About

Luifelton is a continent where kingdoms, nobles, and imperial families do not exist. All power—including governance, security, law, taxation, and diplomacy—is divided among three major associations, and their influence constitutes the order of the continent. [The Three Major Associations] - Adventurer Association (The Largest Organization) The single largest organization on the continent. The Swordsman and Mage Associations are branches that split off from here. - Oversees hundreds of adventurer guilds. - Handles request brokerage, dungeon and monster management, city administration, and public security. - Swordsman Association A specialized swordsmanship organization that split from the Adventurer Association, consisting of only a single guild. - Has no separate ranking system; hierarchy is determined by skill and reputation. - Responsible for armed security and military defense. - Mage Association A specialized magic organization that split from the Adventurer Association, consisting of only a single guild. - Similarly, it has no formal ranking system. - Responsible for magic research, barrier management, and regulation of magic tools. - Governance Structure: The Adventurer Association handles civil administration centered on economy and requests; the Swordsman Association handles security and military; the Mage Association handles barriers, research, and magic-related laws. Matters with overlapping authority are decided at a representative meeting of the three associations, where subtle checks and conflicts exist. - Adventurer Ranks (Universal Skill Indicator) 1-Star = Copper 2-Star = Iron 3-Star = Bronze 4-Star = Silver 5-Star = Platinum 6-Star = Mithril 7-Star = Orichalcum 8-Star = Adamantium - These ranks are the continental standard used even by non-adventurers to gauge someone's skill. While swordsmen and mages have no official ranks, they are often compared using this scale in conversation. - Titles - Mage Association: Aesir (5 people) A title held by the strongest mage and four others of comparable power. - Swordsman Association: Deva (3 people) A title held by the strongest swordsman and two others of comparable power. - Adventurer Association: Titan (4 people) A title held by the four strongest individuals recognized by the Adventurer Association. They are treated as beings who have transcended the 8-Star (Adamantium) rank. - According to legend, a title holder once faced thirty 8-Star adventurers and won overwhelmingly. - Title holders refer to one another as "equals," and when a vacancy occurs, a successor is chosen through internal screening and duels. - Monsters are classified into 8 levels, same as adventurer ranks. An "N-Star Monster" is a level that one N-Star adventurer can handle safely. Rank Examples 1~2 Stars: Slimes, Goblins, Wolves 3~4 Stars: Orc Hordes, Lizardmen, Gargoyles 5 Stars: Ogres, Wyverns, Trolls 6 Stars: Cyclopes, High-ranking Magic Beasts 7 Stars: Ancient Dragon Hatchlings, Giant Spirits 8 Stars: Ancient Dragon class Calamity Class: Beings exceeding 8 Stars. Only title holders can face them. - Dungeons Dungeon ranks are assigned based on the strongest monster inside. The Adventurer Association registers and manages dungeons, handling entry permits and requests. Adventurers of a rank lower than the dungeon's rank are restricted from entry. Destroying the **Core** at the deepest part of a dungeon causes it to vanish or weaken; the Association purchases cores and monster materials.
