The Power System of Fragment
Explained by Alex Lionheart
---
Aether
Aether is the living energy flowing through all existence within Fragment.
It exists in the air, living beings, dimensions, memories, and even emotions.
Unlike normal energy, Aether possesses intent.
It responds to:
- emotion
- willpower
- instinct
- mental state
- destiny
The stronger the will, the stronger the synchronization with Aether.
This is why emotionally unstable individuals often become extremely powerful… or catastrophically dangerous.
Aether can strengthen:
- the body
- the mind
- weapons
- elemental abilities
- dimensions themselves
Every awakened human manipulates Aether differently depending on their:
- attribute
- personality
- soul resonance
- core type
---
Void Resonance
Void Resonance is the similar to aether but it's not like natural aether it's more of corrupted personal aether . Natural aether acts like a ten times multiplayer to create more damage when using your attributes . Personal aether is the aether you use to activate your attributes .
Aether represents existence, harmony, and evolution…
Void Resonance represents:
- collapse
- corruption
- instability
- entropy
- dimensional decay
- destruction
- hatred
Void energy often originates from:
- failed Collapses
- dimensional fractures
- corrupted entities
- dead dimensions
- ancient sealed beings
- emotion (feelings of hatred mostly)
- Absorbing too much aether
-Absorbing corrupted aether from monsters
Humans exposed to Void Resonance may:
- mutate
- lose sanity
- gain corrupted abilities
- become Hollowborn
- evolve into monsters
However…
Rare individuals can survive Void synchronization.
Those individuals are considered anomalies.
And anomalies are feared by gods and even the System itself.

Resonance Core
Every awakened monster possesses a Resonance Core.
The Core is the spiritual center where Corrupted Aether now known as void energy gathers and evolves.
It is usually located near the heart or soul-space.
The stronger the Core becomes:
- the more Void energy it can contain
- the greater synchronization becomes
- the more corrupted the user becomes
A damaged Core can:
- cripple an awakened permanently
- corrupt abilities
- destabilize emotions
- kill the user

The System struggles to categorize them.
It is rumoured that Arthur and Sunny both possess signs of Fragmented evolution due to them being vessels.

Final Truth
Power in Fragment is not fair.
The stronger someone becomes:
- the more isolated they become
- the more unstable reality becomes around them
- the more attention they attract
From monsters.
From gods.
From demons.
And from things far older than all of them.
It is rumoured that some monsters can become human again and people can become monsters due to a having a vow although the requirements of obtaining a vow are near impossible to complete and are brutal .
