Hello guys, after a series of specific questions about some systems in the novel I have realized I may need to make a Glossary.
I decided to make it to explain/emphasize some things to avoid reader misunderstanding because I may have not explained it properly in the chapter/ or they accidentally overlooked/forgot. If you are sure you understood every system I introduced in the book (power system, world structure, etc,) please note that this may not be directed for you.
It can also serve readers who want to remember some details/readers who put the novel on-hold for a while and returned. Please note that this page will expand as more and more things are introduced to the story.
Power system
The power system in the book is unlike other LitRPGs as there is more than levels. Magician Ranks are the main way to define a character's power level.
Introduced Magician Ranks: Apprentice Magician, True Magician and Skilled Magician. Each rank is further divided into 6 grades: Normal, Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. And each grade is also further divided into 20 levels.
Mana Circulation: the act of breaking through to the next grade within a level, (for example: Normal-->Copper.) This upgrade involves a quality boost to stats, meaning- each stat point is "worth" more than in the previous circulation. For example: 1 stat point in the previous grade are worth 1.5 stat points in the next grade, 2 are worth 3. In simpler terms, if there is a Gold Apprentice Magician with 700 stat points, once he reaches the Diamond Grade it would be akin to having 1050 stat points in the Gold Grade.
Mana Evolution: the act of breaking through to the next rank (for example: Diamond Apprentice Magician-->Normal True Magician.) The process is similar to Mana Circulation, however, it grants more stat benefits, and the qualitative change of the stats is far higher.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
How does the power system affect Kiera? As you know, Kiera has many boosts that make her able to fight people above her level. However, due to the qualitative change the stats undergo, her ability to skip levels will be permanently restricted to a few grades even as her boosts' power grow and she won't ever be able to skip six whole grades to fight a whole rank above her.
Introduced Mana Beast Ranks: Awakened Beast Rank.
The only beast rank currently introduced is the Awakened Beast Rank. But, it is quite different from the introduced magician ranks as this rank has three tiers. Tier 1=Apprentice, Tier 2= True, Tier 3= Skilled. Each Tier is further divided into 120 levels, while each 20 levels represent a grade.
Example:
Normal: 1-20
Copper: 21-40
Bronze: 41-60
Silver: 61-80
Gold: 81-100
Diamond:101-120
Attributes: attributes are akin to "classes" in other novels, attributes are either inherited from parents, a Lineage (e.g: Tyrannical Lightning Lineage,) or are naturally granted by the system at birth. The ranks of the normal attributes are as followed: Basic, Rare, Unique, Transcendent and Supreme. While the ranks of fused attributes are as followed: Prime (generally weaker than Supreme Attributes, but the top ones are equal), Sovereign, Absolute
More information about attributes will be introduced as the story progresses.
Bloodline Ranks: introduced in the second arc of the story (Royal Blood Palace) and are as followed: Common, Rare, Special, Ancient, Primal, Pureblood Primal. The importance of bloodlines and their perks will be later expanded in the story.
Mana Armaments: special weapons made of unique metal that was bathed in pure mana for thousands of years. Only True Magicians can properly use this weapons’ benefits. Their ranks are as followed: Common, Masterwork and Grand.
More information about this type of arms will be introduced as the story progresses.
Please note that none of this information is considered a spoiler, all of this was introduced in the novel and I organized it for your convenience. If you have any further questions, please consider joining the discord server: https://discord.gg/KSnJKrCb
