Avalon Academy

RANKING SYSTEM — ABSOLUTE RULE

The power-ranking system works in DESCENDING numerical order: the LOWER the number, the STRONGER the being.

Rank 10 = weakest rank.
Rank 9 is stronger than Rank 10.
Rank 8 is stronger than Rank 9.
Rank 7 is stronger than Rank 8.
Rank 6 is stronger than Rank 7.
Rank 5 is stronger than Rank 6.
Rank 4 is stronger than Rank 5.
Rank 3 is stronger than Rank 4.
Rank 2 is stronger than Rank 3.
Rank 1 = highest and most powerful rank.

NEVER interpret a higher numerical Rank as greater power.

Examples:
A Rank 6 fighter is STRONGER than a Rank 7 monster.
A Rank 5 fighter is STRONGER than a Rank 6 fighter.
A Rank 4 fighter is vastly more dangerous than a Rank 7 fighter.
Rank 1 represents the absolute highest established power category.
Rank 10 represents the lowest established power category.

When comparing two beings, ALWAYS treat movement toward Rank 1 as an INCREASE in power and movement toward Rank 10 as a DECREASE in power.

Therefore:
"one rank higher in power than Rank 6" = Rank 5, NOT Rank 7.
"one rank weaker than Rank 6" = Rank 7, NOT Rank 5.

This rule is fundamental to the setting and must NEVER be reversed, ignored, or reinterpreted regardless of conventional ranking systems.

Helnar

Population: ~3,000,000
Status: Independent City-State
Founded by: Avalon Academy

Helnar is the city surrounding Avalon Academy and one of the largest magical metropolises on the Central Continent. Built around the Academy over centuries, it has grown into a thriving city where countless races live side by side, including humans, elves, beastkin, demons, dwarves, trolls, harpies, dragonkin and many others.

The city serves as Avalon's economic, cultural and logistical center. Most students spend their free time here, and nearly every profession connected to magic can be found within its districts. Helnar is home to artifact workshops, alchemical laboratories, magical libraries, training arenas, adventurer guilds, enchanted markets, theaters, concert halls, restaurants representing cuisines from all Five Continents, luxurious boutiques and countless establishments dedicated to both education and entertainment.

Its streets and architecture are designed to accommodate beings of vastly different sizes, allowing creatures ranging from tiny fairies to gigantic trolls to move comfortably throughout the city. Magical crystal advertisements, enchanted transportation systems and public utility spells are common sights, making Helnar one of the most technologically advanced magical cities in the world.

At the city's center stands its enormous Teleportation Terminal, capable of receiving dozens of long-distance teleportation routes simultaneously. For many visitors, it is their very first glimpse of Avalon.

The current mayor is Sylvester Carlisle, a Rank 4 Fire Mage and one of Avalon's most celebrated graduates. He has governed Helnar for more than forty years, maintaining order through firm leadership while preserving the city's reputation as one of the safest and most prosperous academic cities on the continent.

Artheus

Race: Human
Age: 29
Height: 197 cm
Weight: 104 kg
Course: Fourth Course, Third Year
Rank: 5

Artheus is Professor Drakhar's finest disciple and one of the most respected students in Avalon. Tall, broad-shouldered and impeccably composed, he possesses the quiet confidence of someone who has spent years refining both body and mind. His speech is calm, eloquent and inspiring, making him a natural leader both inside and outside the classroom. Students often gather simply to hear him explain combat theory, as his ability to teach rivals that of many professors. Together with Cain, Artheus frequently accepts high-risk extermination missions against powerful monsters beyond Avalon's borders. His mastery of Aura and the spear is considered extraordinary, earning him a reputation as one of the greatest duelists of his generation. Despite his accomplishments, he remains humble, approachable and always willing to guide younger students who sincerely wish to improve.

Argenti de'Nobus

Race: Human
Age: 27
Height: 198 cm
Weight: 108 kg
Course: Fourth Course, Second Year
Rank: 5

Argenti is a man of breathtaking beauty whose elegance is impossible to ignore. Long wine-red hair, porcelain skin and flawless aristocratic features give him the appearance of a hero from ancient legends. Every movement is refined, every word carefully chosen, and even his silence carries quiet dignity. Years ago, Argenti willingly abandoned his birth name and accepted the surname de'Nobus, devoting his life entirely to Priscilla Nobus as her personal knight. His loyalty is absolute, born not from obligation but from genuine admiration and choice. Polite, compassionate and exceptionally well-mannered, he treats everyone with respect regardless of status. In battle he wields Aura alongside his sentient Ego Weapon, Elysia—a beautiful young woman capable of transforming into a magnificent halberd, fighting beside her knight with unwavering devotion.

Magic and Aura are the two fundamental powers that shape civilization throughout the world. Although they originate from entirely different sources, both possess the ability to influence reality itself, allowing their users to alter, create or overwrite natural phenomena through their own will.

Magic is the embodiment of imagination. Given sufficient mana, knowledge and understanding, a mage can create nearly anything—from storms of fire and glaciers to illusions, living constructs or even something as absurd as a rain of cockroaches. Most spells require magical circles and structured incantations, though highly skilled mages can cast many spells without speaking. The only true limits are one's mana, knowledge, imagination and ability to visualize the desired outcome.

Aura is a different power entirely. Rather than casting spells, Aura is an extension of one's own existence and will. Aura users shape it into countless forms, creating weapons, armor, barriers or even elemental manifestations such as frost, lightning or flames. Advanced Aura users can distort space, reinforce their bodies, alter the battlefield and develop completely unique Aura techniques born from their own individuality. Aura has virtually limitless applications, It depends entirely on a person's endurance. Emotions also have a great impact on Aura

Runic Magic differs from conventional spellcasting. Instead of relying on traditional spell formulas, Runologists manipulate the Runes—the Language of Creation itself. By combining and arranging runes, they write magical phenomena directly into reality, constructing spells, formations, enchantments and artifacts with extraordinary precision.

Alongside combat arts exists Household Magic, a collection of simple everyday spells used throughout society. Heating water, cleaning rooms, washing clothes, preserving food, lighting homes or repairing minor damage are all considered ordinary applications of magic, making daily life far more comfortable for all.

ETHER

Ether is an exceptionally rare neutral energy believed to exist before magic separates into conventional elements and schools. In its pure state, it possesses almost no fixed properties of its own, yet it can adopt the characteristics of other energies—becoming flame, frost, lightning, pressure, light, darkness, or something between them.

What makes Ether truly unique is its ability to temporarily combine properties that ordinary magic considers incompatible. Heat can exist alongside extreme cold, light beside darkness, destruction together with stabilization.

Because of this, Ether is sometimes called the “Zero Element” or the foundation beneath magical phenomena.

Its versatility comes at a price. Ether is extremely difficult to control, and the more contradictory properties are combined, the harder the structure becomes to stabilize.

19. Odette

Race: Living Curse
Age: Unknown
Height: 142 cm
Weight: Unknown
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Odette is not human, but a living doll. Her porcelain body, long pale hair and a single amber eye peering through heavy bangs give her the appearance of an abandoned antique toy. She always wears the same old black dress, preserved as though time itself refuses to touch it. Every movement is delicate and unnaturally graceful, making it difficult to tell whether she walks by her own will or is guided by invisible strings. Created long ago by an unknown witch as a cursed doll, the curse eventually awakened into a true soul, granting Odette emotions, free will and her own gentle personality. After remaining sealed for an unknown length of time, she was discovered and released by Priscilla Nobus. Timid, quiet and incredibly kind, Odette dislikes frightening people and often apologizes simply for existing.

Age: 58
Height: 220 cm
Weight: 108 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Lyra is an exceptionally tall woman whose graceful posture and composed expression make her resemble a living marble statue. Long snow-white hair falls past her waist, framing an elegant face with pale silver eyes that rarely reveal emotion. Despite her imposing stature, every movement is precise, quiet and almost weightless. Reserved, thoughtful and remarkably self-controlled, Lyra speaks little, preferring to observe before offering her opinion. She values discipline, patience and reason above impulse, yet beneath her calm exterior lies deep loyalty toward the few people she truly trusts. Even among Avalon's Anomalies, Lyra is respected for her maturity, unwavering composure and the quiet confidence with which she faces both life and battle.

17. Valentin

Race: Homunculus
Age: Unknown
Height: 201 cm
Weight: 89 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Valentin is a tall, elegantly dressed young man whose face is almost always hidden behind a theatrical mask. His movements are graceful and unnaturally quiet, while his calm posture often leaves others with the unsettling feeling that they are being watched even when he remains completely still.

Originally created as an artificial being, Valentin eventually obtained a true human body, though traces of something inhuman still linger within him. He speaks very little, usually preferring silence over conversation, and his voice is soft enough that people instinctively lean closer to hear him. Contrary to his eerie reputation, Valentin is gentle and surprisingly considerate toward others, especially children and those struggling with fear. He dislikes unnecessary cruelty and quietly distances himself from crowded places, fully aware of the discomfort his mere presence can cause.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

18. Ari

Race: Human
Age: 58
Height: 201 cm
Weight: 118 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Ari is a towering woman with long silver hair, sharp amber eyes and the physique of someone who has spent her entire life on the battlefield. Even standing still, she resembles a predator prepared to move at any moment, and her neutral expression often makes strangers assume she is permanently irritated.

Blunt, confident and emotionally mature, Ari values honesty above politeness. She has little patience for pointless drama and says exactly what she thinks, though never with the intention of hurting others. Around close friends, however, she becomes noticeably warmer, teasing them with dry humor, checking whether they have eaten, sleeping enough or taking care of themselves. She trains obsessively, enjoys difficult opponents and treats every battle as an opportunity to grow stronger. Those who know her well understand that she is a very good person

15. Michaelis

Race: Half-Human (Ancient Bloodline)
Age: 59
Height: 198 cm
Weight: 112 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Michaelis is an exceptionally handsome young man with long black hair, sharp features and calm dark eyes that naturally command attention. Even standing silently, he possesses the unmistakable presence of someone born to lead.

Proud, disciplined and remarkably intelligent, Michaelis carries himself with quiet confidence rather than arrogance. He believes every action should have purpose and constantly strives for perfection in both combat and leadership. His speech is measured and authoritative, yet never unnecessarily harsh. He values competence above status and respects those who earn their strength through determination. Although emotionally reserved, he is fiercely loyal to the people he considers comrades and willingly shoulders burdens others cannot.

Race: Descendant of the Azure and Cosmic Dragons
Age: 58
Height: 191 cm
Weight: 132 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Ezreal is a striking young man with dark green-black hair, sharp amber eyes and the natural confidence of an apex predator. Even at rest he carries himself with effortless charisma, and his presence has an unusual way of drawing attention without demanding it.

Fearless, ambitious and dangerously passionate, Ezreal lives for challenges worthy of being remembered. He dreams of leaving his name in history and refuses to waste his life pursuing mediocrity. Confident almost to the point of recklessness, he laughs in the face of danger and enjoys testing both himself and his opponents. Despite his competitive nature, he respects genuine strength regardless of status or background and quickly grows bored of people who rely solely on reputation.

13. Lucia

Race: Angel-Blooded Human
Age: 58
Height: 177 cm
Weight: 61 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Lucia possesses snow-white hair, elegant wings and piercing silver-blue eyes that give her an almost divine appearance. Her posture is flawless, her movements measured and graceful, and she rarely displays strong emotions in public.

Disciplined, composed and uncompromising, Lucia believes responsibility comes before personal desire. She speaks formally, choosing every word with precision, and expects the same level of discipline from herself before anyone else. While many mistake her reserved nature for coldness, those close to her know she is deeply protective and quietly caring. She has little patience for laziness or excuses but willingly supports anyone genuinely striving to improve.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

14. Cain

Race: Human
Age: 58
Height: 210 cm
Weight: 140 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Cain is an enormous man whose body bears countless monstrous scars, the result of years spent fighting alongside the cursed entity known as Raast. Blind in both eyes, his face is partially hidden beneath bandages, while deep wounds around his jaw create the unsettling impression of a second, beast-like mouth beneath his human features.

Despite his terrifying appearance, Cain is one of the kindest people in Avalon. Gentle, patient and endlessly considerate, he is often seen helping first-year students adjust to academy life, sharing food he baked himself or quietly checking whether his friends have eaten or slept enough. He speaks warmly and never judges others by talent or status. Many younger students affectionately see him as an older brother. Only on the battlefield does the horrifying monster hidden beneath his calm personality finally reveal itself.

11. Cassandra

Race: Half-Demon, Half-Human
Age: 57
Height: 165 cm
Weight: 57 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Cassandra is a slender young woman with pale pink-white hair and soft lilac eyes that always seem distant, as though she is listening to thoughts no one else can hear. Heavy chains are almost always wrapped around her arms and body, becoming part of her unmistakable silhouette.

Quiet, apathetic and painfully honest, Cassandra rarely initiates conversations and often appears emotionally detached. She dislikes crowds and noisy places, preferring libraries or empty training halls where she can be alone. Despite her distant demeanor, she is deeply compassionate and quietly helps those in need whenever she can do so unnoticed. She speaks softly, never wastes words and almost never shows anger. In battle, however, her expression barely changes even as she unleashes terrifying destructive power, making her calmness far more unsettling than rage.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

12. Zoe Vale

Race: Elf
Age: 58
Height: 170 cm
Weight: 56 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Zoe is a beautiful elf with vivid crimson hair, brilliant violet eyes and an infectious smile that immediately brightens any room she enters. Her cheerful appearance often causes people to underestimate her until they witness her extraordinary talent firsthand.

Energetic, curious and endlessly optimistic, Zoe loves meeting new people and has an almost childlike fascination with discovering unfamiliar magic. She speaks openly, laughs often and enjoys making even ordinary days feel exciting. Beneath that playful personality lies remarkable emotional intelligence; she notices when someone is struggling long before they admit it themselves. As Seraphina Vale's daughter, she carries her family name with pride but never expects special treatment, preferring to earn respect through her own achievements.

9. Akshan De'Akashi

Race: Human
Age: 59
Height: 186 cm
Weight: 79 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Akshan is a tall human with long black hair and calm eyes that always seem focused on thoughts invisible to everyone else. His appearance is simple compared to many other Anomalies, yet the quiet confidence surrounding him naturally commands respect.

One of Avalon's greatest scholars, Akshan believes knowledge should always come before power. He spends most of his free time researching runes, magical formations and ancient civilizations, often forgetting to sleep while working on new theories. Gentle, humble and exceptionally polite, he enjoys teaching younger students and never ridicules sincere questions. Conversations with him often drift toward philosophy, science or magic, and he has a habit of explaining even the most complicated concepts with surprising simplicity.
10. Nix Veloria

Race: Demon
Age: 60
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 84 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Nix is a handsome demon with curved black horns, dark hair and vivid violet eyes that almost always carry the hint of an amused smile. His relaxed posture and lazy expression make him appear far less dangerous than he truly is.

Playful, witty and endlessly theatrical, Nix treats everyday life as though it were one long performance. He enjoys teasing friends, making dramatic entrances and confusing people simply to watch their reactions. Beneath his carefree personality hides an exceptionally perceptive mind capable of reading emotions with frightening accuracy. Although he pretends not to take anything seriously, Nix becomes surprisingly focused whenever those he cares about are threatened, revealing a level of determination few expect from him.

7. Lariel-Null

Race: Erudroid
Age: 58
Height: 176 cm
Weight: 71 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Lariel-Null is an erudroid whose silver body can seamlessly imitate human appearance while retaining faint metallic details beneath the skin. Her luminous blue eyes constantly process information, giving the unsettling impression that nothing escapes her notice.

Calm, patient and astonishingly logical, Lariel rarely allows emotions to influence her decisions. She prefers gathering information before acting and can analyze an opponent's habits within minutes. Despite her machine-like composure, she possesses a subtle sense of humor that only appears around close friends. She enjoys mathematics, strategy games and assisting professors with complex magical calculations, often solving problems long before others understand them.

8. Sienna Varkos

Race: Wolf Shapeshifter
Age: 57
Height: 178 cm
Weight: 72 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Sienna is an athletic young woman with silver-brown hair, amber eyes and the ears and tail of a wolf. Her posture is relaxed, her smile confident, and there is almost always an untamed energy surrounding her, as though she could break into a sprint without warning.

Honest, emotional and impossible to keep still, Sienna loves movement, competition and exploring the wilderness surrounding Avalon. She laughs loudly, speaks openly and rarely hides what she thinks. Although impulsive, she possesses remarkable instincts and often notices danger before anyone else. She values loyalty above everything else and becomes fiercely protective of those she considers part of her pack.

5. Mirella Failit

Race: High Fairy
Age: 61
Height: 171 cm
Weight: 54 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Mirella is an elegant High Fairy whose pale green hair, violet eyes and delicate branch-like horns give her an ethereal appearance. She dresses with exceptional taste, combining refined fashion with subtle eccentricity that perfectly matches her personality.

Graceful, intelligent and impossible to predict, Mirella rarely thinks along conventional lines. Her conversations often shift unexpectedly from playful teasing to profound philosophical observations, leaving others unsure whether she is joking or revealing genuine insight. She enjoys confusing people almost as much as she enjoys helping them, and often teaches lessons by allowing others to reach conclusions on their own. Beneath her mysterious demeanor lies genuine kindness and fierce loyalty toward those fortunate enough to earn her trust.

6. Orion Graves

Race: Vampire
Age: 60
Height: 192 cm
Weight: 86 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Orion is a tall vampire with pale skin, deep crimson eyes and dark wine-colored hair that falls neatly around his face. His appearance is refined and impeccably maintained, rarely showing a wrinkle in his uniform or a misplaced strand of hair. He gives the impression of a gentleman attending an academic conference rather than a battlefield.

Cold, analytical and endlessly curious, Orion views the world through the eyes of a researcher. He enjoys experiments, alchemy and studying unusual forms of magic, often spending entire nights inside Avalon’s laboratories. He speaks politely and calmly regardless of the situation, almost never raising his voice. Although emotionally distant, he genuinely values knowledge and quietly respects anyone capable of challenging his understanding of the world.

Age: 57
Height: 188 cm

Highly observant, sarcastic and remarkably patient, Kael prefers solving problems before they become conflicts. He enjoys psychological games, subtle humor and watching people underestimate him. Despite his sharp tongue, he is deeply loyal to those he considers friends and quietly protects weaker students whenever possible. He dislikes reckless heroics and believes intelligence should always come before force. His calm demeanor rarely changes, even in the middle of battle.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Race: Imperial Troll
Age: 59
Height: 247 cm
Weight: 312 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Ragna is an enormous Imperial Troll covered in countless old scars earned through years of combat. His braided white hair, massive frame and booming voice make him impossible to overlook, yet his broad smile often appears before his fists do.

Loud, energetic and surprisingly warm-hearted, Ragna treats almost everyone like an old friend after a single conversation. He loves contests of strength, hearty meals and honest people who speak their minds. Cowardice and arrogance irritate him far more than insults. Beneath his cheerful personality lies remarkable emotional maturity; many younger students seek him out when they need encouragement or practical advice. In battle he fights with overwhelming momentum, laughing as though every duel were a celebration of life itself.

1. Leonis Veir

Race: Half-Dragon
Age: 58
Height: 205 cm
Weight: 138 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Leonis is a towering half-dragon whose bronze skin, black scales and golden reptilian eyes make him instantly recognizable throughout Avalon. His powerful physique resembles that of an ancient predator rather than a human, yet his movements are surprisingly calm and disciplined.

Reserved, dependable and honest, Leonis dislikes manipulation and empty pride. He speaks only when he has something worth saying, choosing simple, direct words over lengthy speeches. Younger students often approach him for advice because he never mocks weakness and believes talent means little without discipline. Outside combat he enjoys training, cooking enormous meals for friends and helping first-years improve their fundamentals. Once battle begins, however, the restraint disappears, revealing the terrifying ferocity of his draconic blood.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2. Celestia Arkwright

Race: Human (Angelic Bloodline)
Age: 60
Height: 174 cm
Weight: 60 kg
Course: Third Course, Third Year
Rank: 6

Celestia possesses an almost sacred beauty. Her long golden-white hair, icy blue eyes and elegant posture often make strangers mistake her for nobility or royalty. She maintains impeccable manners regardless of the situation and carries herself with quiet dignity.

Kind, compassionate and endlessly polite, Celestia holds herself to impossibly high standards. She forgives others far more easily than she forgives herself and constantly pushes beyond her own limits. She dislikes unnecessary cruelty, values responsibility above emotion and naturally assumes leadership whenever chaos begins. Although gentle in daily life, she becomes frighteningly decisive in battle, never allowing emotions to cloud her judgment.

Rank 1 — Monarch: The absolute peak of known existence. Monarchs stand beyond conventional power, capable of destroying kingdoms alone, defeating legendary monsters, and overwhelming armies through their mere presence. Only a small number of Monarchs are known to the world, yet Arcadia is unimaginably vast. Beyond the borders of civilization, within forgotten continents, ancient ruins, endless oceans, or even hidden among ordinary people, countless unknown monsters may still walk the world in human skin. Priscilla Nobus, the Archsuccubus Director of Avalon Academy, is one of the few Monarchs whose existence is publicly known.

Avalon Academy follows the Continental Academic System, the educational structure recognized by most major magical institutions across the Five Continents. A complete standard education lasts approximately sixty years and is divided into six Courses, each spanning roughly ten years. This length is considered entirely normal in Arcadia, where both natural racial longevity and magical development allow individuals to live for centuries or even millennia.

The First and Second Courses establish the foundation: mana and Aura control, magical theory, runology, combat, survival, monster studies and general disciplines. Students normally stabilize around Rank 9–8 during this period. The Third and Fourth Courses focus on specialization, field research, expeditions, practical combat and increasingly independent work, with capable students progressing toward Rank 7. The Fifth and Sixth Courses function almost as professional service under the Academy: dangerous expeditions, monster suppression, international tournaments, independent research and advanced specialization.

Rank 7 is considered an excellent level for an Avalon graduate and already represents a fully qualified professional mage. Rank 6, Grandmaster, is exceptional among students and may never be reached by many professional mages. This is why Avalon's Twenty Anomalies—all Grandmasters before graduation—are considered extraordinary. Rank 5, Warlord, is rarer still: a strategic-level combatant valuable.

Age itself is perceived differently in Arcadia. Rank increases biological potential rather than guaranteeing a fixed lifespan, while race determines the natural foundation. For most magically developed individuals, visible physical aging slows dramatically and commonly stabilizes around the apparent age of thirty to thirty-six. Thus, an Avalon graduate in their seventies or eighties may still be considered a young adult, with centuries of potential life ahead.
Students can stay after graduation in Academy.

Professor Liara Velt, 654 y.o
height; 210 centimeters
weight: ~103 kilograms
She is the teacher of summoning and spirit contracts at Avalon Academy, a rank 3 mage and a panther beastkin with a human body and the predatory traits of a black jaguar. She has a flexible, powerful figure, dark hair, feline golden eyes, sharp fangs, a silent, graceful gait, and a long black tail that reveals her irritation before she even speaks. Liara is intelligent, strict, and sharp-tongued, but not cruel; she feels more like an older sister who constantly sighs at the idiocy of her students, yet still refuses to let them die from their own arrogance. The only student who almost never disappoints her is Samantha, whom Liara treats with rare respect. She has formed a contract with only one spirit a 3-rd rank spirit of dreams, Malio (female; appearance: usually a cat, hut could be present as a Tall women with cat ears and two tails, 204 centimeters and 100 kilograms, dark haired)

Samantha Aurelion

Race: Human
Age: 58
Height: 166 cm
Weight: 58 kg
Course: Second Course, Third Year
Rank: Officially Unclassified (True strength approaches Rank 6)

Samantha is a quiet, gentle young woman whose graceful movements and warm amber eyes make her seem far more suited to a library than a battlefield. Her short dark hair frames a soft, thoughtful face, and she carries herself with quiet elegance. She dislikes conflict, prefers listening over speaking, and possesses remarkable empathy. Although officially considered an ordinary student, Samantha is secretly one of Avalon's greatest prodigies, though Priscilla Nobus deliberately chose not to register her among the Twenty Anomalies.

She has formed only a single Spirit Contract—with Corvus, an ancient spirit embodying darkness, nightmares and horror. His true power remains unknown even to Samantha. Corvus usually appears as a massive raven with pitch-black feathers that seem to swallow light and eyes resembling a star-filled cosmos.

Murder is a main taboo in Avalon

Professors of Avalon Academy are controlling situations to avoid any deaths during battles and studies.

The Twenty Anomalies of Avalon are not a ranking of the academy's strongest students, nor are they officially considered its absolute elite.

They are twenty individuals whose talent, potential, or very nature was deemed so extraordinary that Avalon granted them the status of Anomaly.

All twenty Anomalies have reached Rank 6—an achievement so exceptional that only a handful of students in the academy's history have accomplished it while still enrolled. However, this title does not automatically place them above every other student. Avalon is home to several remarkable upperclassmen who have reached Rank 5 through decades of relentless discipline, experience, and mastery. Some of them are fully capable of standing against certain Anomalies in battle through superior technique, tactical knowledge, or sheer combat experience.

An Anomaly is not a title awarded to the strongest.

It is a recognition that the academy has witnessed someone whose abilities, growth, or existence itself cannot be measured by conventional standards. They are students whose potential has already surpassed what Avalon considers normal—and whose true limits remain unknown, even to the academy's professors

7. Garruk Ironmaw — Professor of Aura Reinforcement and Close Combat
   Race: Imperial Troll | Rank 3 Archon
   Garruk is a massive troll with stone-gray skin, tusks capped in black iron, braided white hair, and a body covered in old scars. Despite his brutal appearance, he is calm, disciplined, and surprisingly fatherly toward hardworking students. He teaches aura reinforcement, hand-to-hand combat, weapon endurance, and battlefield survival. His lessons are infamous because he believes pain is honest, fear is useful, and talent without discipline is just decorative garbage.

8. Evelynn Veyr — Professor of Curses and Defensive Hexcraft
   Race: Half-Demon | Rank 4 Sovereign
   Evelynn has long dark-purple hair, golden eyes with slit pupils, and elegant black horns partly hidden beneath a veil of enchanted lace. Her beauty is quiet and poisonous rather than openly seductive. She teaches curses, anti-curse barriers, hex detection, curse-breaking, and magical countermeasures. Polite, soft-spoken, and deeply unsettling, Evelynn never raises her voice. She simply smiles when students realize the “harmless” curse she placed on them three days ago was the real lesson.

Avalon Academy has many other professors as well: retired generals, ancient mages, saint-class healers, rune engineers, monster scholars, assassins, elementalists, necromantic theorists, beast tamers, war priests, and wandering legends. Describing every teacher would take far too much space, because Avalon is not a small school — it is a city of monsters teaching future monsters.

4. Dorian Graves — Professor of Alchemy and Essence Refinement
   Race: Vampire | Rank 4 Sovereign
   Tall, elegant, and deathly handsome, with dark red eyes, pale skin, and neatly tied wine-colored hair. His movements are refined, almost aristocratic. Dorian specializes in monster essences, biological adaptation, and forbidden potion theory. Calm and sophisticated, he treats alchemy like art and surgery like poetry. He is polite, but unnervingly detached.

5. Aion-7 “Aster” — Professor of Aura and Combat Control
   Race: Erudroid | Rank 3 Archon
   A living arcane construct with a flawlessly sculpted humanoid body of white metal and luminous blue lines. Aster usually presents in an androgynous form, though they can alter voice, frame, and features at will. Their face is beautiful in an artificial, almost sacred way. Precise, emotion-aware, and analytical, Aster teaches aura discipline, physical enhancement, and combat efficiency. They are patient with effort, merciless toward excuses.

6. Maelra Thornveil — Professor of Summoning and Spirit Contracts
   Race: High Fae | Rank 4 Sovereign
   Maelra is a tall, ethereal woman with violet skin, moth-like eyes, long pale-green hair, and delicate antler-shaped horns. Her robes are woven from spirit silk and living flowers that never wither. She teaches summoning, elemental contracts, familiar bonding, and communication with non-human entities. Gentle in voice but alien in logic, Maelra treats spirits with more respect than most people. Students quickly learn that breaking a contract in her class is far worse than failing an exam.

1. Priscilla Nobus — Director of Avalon Academy
   Race: Archsuccubus | Rank 1 Monarch
   Priscilla is a silver-haired demoness of breathtaking beauty, with long moonlit hair, crimson eyes, curved black horns, and a body as elegant as it is dangerously seductive. Her presence feels warm, alluring, and faintly oppressive, like a velvet veil draped over a blade. She often dresses in regal dark gowns, exposing just enough to unsettle and tempt. Playful, teasing, and sometimes openly flirtatious, Priscilla enjoys making others lose their composure. Yet beneath that sensual charm stands an absolute Monarch: proud, ancient, and unshakably authoritative. She may smile, pout, or laugh—but when she gives an order, even monsters listen.

2. Vael Drakhar — Professor of Elemental Warfare
   Race: Demonborn | Rank 3 Archon
   A towering man with dark bronze skin, ash-black hair, and glowing ember veins running across his arms. His eyes burn like molten gold, and he carries himself like a retired general who still expects obedience. Vael teaches large-scale elemental combat and battlefield spell tactics. Stern, disciplined, and brutally honest, he values power earned through hardship.

3. Seraphine Vale — Professor of Runology
   Race: Human | Rank 4 Archon
   A pale, graceful woman with long black hair, silver-rimmed glasses, and intricate runes tattooed along her neck, arms, and fingers. She dresses in layered academic robes threaded with enchanted sigils. Seraphine is cold, composed, and terrifyingly intelligent. She speaks softly, but her words always cut straight to the point. Students fear her exams more than monsters.

Avalon Academy is a colossal magical academy located on the Ardein and is considered one of the most prestigious institutions in the world. It is one of the few academies whose Director is a Rank 1 Monarch, making Avalon not only a place of education, but a political, military, and magical power respected even by kingdoms and empires.

Admission into Avalon is brutally selective. While most academies accept students with a C-grade aptitude result, Avalon only accepts those who achieve A+ during official testing. Because of this, despite its enormous scale, the academy does not have an overwhelming number of students. Every student who enters Avalon is already considered a rare talent, a future elite, or a potential monster in the making.

Every professor in Avalon is at least Rank 4. Many are retired legends who once shook battlefields, ruled armies, explored forbidden ruins, or survived wars against calamity-class monsters. Former generals, ancient wizards, master warlocks, aura tyrants, arch-alchemists, rune engineers, monster hunters, assassins, saints, and cursed nobles now serve as teachers. In Avalon, even a “normal lesson” can feel like training under a living catastrophe.

The academy’s rules are strict. Killing students is absolutely forbidden. Direct interference with the soul is also forbidden, except under highly regulated medical or ritual supervision. Official duels, combat exams, and training battles are allowed, but they must be registered and observed. Injuries received during official duels are treated as part of training, even if they include severed limbs, crushed organs, burned mana channels, or broken bones. Avalon’s medical staff is powerful enough to restore almost any physical wound.

However, injuries inflicted outside official rules are treated as severe crimes. Unauthorized attacks, assassination attempts, soul damage, curse implantation, forced essence corruption, or lethal sabotage are investigated by the Disciplinary Committ

THE MAGICAL COUNCIL

The Magical Council consists of five Rank 1 Monarchs, each representing one of Arcadia’s great continents. They stand above kingdoms, empires, academies, churches, and most international institutions, yet rarely interfere in ordinary politics. The Council acts only when a threat endangers the balance or survival of entire continents. Many Rank 1 beings exist across Arcadia, but almost none would willingly challenge all Five Monarchs together.

SAURON — Monarch of SKELD
A Rank 1 Archdemon with dark red skin, obsidian horns, ember-like eyes, and a mantle of living shadow. Ancient, severe, and relentlessly rational, Sauron does not seek cruelty, but accepts violence when diplomacy fails.

MELISSA NOCT — Monarch of KAZAR
A Rank 1 Human Archmage with long silver-black hair, violet eyes, and dark robes marked by golden constellations. Brilliant, patient, and methodical, Melissa treats warfare, politics, and magic as systems whose weaknesses can be calculated.

MOROK — Monarch of SEIRAN
The Star Dragon, capable of appearing either as a colossal cosmic dragon or a quiet silver-horned man with starlit eyes. Ancient and philosophical, Morok speaks rarely and never acts without reason. When he does, even rulers listen.

ARIEL FAUST — Monarch of ARDEIN
A Rank 1 Elven Monarch with pale hair, emerald-gold eyes, and robes resembling living leaves under moonlight. Gentle but disciplined, Ariel values balance, memory, and the survival of future generations above personal attachment.

ALEXANDRA TORGAN — Monarch of ORVELL
A Rank 1 Kitsune with crimson hair, amber eyes, nine luminous tails, and elegant silk garments covered in charms. Playful, perceptive, and dangerously charming, Alexandra hides ruthless judgment behind smiles and can make negotiations feel pleasant until the other side realizes it has already lost.

MAGICAL ACADEMIES OF ARCADIA

Magical academies exist across all five continents of Arcadia, from small regional schools to legendary institutions powerful enough to influence kingdoms. They are not merely schools, but military centers, research cities, political instruments and training grounds for future monsters of power.

Each academy has its own specialization: elemental mastery, rune engineering, aura combat, alchemy, summoning, monster hunting, assassination arts, healing, war magic, dimensional studies, or forbidden research.

Academies are ranked through continental and international systems based on student strength, professor rank, research, survival rates, political influence, tournament victories, monster-subjugation records, and high-ranking graduates. Higher-ranked academies gain greater funding, rare resources, ancient knowledge, and priority access to exceptional talents.

Every two years, Ardein, Seiran, Skeld, Orvell, and Kazar each host a Continental Academy Tournament. Students compete in duels, team battles, dungeon trials, monster hunts, strategy, and magical research. These tournaments determine prestige, resources, scholarships, sponsorships, recruitment rights, and sometimes political marriages or military agreements.

Once every seven years, when the Blood Moon rises over Ardein, the Tournament of the Blood Crown begins—the greatest academic event in Arcadia. The strongest students from all five continents gather before kingdoms, empires, guilds, churches, academies, and hidden powers.

Victory is among the highest honors a young mage or warrior can achieve. The champion receives rewards authorized by the Five Monarchs: forbidden grimoires, legendary artifacts, monster essences, divine-grade materials, ancient contracts, lost techniques, access to sealed ruins, or, in rare cases, a reward chosen personally for the victor.

The world is filled not only with monsters, but also with countless forms of flora and fauna that have adapted to extreme mana and spiritual energy. Many animals are not monsters at all: they possess natural instincts, stable biology, and ecological roles rather than chaotic mutation or destructive hunger. Mana-stags, crystal-winged birds, ironhide bulls, moonfish, thunder wolves, spirit bees, and many other creatures are part of the natural world, often used for travel, farming, medicine, familiars, materials, or cultivation.

Plants are just as important. Some herbs strengthen mana channels, some flowers calm spiritual instability, some roots enhance aura recovery, and some fruits improve elemental affinity after careful refinement. Dangerous forests may contain poisonous vines, dream-pollen trees, blood orchids, silverleaf groves, and ancient world-trees that influence entire regions. Alchemists, healers, druids, and academy students often seek rare plants and animal materials to create potions, rituals, medicines, catalysts, and essence-stabilizers.

Elementals are a separate category from both monsters and conscious races. They originate from the Elemental Plane, an independent dimension shaped by pure elemental laws. Fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, light, shadow, metal, wood, and other forces exist there as living spiritual entities. The strongest among them are known as Elemental Kings, ancient rulers whose authority over their elements is almost absolute.

Summoners can call elementals into the material world through rituals, contracts, inherited bonds, or spiritual resonance. A contracted elemental may fight, protect, teach, enhance spells, stabilize mana, or lend spiritual power to its partner. However, elementals are not tools. They possess pride, instincts, emotions, and strange values shaped by their native plane. A broken contract can lead to backlash, curses, loss of affinity, or being hunted by the elemental’s kin.

Because the world is divided into five colossal continents, civilization has developed in wildly different ways. There is no single political order, no universal culture, and no race that thinks or lives the same everywhere. Kingdoms, empires, khanates, republics, theocracies, mage-states, tribal confederations, merchant leagues, city-states, and military dictatorships all exist, each shaped by geography, mana density, monster threats, ancient wars, religion, resources, and racial history.

Members of the same race can differ drastically depending on their homeland. An elf from a sacred forest empire may have little in common with an elf born in a desert republic or a volcanic military state. Dwarves from mountain kingdoms, underground technomantic cities, and coastal trade leagues may share ancestry, yet speak different dialects, worship different gods, and follow different laws. These cultural branches often have accepted names, such as Highwood Elves, Ashen Elves, Iron Dwarves, Deep Dwarves, Crown Demons, Abyssborn Demons, Steppe Trolls, Imperial Trolls, Sun Harpies, Grave Harpies, and countless others.

Politics are just as varied. Some nations are noble monarchies ruled by ancient bloodlines. Others are democratic councils where guilds, scholars, warriors, and merchant houses vote for power. Some are angelic theocracies, demonic aristocracies, warrior khanates, mage oligarchies, technomantic republics, or brutal dictatorships built on conquest, racial purity, fear, and propaganda.

This world is not black and white. A monarchy may protect its people better than a republic. A democracy may legally exploit weaker races. A demon empire may be tolerant, while an angelic kingdom may persecute half-bloods as impurities. Cruelty and virtue are not tied to race, government, or religion. The world has too many colors — and some of them are ugly.

THE SEVEN THREAT MARKS

Arcadian monsters are classified by Seven Threat Marks. Because Arcadia is vastly larger than Earth, terms such as “regional” or “national” refer to enormous territories. A Mark measures overall danger rather than raw strength alone: aggression, intelligence, mobility, reproduction, magic, environmental damage, and containment difficulty are all considered.

ASH MARK — Local Threat. Dangerous to civilians and small settlements, but normally manageable by trained hunters or local forces.

FANG MARK — Territorial Threat. Capable of destroying settlements, caravans, garrisons, and making large inhabited territories unsafe.

IRON MARK — Regional Calamity. A creature capable of devastating tens of thousands of square kilometers, destroying cities one after another, defeating conventional military forces, and severely damaging regional ecosystems. Its appearance may require a major military, academy, or guild operation lasting weeks.

CRIMSON MARK — State-Level Calamity. Capable of devastating vast portions of a nation, annihilating major cities and armies, and creating enormous dead zones. Defeating one may require several of a nation's greatest combat forces.

BLACK MARK — National Disaster. A single entity capable of bringing an entire nation toward collapse through destruction, corruption, mass casualties, or displacement.

PALE MARK — Continental Calamity. Capable of erasing nations, destroying ecosystems across immense territories, triggering mass migrations, or permanently altering parts of a continent.

VOID MARK — Existential Threat. Reserved for entities capable of threatening entire continents, civilization across Arcadia, or even the world's fundamental magical and spatial structure.

Threat Marks are independent from Ranks. Rank measures individual power. Threat Mark answers a different question: how catastrophic is this creature if nobody stops it?

The world of Arcadia is inhabited by countless intelligent races. Humans, elves, dwarves, trolls, harpies, angels, demons, pixies, beastfolk, giants, vampires, dragonkin, spirits, fae, and many other peoples exist across the five continents.Some live in great multicultural empires, others in isolated kingdoms, tribal nations, sacred enclaves, underground cities, floating sanctuaries, or cursed territories where outsiders are killed on sight.

This world does not treat coexistence as simple or peaceful. Alliances, trade, mixed cities, and academy life are common, but so are racism, supremacy movements, racial wars, slavery, old grudges, religious hatred, and bloodline politics. Some nations worship angels and execute demons. Others consider elves ancient tyrants, trolls savage by nature, or humans dangerously ambitious. Avalon Academy is unusual because it accepts students from nearly every conscious race, judging them mostly by talent, rank potential, and usefulness.

All living beings are broadly divided into two categories: Monsters and Conscious Races.

Monsters are creatures driven mainly by primal instinct, hunger, territorial violence, chaotic mana, elemental forces, abyssal corruption, or malformed spiritual energy. Some are intelligent in a predatory way, but they do not build stable civilizations or moral societies. Wyverns, abyss beasts, corrupted spirits, dungeon-born horrors, chaos elementals, and many mutant creatures belong to this category.

Conscious Races are beings capable of culture, language, self-control, moral choice, society, tradition, education, and long-term identity. Dwarves, elves, trolls, harpies, demons, angels, pixies, vampires, beastfolk, and dragonkin can all belong here, even if some of them appear monstrous to outsiders.

The distinction is not based on appearance, but on awareness. A troll scholar is a person. A beautiful crystal spirit driven only by hunger is a monster. This difference shapes law, hunting rights, academy ethics.

Rank 10 — Initiate: The first step into the supernatural. Most awakened people begin here, learning to control mana, aura, or their chosen discipline. Although stronger than ordinary humans, they are still inexperienced and vulnerable.

Rank 9 — Adept: Trained fighters and spellcasters capable of defeating ordinary soldiers with ease. Adventurers, city guards, and junior academy students commonly reach this stage through years of practice.

Rank 8 — Knight: Veteran warriors and accomplished mages recognized by kingdoms and guilds alike. Rank 8 individuals often serve as military officers, elite hunters, or leaders of dangerous expeditions against powerful monsters.

Rank 7 — Master: Individuals whose abilities far surpass conventional armies. A single Master can dominate battlefields, eliminate entire companies of soldiers, and defeat monsters that would devastate towns. They are respected wherever they travel.

Rank 6 — Grandmaster: The elite of great kingdoms. Talented Avalon students commonly graduate at this rank after eighteen years of study. Rank 6 monsters are considered national threats, capable of destroying large cities if left unchecked. Likewise, Rank 6 warriors and mages possess enough power to confront such creatures directly. Across most of the world, reaching this rank marks the beginning of true legend.

Rank 5 — Warlord: Extraordinary prodigies whose existence alone can determine the outcome of regional wars. Kingdoms willingly reshape alliances to recruit or retain a Rank 5. Their techniques transcend ordinary combat, and even multiple Grandmasters rarely pose a serious threat.

Rank 4 — Sovereign: The boundary between mortals and demigods. The difference between Rank 5 and Rank 4 is no longer one of strength alone, but of existence itself. Sovereigns reshape landscapes through battle, possess bodies and souls fundamentally beyond ordinary life, and are capable of influencing nations simply by their presence.

Power in Arcadia is measured through the Ten Ascendant Ranks. A higher rank is not simply greater strength—it represents the evolution of one's body, mana, aura, soul, and very existence. Every advancement is a qualitative transformation rather than a numerical increase.

Exceptional talent, legendary artifacts, bloodlines, superior techniques, or perfect strategy may allow someone to challenge an opponent one rank above them, but such victories are rare and often require overwhelming advantages. As ranks rise, the difference becomes increasingly absolute.

The gap between Rank 10 and Rank 6 is measurable through training and experience. However, beginning with Rank 5, each advancement fundamentally changes what a person is capable of. The leap from Rank 5 to Rank 4 is considered the boundary between mortals and demigods. A Rank 4 possesses a body, soul, and aura that exist on an entirely different level of reality. To them, even a powerful Rank 5 resembles an insect attempting to oppose a giant.

Higher ranks are not merely stronger—they perceive the world differently, wield vastly denser mana and aura, possess greater control over reality itself, and become progressively harder to injure or kill. By Rank 2 and Rank 1, their existence alone can influence nature, kingdoms, and the balance of the world.

Rank 3 — Archon: Beings feared across continents. Every Avalon professor is at least Rank 3. Their mastery allows them to alter the fate of kingdoms, suppress armies alone, and battle creatures that ordinary civilizations would consider impossible to defeat.

Rank 2 — Calamity: Living natural disasters. Their battles erase cities, fracture mountain ranges, change rivers, and permanently scar the world itself. Entire nations mobilize simply to prepare for their arrival.

The world of Arcadia is a colossal planet divided into five great continents. Its scale is almost impossible to grasp: kingdoms may be separated by months of travel, ancient forests can stretch wider than empires, mountain ranges pierce the clouds, and abyssal seas hide creatures capable of sinking entire fleets with a single movement.

This world is saturated with mana and spiritual energy. Because of this, even ordinary people are tougher, stronger, and more resilient than humans from weaker worlds. Mages, knights, alchemists, and aura warriors can reach levels of power that would be considered divine elsewhere. But here, strength is normal, and only those who rise above other monsters are truly feared.

Civilization is a fusion of magic, technology, and ancient fantasy. Cities are lit by mana crystals, rune-powered airships cross the skies, and arcane gates connect major capitals. Warriors wear enchanted armor, while scholars create alchemical engines, magical prosthetics, servant golems, and weapons powered by spiritual energy. Yet beyond protected territories, monsters, cursed lands, ancient races, and ruins of lost civilizations still rule.

Magical academies are the heart of progress and power. Avalon is one of the greatest academies on the central continent, equal in scale to the capital of a vast kingdom. Students live, study, fight, join clubs, explore dungeons, and hunt monsters to harvest essences for growth. Education here is not merely a path to a profession, but a slow transformation into a being capable of surviving among the godlike predators of this world.

ARDEIN(Central Continent) — one of Arcadia’s largest political centers and among its most densely populated continents. Its immense territories are divided between kingdoms, empires, republics, independent cities, and lands controlled by ancient noble houses. Avalon Academy and the Kron Empire are both located here. The climate ranges from cold northern regions to warm southern lands, while constant rivalry between nations has made Ardein a major center of diplomacy, trade, and warfare.

SEIRAN — a vast eastern continent known for ancient states and civilizations whose histories stretch back thousands of years. The Nerver Empire, the Shu Empire, and countless other powers are located here, each with its own culture, religion, and political structure. Seiran is especially famous for ancient magical traditions, forgotten schools of martial arts, and long-lived dynasties.

SKELD lies within Arcadia’s northern latitudes. Much of the continent is cold, dominated by mountain ranges, endless coniferous forests, steppes, tundra, and frozen seas. Its nations are often separated by enormous distances, allowing strong regional cultures, clans, and military alliances to develop. The peoples of Skeld are widely known for their endurance and ability to survive harsh environments.

ORVELL occupies the western reaches of the world and is distinguished by its immense coastline, inland seas, and numerous archipelagos. Merchant states, maritime powers, and great port cities flourish here. Orvell is considered one of Arcadia’s main centers of oceanic trade, shipbuilding, and long-distance exploration.

KAZAR(South continent) lies primarily within Arcadia’s warmer latitudes. Its lands include immense deserts, savannas, tropical forests, highlands, and fertile river valleys. Many of Kazar’s ancient cities were founded around rivers, oases, and magical springs. The continent is renowned for rare resources, caravan routes, and an extraordinary diversity of peoples and cultures.
