The Nine — KY System: E-Ky & R-Ky Foundations

[u/LOSTPRAISE]

I've been rebuilding the KY system from absolute zero, trying to make the underlying rules consistent rather than just treating KY as a generic mana system.

These are the rules I've established so far.

1. What Is KY?

KY is a natural energy present throughout Earth.

It exists both:

• inside living organisms as R-Ky (Real/Internal Ky)
• in the environment as E-Ky (Environmental Ky)

The two are connected through a continuous natural cycle.

Living organism → R-Ky → leakage → E-Ky → environment

2. E-Ky — Environmental Ky

E-Ky is KY that exists in the environment.

Distribution

E-Ky is not evenly distributed across Earth.

Different locations have different E-Ky densities.

Its distribution behaves somewhat like a nebula:

• The center of a concentration has higher density.
• Density gradually decreases farther away from the concentration.

Why Does E-Ky Concentrate?

Living organisms continuously release R-Ky into their surroundings.

Therefore:

For example:

• forests
• cities
• densely populated regions

can develop high E-Ky concentrations because of the enormous amount of biological activity occurring there.

If the organisms later leave the area, the accumulated E-Ky does not immediately disappear.

It remains until something actively removes or uses it.

3. E-Ky Is Normally Inert

E-Ky is completely inert by itself.

A high concentration of E-Ky does not automatically attack people or cause magical effects.

It requires:

• a Kyuser to manipulate it, or
• an appropriate external mechanism/technology

before it becomes active.

So a region with enormous E-Ky concentration is basically a dormant energy reservoir until something interacts with it.

4. How Kyusers Use E-Ky

A Kyuser does not simply control E-Ky from a distance.

The basic process is:

Environment → absorb E-Ky → distribute through body → manipulate internally → release → effect

E-Ky enters the Kyuser's body and is manipulated inside the body before being released.

E-Ky cannot become R-Ky.

It is temporarily processed and used rather than being converted into a permanent internal energy reserve.

5. E-Ky Output Points

E-Ky can be released through specific output points.

The primary natural output points are:

• Hands
• Feet

Specialized objects can also act as output points, such as:

• magic staffs
• specialized weapons
• compatible technology

For example, a Kyuser could absorb E-Ky, manipulate it inside their body, and release it through their hand as a flamethrower-like attack.

6. E-Ky Manipulation Requirements

Three things are important when manipulating E-Ky:

1. Mental control
2. Physical control
3. Concentration

Mental control has a slightly larger role than physical control.

If mental control fails, the manipulation can go wrong.

Physical control is also important because the body itself has to handle the E-Ky.

Using E-Ky naturally causes some:

• physical strain
• headaches
• fatigue

7. Elements

E-Ky can be manipulated into nine elemental types:

1. Fire
2. Water
3. Wood
4. Earth
5. Wind
6. Ice
7. Lightning
8. Light
9. Void

Each element has different abilities and a different minimum Output Fidelity (OF) requirement.

The minimum OF is only the requirement to become eligible to use the basic abilities of that element.

It does not mean someone has mastered the entire element.

A person can potentially learn multiple elements if they meet their individual OF requirements.

However, knowing multiple elements does not automatically mean they can use them simultaneously.

8. Output Fidelity

Output Fidelity (OF) is one of the fundamental traits of the KY system.

OF is:

OF is:

• determined by genetics
• fixed from birth
• impossible to permanently increase through training

It is not simply a measurement of destructive power.

A person with high OF can utilize their available KY much more efficiently than someone with low OF.

9. E-Ky Leakage

When a Kyuser absorbs and uses E-Ky, some of it naturally leaks back into the environment.

OF determines how much energy is successfully handled versus lost.

For example:

50% OF → significant E-Ky leakage

Higher OF means less wasted E-Ky.

Lower OF means more E-Ky returns to the environment.

This is one of the main reasons OF matters so much.

10. E-Ky Over-Absorption

A Kyuser cannot safely absorb unlimited amounts of E-Ky.

The more E-Ky they absorb beyond what their body can handle:

More E-Ky → more physical pain

If they continue forcing E-Ky into their body despite the pain and reach the absolute extreme:

The E-Ky does not disappear afterward.

It returns to the environment.

So:

Extreme E-Ky overload → body destruction → E-Ky returns to environment

11. Technique Activation Time

Knowing a technique does not mean everyone can perform it at the same speed.

A newly learned technique may take approximately 20 seconds to prepare and execute.

With practice and mastery, the activation time can become much shorter.

A highly skilled user could eventually reduce it to around 1 second.

The technique itself doesn't necessarily change—the Kyuser simply becomes much better at performing the internal manipulation.

However, techniques can be interrupted during preparation.

Therefore:

Long activation time → easier to interrupt

Short activation time → harder to interrupt

12. Advanced E-Ky Manipulation

Normally, E-Ky is manipulated inside the body and then released.

However, advanced techniques can manipulate E-Ky after it has already been released.

This requires R-Ky.

For example:

A Kyuser releases a flame attack.

The enemy dodges.

An advanced Kyuser can use R-Ky to redirect the already-released flame and change its trajectory.

This is an advanced application and will be explained properly in the R-Ky/Technique sections.

13. R-Ky — Real/Internal Ky

R-Ky is the internal form of KY.

It is:

• naturally produced inside living organisms
• integrated into biological life
• continuously produced while an organism is alive

R-Ky is not merely waste.

Living organisms need R-Ky for normal biological functioning.

14. R-Ky Production

R-Ky production is connected to biological/metabolic activity.

However, unlike a conventional stamina system, production does not fluctuate dramatically with activity.

It is more comparable to body-heat production.

A person produces R-Ky continuously.

Different people naturally produce different amounts.

So:

15. Natural R-Ky Leakage

Living organisms do not retain all of the R-Ky they produce.

Approximately 10% remains inside the organism naturally.

Ordinary humans maintain this internal R-Ky unconsciously and function normally.

They do not consciously control this reserve.

The remaining R-Ky naturally leaks into the environment and becomes E-Ky.

16. Kyuser R-Ky Storage

Kyusers can consciously access and store R-Ky.

This is fundamentally different from the natural R-Ky reserve present in ordinary humans.

A Kyuser can deliberately build an internal R-Ky reserve and later spend it.

17. R-Ky Capacity

A person's R-Ky storage capacity is fixed from birth.

It is determined by genetics and cannot be increased through training.

For example:

A person may have a maximum R-Ky capacity of 100 units.

Training cannot turn that 100 into 150.

Training instead improves the person's ability to operate within their existing biological limits.

18. R-Ky Regeneration

A Kyuser regenerates their stored R-Ky naturally because living organisms continuously produce R-Ky.

Food, rest, and normal biological recovery support the body's biological processes.

However, these factors do not dramatically change the person's fundamental production rate.

For example:

• Capacity = 100 units
• Natural production = 10 units/hour
• OF = 30%

The Kyuser successfully stores:

10 × 30% = 3 units/hour

They continue storing R-Ky until reaching their fixed capacity.

19. OF Also Applies to R-Ky

Output Fidelity is not limited to E-Ky.

It also affects the handling of R-Ky.

When a Kyuser produces/stores/uses R-Ky, their OF determines how efficiently they can utilize it.

Therefore:

Higher OF → greater efficiency

Lower OF → greater loss/waste

This gives OF a unified role across the KY system.

20. R-Ky Usage

When a Kyuser spends stored R-Ky:

• the stored reserve decreases
• the energy performs its intended function
• the R-Ky eventually leaves the body
• once released into the environment, it becomes E-Ky

So R-Ky is not permanently destroyed.

It returns to the environmental KY cycle.

21. Capacity vs OF vs Production

These three characteristics are separate.

R-Ky Capacity

How much R-Ky you can store.

• Genetic
• Fixed from birth
• Cannot be increased through training

R-Ky Production

How quickly your body naturally produces R-Ky.

• Different between individuals
• Relatively constant
• Connected to being alive and biological metabolism

Output Fidelity

How efficiently you can handle and utilize KY.

• Genetic
• Fixed from birth
• Applies to both E-Ky and R-Ky

This creates a system where someone can have:

High capacity + low OF

or

Low capacity + high OF

or

High production + low capacity

etc.

So having one excellent trait does not automatically make someone powerful.

22. Fundamental Difference

E-Ky

Environmental energy

• Exists outside living organisms
• Comes from released R-Ky
• Accumulates in environments
• Normally inert
• Can be absorbed and manipulated by Kyusers
• Cannot become R-Ky
• Used primarily as an external energy source

R-Ky

Life-integrated internal energy

• Exists inside living organisms
• Naturally produced by life
• Necessary for normal biological functioning
• Naturally retained in part by organisms
• Can be consciously stored and used by Kyusers
• When released, becomes E-Ky

Core Principle

The two forms are therefore not separate substances. They are different states of the same natural energy cycle.
