SPECIAL DEMONS (THESE DEMONS ARE PLOT IMPORTANT PLEASE REMEMBER THESE)
Core Demons — Explained Simply
"A Core Demon isn't alive the way other demons are.
Its body is just a weapon.
Its heart is the only thing that matters."
What Is a Core Demon? (YOU MAY ASK OR NOT IDK JS READ THE DAMN THING PLEASE...)
A Core Demon is a powerful demon whose life is anchored to a single object called a Core Orb.
The body is replaceable
The Core Orb is the demon itself
As long as the Core Orb exists:
The demon cannot truly die
It can regenerate from fatal damage
Destroying limbs or organs only slows it down
When the Core Orb is destroyed:
The body collapses into dust
The demon is erased completely
No regeneration, no return
How Core Demons Fight
Core Demons are built to punish careless fighting.
Hitting the body does damage, but never finishes the fight
They heal, adapt, and push forward
The Core Orb is always visible—but rarely easy to reach
Most Core Demons:
Bury the Core in armor
Hide it behind illusions
Force enemies into bad positions to protect it
Winning means precision, not brute force.
Why Core Demons Are Dangerous
1. They Don't Fear Death
They know their body is disposable.
2. They Force Teamwork
One fighter draws attention. Another reaches the Core.
3. They Punish Mistakes
Destroying the Core the wrong way wastes the reward forever.
The Reward for Killing a Core Demon
Every Core Demon carries a passive ability bound to its Core Orb.
If a Chosen whose powers match the demon's nature destroys the Core:
The Chosen permanently gains that passive skill
If anyone else destroys it:
The demon dies
The power is lost
This turns every Core Demon fight into a strategic decision, not just a battle.
Class Matching (Reader-Friendly Version) 🫵😐
"Only the right kind of power can claim the Core."
Examples:
Physical Core → Shojiro
Mechanical Core → Karl
Spirit Core → Kirie
Curse Core → Shizuna
Defense Core → Natsumi
The match doesn't have to be perfect — just aligned.
Why Core Demons Exist
Core Demons form when a demon:
Survives countless battles
Absorbs massive Ichor
Becomes obsessed with a single concept
(strength, speed, defense, fear, control)
That obsession condenses into a Core Orb.
A demon that stops fearing death eventually stops needing a body.
Mythic Core Demons — When Memory Becomes a Weapon
"These demons don't live on blood alone.
They live on remembrance."
What Makes a Core Demon "Mythic"?
A Mythic Core Demon is a Core Demon whose Core is fueled by human memory and fear.
They are born from:
Legends
Myths
Historical figures remembered as monsters or heroes
Their strength depends on:
How many people remember them
How distorted the legend is
How much fear is attached to the story
How Mythic Demons Change Mid-Fight
Mythic Core Demons don't stay consistent.
When heavily damaged:
Their original personality begins to break
The legend people remember takes over
This causes a sudden shift:
New abilities
More extreme behavior
Greater raw power
The fight becomes harder, not easier.
Legend vs Reality
What matters isn't the truth.
What matters is what people believe.
A "clumsy giant" becomes slower but unstoppable
A "monster with a deadly gaze" gains omnidirectional sight
A "hero who never backs down" becomes obsessed with final battles
The demon reflects the memory, not the history.
The Risk of Mythic Rewards
Destroying a Mythic Core grants a powerful passive—but it isn't clean.
The Chosen may inherit:
Emotional residue
Instincts
Behavioral side effects
Power gained from a legend carries the weight of the legend.
Why This Matters to the Story
Core Demons create meaningful progression
Mythic Core Demons tie battles to culture and history
Every victory leaves a mark—power always has a cost
Legends become enemies, and enemies become scars
One-Line Summary for Readers 🫵😐
Core Demons must be killed by destroying their heart.
Mythic Core Demons must be killed by confronting a legend.
