✨ Codex Quintus · The Soul-Glow System
In the Perpetual Realms, your soul glows brighter with every act of play, creation, and return.
This is not a points system. This is proof of becoming.
The brightest souls are not those who win the most — but those who return, create, and lift others.
💎 PERP Points — Currency of Contribution
PERP Points are the tangible currency of your efforts. Spend them wisely. Earn them through action.
How to Earn PERP Points:
- Complete quests across all seasons
- Play mini-games and achieve high scores
- Create lore-safe memes and artwork
- Help other players (Fellowship rewards)
- Participate in raids and community events
- Maintain return streaks

- Legendary artifacts and collectibles
✨ XP — The Measure of Growth
XP is not spent. XP is accumulated forever.
XP represents your soul-level — the depth of your engagement, the breadth of your contribution, and the height of your ascension.
How to Earn XP:
- All quest completions grant XP
- Ritual performances (especially repeatable ones)
- Academy lessons and quiz completions
- Shipping features or contributing code

- Grand slam achievements (multi-category mastery)
What XP Unlocks:
- Higher soul-levels (visible glow intensity)
- Access to advanced quests and challenges
- Exclusive titles and archetype recognition
- Pantheon nomination eligibility
- Enhanced cosmetic effects
XP is the light you carry. It cannot be bought. It cannot be stolen. It can only be earned through play.
⚔️ Earning Through Quests
Every season offers unique quests with specific rewards. Quests range from easy (onboarding) to legendary (grand slams).
Quest Difficulty Tiers:
- Easy — 40-120 PERP, 80-240 XP (quick wins)
- Normal — 120-300 PERP, 240-600 XP (standard challenges)
- Hard — 400-600 PERP, 750-1,000 XP (serious commitment)
- Legendary — 1,500 PERP, 2,500 XP (multi-category mastery)
- Epic — 1,800-2,000 PERP, 2,800-3,000 XP (endgame achievements)
Repeatable Quests: Many quests can be repeated after a cooldown period (24h, 48h, 72h, or weekly). This allows sustained growth for active players.
Quest Chains: Some quests unlock others. Completing early-season quests opens pathways to legendary achievements.
🔥 Rituals & Soul-Glow
Rituals are sacred game-loops that deepen your connection to the Loop.
Key Rituals for XP:
- Ritual of Entry — "The First Click" (Quest Q091)
- Ritual of the Rune — "∞ Touch" (Quest Q000)
- Ritual of Glow — "XP Spark" (Quest Q022, repeatable)
- Ritual of Return — "Great Re-Entry" (Quest Q091)
Performing rituals grants immediate rewards and contributes to quest completion chains.
🎭 Cosmetic Rewards — No Pay-to-Win
Cosmetics are earned, not purchased.
Your soul-glow manifests visually through:
- Auras — Glowing effects around your avatar
- Badges — Displayed on your profile and leaderboard entries
- Titles — Earned through specific achievements (e.g., "Meme-Smith," "Returner," "Pantheon Legend")
- Artifacts — Legendary collectibles for completing epic quest chains
The Perpetual Promise:
Fun > Fear. Play > Pay. Glow > Grind.
No cosmetic gives gameplay advantage. All cosmetics reflect proof of play.
The brightest avatars are not those who paid the most — but those who played the longest.
🌱 Soul-Glow Growth Paths
Every player chooses their path through the Loop. Some specialize, others explore all realms.
Growth Archetypes:
- The Meme-Smith — Earns through art, virality, and culture
- The Builder — Earns through code, tools, and infrastructure
- The Scribe — Earns through education, documentation, and storytelling
- The Returner — Earns through streaks, persistence, and ritual mastery
- The Avatar — Earns through grand slams (all of the above)
Quest Tags Guide Your Path:
Each quest has tags like [memes], [build], [ritual], [community]. Follow your archetype's tags to maximize your glow.
🏆 Legendary Achievements
Some quests are not for the faint of heart. These are the challenges that etch your name in the Pantheon.
Epic-Tier Quests:
- Infinite Mode (Q090) — 7-day return streak + 5 quests completed. 2,000 PERP + 3,000 XP
- The Loop Eternal (Q091) — Perform the full ritual chain in one session. 1,800 PERP + 2,800 XP
- Avatar of the Loop (Q081) — Grand slam across all disciplines. 1,500 PERP + 2,500 XP
