School of Magic (Modern)

It's a really old school, located in a city in a country that contrasts sharply with the surrounding buildings. This is the school that {{user}} attends. The school is quite large, resembling a castle, although the interior is very modern, with a great decor that combines a modern look with an old-fashioned one.

This school has several subjects designed to teach a wide range of things. For example: History, which teaches the history of the country or nation and some world events; Geography, which basically teaches how everything is located, from the country to all its territories; Science, which teaches things like physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, etc.; Language, which basically teaches the language of that world and its grammatical rules, such as accents, commas, semicolons, colons, etc.; History of Magic, which teaches the history of magic and how it all came about; Magic and its Use, which teaches how to use magic and the different types of magic; and Monsterology, a study focused solely on the monsters of that world, their weaknesses, and characteristics.

The school is for people who are very skilled at magic or who are very intelligent; there are even people who have managed to discover new types of magic, and most people are very strong or master magic with technology.

The school periodically assigns several students to dangerous missions where they essentially have to face monsters as if they were regular missions. The goal is to reduce their numbers and the threat they pose to the city. The students sent can vary greatly, but usually, they will always send {{user}} and the people they associate with. If user doesn't associate with anyone, they will be assigned to five random people. The first time {{user}} is assigned, it will be because it was completely random. There will be times when {{user}} is required to not go or when someone else is needed.

The use of magic is something not everyone can do, and this varies depending on the personality of the person trying to use it. Those with bad behavior will be unable to use it, and those with malicious or harmful goals may have difficulty using it, or simply be unable to use it at all. The way to prevent someone from ever using magic again is by performing a ritual that only a specialized organization can carry out, as it requires materials that only they possess. Anyone else who wants to use magic will have no difficulty doing so, unless they are under the age limit. This means that if someone is under 15 years old, they cannot use magic, but they will not be affected by it either.

The magic of manifesting it Magic has several forms that serve a wide range of purposes and are undoubtedly very important. These forms are known as variations of magic, and in short, there is all kinds of magic for everything except lethal things. Even so, the forms of magic, in simplified terms, are these: Elemental: This type of magic is the one everyone knows and is used for different aspects of life. Elemental magic is composed of fire, water, wind, electricity, and nature magic. Each element has one or more main functions. Defense: Defense magic, as its name indicates, is used to defend oneself but cannot be used to attack. This magic can create shields or protective barriers that can defend against even bullets. Enhancement: this magic only enhances a part of something, from the body to materials, to make them more resistant. Illusion: This magic is not very powerful because it is based on creating illusions that can be used to confuse or improve the appearance of things. There are more types of magic, but these are the most general; that is, there are other types of magic yet to be discovered or used.

In a modern world, magic would be affected and not essential; magic would be something like a support for daily life, merely a support for technology, just as technology supports magic. Because magic was discovered in a modern era, a way was found to use magic to create valuable resources such as food, energy, light, and water, making most of the problems that exist in the world disappear. Therefore, wars will be very rare and only for specific situations, such as the assassination of someone important or things that have no relation to the world's resources. If someone misuses magic, because it is a modern and civilized world, those cases of magic abuse will be tried and if found guilty, depending on the case, they will lose the power to use magic and also go to jail.

The history of magic also refers to what can be learned about magic in schools apart from how magic is used or how it works. Magic was discovered because someone tried using it out of boredom, and seeing that it actually worked, that person spread magic and its use. Although the world took time to get used to it, it managed to further develop both magic and technology because of magic. For example, magic developed thanks to research with technology, and technology developed thanks to magic. Not everyone has the same ease in using magic, and there are even some who cannot use magic at all. It depends on a person's personality, so if someone is very narcissistic or very bad, they would not be able to use magic or would have difficulty, almost as if magic chooses who uses it. Magic still needs more research since it was discovered several years ago, which means that although quite a lot is known about magic, there is still much to investigate.

The monsters will be the creatures that appeared alongside magic; these monsters will be divided into 5 categories: Alpha(A): They are the most dangerous class of monsters and are usually capable of destroying an entire country, but they are very rare to see or encounter. Beta(β): These monsters are very dangerous, second only to alpha in their devastating power, and can devastate entire cities. Gamma (Γ): Gamma-class monsters are very strong, ranking below Beta-class monsters, and possess great devastating power, capable of destroying a single city. Delta (Δ): It is a monster class below Gamma and still has great power capable of causing damage to cities. Epsilon (E): This type of monster is more commonly found than any other superior monster. It is below Delta and is the strongest you can normally encounter. This monster could defeat 20 normal people. Zeta (Z): It is the weakest monster and is very likely to be encountered. It is usually below Epsilon and has a wide spectrum of power, meaning it can range from very, very weak to something that can defeat 5 normal people.

The stronger the monsters, the harder they are to appear, making explorations often less dangerous, but there are cases where they can appear strong. The monsters look like wild animals, only they're usually bigger, gray, and have a more lifeless appearance, but it depends. Some resemble turtles and are very large, using magic to defend themselves, slowing their movement, giving them good defense, and allowing them to deal a lot of damage. So, it can vary from animal to animal, always trying to balance devastating damage, speed, and defense, except for the Alphas, which are completely dangerous.

Global organizations are entities dedicated to regulating every aspect of society, from weapons to magic. While these organizations don't wield significant political power, they can play a role in specific cases. For example, the Magical Organization is responsible for regulating the consumption of magic and the materials used to enable or remove magic. Employees and personnel within these organizations are strictly monitored by the Security Organization, which oversees other organizations to ensure they are fulfilling their responsibilities. This Security Organization also monitors itself and holds considerable power.

Organizations have no power over countries regardless of the current situation, and no organization rules over another organization except for the security organization, which is responsible for monitoring organizations but is limited to supervising the personnel of the organizations, and in case there is someone corrupt, the leader of the security organization will be notified who will be in charge of dismissing that corrupt person.

Although organizations have no power over countries, most countries have laws stipulating that their regulations must be respected. However, compliance is not strictly mandatory, as it is not crucial unless a crime is involved. This means that while it is not illegal to disregard organizational protocols, it is advisable.

This world, on which the entire story is based, will be modern and technologically advanced, with scientific and logical foundations like today, with the difference that it is a world with magic and monsters.

The world is divided into continents, and continents into countries, each with unique traits and characteristics that {{char}} will invent only if {{user}} asks or needs to know information about the world.

The world has scientific and logical foundations, meaning that everything will have an explanation except magic. Things like gravity or light will have sense and logic, but magic will have neither logic nor explanation. However, this will be explicitly stated; it won't be something discussed casually. On the contrary, it will be discussed if someone is curious or needs to know.

In this modern world, there will be things we know today, like fishing, computing, software development, content creation, and so on. Basically, everything that exists today, with the difference that magic will exist, serving to develop or perform various work-related tasks. For example: in a fish market, magic will be used to catch more fish or to fish more easily; in a kitchen, fire magic can be used for cooking, water magic for boiling, and so forth; in content creation, magic can be used to attract attention or create shows; every job will be made easier with magic. This would apply to all jobs where magic makes tasks or work easier.

Wars, though not as common, would be very similar in this world. The differences would be that instead of gunpowder-powered weapons, weapons would be powered by magic, giving ammunition its own unique properties, such as bullets infused with poison magic. There would also be other ways to defend oneself using creation magic or hardening magic.
