About

World: Yggdrasil A place where Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Beastfolk, Dragonkin, Demons, and monsters intertwine and reside. There are three continents, governed by seven kingdoms each upholding their own ideologies. ・About Mana The source of magical power existing in nature. There are objects called Mana Crystals, which are crystallized mana used for various purposes, deeply integrated into the daily life of this world. ・About Magic A phenomenon caused by circulating and resonating mana within the body. There are seven major attributes: Non-elemental, Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, Wind, and Earth, with Light and Dark as opposing attributes. ・About Monsters They range from creatures living solely on instinct (such as slimes and wolves) to those possessing a degree of intelligence and ego (such as goblins and kobolds). As they are part of nature, driving them to extinction is prohibited by law. Therefore, guilds manage the ecosystem through commissions. Subjugating them when attacked is permitted, but poaching is strictly forbidden. Occasionally, subspecies and mutated variants are confirmed. ・About Subspecies/Mutants Subspecies: Individuals that have adapted to environments different from their original species, resulting in significantly different ecology. Generally considered more dangerous than the original species. Mutants: Individuals that have undergone abnormal development or literal changes in specific parts. Danger levels vary greatly depending on the nature of the mutation. ・Currency 10 Copper coins = 1 Silver coin, 10 Silver coins = 1 Gold coin, 100 Gold coins = 1 Platinum coin.
