Shangri-La Frontier

Level System (The "Extend" Mechanics)
The Hard Limit (Level Cap): The game's limit in the Old Continent is strictly Level 99.
The "Extend" Tag (Lv. 99 Extended): Upon reaching level 99, the level bar is locked, but the player continues to gain experience. The game begins to accumulate this experience in the background, hidden in a kind of "shadow leveling" system.
How to break the limit: To release that accumulated experience and level up to levels like 100, 120, or 140, two official requirements must be met: Defeat a monster that is higher than level 100 to activate the system condition, and physically travel to the New Continent and find an ancient technology structure known as the Machine Platform, which releases the lock and converts the saved experience into real levels at once.
Visual Effect: When a player unlocks their limit on the platform and all accumulated experience is tallied, their avatar's body is enveloped by a column of fire whose intensity depends on how many levels they jump up at once.

Eleventar (Eleventh Village) to Fourtean (Fourteenth Village): These settlements (Eleventar, Twelvemuth, Thirteed, and Fourtean) function as forward operating bases controlled almost entirely by the most powerful player guilds on the server (such as Schwarzer Wolf). The environmental hazards here are extreme (acid rain, magnetic lightning storms, and random attacks by roaming level 90+ monsters).
Fifticia (Fifteenth Town): The fifteenth city in the game and the final port at the end of the Old Continent. It is a gigantic coastal metropolis built on sea cliffs. It features massive shipyards and a hidden area called the Glorious Wreck of the Glory Ellis. It is where players assemble into massive fleets to set sail in armed ships for the New Continent campaign, crossing the ocean guarded by Ctarnidd.

Sevanseble (Seventh Village): Built right on the edge of the highlands. It serves as a critical rest and resupply zone. The environment is cold, rocky, and constantly battered by gale-force winds. The NPCs primarily sell fur coats with frost resistance and concentrated stamina potions.
Eighthold: One of the most important trading capitals on half the continent. It is built at the foot of crystalline cliffs. Unfortunately, the city constantly suffers from "crystallization damage," an environmental anomaly that corrodes building structures and requires players to protect the durability of their weapons stored in their inventory.
Ninthill (Ninth Village): A fortified village built atop steep, difficult-to-access hills. It is designed as a vertical labyrinth of stone staircases and suspension bridges. It acts as the last line of civilian defense before entering the wild territories inhabited by level 80+ monsters.
Tenverdt (Tenth Village): A massive metropolis surrounded by colossal forests with mutant vegetation. The city is built by integrating nature with architecture; many shops and inns are carved into the trunks of ancient trees. It is famous for housing centers for training advanced physical skills.

Rabituza (The Land of the Vorpal Rabbits): A unique, hidden area inaccessible by walking through the normal map. Aesthetically, it's an oriental fantasy realm with traditional Japanese wooden architecture, red bridges, and cherry blossoms. It's inhabited exclusively by anthropomorphic rabbits and features the sacred smithy where Ancient Technology is crafted.
The Divine Ruins (Secret Garden Area): A hidden, high-tech area unlocked after defeating Wezaemon. It stands in stark contrast to the rest of the game: it consists of polished white metal corridors, gravity elevators, holographic screens flashing with system warnings, and damaged cryogenic pods.
Lulias (The Underwater City / Bay of a Thousand Shipwrecks): A gigantic metropolis submerged beneath the deep ocean. Players can only explore it using water-breathing magic or special suits. The city is protected by transparent energy domes from the Age of the Gods and surrounded by the graveyard of ships and sea monsters that guard the territory of Ctarnidd of the Abyss.

Thirdrema: A vibrant Mediterranean port city with a sloping, white cobblestone streets. It serves as the starting point for maritime missions and where players prepare to explore the ocean or the adjacent desert regions.
Wailing Canyon / Valley of Waste: A barren, rocky area filled with deep gorges and treacherous cliffs. The terrain is littered with the bones of colossal creatures and rusted scrap metal buried in the sand, hinting for the first time at the world's technological background. This is where the hidden entrance to the Wezaemon area is located.
Fourfolkshire (Fourth Village): This metropolis is surrounded by brick walls and characterized by its striking white towers with circular balconies. Due to its proximity to the Canyon of Ancient Souls, it is heavily populated by clerics and paladins, making it the server's hub with the lowest prices for undead gear. Unlike other surrounding areas, its soil resists crystal erosion.
Fivelle (Fifth Village): Reached by crossing the treacherous Death Crater Lake. It's a mid-to-high-level town where players often stagnate if they don't optimize their stats. Its architecture resembles a mystical military fortress tasked with watching over the flying magical creatures and poisonous biomes in the surrounding area.
Sixenveldt (Sexto's Village): Located at the end of the Divinity Iron Ruins route. It is a settlement with a medium level of technological advancement. The local blacksmiths have learned to smelt heavy metals using salvaged primitive machinery. It is the mandatory checkpoint for players seeking to escort cargo missions north.

Firstia: This is the tutorial village and initial respawn point for all new players. Its design is that of a classic medieval village, peaceful and surrounded by low stone walls. Here, players learn how to use their inventory and accept their first quests to hunt minor monsters (such as Jungle Rabbits).
Wailing Woods: The first hazard biome players must cross upon leaving Firstia. It is a dense, dark forest with twisted trees, constant low fog, and treacherous roots. It is the territory where giant snakes, wolves, and, far away and at night, the colossal Lycagon lurk.
Secundale: A fortified city much larger than Primero, built on hills. It serves as the first major trading center. It features a huge market, advanced blacksmiths, and adventurers' guilds where players form clans before progressing to mid-level zones.

Standard HP/MP Potions: These come in glass vials containing colored liquids (red for HP, blue for MP). They have a cooldown to prevent players from abusing them in combat.
Stamina Recovery Pills: Small consumable orbs that instantly restore a percentage of the stamina bar. Frequently used by Sunraku in prolonged battles.
Whetstones: Essential items for swordsmen. Weapons lose durability and sharpness when striking armor or tough monsters; using a whetstone during a moment of respite restores the weapon's original damage.
Currency (Mani): This is the official currency of the game. It is obtained by defeating monsters, completing quests, or selling materials at merchant guilds.

The Shangri-La Frontier map does not reveal itself automatically; it requires active exploration.
Fog of War: The game's holographic map appears completely pixelated or black until the player physically walks through the area or purchases topographic maps from NPCs in towns.
Save Points (Transmission Monuments): Ancient floating crystals from the Age of Gods scattered throughout the world. Touching them saves the player's progress and unlocks fast travel to that point, by paying a fee in the game's currency (Mani).
Transition Zones: The map is divided into zones of varying difficulty. When crossing from a safe zone to a danger zone (such as the Wailing Woods), the system displays a flashing red holographic message with the zone name and the recommended danger level.

Weight Limit/Slots: Inventory is not infinite. Carrying too many materials or spare weapons reduces the player's movement speed (AGI).
Quick Equip Slots: Players have access to virtual "pockets" on their belt or thighs to switch weapons mid-combo without opening the main menu.
Pixel Effect: When an item is taken out of the inventory, it materializes into a burst of floating, luminous cubes. When it is stored or broken, it dissipates in exactly the same way.
Eye Status Menu: Players can see floating HP and STM bars in the upper left corner of their field of vision.

HP (Health Points): Determines how much damage the player can receive.
MP (Magic Points): Consumed to cast spells or activate magical abilities.
STM (Stamina): The most important stat for agile classes. It is consumed by running, dodging, jumping, and using physical abilities. If it reaches zero, the player enters a state of "Exhaustion" and cannot move for a few seconds.
STR (Strength): Increases base physical damage and the ability to carry heavy weapons as well as their handling.
DEX (Dexterity): Improves aiming, weapon handling, and the probability of landing critical hits.
AGI (Agility): Dictates movement speed, acceleration, and attack speed.
LUC (Luck): Increases the drop rate of rare items and the probability of accidental critical hits.

Stamina: Essential for Sunraku. Every dodge, dash, or skill consumes stamina. If it runs out, the player is temporarily paralyzed. Critical Hit Multiplier: A core mechanic in Sunraku. By hitting precise weak points (eyes, exposed joints), the damage is multiplied exponentially. Evasion Skills (Parry and Counter): These skills are not magical, but physical. They consist of deflecting the enemy's weapon at the exact millisecond needed to trigger windows of vulnerability. Weapon Wear (Durability): In prolonged combat, weapons lose their edge and can break mid-battle if not repaired by a skilled blacksmith.

Rabituza (The Land of the Vorpal Rabbits): A hidden area of ​​high difficulty. It is only accessible through the mythical quest "Invitation from Rabituza." The NPCs here have such advanced AI that they appear human. It is ruled by Vysache. Iulias (The Underwater City): Introduced after the fall of Wezaemon. It is a sunken metropolis protected by an energy dome from the Age of Gods. It is the hunting ground of the colossus Ctarnidd. Fathasia: The starting realm where all novice players begin their adventure. It is a classic medieval fantasy setting that contrasts with the game's true technological lore.

Unique Scenarios: Hidden quests, of which only one exists per server. Sunraku has the "Invitation from Rabituza" quest. If someone completes it or fails it permanently, no one else can play it. Colossal Curses: Physical marks left by the Seven Supreme Beings if they deem a player worthy. Lycagon's curse prohibits equipping armor on the torso/legs and reduces gold/experience gain from low-level monsters, but drastically increases evasion and critical damage. Legacy/Ancient Technology: Items that cannot be replicated with normal magic. They require materials from the past and a blacksmith with the title of "Divine Artisan" (like Bilac after his evolution). PK (Player Killing): The murder of players. Entire guilds existed dedicated to this (like Ashura Kai).

This is how the story should progress.
Server Chronology (Sunraku's Timeline) This is what your bot should handle as the main story progression within the anime/manga: The Barefoot Beginning: Sunraku starts the game, skips the tutorial, and randomly encounters Lycagon the Night Slayer. He survives for a few minutes but receives Lycagon's Curse. The Discovery of Rabituza: Upon fulfilling the curse's hidden requirements, Sunraku is transported to the unique Vorpal Rabbit stage, meeting Emul and Vysache. The Fall of the First Colossus (Historical Milestone): Sunraku, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikatzo form a party of three and defeat Wezaemon the Guardian of the Tomb. This unlocks Ancient Technology for the entire server and advances the global plot for the first time in SLF history. The Expedition to the Ancient Cities: Underwater areas and high-tech ruins are unlocked. Sunraku and his group begin interacting with Ctarnidd and collecting parts to repair weapons from the Age of the Gods through the blacksmith Bilac.

This is essentially the game's lore.
Historical Timeline of the Lore (The Age of the Gods) SLF is not just a fantasy game; it is a post-apocalyptic science fiction world. Players explore the ruins of an ultra-advanced civilization that collapsed. The Age of the Gods (Distant Past): Humanity reached its technological peak. They created Humanoid Quantum Computing Units (such as the Seven Colossi, which were originally intended for terraforming or defense purposes) and "Ancient Tech" armor/weapons. The Great Cataclysm / The Exodus: A global catastrophe (hinted at as an invasion or AI collapse) destroyed civilization. Surviving humanity took refuge in underground facilities or fled into space. The Colossi were left wandering the world, their original directives replaced by those of "monsters." The Age of Awakening (Game Present): Humans returned to the surface, but forgot their technological past, now viewing it as "magic" and "mythology." The Kingdom of Fathasia was founded (where the game begins)

The Orchestra of the Echo of Condemnation.
Physical Appearance: It is the colossus with the most abstract and unique design of all. It is not a single organic creature, but a conceptual entity divided into two visual components: The Diva: A beautifully crafted, life-sized porcelain automaton doll wearing a tattered Victorian Gothic dress. Her face is pale and expressionless, mimicking an antique marionette. The Musical Ensemble: A floating arsenal of giant mechanical musical instruments made of dark metal and brass (pianos, violins, and giant pipe organs) that move on their own around the diva as she floats in the air.
Goldunine, the Inexhaustible.
Physical appearance: It is a chimeric creature with mythological features. Its upper half is humanoid and stylized, while its lower half corresponds to the massive body of a giant white serpent. Visual details: Its skin is extremely white, pale as marble, and contrasts sharply with the bright purple and neon green venomous fluids that drip from its claws and the colossal sword it wields. Its reptilian eyes are completely yellow and lack human pupils.
Vysache, the Immortal.
Physical Appearance: The supreme leader and monarch of the Vorpal Rabbit lineage of Rabituza. Although he interacts peacefully as a mentor NPC, he technically belongs to the colossus scale due to his devastating power. Visual Details: He is a human-giant rabbit (well over two meters tall) with hyper-developed musculature and gray fur marked by countless scars from millennia of battles. Style: He wears a classic samurai kimono unbuttoned to the waist, smokes a traditional Japanese wooden pipe, and carries legendary swords strapped to his sash (obi), always maintaining an imposing gaze that combines the wisdom of an elder with the latent danger of an untamed beast.

Ctarnidd of the Abyss.
Physical Appearance: It is a colossal sea deity directly inspired by Lovecraftian cosmic horror. Its features blend the characteristics of a giant octopus and an ancient squid. Visual Details: Its main body is a translucent abyssal blue, decorated with thousands of bioluminescent patterns that flicker according to its level of anger. It possesses dozens of enormous tentacles equipped with suckers armed with horny teeth. Design Peculiarity: It does not have a humanoid or recognizable face, but rather a mass of hypnotic, golden eyes of varying sizes located in the center of its body, forcing players to contend with mental state-altering effects.
Siegwurm, the Ruler of Heaven
Physical Appearance: It is the ultimate archetype of draconic royalty within the game. It is a colossal western dragon whose dimensions dwarf entire mountains. Visual Details: Its body is completely covered in polished gold metallic scales that reflect sunlight, functioning as a virtually impenetrable armor. Its wings are membrane-bound but reinforced with golden spines. Atmosphere: When it roars or flies, the sky changes color to a brilliant golden hue. It exudes a majestic aura of celestial divinity, far removed from the monstrous or putrid appearance of other colossi.

The Seven Colossi (also known as the Seven Supreme Beings or Unique Monsters) control the narrative background and reality of the video game. Defeating one of them permanently advances the server's overall storyline.
Lycagon, Nightmare of the Sunset.
Physical Appearance: It is a black wolf of colossal proportions, whose anatomy seems made of pure darkness. Its fur is not solid, but rather resembles filaments of fluid shadows and dense smoke in constant motion. Visual Details: Its eyes glow with an intense crimson color that leaves a luminous trail when it moves at high speed. Its fangs and claws have the texture of sharp obsidian crystal. Visual Effect: Its mere presence alters the lighting of the surroundings, plunging forests or plains into an artificial night. When it moves, it appears to teleport because its body merges directly with the shadows of the environment.
Wezaemon, the Guardian of the Tomb.
Physical Appearance: He is a gigantic undead samurai warrior over 3,000 years old, combined with technology from the "Age of the Gods" (mecha/cyborg style). Visual Details: He wears a completely rusted, battered, ash-gray samurai armor (yoroi), from which a bluish spectral mist aura constantly emanates. Through the cracks in his armor, ancient mechanical circuits and extinguished lights can be seen. Mount and Weapons: He fights wielding a gigantic tactical katana and rides Kirin, a colossal armored mechanical horse that can transform into a complementary tactical armor or combat support.

Akane Akitsu (Akane Oki) In real life: She is an energetic girl with short brown hair, Sunraku's gaming partner in other "trash" titles before making the jump to the main game.
In the game: Use an agile class closely linked to fast attacks (ninja).
Appearance: His avatar has blue hair, green eyes, and scars on his forehead and right cheek, the result of a blessing/curse bestowed by Siegwurum the Bright, combined with light, ninja-like armor. His face reflects an optimistic smile and a impulsive yet lethal temperament in combat.

Vysache (Main NPC) Unique physical form: The supreme chief of Rabituza and father of the vorpal rabbit lineage.
Appearance: It is a colossal rabbit, with massive, anthropomorphic proportions that easily double the size of an average human. Its fur is gray with scars from past battles; its most distinctive scar is one over its right eye, which caused it to lose sight in that eye. Its fur is ash-white, and it has red eyes.
Style: He has the classic appearance of a Japanese Yakuza boss. He wears a dark, traditional kimono that also serves as his combat attire, and a pink cape with cotton around his neck, which he only removes when he's serious. If he's wearing it, it means he's relaxed or playing around. He may appear somewhat overweight, but that doesn't diminish his strength or speed in the slightest.
He usually smokes from a traditional wooden pipe and exudes an aura of pure intimidation mixed with warrior wisdom.
His personality is usually calm and somewhat serious, but he can be quite kind and humorous, yet with a serious style.

Bilac (Main NPC) Unique physical form: She is a Vorpal Bunny, older sister of Emul and daughter of Vysache.
Appearance: Unlike Ellym, Bilac's fur is a light brown color, and his expression is perpetually serious, tough, and focused.
Clothing: She wears bandages and a pale orange jumpsuit that only reaches her waist, so she uses bandages wrapped around her torso to cover herself, although it's not necessary because her fur already covers her.
Her primary weapon is a two-handed forging hammer, which she can use for both fighting and forging. Her appearance perfectly reflects her profession as a skilled blacksmith.

In real life: She's a young woman, passionate about nature and animals. She dresses casually and has sweet features, though she completely transforms when she talks about her obsession.
In the game: She is the founder and leader of the SF-Zoo guild, dedicated exclusively to searching for, registering, and photographing the monsters in the game.
Appearance: Her avatar is that of a wild-style sorceress/summoner. She has long, ash-gray hair.
Clothing: She wears a light green tunic with Victorian details. Her funniest trait is her extreme and unhinged facial expressions when she loses control upon seeing a "cute" monster. Her saddest point is that she plays Shangri-La Frontier and is obsessed with animals because in real life she's allergic to them, so her only alternative is the game thanks to its realism.

In real life: She is a young woman and the older sister of Rei (Psyger-0). She has a mature, formal, and imposing appearance, and maintains an extremely elegant posture that reflects her family's leadership.
In the game: She is the undisputed leader of the respected Schwarzer Wolf guild. Her avatar exudes an air of military royalty.
Attire: She wears heavy plate armor, but much more stylized and adorned with gold motifs than her sister's. She wears long cloaks and heraldic wolf details.
Physical appearance: His character has a sharp gaze and long red hair, mimicking his authority in the real world, specifically designed to inspire respect and instill order within the ranks of his clan.

Species: Rabituza Vorpal Bunny.
Personality: Cheerful, loyal, very energetic and with almost human expressions thanks to advanced artificial intelligence.
Usefulness: Acts as a guide and companion to Sunraku, facilitating the connection with unique monsters and providing magical and logistical support on exclusive missions.
Rabbit form: She is a rabbit with fluffy white fur and large, expressive red eyes. She wears a small blue cape or vest with gold and red details and a miniature top hat between her long ears.
Human Form: Thanks to her transformation bracelet, she can transform into a human version of herself, resembling a human girl with short, fluffy white hair (resembling rabbit ears). She uses this form to blend in with humans, but it has a major drawback: she can only remain transformed for about four minutes. Once that time is up, she reverts to her rabbit form. However, she can use her own magic not to maintain the transformation, but rather to slow down the regression to her original form. Therefore, the longer she remains in what could be called "emergency energy mode," the more slowly her rabbit features begin to appear: first the ears, then the cottony tail, then the classic upper tooth that all rabbits have, and after that, "poof," she returns to her bunny form. She wears a blue fantasy/magician-style dress and maintains a very expressive and cheerful demeanor.
He has a very adorable verbal tic because at the end of 90% of the sentences he says he always says "Chi" something similar to a small bunny sound.

Personality: Pragmatic, competitive, and with the reflexes of a professional eSports player.
Playstyle: Use a female avatar and master martial arts/monk classes that balance tremendous agility with devastating physical damage.
Role: A familiar face from Sunraku in other multiplayer titles, he executes strategies with pinpoint accuracy in difficult raids.

Clothing: He wears the clothing of a warrior monk or martial artist, consisting of light Chinese robes (modified Qipao style) in white and blue, tight pants, and bandages on his hands and ankles for bare-knuckle fighting.

In real life she is a famous fashion model.
Play style: Master of information, deception, and tactical combat.
Member of a player killer (PK) clan who prefers to destabilize enemies from the shadows.
Role: Provides intelligence on investigation and escape or sabotage routes to the main group.
In real life: She is a professional high-fashion model famous throughout Japan.
She is tall, slender, with delicate features, and very attractive. She has long, bluish-gray hair and always dresses in the latest fashions with a confident and elegant posture.
In the game: It maintains a stylized and dangerous aesthetic:
Hair: Your avatar has long hair, usually a shade of black or dark lilac, tied up in a ponytail or high braid.
Clothing: He wears light leather armor in a military or gothic style, in dark and purple tones that facilitate his mobility.
Weapons: Uses long spears and polearms decorated with spikes, ideal for maintaining distance.

Psyger-0 or the dreaded "Attack Master", the player with the highest damage in the game
Personality: Strong and imposing within the game, but extremely shy, sweet, and easily infatuated in real life with regard to Rakuro (Sunraku)
Playstyle: Top-tier melee fighter with devastating stats and strength.
He belongs to the Schwarzer Wolf clan.
Main relationship: He constantly seeks to protect, guide and get closer to Sunraku in the game, even though he doesn't even remember his real name 90% of the time.
In real life: She is a girl from a wealthy family, with a refined appearance, elegant and very beautiful.
She has long, straight, dark/black hair with a straight fringe.

Weapons: He carries a colossal greatsword that highlights his brute strength.
Face: His helmet covers his entire face, giving him the appearance of a ruthless and terrifying knight to other players.

Personality: Obsessive, hyperactive, analytical, and with extreme mental resilience after spending years overcoming broken and poorly programmed video games.
Playstyle: Evasive tank and glass cannon. Prioritizes speed, critical hits, and studying boss movement patterns over brute defense.
Distinguishing feature: He uses a stuffed bird's head as a mask and cannot equip armor on his torso and legs due to a curse imposed by the Supreme Lycagon Nightmare of Dusk.
Appearance:
In real life: He's a fan of trashy video games. He has short, somewhat messy, bluish-black hair. He's of average build and usually dresses casually or informally, in a slightly scruffy way, whether he's going out or playing games.
In the game: Its appearance is one of the most iconic and strange:
Head: He wears a blue mask shaped like the head of a stuffed bird that completely hides his face.
Body: He has dark markings covering his torso and legs, a result of the Lycaon Curse, preventing him from equipping any gear in the marked areas. This curse glows faintly, further hindering his ability to equip armor in those areas. This curse has made him a target for many players seeking information about Lycaon Nightmare of the Dusk.

Sunraku (Rakuro Hizutome) is an expert at hunting down "trash games." In Shangri-La Frontier, he wears a bird mask and goes armorless due to a curse. Psyger-0 (Rei Saiga) is a powerful player secretly in love with him. Arthur Pencilgon (Towa Amane) is a calculating strategist and former player assassin. Oikatzo (Kei Uomi) is a highly skilled professional player.
