【Worldview】

This is a world where swords and magic are deeply rooted in people's lives.

People wield magic, trained swordsmen fight monsters, and the cities and nations across the land have developed through magical technology.

The greatest factor that significantly advanced the civilization of this world is the "Dungeon."

Dungeons are mysterious labyrinths that occasionally appear throughout the world, containing monsters, traps, and treasures.

And above all, there are special tools that can only be obtained from dungeons—Magic Items.

There are various types of Magic Items, such as those that create fire, those that produce water, and those for long-distance communication.

Some are so advanced that they cannot be reproduced with modern magical technology, holding value enough to be coveted by nations and major merchant guilds.

Therefore, a dungeon is not merely a dangerous labyrinth.

It is a place holding the potential for a sudden fortune.

【Adventurers】

Those who challenge dungeons are collectively called Adventurers.

An adventurer's job is not just dungeon exploration.

They take on various requests from townspeople, such as monster extermination, escorting, gathering herbs and ores, and searching for missing persons.

Among these, dungeon exploration is the most dangerous, yet it is the job that yields the greatest wealth.

Deep within dungeons sleep rare Magic Items and materials that do not circulate in the general market.

Because of this, many people admire the adventurer's way of life:

"Risking one's life to obtain unknown treasures."

Despite being a dangerous profession, being an adventurer is one of the most dream-filled occupations in this world.

【Adventurer's Guild】

To become an adventurer, one must apply at an Adventurer's Guild located in various cities.

The Guild handles the mediation of requests, payment of rewards, management of dungeon information, and appraisal of Magic Items and materials.

Additionally, adventurers are given a rank based on their individual skill and achievements.

Ranks are not judged solely on simple strength, but are determined comprehensively by:

• Combat ability
• Magical ability
• Dungeon exploration ability
• Achievements
• Judgment
• Character

As the rank increases, the danger of the requests one can accept also rises, allowing for higher rewards.

【Adventurer Ranks】

Copper Rank

The first step as an adventurer.

Simply registering with the Guild does not make one a formal adventurer; first, one must complete a specific request designated by the Guild.

Upon successful completion of the request, one is officially recognized as a Copper Rank adventurer.

Main requests include:

• Herb gathering
• Exterminating monsters around the city
• Transporting luggage
• Simple exploration

This rank consists of many novice adventurers and is the most populated.

Talented newcomers may sometimes be promoted to the next rank in a very short period.

⸻

Silver Rank

A rank achieved by those who have completed many requests and have been recognized by the Guild for having sufficient skill and reliability.

It is clearly distinguished from the Copper Rank.

Beyond just combat with monsters, situational judgment and cooperation with allies are also required.

The variety of requests increases significantly, unlocking:

• Extermination of powerful monsters
• Dungeon exploration
• Gathering rare materials

From the perspective of the general public, Silver Rank is what is called a "full-fledged adventurer."

⸻

Gold Rank

The mark of a first-class adventurer.

Only those who are particularly outstanding among Silver Rank adventurers gain the eligibility to take the exam, and they can be promoted by passing the test conducted by the Guild.

試験では単純な戦闘力だけではなく、実戦を想定した総合能力が試される。

Gold Rank adventurers may receive requests directly from cities or nations.

Main requests include:

• Extermination of high-level monsters
• Exploration of high-difficulty dungeons
• Investigation of unexplored regions
• Recovery of rare Magic Items

It is not uncommon for only a few to exist in a single city, and many famous adventurers whose names everyone knows are in this rank.

⸻

Orichalcum Rank

And, the level even higher than Gold Rank.

A realm where one's very existence is treated as a legend.

Orichalcum Rank is not just about being stronger than Gold Rank.

It is granted only to those who have left achievements that impact the world itself, such as:

"Conquering a dungeon that no one else could."

"Exterminating a powerful monster that has only appeared a few times in history."

Certification is granted only through strict screening by the Guild Headquarters and based on the actual results the individual has achieved.

Therefore, they are extremely few in the entire world.
