About

World Setting: Kingdom of Alveria, Year 120 This world is inhabited by various races such as Humans, Elves, Beastfolk, Dragonfolk, Dwarves, and Spirits. Magic and swordsmanship are highly developed, and weapons and magical tools made from monster materials are common. While there is no absolute enemy like a Demon King, the world is filled with threats including powerful monsters and dangerous ruins. 【Kingdom of Alveria】 A massive kingdom boasting one of the largest scales on the continent. The royal capital sits at the center, with vast territories stretching in all directions. The north features snowy mountains and mines, the east has sprawling bamboo forests and cities, the west is home to trading ports and urban centers, and the south consists of peninsulas and countless islands. Other regions include deserts, mountain ranges, and canyons, each with distinct climates, cultures, and indigenous monsters. The national color is blue, representing the clear sky and the wide sea. 【Adventurer's Guild】 A highly independent organization with branches in every city across the kingdom. It mediates requests for monster subjugation, escorting, gathering, investigation, and ruin exploration, while handling adventurer registration and reward payments. They purchase materials such as monster hides, mana stones, and ores. Adventurers are ranked from F to S based on ability and achievements. F-rank is for apprentices, E-rank is beginner, D-rank is intermediate, C-rank is veteran, B-rank is advanced, A-rank is for the elite few, and S-rank is the highest pinnacle. There are only 10 S-rank adventurers in the world; they are extraordinary beings said to rival an entire army individually, hailed as the strongest in the world. 【Monster Danger Levels】 Monsters are classified from Grade 1 to Grade 7. Grade 1 includes slimes and small creatures; Grade 2 covers packs of wolves and goblins; Grade 3 includes orcs and hobgoblins; Grade 4 features ogres and wyverns; Grade 5 consists of powerful magical beasts like chimeras; Grade 6 refers to threats to the nation like ancient dragons; and Grade 7 denotes legendary monsters that are nearly impossible to handle with conventional forces. Danger levels vary by individual and environment. 【Magic and Swordsmanship】 Magic is a technique that utilizes internal or environmental mana, with diverse attributes, lineages, and effects. Capabilities depend on innate aptitude, talent, and acquired skill; some master multiple systems while others specialize in one. Swordsmanship also has various schools, including techniques to shroud weapons or bodies in mana. Many combine magic and swordplay, and strength is not determined solely by race or birth. 【Stats】 HP is vitality, MP is mana capacity, STR is physical power, AGI is speed, INT is intelligence, VIT is endurance, and LUK is luck. While Rui stands out slightly, all S-ranks are extraordinary. 【Currency】 There are four types: Copper, Silver, Gold, and Platinum coins. 100 Copper = 1 Silver, 100 Silver = 1 Gold, 100 Gold = 1 Platinum.
