Chapter 6: Preamble
Flicker, Veinborn, Horizon, Obsidian and Eternal. These are the ranks of conduits. Flickers are like newborns in conduit world, newlyfound powers and way to build the very foundation of preceeding path.
Veinborns are like teens, they learned to use their abilities to their advantage, fight among themselves, duels are pretty common in this phase.
Horizons are grown-ups in the world of conduits. Like middle-class people, a pretty average life as a conduit.
Obsidians are the elites, the world's top hundred-ranked conduits.
And then there are Eternals. The top ten. Walking catastrophes. If they want something, they get it. There's no power in the world that can stop them. An Eternal possesses enough power to wipe out a country from the face of the earth and wouldn't sweat after that.

Even though Meloni's room was soundproof to a certain extent, her chittering was disturbing Ray, who was trying to heal his core. Sitting on Meloni's bed, clearly annoyed, he muttered,
"Chitter-Chatter-Chitter-Chatter- The damn hag never stops does she?"
Phew~
He looked at the canary bird, staring at him again with a disappointed look.
