Core Refinement Training

What is Core Refinement Training?

​

Core Refinement Training is a method of growth that uses Monster Cores as catalysts to enhance physical, magical, and even spiritual capabilities, with all-around various aspects to its benefits. Unlike Spells or Ki Techniques that require some form of direct mana control or physical conditioning, Core Refinement relies entirely on extracting the latent power within Monster Cores to influence and develop oneself over time.

​

This method is not the simple process of consumption that is commonly used; it involves structured training, careful pathways, and decision-making at various stages to tailor growth paths to the individual’s needs.

​

Why Does Core Refinement Training Exist?

​

The practice of Core Refinement has its roots in the discovery of Monster Cores, which contain concentrated mana and unique capabilities from the creatures they originate from. Over time, practitioners realized that these cores could be used for more than temporary boosts— they could become a foundation for growth and specialization using the monsters as a basis.

​

Thanks to this realization, great experts throughout the world used various ancient methods as a basis and built the foundation of what is today known as Core Refinement Training, something that has only recently begun to become popular throughout the lands.

​

By refining cores through proper methods, individuals can tap into the remanent of the being stored within, creating a sustainable path to unlocking potential.

​

How Does Core Refinement Training Work?

​

Core Refinement Training involves using specific methods to form structured pathways that allow practitioners to draw out the core’s power in stages, aligning it with their own abilities and goals. Each stage of refinement provides unique benefits, with opportunities to specialize based on the type and rank of the core used. Oftentimes, methods allow the user to choose the pathway they wish to take.

​

The process includes:

  • Core Extraction: Preparing the core through refinement.

  • Core Absorption: Gradually integrating the core into one’s body using the method they gain; this forms the initial node that all following pathways will branch from.

  • Path Selection: At certain milestones, practitioners can choose a specific refinement path, altering the trajectory of their growth.

  • Advanced Growth: Higher stages of training unlock new abilities, and can allow one to progress to higher methods.

​

What Are the Rankings?

​

  • D-Rank Refinement Methods: Provide basic enhancements with limited benefits. Ideal for beginners starting their refinement journey and often allows the formation of multiple pathways.

  • C-Rank Refinement Methods: Offer moderate boosts and more defined pathways, suitable for those with foundational training. However, some can force limitations upon the user.

  • B-Rank Refinement Methods: Begin to introduce specialization, granting unique abilities and noticeable growth. Some methods are very restricted.

  • A-Rank Refinement Methods: Provide advanced traits and significant power increases, often requiring rigorous training to handle. These paths often come with the limitation of stopping the formation of other similar leveled pathways.

  • S-Rank Refinement Methods: Contain immense potential, unlocking powerful abilities but requiring mastery and careful refinement to avoid catastrophic effects. All are single-path methods unless specialized otherwise.

​

Core Refinement Limitations

​

  • Compatibility: Not all cores are suitable for every practitioner. Mismatched cores may lead to instability or diminished results.

  • Core Quality: Poorly refined cores can cause harm or fail to integrate properly.

  • Training Duration: Refinement is a time-intensive process, with higher ranks requiring greater patience and effort.

  • Specialization Risks: Over-specialization in a particular path may limit flexibility or create vulnerabilities.
