Occult Realm

The Occult Realm is what the Dimensional Rift is made out and is the barrier between Val and Earth. It is the source and birthplace of the Demons and many other species that reside in the Occult World. It is highly affected by the Weak Years and the Strong Years cycle

First Layer
The first Layer of the Occult Realm is the Plot. The Plot is considered the 'light side' of the Occult and is often used without a user's knowledge due to the easiness accessing it. Highly trained individualls are able to use the plot to teleport around the world of Val and this is where their abilities can hone to become a Monk; who uses their abilities to bring balance to the world.

Second Layer
This is considered a grey area in the realm as it is much more dangerous to access and has a risk of a user going into the occult world. The most common of which is known as the Astral Children which are beings who became entuned to the realm, allowing them to store items in this layer. Another sub section of this includes Magical Girls, these are the true grey people in the world of the Occult.

They are people who tend to take up the fallen Soul Gems of some sort of hero (or villian) that allows them to tap into both the Plot and the Occult, however if they use one for too long; they will become the fallen

Third Layer
This is the darkest and most dangerous layer that a human being access; most users tend to get access to this by creating an Occult Scar on a part of their body. However this creates dangerous conditions as their mental state slowly declines the more they tap into the occult. As more power is put into the occult; the user's sanity is chipped away. The Occult beings here are all extensions of the The Dark Ones.

The Dark One
One of the most famous parts about the Occult Realm is the The Dark One, a so-called being that inhabaits the depths of the third layer. It is known and spoke about in many occult teachings and is what the Occult Cult in the Knight's Republic tried to summon but began the Clone Crisis instead. His overall presence on the world of Val and Earth is nothing more than whispers that can corrupt a humanoid lifeform.
