Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I come back with another headache. This thread will be focused on Stories and Status.
Stories are the fundamental building blocks of reality. Their applications range from defining the properties of an object to defining the properties of an entire dimension.
For a dimension to function correctly, all its own concepts must be created, inked, defined and described. The stories of the dimensions are independent of each other, and so these concepts too are independent of those of the other dimensions. If even one essential concept is missing or left undefined, the dimension itself can become fragmented or nonsensical. For instance, in one world where the concept of taste was not well-defined, anything edible that was created just had no taste. Similarly, the lack of a coherent concept of space made its understanding impossible.
Each dimension has its own Notion of time, independent of other dimensions, and this time can flow differently from one dimension to another. Dimensions have their own temporal and spatial axes which govern their functioning. When stories are interrupted or, to put it simply, are no longer written, the flow of time in the corresponding dimension stops. Conversely, when stories are resumed, time begins to flow again.
Stories are not static records of events-they are alive, interactive, and capable of influencing reality. Stories can be changed through interaction, and in doing so, the nature of reality is also changed. The whole world itself is just a big story containing all the other stories that participate in it.
Status in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a concept related to stories and is used by everything in the verse. The section below will explain how Status qualifies for a Universal Energy System.
Status is generated and influenced by stories. Thus, anything with a story has a Status. Status is a kind of energy, the source of magical power and any other energy like ether. It powers everything, be it skills, stigmas or powers.
The amount of magical power invested in a skill or stigma determines how powerful it is. Increasing Status or Magic Power invested in various skills and stigmas increases their effects, such as: increasing Magic Power increases the power of a skill, increasing Status increases power and speed.
Ether can be used to wrap a sword and make it stronger. Magic Power can be used in various ways such as shooting energy beams or strengthening the body. Status is what strengthens the body, with an increase in Status leading to a direct increase in physical stats.
The Status window that displays stats like in a video game displays the effectiveness of body strengthening using Status. Physical and Strength levels refer to durability and lifting strength respectively, the Agility level refers to speed and the Magic Power level refers to the amount of Magic Power that can be drawn from the Status. An increase in these stats directly shows that the Status received by the body has increased.
The majority of Status are more than what the body can handle, the status window therefore allows the stats to slowly increase so that the body can be rebuilt little by little to accommodate more Status. An increase in Status allows for more body strengthening, increasing power, increasing speed and also increasing lifting strength.
STORIES
Explanations
Stories are the core concept of Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. Everything is made of stories and is stories.Stories are the fundamental building blocks of reality. Their applications range from defining the properties of an object to defining the properties of an entire dimension.
For a dimension to function correctly, all its own concepts must be created, inked, defined and described. The stories of the dimensions are independent of each other, and so these concepts too are independent of those of the other dimensions.

Abilities
Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1) & Information Manipulation (Type 2) - Stories are the fundamental building blocks of reality. Stories define in a more abstract way an object, a dimension (defining its concepts such as taste, space, time or the axes of space and time), a person (being more abstract even than the soul, defining the memory as well as the life and death of a person), and reality in its entirety (defining all the space and time of reality as well as the laws that govern it). Stories are created outside of space and time, outside of the world, in the Snowfield where all space and time of reality is created.
Law Manipulation - Stories define the laws of the world and their manipulation allows the modification of these laws.
Void Manipulation - Stories make up the Outer Universe which is a void of nothingness.
Dimensional Manipulation & Space-Time Manipulation - Dimensions are made of stories. These stories define the concepts of space and time and any other concepts necessary for the inhabitants of these dimensions and by manipulating the stories, a being is able to manipulate the axes and the space-time.
Plot Manipulation - The world being only a story and a novel, by manipulating the stories, one being is able to modify the plot of another or even the world.
Soul Manipulation - By manipulating stories, a being is directly able to manipulate the soul.
Conceptual Absorption (Type 1) & Fusionism - Those who manipulate stories can absorb or merge stories.
STATUS
Status in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is a concept related to stories and is used by everything in the verse. The section below will explain how Status qualifies for a Universal Energy System.
Limited Energy System
Status is generated and influenced by stories. Thus, anything with a story has a Status. Status is a kind of energy, the source of magical power and any other energy like ether. It powers everything, be it skills, stigmas or powers.Non-Physical Energy System
The amount of magical power invested in a skill or stigma determines how powerful it is. Increasing Status or Magic Power invested in various skills and stigmas increases their effects, such as: increasing Magic Power increases the power of a skill, increasing Status increases power and speed.Universal Energy System
Ether can be used to wrap a sword and make it stronger. Magic Power can be used in various ways such as shooting energy beams or strengthening the body. Status is what strengthens the body, with an increase in Status leading to a direct increase in physical stats.The Status window that displays stats like in a video game displays the effectiveness of body strengthening using Status. Physical and Strength levels refer to durability and lifting strength respectively, the Agility level refers to speed and the Magic Power level refers to the amount of Magic Power that can be drawn from the Status. An increase in these stats directly shows that the Status received by the body has increased.
The majority of Status are more than what the body can handle, the status window therefore allows the stats to slowly increase so that the body can be rebuilt little by little to accommodate more Status. An increase in Status allows for more body strengthening, increasing power, increasing speed and also increasing lifting strength.
