Inner Force Ranking System
Beginner — Level 1–10
Early body control.
Weak breath discipline, basic stamina improvement, minor pain tolerance, better balance. Most trained soldiers or guards with any real discipline would be here.
⸻
Intermediate — Level 1–10
Early-mid growth.
Users begin controlling breathing, muscle tension, tendon compression, posture, and explosive movement. They are clearly better than normal fighters but still very human.
⸻
Mid — Level 1–10
Competent martial body.
Physically enhanced through training. Stronger strikes, sharper reflexes, better endurance, controlled breathing under stress. Good knights, duelists, and arena fighters are here.
⸻
High — Level 1–10
Dangerous.
These fighters start feeling "inhuman" to normal people. They can fight through pain, recover balance quickly, generate explosive power, and remain calm in bloodshed.
⸻
Advanced — Level 1–10
Exceptional.
These are elite warriors. Generals, royal guards, famous duelists, battlefield monsters. Their body control is refined enough to influence battles through raw presence, skill, and endurance.
⸻
Master — Level 1–10
Elite old-monster level.
The body is trained with frightening precision. Breathing, nerves, tendon, bone, muscle, blood flow, and mind all work together. They age slower, survive injuries better, and are extremely hard to intimidate.
Bagdemagus and Gandalore could fit here.
⸻
Grandmaster — Level 1–10
Near-mythical but still not magical.
These people are legends. They live unusually long, fight far beyond normal human limits, and remain dangerous even when elderly. Their bodies decline slowly because of discipline, alchemical medicine, and lifelong conditioning.
Duke Staten / Gandalore being 117 makes perfect sense here.
⸻
Lord — Level 1–5
Rare transitional rank.
People at this level are known across kingdoms. They are not just warriors anymore; they are military assets. Their presence can change battlefield morale.
⸻
Duke — Level 1–10
Living national weapon.
Extremely rare. These fighters are studied, feared, and politically valuable. Killing one would be treated like destroying a military fortress.
⸻
King — Level 1–10
Monster among humans.
Not magic. Not supernatural. Just terrifying human refinement. A King-level Inner Force user has near-perfect body command and can stay unfazed under pressure, pain, threat, insult, or battle chaos.
Charles could be somewhere around King Tier, which explains why Morgan's intimidation does not easily work on him.
⸻
Emperor — Level 1–10
Historical legend.
The highest known human martial body. These people become national myths. Not immortal, not magical, but so disciplined that ordinary people would believe they were something more than human.
⸻
Legendary / Unique — Beyond Emperor
Unclassified.
People so rare that Europe does not fully understand them yet. Their body, training, genetics, alchemical treatments, and discipline produce results no one can easily categorize.
No glowing energy.
No magic.
No aura waves.
No fantasy abilities.
Just the science of human body pushed to terrifying extremes.
⸻
The clean in-world explanation:
Inner Force is not magic. It is the science of forcing the body itself to obey breath, tendon, muscle, blood, bone, nerve, and will moving as one.
