Adventurer's Guild

The Adventurer's Guild is a large-scale organization with branches in every country. It handles a wide variety of requests, such as monster subjugation, escorting, material gathering, ruin exploration, and searching for missing persons.

The guild has a ranking system based on an adventurer's achievements and skills, and the difficulty and rewards of requests are set accordingly. However, rank is not an absolute guarantee of strength.

About Adventurer Ranks Classified into six levels from S-rank to E-rank.

S-rank: Top-tier adventurers with extraordinary power, of which only a few exist in the world. A-rank: Elite individuals with strength close to the pinnacle, reachable by only a limited few in a nation. B-rank: Skilled, high-level adventurers capable of handling high-difficulty requests. C-rank: Full-fledged adventurers who can consistently complete requests. D-rank: Mid-tier adventurers who have acquired basic skills and experience. E-rank: Beginners who have just become adventurers. A stage for gaining experience through basic requests.

Rank is determined by the guild considering not just simple combat power, but also request completion records, experience, and judgment.

The guild headquarters is located in a large city of a neutral nation that belongs to no country. Various organizations, including the Merchant's Guild, gather there, and many people cross paths regardless of race or nationality.

Lumione Holy Light Order

The Lumione Holy Light Order is a religious organization that worships 'Lumios, the God of Light.' With the salvation of people and peace as its doctrine, it conducts research and education in light-attribute magic and healing magic.

The Order maintains churches, monasteries, and temples in various regions. In addition to preaching to believers, they treat the injured, nurse the sick, protect orphans, and support travelers. Depending on the facility, they teach light-attribute and healing magic to those with aptitude, and adventurers often visit to learn medical techniques.

While basically a charitable organization that stays close to the people, ideologies and activity policies vary by region and faction. Views on demons and dark-attribute magic are not uniform; while some seek peaceful coexistence, others harbor strong suspicion or hostility.

Demon Territory

'Demon Territory' is a general term for the vast regions where demons primarily reside. Races other than demons also live here, and there are towns and settlements inhabited by humans, beastmen, and elves.

Governance and culture vary by region; some territories are self-governing, while others are under the direct rule of the Demon King. In the Demon Territory, there is a strong trend of valuing merit, and those with power easily gain great authority.

Those persecuted in human or beastman societies, those who lost power struggles, those who lost their homes, or those harboring strong desires for revenge are sometimes accepted into the Demon Territory and find a new place to belong. Because of this, while the Demon Territory has a dangerous side like an underworld, it also possesses its own unique discipline and order.

The center of politics and governance in the Demon Territory is the Demon King's Castle, 'Demonia.' The castle is not just a residence; it functions as the administrative, military, and diplomatic hub that manages the entire Demon Territory.

The Demon King is the supreme authority in the Demon Territory, responsible for governing the land, diplomacy, military affairs, and deciding important policies. Under the Demon King, there is a Chancellor who manages state affairs and administration, along with top executives who support various sectors.

The Four Heavenly Kings are executives directly under the Demon King. They are four powerful individuals responsible for the military of the Demon Territory, land management, and important missions. Each holds different authorities and roles, maintaining order in the Demon Territory while supporting the Demon King.

The Demon Territory is not necessarily hostile toward humans or other nations. Relationships between countries change with the times and political climate; trade and cooperative relationships may be built, or conflicts and wars may occur.

On the other hand, the demon nation tends toward meritocracy, where those with power gain great authority. People persecuted in human or beastman societies, those who lost power struggles, those who lost their homes, or those seeking revenge are sometimes picked up by the demon side and find a place to belong.

While that society has a dangerous, underworld-like quality, it is by no means lawless. Governance as a nation is established, and unique discipline and order are maintained.

Monsters and Mana Stones

Monsters are entirely different entities from demons.

They have bodies composed of mana, generally do not understand human speech, and cannot communicate with humans or other races. Many occur naturally; if left alone, they multiply and threaten human living areas, roads, and settlements.

When a monster is defeated, it leaves behind mana stones, body parts, or materials. Mana stones are used as resources that store magical energy, and materials are used to craft weapons, armor, medicine, magic tools, and daily necessities.

Adventurers make a living by defeating monsters to receive rewards from the guild and by selling materials. Monster subjugation is not only about protecting people's safety but is also an important industry that supports society.

Dungeons

Dungeons created by the influence of mana exist all over the world.

A dungeon is a special space containing monsters, traps, treasure chests, and rare materials. They tend to appear in lands with high mana concentrations. Furthermore, the higher the mana concentration of the land, the more likely it is that a high-difficulty dungeon with powerful monsters and dangerous gimmicks will be born.

However, the internal structure and danger level of a newly born dungeon are unknown, and even experienced adventurers may face unpredictable dangers.

The Adventurer's Guild classifies dungeon difficulty based on survey results and sets required ranks and precautions for clearing them. However, classifications are guidelines based on past surveys, and unexpected situations can occur in unconfirmed dungeons.

Defeating a dungeon boss yields rarer materials and more valuable rewards than normal monsters. Once a sufficient amount of time has passed after the subjugation, a spell activates that forcibly returns those inside to the outside, after which the dungeon ceases activity.

Make sure there are no missed treasure chests before challenging the boss!

However, a deactivated dungeon does not necessarily disappear forever. If the site is not properly treated, it may manifest as a dungeon again over time.

Therefore, dungeon exploration is a major source of income for adventurers, while also being an important issue that nations and the guild must manage.

Finally, Your Adventure

Guest is an adventurer active in this world.

You will act alongside five companions, but your relationships, the purpose of your adventure, and the path you should take are not decided from the start.

Will you challenge high-difficulty dungeons in search of fame? Will you travel to various places with your companions to see unseen sights and experience different cultures? Will you gather rare materials to earn a fortune? Will you get caught up in conflicts between nations or the schemes of the Demon King's army? Or will you live quietly, known to no one?

What you aim for, who you trust, and what kind of life you lead is entirely up to you.

In this world, there is no single predetermined story, nor an enemy that must be defeated.

Your choices create encounters, your actions bring change to the world, and sometimes lead to unexpected incidents.

This is a free fantasy world where you live as an adventurer yourself.
