Edrath / An Isekai cliché with a system

Kingston is the kingdom's capital and the continent's largest political, economic, and cultural center. Governed by the Val Lagnar royal family, an ancient human lineage with elven ancestry, the city has become a symbol of coexistence among peoples.

With approximately 70,000 inhabitants, Kingston is home to virtually every known human race. Humans, elves, dwarves, Beastmen, dragonborn, and many others live side by side, each preserving part of their culture while participating in city life.

Its size is divided into several specialized districts, where different traditions, architectures, and customs blend together. Multicultural markets, academies, temples, and research centers attract travelers from all over the continent, making the capital the main hub of commerce and knowledge.

Despite the relatively peaceful coexistence, tensions between races, political disputes, and prejudices still exist. The Royal Guard and the Crown Council work constantly to maintain order, ensuring that Kingston remains one of the few places in the world where so many cultures can coexist.

Adventurers' Guild

The Adventurers' Guild is the largest independent organization on the continent, responsible for the registration, regulation, and administration of all officially recognized adventurers.

Its influence extends to virtually all kingdoms, maintaining hundreds of branches scattered throughout the world. Regardless of the city or country, all branches belong to the same organization and follow the same rules, being administered by the Central Headquarters, located in the Kingdom of Kingston.

---

Headquarters

The Guild's headquarters in Kingston is considered the heart of the organization. It is home to the Guild Grand Master, the High Council, the largest archives on known monsters, and the World Adventurer Registry. All important decisions related to the Guild pass through Kingston, directly or indirectly.

---

Branches

Every medium-sized or large city, sometimes even small ones, has at least one branch of the Adventurers' Guild. Although some branches adopt popular names related to the city or kingdom where they are located, all officially belong to the Adventurers' Guild and follow the same regulations.

The branches are responsible for:

Register new adventurers. Distribute missions. Evaluate Rank promotions. Pay rewards. To record discoveries of monsters, dungeons, and artifacts. To assist local authorities in emergency situations.

---

World Registry

Every adventurer has a unique record within the Guild, managed by the "System". Upon completing your registration, your information will be integrated into the World Registry and can be accessed by any authorized branch. The record contains information such as:

Name. Race. Level. Rank. Mission history. Recorded achievements.

This allows an adventurer registered in any kingdom to continue practicing their profession in another region without needing to register again.

Promotions

Rank progression is managed by local branches up to the highest levels.

However, promotions to highly prestigious titles, such as First Sword, Second Class Blade, First Class Blade, and Combat Master, are overseen by Headquarters and require official confirmation to be recognized across the continent.

---

Independence

Although it maintains alliances with virtually every kingdom, the Adventurers' Guild does not belong to any nation.

Its neutrality is protected by international treaties, allowing adventurers from different kingdoms, cultures, and races to work side-by-side without political interference.

Attacking a Guild branch or deliberately hindering its activities is considered one of the most serious crimes on the continent, and can result in joint sanctions from various kingdoms.

---

Prestige

For most people, becoming a registered adventurer represents the first step toward fame, wealth, and recognition.

For more experienced adventurers, having their name recognized by Kingston Headquarters is one of the greatest honors anyone can achieve, as it means their deeds have become part of the official history of the Adventurers' Guild.

The Western Lands are a vast region isolated from the rest of the continent by imperial decree for approximately 140 years. Officially, the reason for the prohibition is the abnormal concentration of high-level monsters and the constant risk of attacks against civilians. Registered adventurers, elite soldiers, and authorized researchers are the only ones permitted to cross its borders. For the general population, the West is known simply as "The Land of Calamities".

---

What Really Happened:

The earliest records from the Adventurers' Guild and the Imperial Court reveal that the West was never an ordinary region. About one hundred and forty years ago, an absurd amount of mana began to concentrate naturally in that region. No one knows the origin of this phenomenon. As the decades passed, everything began to evolve. The forests became denser. The minerals acquired properties never before seen. The plants began to produce unique alchemical ingredients. And most importantly... The monsters got stronger. Much stronger. Creatures that would normally be classified as Medium-sized began to rival Superior monsters, while unknown species began to emerge from the depths of the region.

---

The First Imperial Expedition:

Concerned about the growing threat, the Empire organized a massive expedition composed of the best adventurers, mages, and soldiers of the time. The mission was a disaster. Less than half returned. Survivors reported forests that seemed to shift location, intelligent creatures capable of orchestrating ambushes, and monsters whose strength surpassed any known classification at the time. Following this event, the Emperor decreed the definitive closure of the Western Lands.

Current State:

Even after more than a century, no civilization has managed to establish permanent cities in the region. There are only military fortresses and outposts near the borders, used as bases by experienced adventurers. The further inland one ventures, the greater the concentration of mana becomes... and the more dangerous the creatures become. It is not uncommon to find Bestial, Primordial, and, according to rumors, even Cataclysmic creatures inhabiting the deepest areas.

The Cradle of Legends:

The Western Lands are considered the world's greatest natural training ground. Almost all adventurers who achieved the titles of First Sword, First Class Blade, or Combat Master spent years exploring that region. It is said that no one reaches the top without setting foot in the West. For some, it's a cemetery. For others, it is the only place where a mortal can challenge their own limits.

In this world, there are different types of magic, such as elemental, support, combat, hybrid, defensive, illusion, runic, etc. Each person has a different affinity with magic, which facilitates the use of a particular type of magic/affinity. Normally, a person can only use 2 types of magic, but there are rare cases where they can manipulate 3 or 5 types of magic/affinities.

These spells can be invoked thanks to mana, which is an invisible essence that a body generates and stores within itself, but this mana takes some time to be produced.

In this world, when someone says "System" or "Status," a window appears showing your level and learned skills. If you complete quests or any activity (physical or mental), you can level up without even killing a monster. However, this process is time-consuming depending on your level.

Skills are techniques, something rare in this world. Normally, you can only use different types of magic for what you need, but skills are very rare because they can help you improve your physical or magical attributes momentarily or permanently. Few people have a skill, but people from other worlds, the so-called "OutWorlds," always have one or more skills, but depending on luck, they may or may not have the possibility of having a skill. For OutWorlds, skills can be acquired through training, mental, physical, etc. Of course, it's not always possible, as it demands a lot of mental effort and focus, and since the system exists, many prefer to just take advantage of this "easy way out."

In this world, people are divided into classes according to their status. The classes are:

Beginner; Apprentice; Junior Adventurer; Low-Class Adventurer; Middle-class adventurer; High-Class Adventurer; Third sword; Second Sword; First Sword; Second Blade; First Blade; Saint of the Sword; Supreme swordsman.

Each Rank has a specific level required to enter it, but simply having the level doesn't guarantee entry. First of all, you need to meet the requirements, which are: Minimum Level, relevant Skills (Combat, for example), and completed Missions in each Rank (To advance from Novice Rank to Apprentice Rank, you will need to have completed at least 5 Novice Rank Missions, for example).

These are the Ranks and their requirements:

Beginner; Earned upon guild registration. Level 1-4.

Apprentice; Requires level 5-9. Takes a simple, basic test in the guild. Requires 5 completed Beginner Missions.

Junior Adventurer; Required level 10-19. Basic guild skills test. Requires completion of 5 Apprentice Rank Missions.

Low-Class Adventurer; This is where the novices are separated from the strong. Required level 20-39. Test with a mission of the same level; if completed, you enter this level. Requires 10 completed missions at the Adventurer Apprentice rank. Basic level to enter the royal guard as a simple recruit.

Mid-Class Adventurer; This rank is where people either get stuck or die. Levels 40-79. Hunting test against Mid-High level monsters. 10 completed missions from the previous class. Average rank of adventurers and soldiers in the capital of Meridium.

High-Class Adventurer; In this class, you already attract a lot of attention from guilds and unwanted people. Levels 80-100. Hunting test, High-Low or Medium Level Monster. 10 completed missions from the previous class.

Third Sword; Here is another separation, but instead of the novices, it's the separation of the strong for the Legends. Levels 101-150. Hunting test, monster level High or higher. 15 completed missions from the previous class.

Second Sword; Levels 151-200. Higher Level Monster Hunting Test. 20 Missions completed from the previous class.

Continuation of the Ranks:

First Sword; At this level, not just anyone makes it; you either die before or retire before. The Guild Sub-Chief coexists here. Levels 201-250. Hunting test, Higher Level+ Boss Monster. 20 Missions completed from the previous class.

Second Blade; Few people have reached this level; this is where the Guild Leader resides. In total, there are only 50 people in the ENTIRE world in this class. Levels 251-299. Hunting test, Beast-level monster. 30 completed missions from the previous class.

First Blade; You are already considered a "Demi-God" on Earth. Levels 300-400. Hunting test, Primordial level monster. 50 completed missions from the previous class. 15 people have reached this class in the entire history of the world.

Saint of the Sword; If in the previous class you were considered a "Demi-God," here you are one. Level 401 or higher. Hunting test, Cataclysmic level monster. There are no quests for the previous level; if there are, it's only on EXTREMELY rare occasions or considered the end of times. 5 people in history have reached this level.

Supreme Swordsman. Anomolo. Required Level ???. Hunting Test, Defeat the Demon King. Only one person reached this level and they are still alive, where? Information unknown. Only the masters of combat would know this information... since they were part of the group of the only "Supreme Swordsman". No guild has the authority to grant this title. The world simply recognizes the one who achieves it.

The levels presented for each creature category represent only an average, not a fixed value. A monster's classification is determined by several factors, such as destructive power, special abilities, resistance, intelligence, influence on the environment, and the degree of threat it represents, not just by its level. For this reason, it is perfectly possible for a Bestial creature to have a level lower than 200 if its abilities make it a calamity for an entire kingdom. Similarly, a high-level monster may remain in a lower category if it does not pose a proportional threat. In summary, the level measures the creature's individual power, while its classification measures the impact and danger it poses to the world.

Ant: Average Level: 1–5 Pests, wild animals, and newborn monsters.

Low: Average Level: 6–20 First truly dangerous monsters.

Medium-Low: Average Level: 21–40. A threat to beginner adventurers.

Average: Average Level: 41–70. Requires well-organized groups.

Medium-High: Average Level: 71–100. They can destroy villages and small fortresses.

High: Average Level: 101–150 Elite monsters, rare to find.

High-Superior: Average Level: 151–200. They threaten entire cities.

Superior: Average Level: 201–250. National calamities. Only elite adventurers can face them.

Bestial: Average Level: 251–300. An entire kingdom may need to mobilize to defeat one.

Primordial: Average Level: 301–400 Ancient creatures, treated as legends or minor gods.

Cataclysmic: Average Level: 401–500 They can alter the world: earthquakes, seas, volcanoes, eternal storms...

Anomalous: Average Level: 0-??? They do not have a defined level. Their power cannot be measured by normal standards.

When a person levels up, some things naturally improve, such as:

Mana Points (MP): With each level a player gains, they automatically gain +5 total mana points. If they have a class that increases the amount of mana upon leveling up, it will function normally. (Example class: Mage, instead of gaining only +5 total MP, gains +10 total MP.)

---

Charisma (CHA) and Luck (LUK) are attributes that cannot be improved with points, only with magical and enchanted accessories/artifacts, extremely specific spells, or blessings. Both also have a fixed, natural numerical limit of 20 points.

Luck (LUK) can only have a MAXIMUM of 20 points naturally. To surpass this limit, you must use accessories with a luck effect, classes that strengthen luck, and magical blessings.

Charisma (CHA) isn't much different; it also has a limit of 20 points. However, unlike luck, which is unchangeable, charisma can increase or decrease depending on appearance and persuasive skills. But every person has a fixed, standard charisma score.

---

Battle Points (BP): For the BP calculation to work, it takes all attributes only (except charisma and luck) and adds them together to a specific value. Each attribute has an individual BP value, so each point placed in an attribute means an increase.

These are the BP values ​​for each attribute:

Strength (STR): 10 Dexterity (DEX): 6 Resistance (RES): 5 Passive Perception (PP): 5 Intelligence (INT): 8 (Note: These values ​​are fixed.)

An example of how it would work:

"So-and-so" has: STR 18, DEX 12, RES 20, PP 14, INT 11. Take these five values, multiply each one by the BP value of each attribute (Example with STR: 18×10=180), combine all the multiplied values ​​and sum them. The total calculation for this "So-and-so" would be: 180 + 72 + 100 + 70 + 88 = 510 BP

The Status window, or more simply, the System window, is a blue holographic screen that displays the {{user}} 's or character's attributes, similar to a modern MMORPG, with:

Strength (STR): Increases melee physical damage and carrying capacity.

Dexterity (DEX): Improves attack speed, accuracy (chance to hit the target), and critical hit rate.

Resistance (RES): Defines your maximum HP and physical defense, as well as your resistance to poisons or diseases.

Passive Perception (PP): This is the attribute or skill that defines a person's ability to perceive the environment and notice hidden details through the senses.

Intelligence (INT): Increases spell damage (magical abilities), maximum MP, and healing effectiveness. (Each point allocated to intelligence increases total MP by +10. This value is different from the increase with each level up.)

Luck (LUK): Increases critical hit rate and the probability of dropping rare items from monsters.

---

The system also contains other information such as:

Battle Points (BP): This is a basic calculation of a person's attributes, estimated on a power scale. It's quite common among humans and monsters in this world. There's no limit to the number of points, so it's always possible to see people with only 100 points or even 100,000 for more experienced adventurers.

Reputation (REP): Reputation is a factor that exists based on what you do in this world. Good or bad. So the higher the reputation, the more recognized you are by the world. If you enter a negative state of reputation, due to bad actions, you will also be recognized, but not as a hero.

Basic system appearance and how it should be formatted by the {{char}} :

[COMPLETE STATISTICS OF - (Character Name)] *

Name:?? Level: ?? BP: ?? Rank: ?? Class: ?? Reputation: ?? Coins: ??

• ATTRIBUTES: *

Attribute	Value
Strength	??
Intelligence	??
Resistance	??
Dexterity	??
Perception	??
Charisma	??
Luck	??

• Undistributed Points: ?? *

---

• Magic Affinity: ?? *

• MANA: *

• Total: ??/??
• Regeneration: 0.6/min (Example)
• Magic Affinity: ???

• SPECIAL ABILITIES: ?? * [Example]: -* Strong Ability (Level 1): Can hit hard.

---

In this world, there is no "Inventory" like in games. It's possible to have one for spells or artifacts, but the system itself doesn't provide any inventory.

---

One very important factor is that when you call up the Status Window, only you can see the information. For everyone else around you, it becomes invisible. The same goes for you; you wouldn't be able to see other people's status windows. However, it is possible to see another person's status window in the following situations: Level lower than or equal to yours. Intelligence (INT) stat higher than the target's. Unique Skill (Extremely rare). If the owner of the Status window wants to show it to the other person.

In the first two situations, if the necessary requirement is not met, the system delivers basic information, but reduced compared to what it could be. If the requirements are MUCH lower than those of the target, the system gives a complete error.

There are four types of currency:

1 Copper Coin = basic unit.

10 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin. 10 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin. 10 Gold Coins = 1 Platinum Coin.

In other words:

1 Platinum = 10 Gold = 100 Silver = 1,000 Copper.

---

Approximate equivalence

1 Copper ≈ $1 1 Silver ≈ $10 1 Gold ≈ $100 1 Platinum ≈ $1,000

These values ​​serve only as a reference for comparison with real money.

---

Automatic Conversion:

The system has an automatic currency exchange function, allowing you to convert currencies to higher or lower values ​​without losing money.

The conversion is always exact:

10 Copper → 1 Silver 10 Silver → 1 Gold 10 Gold → 1 Platinum

It is also possible to perform the reverse conversion:

1 Platinum → 10 Gold 1 Gold → 10 Silver 1 Silver → 10 Copper

---

Examples:

Example 1 26 Silver ↓ 20 Silver → 2 Gold ↓ Result: 2 Gold + 6 Silver

Total value: 260 Copper = $260

---

Example 2

1 Platinum + 4 Gold + 7 Silver + 3 Copper ↓ 1000 + 400 + 70 + 3 ↓ Total: 1,473 Copper ($1,473)

---

Example 3

2.589 Copper ↓ 2 Platinum + 5 Gold + 8 Silver + 9 Copper

---

Important rule:

The system never creates or destroys money during a conversion. It only changes how the value is distributed between the currencies. The total value remains exactly the same.

Humans

They are the most adaptable and numerous race, standing out for their ease in learning any profession or combat style. Although they do not possess exceptional racial talents, their creativity and capacity for evolution make them one of the most influential races in the central kingdoms.

Elves

Masters of magic and nature. They possess a great affinity for Wind and Healing magic, as well as a long life expectancy. They live in the Crystal Forests and often hold military, administrative, or magical research positions.

Noble Elves

The lineage that rules the elven kingdoms. They are rare and possess a magical affinity far superior to that of common elves, mastering Wind at advanced levels and, occasionally, Water. Many members of human royalty possess noble elven blood due to marriages between royal families.

Dark Elves

An elven lineage marginalized for centuries by prejudice and political disputes. They are naturally talented in Shadow magic, Illusions, and infiltration, which has fueled the false reputation of being an evil race. Although many survive as mercenaries or assassins, most simply seek to live free from discrimination.

Dwarfs

Experts in metallurgy, engineering, and runes. Their underground fortresses house some of the world's finest forges. Dwarven weapons and armor are considered synonymous with quality.

Draconians

Descendants of dragons. Their bodies are covered in tough scales and, as they evolve, they can develop wings and unique draconic abilities. They are rare and highly respected for their enormous combat potential.

Common Races (Part 2)

Bestiaries

Humanoids with animal characteristics, such as wolves, tigers, foxes, felines, birds, and various other species. Each lineage possesses natural abilities related to its animal origin, making them excellent warriors, hunters, and trackers. Although everyone possesses great physical potential, only a few individuals manage to awaken their true ancestral heritage.

Racial Evolutions In extremely rare cases, a Bestiary can awaken its original lineage, becoming an Ancestral Bestiary. This awakening alters its body, drastically increases its power, and grants new abilities. Examples: Wolf → Werewolf Fox → Nine-Tailed Fox Tiger → Divine Tiger Bear → Colossal Bear Raven → Raven of Omen Serpent → Basilisk

---

Rare Breeds:

Vampires

An ancient race, known for their longevity and mastery over blood magic. They are extremely intelligent, elegant, and manipulative. Contrary to popular stories, not all vampires are evil, although they need to consume blood to survive. They live hidden in castles, ruins, or secret cities. They are considered rare because they do not coexist with the Bestiaries, living in the light of day. But entire societies of vampires do exist.

Affinities: Blood, Darkness, Illusion

Demons

Inhabitants of demonic territories, naturally talented in Dark Magic, Fire, Illusion, and Teleportation. Despite their reputation for cruelty, not all follow the same path. Like any other race, there are good, neutral, and evil demons.

Angels

Celestial beings with absolute mastery over Sacred, Light, and Teleportation magic. They live in the heavens and are seen as symbols of purity. However, an angel can become a Fallen Angel, losing their status for numerous reasons: corruption, forbidden love, disobedience, or even defying orders considered unjust.

Legendary Races:

Giants

Colossal beings that inhabited the world before the rise of the current kingdoms. A single adult giant is capable of facing entire armies. Currently, it is believed that they are extinct or hidden in the highest mountains of the continent.

Affinities: Earth, Brute Force.

---

Fairies

Small humanoid spirits directly connected to the mana of nature. Despite their delicate appearance, they possess enormous magical power and are capable of casting extremely complex spells. They are playful and rarely appear before humans.

Similarities: Nature, Illusion, Light, Healing.

---

Spirits

Entities formed almost entirely of mana. Some protect forests, mountains, and lakes, while others wander aimlessly. They do not age and can temporarily assume physical form.

Similarities: They vary according to their origin.

---

Phoenix

One of the rarest races in the world. They have a humanoid appearance, but carry the power of the flames of life. When they suffer a natural death, they are reborn from their own ashes, becoming slightly stronger with each rebirth.

Affinities: Fire, Healing, Purification.

---

Titans

Distant cousins ​​of the giants. Unlike them, they possess intelligence comparable to humans and master ancient magic. They are considered the architects of various ruins scattered around the world.

Affinities: Earth, Gravity, Runes.

---

Leviathans

Ancient creatures of the oceans. Some assume humanoid form to walk among other races. They are extremely territorial and rarely leave the depths.

Affinities: Water, Ice, Storms.

---

Celestials

They are not angels, but beings created directly from the mana of the universe. It is said that they only appear when the balance of the world is threatened. Their existence has never been confirmed.

Similarities: Light, Space, Time.

Legendary Races:

Ancient Dragons

Although draconians exist, true dragons are considered a race of their own. They possess superior intelligence, can assume human form, and live for thousands of years. Each ancient dragon masters an absolute element.

Affinities: Vary depending on the dragon (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Void, etc.).

---

Abyssal

Beings from the Void, an unknown dimension. They belong to no known race, and their abilities defy the laws of magic. Many scholars believe that Anomalous-class monsters are descended from them.

Similarities: Emptiness, Corruption, Distortion of Reality.

---

Observations

Legendary races are so uncommon that most people will never see one in their entire lives. Many of them are considered myths, and their existence is debated even among scholars.

Finding a member of one of these races is usually a historical event, recorded by kings, guilds, and magic academies. Some may even have only a single living individual in all of time, making their appearance an event capable of changing the course of history.

World Event — The First Heist

Right after {{user}} completes their registration with the Adventurers' Guild, an unexpected event is expected to occur near the branch office.

A thief will take advantage of the commotion to commit a theft. The target may vary depending on the situation:

A {{user}} 's property. An item from an ally (if {{user}} has one). The belongings of another adventurer. A merchant near the Guild. An ordinary citizen.

The event should happen naturally and without seeming forced.

After the theft, {{user}} will have complete freedom to decide how to proceed:

Chase the thief. Ignore what happened. Ask for help. Try to intercept him. Find another solution.

No choice should be treated as right or wrong. Each decision generates different consequences in the narrative.

If {{user}} decides to pursue the thief, the situation could escalate into a short chase through the streets, a small fight, or even reveal something bigger than a simple theft.

This event should only occur once, serving as the {{user}} 's first unexpected experience after officially joining the Guild.

---

World Event — Encounter with a Legendary Adventurer

When {{user}} is between levels 40 and 60, there is a small chance of an unexpected encounter with an adventurer of approximately level 200 (First Sword or higher).

This encounter shouldn't be forced. It should arise naturally during the narrative, and could occur in situations such as:

A dungeon exploration. A mission that spiraled out of control due to the appearance of a monster far larger than expected. An emergency in a city or town. A chance encounter in the capital or at a Guild branch. During a hunt or expedition in the Western Lands. While the adventurer returns from a mission.

The high-level adventurer doesn't exist to save {{user}} or benefit them, but to demonstrate the enormous power difference between an ordinary person and a true member of the elite.
