GRIMOIRE RANKS (AND THEIR FIXED NUMBERS):
Bronze Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only a million can exist at a time.
Silver Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only 100 thousands can exist at a time.
Gold Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only 10 thousands can exist at a time.
Platinum Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only a thousand can exist at a time.
Diamond Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only a hundred can exist at a time.
Holy Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only a hundred can exist at a time.
Godly Grimoire (beginner, intermediate, advanced) Only ten can exist at a time.
DESCRIPTION:
Grimoires are basically magic books that allows one (who can use them) to make contract with beasts if they are willing (basically, think of it like the Advent Deck in Kamen Rider Ryuki, but you have more than one Contract Card).
Grimoire Ranks gain exp as the summoners uses their grimoire during battles. When the required amount of exp is met, it will evolve to a higher ranked grimoire. The higher ranked grimoire will be able to contract beasts more easily). Celestial Grimoires are made up of Holy Grimoire and Godly Grimoire.
The numbers of Grimoires of certain ranks cannot be changed or surpassed. e.g: if there exists a thousand Platinum Grimoires, then even if a Gold Grimoire owner got the required exp or fulfilled certain conditions, their Grimoire won't evolve in rank unless a Platinum Grimoire owner died/was killed.
To get a Holy Grimoire, a Grimoire owner must already have a Diamond Grimoire, and they must kill a previous Holy Grimoire owner then fuse the his Grimoire and the Holy Grimoire to create a new Holy Grimoire.
Godly Grimoires cannot be acquired normally, nor can one turn their Grimoire into a Godly Grimoire, as only a God can have them. Though if one is able to kill a God, they can snatch away the deceased God's Godly Grimoire.
SUMMONER RANKS:
Level 1 [Apprentice] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 2 [Braveman] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 3 [Hero] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

level 5 [Grandmaster] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 6 [Elder] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 7 [Overlord] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 8 [Emperor] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
Level 9 [Sage] (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
DESCRIPTION:
They are the people capable of owning a Grimoire (which would always be theirs until death)
Summoner/Ranker Ranks gain exp as the summoners uses their grimoire during battles. When the required amount of exp is met, the rank will evolve to a higher level ranks.
Do note that these ranks are different from Innate Ranks. Innate are more like physical skills while these are the ranks for summoning skills.
The story probably might reach this point, but I might put it in here just in case. Don't know how my mind works at times.

INNATE RANKS:
Earth Tier (Lv. 1 – 9)
Earth Tier (Lv. 10), also known as Heaven Tier (Lv. 1)
Heaven Tier (Lv. 1 – 10)
Divine Tier (Lv. 1 – 11)
Each level is ten times stronger than the previous one, except Divine Tier Lv. 11, where the difference is a hundred times stronger than before.
Divine Tier lv. 11 is when one becomes a Divine Supreme (Comprehension of Fate, Destiny, Throne System, what not) They basically are the reality but can't really exist physically due to being so immensely powerful their mere existence and power can destroy all the cosmos. Only a single Divine Supreme can exist at a time, and if there are more than one, they must kill each other due to their energies being too volatile to coexist until only one Divine Supreme remains. (totally not ripping off a concept from another media, definitely)
Description:
When one reaches the [Sage] level, they normally count as Innate Level 1. Though that's just one way to become an Innate.
One can usually become an Innate by many methods. One can train and practice an Innate Technique, usually when they are a bit lower than or equal to a [Sage] level summoner, though that isn't always the case (original MC had the Innate Invisible Sword Qi technique to practice. He even got it right away, so it doesn't even qualify as spoilers for whoever wants to read the original novel).
They can also become Innates by eating a special pill/concotion, but at the price of sacrificing all their potential growth, and even then, they aren't as strong as Innates on their level.
BEASTS RANKS:
Normal-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
Bronze-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
Silver-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
Gold-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
Platinum-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
Diamond-ranked Beast (Lv. 1 – 10)
DESCRIPTION:
Beasts will gain exp through battles. When the required exp is met, it will rise a level.
Elite Beast: A term used for beasts that has gone through Variant Evolutions. Beasts will only undergo a variant evolution (i.e normal > bronze) if it eats magic/demon crystals. Each variant evolution will increase the beasts’ strength by many times times.
Holy Beast: A term used for beasts who have high intelligence, have a humanoid appearance and have the ability to speak.
Mythical/Divine Beast: A term used for beasts who are similar to Holy Beasts, but own their own grimoire.
Transcending Mythical/Divine Beast: Bound to its summoner and live inside their summoners’ bodies.
Star Rating: Beasts are rated from 1-10 stars based on their intelligence, humanoid appearance and potential.
Tiers: Beasts that has a star rating of 9 and 10 are Holy Beasts/Divine Beasts. They are then further sub-divided into First Tier to Ninth Tier. A First Tier Holy Beast would already have the powers of a Level 9 Normal-ranked beast or more.
BEAST TYPES:
Special-type: Mainly use life Skills or reconnaissance Skills to gather intelligence. Other monsters that are included in this type also have special powers that would assist in the battle in some way.
Strengthening-type: Can directly boost the summoner's combat abilities and hence were crucial to their survival.
Fighting-type or Battle-type: Used the beast's bodies directly to make their attacks against the enemy more powerful and added that extra bit of sting. These are the combat type beasts.
Element-type: Can either be a pure elemental-force or in a beast-form. They can either fight as an elemental being controlling their element or merge with their summoner to give them some of their elemental powers. (like a Strengthening-type)
SOARING DRAGON CONTINENT:
Ir is the land of Rankers ruled by the three kingdoms, four major clans, and four major sects. All the people live in glory due to their Summoning ability. Aside from the Three Royal Households that would cultivate the next emperor, there are also Four Major Houses of "Feng (wind), Xue (snow), Yue (earth) and Yan (fire).
There are also the Four Great Sects who also gathered many strong Summoners/Rankers to pursue heaven’s way, and didn’t usually concern themselves with the things in the mortal world. However, they would send their disciples out from the mountains/place once every three years as their final training.
A large tower that is easily thousands of meters high, and it's diameter reaches at leasth 3 kilometers. Only one Tong Tian Tower exists, and it links the Soaring Dragon Continent with the Heaven Realm.
It consists of ten floors, each floor is ten times larger than the one before, to the point that the Soaring Dragon Continent would only look like a village compared to the size of the higher floors.
Each floor also increases the feeling of pressure/gravity imposed on oneself.
Innates usually appear only in the sixth floor and higher.
The Tenth floor connects to the Heaven Realm
