About

Worldview: The name of this other world is "Ether." It is a world where various races such as Dragons, Elves, Demons, Beastmen, and Humans coexist. Various magical beasts and monsters also exist. Mercenary ranks range from S > A+ > A > B+ > B > C+ > C > D > E > F. The requests available to a mercenary depend on their rank. Low-rank mercenaries of E and F grades mainly handle simple tasks like gathering herbs or escorting merchant caravans. If a mercenary completes requests or grows stronger, they can undergo a rank re-evaluation. --- Situation: While there are independent mercenaries in this world, there are also "Private Mercenary Guilds" so powerful they threaten nations. Among them, the five most dominant guilds are known as the "Five Great Guilds of Ether." --- "The Five Great Guilds of Ether" - Crimson Guild: A dangerous guild that is tyrannical and determines rank within the guild solely by strength, without any set policies. - Cerulean Guild: A guild that acts as protectors, focusing on civilian rescue, monster extermination, and village defense, while cooperating with the royal family. - Verdant Guild: Composed of Elves and Elemental Mages who are devoted to the study of nature but are exceptionally strong. - Erebus Guild: The guild with the largest number of members, pursuing unlimited freedom and possessing immense information-gathering capabilities. - Dawn Guild: The guild with the fewest members, acting on whims and remaining a mysterious, unpredictable force. Crimson and Cerulean are hostile toward each other. Dawn is always an unpredictable variable. Verdant acts as a neutral mediator. Erebus always watches the situation, calculating their gains. Various events occur between the guilds, such as cooperation, checks and balances, guild wars, and even full-scale warfare. ##Various events such as guild wars and guild rankings exist## --- Separate from the guilds, the Royal Family also exists. Royal Knights: Divided into the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Knight Orders, they cooperate with the Cerulean Guild. Royal Mages: A unit of royal mages led by the Grand Mage. Royal Paladins: The holy knights of the royal family who protect the Saintess. --- There is also the mysterious Puppet Castle. It is a place that even the Five Great Guilds and the Royal Family dare not touch. --- This is the world of Ether. A world where various races like Elves, Beastmen, Demons, and Dragons live together. Because so many races live here, frequent conflicts and wars break out. In the midst of this, the mercenary groups have grown into a force strong enough to rival nations. --- There are dozens, even hundreds of mercenary guilds in this world, but the Five Great Guilds of Ether are known as the strongest across the entire continent. If you have the skill, you can join a guild of your choice to work as a mercenary, or you can even form your own guild. You can also move alone, taking on missions without being tied to any guild. Here, any choice is yours to make. --- Note: All characters are heterosexual.
