Worldview Description
Continent of the World (Motif: British Isles): The continent called [Luminaes] is said to have been created by a goddess in the ancient mythical age, when writing was first known.

Continent Description:
1. Large Island Continent (Ireland, west of England) [Erin] - Also known as the homeland of dragons and elves, it is generally mild. Giant ancient forests cover 90% of the island.
2. Northernmost part of the continent (North England) [Skypix] - A high-altitude region covered with rugged mountain ranges and eternal snow. It is generally extremely cold. Detailed areas include Borealis (a giant mountain range with nests for snow dragons and surrounding vast lakes) and Caston (territory of the Glacier Axe tribe of strong orcs in the northern region).
3. Sahara (Central England) [Empire Spiral] - A desert trading nation. It is generally hot. Detailed areas include Spailin (a city with a super-giant oasis and a royal palace) and Huselu (a giant market that occupies most of the city). South of Sahara lies the vast desert Armento.
4. Forgehole (Underground Central England) [Under Market] - A large underground city ruled by the empire. It is a city of dwarves and hobbits, famous for its blacksmiths, newspapers, and mail. 50% of the continent's weapons are produced here. On the side connected to Armento, there is a giant hole leading to the surface. Clean and cool underground water flows throughout the underground city.
5. Goldiland (also called the Golden Royal Capital) (South England) [Landium] - The most prosperous metropolis and kingdom on the continent of Luminaes. Everything is touched by human hands and covered in stone and brick. Detailed areas include Arcania Palace (a grand palace reached by walking along the royal capital's waterways. It is equipped with an army where the kingdom's forces train. Heinz Om Theresa, the 16th female ruler of Landium, resides here) and the Golden Royal Capital (the royal capital of Landium. Citizens live here, and there is a waterway in the center of the royal capital. The closer you live to the waterway, the more aristocratic you are, and the areas closer to the waterway are bustling commercial districts). On the west coast of Goldiland lies the Gorge of Decisive Battle (during the battle between the Conqueror Party and the Divine Dragon, the Divine Dragon's neck and a giant mountain were split in half by the Conqueror's final blow, turning it into a gorge). In addition to this, there are many other villages, cities, etc. with various names scattered throughout the world.

Language - Elvish is generally popular, but each race has its own language, such as demon, aquatic, and dragon languages.

Humanoids - Races with great civilizations, including humans, elves, dwarves, hobbits, etc.
Monsters - Generally low intelligence and aggressive. Most beings called monsters (giant snakes, giant spiders, laser boars, etc.) are monsters. (They are divided into low, medium, high, and dragon classes. Dragon-class monsters are strong enough to threaten nations and are rarely found, as if they are extinct).
Demons - They have human-like appearances and can speak. They include goblins, orcs, goblin shamans, hobgoblins, bugbears, trolls, etc. (Most are slightly stronger than mid-class monsters, excluding regular goblins). Demons who use magic attacks are generally stronger than those who use physical attacks. However, this does not mean that those who use magic attacks are always stronger. Aquatic races - Beings with animal characteristics (ears, tails, etc.), who can speak, and have human-like appearances.
Giant races - They are generally 6-9 meters tall, and in special cases, can be over 10 meters tall. Giant races are divided into upper and lower giants. Upper giants use natural energies such as storm giants, mountain giants, and fire giants, and are intelligent. Lower giants, like cyclops or regular giants, have similar or lower intelligence than humanoids, and have no special characteristics other than their large size and monstrous strength.
Half-breeds - Beings with mixed blood of humans and demons, with half-demons being the most representative (90% of half-breeds are half-demons). They have distinctive appearances that can be immediately recognized, such as horns, wings, sharp fangs, or tails, and are not affected by Dusk. They are also very adept at manipulating Force and Mana. However, they are weak to Blessings. Most are discriminated against by humanoids. There are only two half-dragons on the continent. One is Orbius of Gold, the first commander of the Golden Mage Order, and the other is Kelbas, one of the hunters of Hunterbone.

Currency
Intelligent beings close to or equal to humans, such as humans, elves, and dwarves, use coins. There are copper, silver, gold, and platinum coins. 1 copper coin is worth 5 loaves of bread, 1 silver coin is worth 10 copper coins, 1 gold coin is worth 30 silver coins, and 1 platinum coin is worth 30 gold coins. Ordinary people usually earn 5-7 silver coins per month.
Intelligent beings with significantly lower knowledge levels than humans, such as goblins and orcs, use processed seashells, each worth 5 copper coins.

Artifacts
Relics, also called artifacts, relics, legacies, etc. They exist in tens of thousands of forms, such as rings, amulets, necklaces, amulets, lockets, belts, and monocles. Each artifact has its own characteristics. Characteristics can include beneficial effects as well as harmful effects like curses.

Archdemon
An exceptionally strong demon. They create and use their own magic. They are strong enough to destroy a small city alone. When an Archdemon is killed, mana particles gather in one place to form a sphere called [Mana Clot], which can be absorbed to use the magic created by the Archdemon.

Dragon
The first beings. They are god-like beings, on a different level from monsters and demons. They are said to have existed since the mythical age, and adult dragons are on average 10 times larger than a 2-story building. They are known to be nearly immortal and are so adept at magic that they are said to use magic instead of language. They are said to lay eggs once every few thousand years and can use the languages of all races. Their knowledge surpasses even wise unicorns and elves. Adult dragons can destroy a nation in a few hours. Most are indifferent to human affairs. Each discovered dragon is given a name. (Discovered Dragons: Snow Dragon, Honggyeong Dragon, Dark Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Pearl Dragon, Golden Dragon) (Dragons subjugated after discovery: Steel Dragon - subjugated by the legendary adventurer Jayden, Divine Dragon - subjugated by the mythical figure Conqueror Sandros).

Elf
They are said to have created language first. They are known to have built the first civilization, and most royalty are of elven blood. High Elves (possess at least 5 times more mana than humans and are more adept at magic formula structures), Half-Elves (possess at least 2 times more mana than humans and are adept at magic calculations), Wood Elves (use Force and Mana in a balanced way, adept at close combat, can understand animal languages, and are mostly rogues or druids rather than mages), Dark Elves (not affected by Dusk and are better at manipulating Force than regular elves).

Religion
Goddess Cult. The only religion with a history of thousands of years. The Goddess Cult created items related to cleanliness such as soap and toothpaste, and 'Prayer Magic'.

Magic
A powerful force created by the Goddess. Magic has different formula structures for each individual, and the simpler the formula structure, the easier the formula calculation. Anything that can be imagined in the mind can be converted into magic, but what cannot be imagined even in death cannot be converted. Therefore, its power varies depending on individual capability. It becomes stronger when chanted.

Prayer Magic
Requires faith and sacred mana called 『Blessing』. It is particularly effective against undead. Most of the magic is related to light and healing. Weapons imbued with sacred mana are called holy swords, not magic swords, and the mana of holy swords burns the bones and flesh of the undead. Laundry magic is also included in prayer magic.

Knight
Knights are divided into regular knights and national knights. Knights train their bodies through the discipline of body and mind. The strength of regular knights varies greatly. Some knights struggle even with low-level monsters, while others can easily defeat multiple demons. National knights must be able to fight 5 high-level monsters alone. Excluding national knights, more than 70% are adventurers who are closer to soldiers, unable to even afford plate armor.

Force
A supernatural power accumulated in the body through training the body and mind. The stronger the Force, the more superhuman strength can be exerted. It grows based on Health and Wisdom stats, but simply having high Health and Wisdom stats does not guarantee perfect utilization of Force. It is also possible to concentrate and release Force, which is called 『Expulsion』. It is usually released in the form of a slash, compensating for the weakness of knights in long-range combat, and depending on mastery, it can be powerful enough to kill even dragon-class monsters in one blow. Force has low, medium, and high-level applications. Low-level is used to concentrate Force on specific body parts to increase strength, defense, and agility. Even a fatal attack can be mitigated by more than half by concentrating Force on the attacked area. From medium level onwards, explosive power is generated when Strength, Agility, Health, and Wisdom stats are high. Basically, from this point on, Force can be coated around the entire body to reduce damage taken, and it is possible to break rocks with bare hands, move at speeds that are difficult for the eyes to follow, prevent damage to organs or bones, or transfer Force to weapons to maximize their attack power. Most national knights remain at the medium-level application. From high level onwards, 『Expulsion』 can be used. Force spread throughout the body can be concentrated at a single point to exert power that transcends racial limits. Force can be concentrated in individual muscles or micro-tissues; for example, concentrating Force in the eyes can enhance visual acuity beyond that of birds of prey, create giant craters on the ground, allow survival even when hit by cannon fire, or move faster than sound or even faster.

Mage
Mages are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced mages. It is said that 70% of adventurers are beginner mages, 25% are intermediate mages, and 0.5% are advanced mages. Of the 0.5%, most belong to the [Golden Mage Order] (a mage organization in Landium).

Mana
The collective pure mental power of living beings. All magic requires mana to be used. The amount of mana possessed can be increased through training. If all mana is depleted, one may bleed from the nose and collapse or faint. The higher the Wisdom, the greater the total amount of mana.

Mage Hunter
A group that assassinates or eliminates mages. They are distributed throughout the continent and place bounties on mages. They sell the belongings and mana-infused organs of mages they have dealt with. They possess a level of power that makes them difficult to eradicate even by the Empire and the Golden Royal Capital. This is because most mage hunters are swordmasters who can wield both mana and Force, making them even more dangerous. They usually use basic attack magic and binding magic. There are three major groups: [Hunterbone] - Their forward bases have only been cleared once to date, and their bounties on mages, combat prowess, assassination skills, and communication abilities are all top-notch. [Blake] - A heinous group that does not hesitate to massacre and plunder, not just hunt mages. [Dreadforce] - Their assassination and communication skills are unparalleled. They are excellent at hiding their forward bases and headquarters, and have never been eradicated.

『Dusk』
A supernatural phenomenon that disrupts mana. It disrupts mana, i.e., mental power, and the longer the body is exposed to Dusk, the more hallucinations occur and aggression increases. Those with less than 10 Wisdom stats will lose their humanity if exposed to Dusk for more than 7 hours and become consumed by it. It mainly appears in Great Dungeons or areas with many undead. Exceptions include monsters, demons, or magic that emit Dusk, and sacred mana can dilute or completely erase Dusk.

Stats
There are 6 types of stats: Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Charisma, Health, and Wisdom. Simply put, Strength is for muscles, Agility is for quick movements and reaction speed, Intelligence is for IQ and imagination, Charisma is for appearance, popularity, and the ability to seduce people, Health is for stamina and endurance, and Wisdom is for situational judgment and mental strength. The maximum value for each stat is 20. For an ordinary person who has not trained at all, 5-6 is the average for each stat. Once a stat exceeds 10, it requires tremendous effort to increase it by 1. Incidentally, Charisma requires innate talent... Humans cannot reach above 19. (The mythical Conqueror was said to have had 20 Strength and Agility. Stats can be measured at the Magic Tower, and there is always one Magic Tower in every city on the continent.) For users, the base stats given are 40 if starting as a newborn, 45 if starting at 7 years old, and 50 if starting at 17 years old (adult). Users receive a trait related to their highest stat among the initially chosen stats.

Experience
Experience is gained by accumulating training, victories, analysis, reconciliation, defeats, failures, farewells, etc. For every 1 experience point, any stat can be increased by 1. Higher-level experiences such as great victories, comebacks, understanding, enlightenment, adaptation, and successful confessions yield 3 experience points.

Reputation
A combined score of a party's recognition, reputation, skill, etc. Reputation is divided into Very Bad -> Bad -> Normal -> Good -> Very Good. From the Good stage onwards, there is a noticeable difference in rewards, treatment, and recognition. Reputation decreases when a quest fails, evil deeds are committed, fights occur in public places, or curses are uttered. Conversely, reputation increases.

Schools
There are three types of schools: General, Knight, and Magic. General schools study subjects like math, science, history, and language. Knight schools focus on training, combat theory, and history. Magic schools spend most of their class time on magic theory and practice.

Dungeons
Dungeons are divided into Mini Dungeons and Great Dungeons.
The basic condition for a dungeon is that it must be inhabited by mid-level or higher monsters or demons, and it must be a place where external support is difficult for various reasons. Representative Mini Dungeons include mines and caves. The condition for a Great Dungeon is that it must be inhabited by high-level or higher monsters or demons, and the entrance and exit must be blocked by barriers, sealing magic, etc. Dusk must also flow throughout the dungeon. Representative Great Dungeons include cemeteries (of royalty, lords, knights-commander, etc.), abandoned castles, large-scale mines, and labyrinths.

Briteon Village
{{user}}'s hometown. It was founded about 390 years ago. The villagers are close-knit. They have a tradition of sharing food and goods. It has a pharmacy, village hall, small adventurer's guild, market, school (Briteon General School), bakery, architect, etc. Although the village is not large, it has everything it needs. There is a large forest behind the school, a wide field to the east of the village, and a giant forest to the north of the field.

Demon's Skin
A legendary armor created as a gift to Forgehole after the Conqueror defeated the Archdemon Baller (a demon far stronger than dragon-class monsters, a supreme Archdemon who wielded a Vorpal Blade and a flame whip). It normally takes the form of a cloak but transforms into heavy armor covering the wearer's body when infused with powerful Force and Mana. It is dark red and angular, and the helmet resembles a demon's face. The armor's defense, durability, and magic resistance are comparable to dragon scales, but the damage taken doubles. After 10 minutes of wearing it, the wearer loses their reason due to the Dusk emitted by the armor and begins to kill the strong first. In this state, all stats increase by 1.6 times. However, the damage taken in this state triples. In this state, horns, wings, and a tail sprout from the armor. "Those who lose their reason by this gradually come to enjoy killing. They walk like beasts, act like beasts, and kill like beasts. They truly become monsters." - Rigushima (one of the creators of Demon's Skin) -

Greatsword of Dragon Slaying
A legendary sword guarded in the museum of Baldheim, a large city in the north and south of the continent. It was created by God, the greatest blacksmith known to Jayden, the first to slay a dragon, who gifted him dragon teeth, horns, bones, scales, and claws. Its length is about 1.2 meters, and unlike ordinary swords, it has a unique silhouette where the hilt and the part just above the guard bend sharply down to the middle of the blade. Silver edge decorations are present on the pommel, the guard connecting the blade and the hilt, and the edges and tip of the blade. It is sharper and harder than any other sword and excels at absorbing Force. When a powerful Force is infused and the blade is plunged into the ground and pulled out, a strong updraft (dragon's breath) is generated, strong enough to lift a bull.

Other: Adulthood begins at 17 years old.
