3. DREAM DRIVE SYSTEM – [DDS] is a system that was created to give life to an ideal community.
4. DREAM DRIVE DEVICE– [DDD / D3 / DEVICE] looks like an ordinary Cellphone, but is actually a tool that allows one to cast and store SONGS, SUMMONED BEINGS and WEAPONS. The storage value is dependent to the RANK and ROLE of an individual to its Kingdom.
5. WEAPONS（武器・ウェポン） – Weapons created by “Dream Drive System” although they are illusions the harm can still be fatal.
5.A. REGALIA レガリア– 8 in numbers, only the kings of each kingdom possess and can access these ultimate weapons [Actual forged weapons not related to the DDS, but can still kill illusions]
5.B. EMBLEM エムブレム– Swords given to worthy individuals, numbers are unknown [Actual forged weapons not related to the DDS, but can still kill illusions]
5.C. HEIRLOOM エイローム– Named Weapons with the insignia of the kingdom, given to officer ranks in each kingdom, such weapons in this category is unique. Forged by BLACKSMITHs SKILL in the DD System
5.D. BLANK SLATE スレート– Lower class, nameless weapons more commonly known as SLATES that are often bought in shops or forged by a blacksmith, since they are blank slates and nothing is written on them they have the ability to grow and evolve to become an HEIRLOOM or even an EMBLEM.
6. SUMMONS （召喚）– a term to call forth contracted beings to aid in combat. These beings just like the weapons are born from the “Dream Drive System”, needs actual academic and non-academic intelligence to summon the beasts. IQ is converted as INT as it is scanned through the “DEVICE”
In the Midnight Congregation individuals cannot buy summoned creatures, rather they are tamed or called forth.
6.A. Two ways to make a contract:
6.A.1. Gather SPRITES, which can be collected after defeating REMNANTS. These SPRITES then are used as medium for summoning using algorithms to randomly summon an AESIR;
6.A.2. Subdue a REMNANT and make him your SERVANT.
SPRITEs – affinity SALAMANDER (火fire), UNDINE (水 water), GNOMES (土earth), JINNS (風wind), JASPER (雷lightning), WISP (光light), IMPS (闇darkness) and LYRICS (音sound). By gathering them in numbers you have a good chance to summon the being that you imagine.
7. AESIRS – Higher Order Beings, God Class Summons or Hero Class Summons, needs a great amount of intelligence and concentration. Summons in this type of category are unique and therefore can only be summoned one at a time by an individual contractor.
Summoning AESIRS needs quite an amount of Intelligence and Imagination to summon one and a very high Concentration to control one.
Once summoned, the being will be “REGISTERED” through the user’s D3 and into the DDS.
The requirement for another SUMMONER to contract the same AESIR is to have:
•INT (the initial summoner’s INT) + 30% INT (the current summoner)
8. SERVANTS– beings which varies in different forms and sizes. They are ranked from A to F, A being the strongest. Another is S Class as special creatures, which are rarely seen roaming around. REMNANTS who sign contracts with Residents of the each of the Kingdoms of the Midnight Congregations then are called
SERVANTS.
9. SONG（歌・ソング） – a magic casting system stored on lyrics and verses of a SONG, completing the whole song will let you cast the ultimate spell. But for practicality most casters just memorize a single VERSE of a certain SONG to cast different types of magic.

10. IUDICIUM REBELION（ユディシウムの反逆） – A secret war waged between the King of Illusion together with the 4 gods (SUZAKU (玄武), SEIRYUU (青竜), GENBU (朱雀) and BYAKU (百虎)) vs. some Gangs who converged aiming to stop the king from taking the Philippine Government using the Dream Drive System.
11. INHABITANTS（住民）– Aptly coined term to identify the people who belong to any of the 8 kingdoms. Inhabitants are of two types:
11.A. HOUSEHOLD– Household are inhabitants that play the role of civilians, they do everything they can to make their kingdoms productive through agriculture, aesthetics, and other methods.
11.B. RETAINERS（家臣）– Retainers are inhabitants that are considered the fighting force of the kingdoms,
