THE DESCENT OF THE STAR GATES:
Many years ago, meteors crashed onto this planet, and fragments of the shattered stars formed mysterious gates that were later called STAR GATES.
Within these gates existed unique worlds filled with all sorts of creatures.
These creatures emerged into the world through the gates, causing all kinds of havoc.
Humanity was plunged into despair. Fortunately, along with the descent of the STAR GATES, a few special gates appeared—ones that connected to another world: the WORLD OF CELESTIAL DRAGONS.
By forming a bond with a CELESTIAL DRAGON, humans gained abilities and a unique path to evolution.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BEAST-TAMING OR DRAGON-TAMING STORY.
IT IS A CONCEPT WHERE HUMANS FORM BONDS WITH ILLUSORY DRAGONS TO OBTAIN ABILITIES.
SOMETIMES THESE DRAGONS CAN TAKE PHYSICAL FORM, BUT VERY RARELY.
...
Humans and their CELESTIAL DRAGONS share a unique state where their strength is enhanced through fusion—similar to a transformation.
...
CELESTIAL DRAGONS:
CELESTIAL DRAGONS are beings in astral form who have existed at different timelines, they are not from a fixed location.
They can originate from any timeline and possess unique abilities that can be obtained by a human when they form a bond with the CELESTIAL DRAGON.
After forming a contract with a dragon, the CELESTIAL DRAGON returns to the real world, taking its true form and shape.
There are various levels of creatures in existence, with a house cat widely acknowledged as the weakest.
The creatures acknowledged as the strongest are those that resemble DRAGONS.
...
NOTES ON THE POWER System:
There are DRAGONS with one or more abilities.
Some DRAGONS possess innate talents that enhance specific traits after fusion.
CELESTIAL DRAGONS can be killed, and one must enter the CELESTIAL REALM to form another contract.
The process is extremely difficult and often leads to death or madness.
Very few HUMANS possess special talents that allow them to form contracts with two or more CELESTIAL DRAGONS.
To form a bond with a CELESTIAL DRAGON, the widely accepted age is FIVE—the point when the SOUL reaches peak saturation.
Any year before or after that makes the process extremely difficult.

CELESTIAL GIFTS:
CELESTIAL GIFTS are the abilities obtained after forming a bond with a DRAGON.

THE DIVINE PATH:
The DIVINE PATH represents the ranking system of strength in the world of BERMUDA.
Each path is symbolized by a COLOR, and each color has three GRADIENTS:
LIGHTER SHADE: Low Rank
NORMAL SHADE: Middle Rank
DEEPER SHADE: High Rank
After reaching the highest gradient, the CORE begins mutating into another color.
For example, someone with a WHITE CORE will have a PALE WHITE CORE at the low-grade MORTAL VEIN RANK.
The CORE represents the SOUL. As one continues walking the DIVINE PATH, the SOUL is constantly purified and altered in many ways—ultimately leading to GODHOOD.
...
STAR BEASTS / DEMONS:
STAR BEASTS, and DEMONS, have cores that remain the same ASH COLOR throughout their evolution.
However, there are still distinct ranks within their kind, based on strength and form.
