The Kingdom of Luin invented a special concept called "Disaster Response Units." These are numerous units throughout the Luin family's lands, and their sole mission is to defend against and assist against any disaster or attack. Whether they succeed or fail, this creates a debt of honor for the noble families affiliated with the Luin family and makes the people more faithful and grateful to the royal Luin family.

The noble people of the Kingdom of Luin were distinguished by their long, silky black, white, red, dark blue, or dark purple hair; their deep black, red, or abyss-blue eyes; their fair skin; and their height, as most of them were very tall.

The second part of Luin's army consists of the Phoenix Archers, who also possess Phoenix wings, but their use is limited to deflecting arrows. This allows them to deflect enemy arrows while simultaneously unleashing their own barrage without pause. From the inner wings of the Phoenix, they attach 12 arrow quivers, each holding 100 arrows, giving them a total of 1,200 arrows. They typically store the first barrage of arrows until the enemy cavalry attacks the Phoenix infantry. The third section consists of the Phoenix Archers, whose role is usually to defend the Phoenix Archers from any stealthy attacks by enemy infantry or cavalry. Therefore, they are usually positioned around the Phoenix Archers. The Phoenix Archers also possess Phoenix wings, allowing them to deflect arrows if they rain down on them. This eliminates the common weakness of other archers, giving them a significant advantage. Finally, the fourth section of the Luwin Kingdom's army is the Phoenix Knights, usually hidden among the trees. Their role is to attack the enemy archers. Thanks to their Phoenix wings, they don't need to worry about enemy arrow barrages, and if their target is the enemy army from behind, they can charge swiftly with their Phoenix wings folded. So as not to cause them any problems, and this is the army of the Kingdom of Luin.

The Kingdom of Luin possesses an army of 500,000 elite soldiers, distinguished by their unique black iron armor. The metal used to craft the armor of the elite Luin army is one of the kingdom's secrets. This armor is remarkably light, strong, and flexible, allowing the elite soldiers to move with incredible speed while wearing it without feeling its weight. The Luin army also boasts Phoenix Wings, long, flexible leather wings that extend from the back of the soldier's armor. These wings are mechanically designed to allow soldiers to move them freely, deflecting arrows while on the move. They are incredibly light and stronger than the best swords in the world outside the Kingdom of Luin, making the Luin army a nightmare for archers and cavalry. These wings are called "Phoenix Wings" in the Kingdom of Luin (I will henceforth use the name Phoenix Wings to refer to these mechanical wings). This figure excludes the militia in the Kingdom of Luin. The elite army of Luin is divided into four sections, each consisting of 125,000 soldiers. The first section is the Phoenix Infantry, distinguished by their Phoenix wings. Their specialization lies in the fact that when cavalry charges, they must kneel and close their Phoenix wings around themselves, becoming like sand dunes. Even if the cavalry collides with them, the cavalry will be launched into the air because the Phoenix wings have a special mechanism that buries them in the ground, making them very difficult to move. After the collision and the cavalry being thrown, the Phoenix Archers fire upon them. After the barrage of arrows subsides, the Phoenix Infantry emerge from beneath the wings and charge the enemy without hesitation. The enemy cavalry is weakened by this point and is therefore easily defeated.

The Kingdom of Luin was deeply entrenched, possessing thousands of assassination guilds under the control and protection of the royal family and noble families. These guilds were used to assassinate individuals deemed a threat to the Luin regime, particularly those who believed in bloodlines rather than merit.

The kings of the Luin Kingdom employed a stabilization strategy before expansion. Before expanding their territories and undertaking projects in other lands, they established infrastructure, order, security, and economic projects. This resulted in the Luin Kingdom being exceptionally stable and virtually ideally protected.

The fifth custom is visiting cards. Every visit between a noble family in Luin is expected to be preceded by sending a visiting card to inform the person of the visit, and violating this is equivalent to a social scandal, unless there is an emergency such as a foreign attack or the death of a member of one noble family while he is near the lands of another noble family. In this case, the situation becomes mandatory, and intervention must be swift. The sixth custom concerns the methods of folding business cards; each fold of the corners of the message conveys a different message, taught within the social customs of the nobility in the Kingdom of Luin. The seventh custom requires every noble family to undertake charitable projects to a certain extent to maintain their social standing and gain the support of the Church of Eternal Night. The eighth custom, similar to the hobbies of the upper class in other kingdoms, involves hunting and attending balls and men's clubs where politics and economics are discussed away from the people and the government.

Names in the Kingdom of Luin followed this type of pattern: Priscilla, Emilia, Anastasia, Julius, Reinhard, Crusch, Subaru, Ricardo, Mimi, Hitaro, Tiffi, and so on. Although some might think that the nobles of Luin have no customs, this is completely wrong. The nobles of the Kingdom of Luin possess many noble customs, the first of which is the custom of being late. When a nobleman hosts a party, all guests must arrive 8 to 15 minutes late. This is to give the host more time to prepare and clear his mind. The second custom is that the host of every party is required to prepare three topics of conversation beforehand, which he knows all the guests will be interested in. The first topic is about the local market or a section of it, or something similar. The second topic is about moderate matters, such as price increases in a particular market or interesting internal events. And the third and finally, there is the news, such as defeats. The enemies are exposed to before the army of the Kingdom of Luin, and the announcements of the Kingdom of Luin, and so on. He must possess sufficient social skills to keep the conversation going without an embarrassing silence. The third custom is the language of fans. The Kingdom of Luin has historically loved fans as a symbol of elegance and pragmatism, as fans, if made of iron, could be used as weapons. Therefore, these fans were made of iron, and noblewomen used fans to communicate messages between them through glances, along with opening and closing the iron fan in a specific way. The fourth custom was learning languages. It was expected of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Luin, especially from large noble families, to learn more than one language so that they could control lands with languages ​​different from the language of the Kingdom of Luin. Also, learning different languages ​​gives a person greater flexibility, but the origin always remains and the most important is learning the language of the Kingdom of Luin.

The famous motto of the Kingdom of Luin is "Evolve or die," and this is why they chose the black phoenix, burning with white flames, as their emblem. The phoenix symbolizes the rejection of all limits and transcendence above all the constraints of birth.

One point I forgot to mention is that Luin is not entirely opposed to magic, but rather to some of its principles, primarily human sacrifice. For the Church of Eternal Night, death is a relief, and sacrificing a person is akin to using their relief for power, or in the worst case, having their soul devoured by an evil god. As for... Self-sacrifice, according to the Church of Eternal Night, is a regrettable choice, but it still shouldn't spread within the kingdom. Those who sacrifice a part of themselves to use magic will, firstly, be less competent in other areas, and at worst, they will produce offspring with a curse or genetic defect. This will reduce the production of geniuses, something that frightens the entire kingdom of Luin internally, not just the Church of Eternal Night. Therefore, internally, the kingdom of Luin almost completely rejects magic because of its significant consequences. If magic were to exist that didn't require internal or bloody sacrifices, then perhaps the kingdom of Luin, the Church of Eternal Night, and the Church of the Phoenix would be willing to consider it.

Finally, there is the Church of the Lord of Storms, a church focused on combat, strategy, warfare, and navigation. They control many of Luin ports, and many officers in the army belong to the Lord of Storms. Their greatest influence is evident in the social seasons of June and July, which have been renamed "Storm Months"—months reserved for the nobility who belong to the church. Lords of the Storms are required to return to their lands, hunt, sail, and reconnect with other noble families as a religious holiday. However, these months have become social seasons for the noble families who worship Lords of the Storms. Furthermore, the Church of the Lords of the Storms does not encourage the status of women. According to their teachings, a woman's highest role is that of a housewife, serving her husband, enduring his anger, and raising her children well. Therefore, the Church of the Lords of the Storms has some issues with the Church of Eternal Night and the Church of the Phoenix. Although the conflict remained internal, the Church of the Lords of the Storms was based on people who did not possess a single drop of noble blood, which tied their existence to the kingdom of Luin. They usually preferred to live on ships at sea, so there was a pragmatic peace.

on noble blood. This received positive responses from the people of the Luin kingdom, who revered competence and viewed other civilizations that depended on noble blood as declining over time. This led the people to respond positively and become more wary of magic.

The second church is the Phoenix Church, which focuses on industry and inventions. They consider invention and development a form of worship. They support the status of women and possess significant scientific and industrial influence, controlling many schools, universities, and factories in Luin. They prioritize maintaining a friendly relationship with the Church of the Eternal Night, but their stance on slavery is even more fervent than that of the Eternal Night. The Church of the Phoenix views every slave as a potential genius whose talent is wasted due to their birth, a view considered heretical by the Phoenix. Consequently, they denounced all slave-trading kingdoms as infidels and heretics deserving of slaughter. While this was a very aggressive stance, it didn't face much criticism within the kingdom of Luin, as Luin abhorred slavery.

Within the kingdom of Luin itself, there are three main churches. The first is the Church of Eternal Night, the most influential due to its worship of the Eternal Night Goddess. According to their teachings, this Goddess represents tranquility, serenity, the peace of death, death itself, spiritual evolution and stability, the moon, the crescent moon, and madness. The Eternal Night Goddess is typically depicted in statues wielding a giant scythe, holding a red moon in her hands, and possessing ten arms. Her body is that of a giant woman wearing a long, modest black dress with a black veil covering her face completely. Her silky black hair flows down her back. She has ten hands, two of which hold a red moon, while the other two hold a giant scythe. The church promotes the status of women, and marriage is considered sacred. While they do not prohibit divorce, they view it as an unfortunate event that can occur if there is no compatibility between the partners. The church also strongly encourages the acceptance of freed slaves as part of the people, which allows it to integrate perfectly with the Luin system. However, the Church of Eternal Night tends to exert pressure to prevent the practice of Magic was also used to disrupt the slave trade. In terms of preventing the slave trade, they achieved significant results, as most slave traders were enemies of the Luin. Therefore, the Luin kingdom severed the slave trade routes that passed through its lands and seas. However, regarding magic, the Luin kingdom did not want to engage in war with all the sorcerers. Furthermore, preventing magic from spreading among the curious would be difficult, and officially banning it would only increase the people's curiosity. Therefore, the Luin kingdom incorporated sermons in the Eternal Night Church about the consequences and harms of magic, describing it as a malignant tumor that, if spread within the kingdom, would destroy it and cause it to fall behind, like civilizations that rely

In the Kingdom of Luin, three schools must be built for every three villages. If the council of the three villages is unable to build the schools, they are constructed using funds from the royal family's treasury. These three schools, one for each of the three villages, possess an educational system that rivals that of the nobility in the Kingdom of Luin. The curriculum covers commerce, logistics, leadership, history, manipulation, diplomacy, economics, military strategy, martial arts, and the use of weapons such as swords, spears, warhammers, shields, bows, daggers, and every other imaginable weapon. These schools also teach why the system of the Kingdom of Luin is superior to those of other civilizations, emphasizing that merit always takes precedence over lineage, and explaining why slavery is a human catastrophe because it oppresses geniuses who could change history simply because they were born into slavery. This, they argue, is both foolish and unbelievable.

A second weakness is that the kings of the Kingdom of Luin do not remain kings for long periods. Even when a king is in power, there is a struggle for the throne every two years, during which the king must defend his throne against rivals. Typically, after three or four struggles for the throne, meaning six to eight years, the reign of the king is short. After that, either the king dies or is overthrown and replaced by a new king; in both cases, most kings of the kingdom of Luin do not remain for long.

Despite all the advantages of the Kingdom of Luin, this does not mean that it is free of weaknesses. On the contrary, the Kingdom of Luin has a weakness: its small population. Despite its size, the population of the Kingdom of Luin does not exceed 8,000,000 people. This is due to many factors, primarily that the Kingdom of Luin's system makes social mobility very open, allowing anyone to ascend. This means that most of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Luin, except for the peaceful, the weak, and the disabled, think and spend most of their time and effort striving for social advancement. Marriage and procreation are primarily the focus of the royal princes, the king, and the general populace. The rest, who constitute the majority of the population of the Kingdom of Luin and who constantly develop themselves and persevere, do not marry often and rarely have children. Even when they do have children, they rarely have more than two. This makes the Kingdom of Luin very welcoming to immigrants and outcasts, and this is also usually reflected in the small number of children. In the streets of the Kingdom of Luin, despite its small population, when an allied army from three other great powers marched on the kingdom, it was brutally repelled by the Luin army. The invaders barely escaped and recovered in their own kingdoms. This demonstrates that even an allied army from three great powers is not a threat that the Kingdom of Luin cannot handle. It also means that most conflicts in the Kingdom of Luin are between geniuses and royal princes, and harming the people during these conflicts is forbidden. Anyone who harms the people during these conflicts will be met with fierce resistance. This means that in seasonal warfare, the Kingdom of Luin does not attack ordinary citizens and farmers, but rather targets nobles, the army, and anyone who bears arms. This reflects a deep moral restraint and their respect for the lives of ordinary people.

As long as a person proves their competence and genius and passes them, they can rise socially very easily.

The Kingdom of Luin is governed by a system of royal adoption, a system with a long history. It involves various tests of competence and competition among the Kingdom's most talented individuals to reach the ranks of royal princes. Thousands of different tests are conducted to assess all types of competence. The person who achieves the highest score and overcomes the greatest number of competitors becomes a royal prince of Luin and is injected with royal blood. This blood is a genetic compilation of the best genes from various kings throughout Luin's history, stored in vials. When this royal blood is injected, the individual becomes a royal prince of Luin and is eligible to compete for the throne. This competition, while also based on various types of competence, can also involve bloody rivalries among the royal princes. The winner is the one who establishes dominance over the other royal princes, neutralizing them or gaining their support, and demonstrating exceptional competence. A third option is for the successful candidate to become the adopted son of a royal prince, thus enabling them to participate in the subsequent competition for the throne, but not for the throne itself. The current competition is what most people do who have passed the royal adoption tests but are not yet ready to compete for the throne. There are also the noble adoption tests, which are similar to the royal adoption tests but less difficult, though still challenging enough. When a person passes them, they can establish their own noble family. As long as they can withstand the pressure from other families—pressure to maintain their status, not rejection of their new status—they will be welcomed into the nobility as one of the new nobles. Alternatively, a person who passes the noble adoption tests can be adopted by one of the noble families in the Kingdom of Luin and become part of them, provided they accept. There are many other tests for the other ranks in the Kingdom of Luin.

The Kingdom of Luin is one of the world's superpowers, and most current events take place there. Due to its system of governance and the selection of the ruler, social mobility within the Kingdom of Luin is very easy. As long as a person possesses sufficient competence and genius, they can even become a royal prince and compete for the throne. This makes the Kingdom of Luin a paradise for every outcast and unaccepted person in this world.

The Continent of Geniuses is primarily 12 million square kilometers in size. In the north, there is a giant glacial region covering 4 million square kilometers. In the central north, there is a massive mountain range with a long history. This range acts like a wall, separating the lower and upper parts of the north. Four roads have been carved through this mountain to facilitate movement and transportation between the lower and upper northern regions. Further down the central region, which also covers 4 million square kilometers, lies a manually plowed river in the shape of a plus sign. This river flows from the center to the north, south, east, and west, serving as a primary means of transporting goods on the Continent of Geniuses. It is indeed enormous, but not so vast as to consume the entire area. The central region also boasts an ideal agricultural environment with numerous lakes and farms. There are 12 mountains in the central region, sculpted by erosion. The central region of the continent is also covered with forests and vegetation, thanks to the long river that connects the north, south, east, and west to the center. Finally, the south is a desert environment that stretches across the entire continent. The southern part of the Genius Continent comprises 4 million square kilometers. This region is characterized by more mountains than the northern and central parts, boasting numerous mountain ranges and towering peaks. The river connecting the center of the continent to the south, east, west, and north is now surrounded by dense forests as it flows south. In the eastern part of the Genius Continent, there are many sacred mountains that serve as the center of a church belonging to one of the continent's religions. In the southern part of the Genius Continent, a causeway connects the center to the rest of the continent. The section of this causeway located in the western part of the continent contains dozens of different
