【SETTING】

Loredump babbyyyy, did you miss it? Caution, it's my biggest world building by far. Exceeding Asmaheim. It's like 27k tokens. So if you wanna skip, go ahead. I really went detailed, and decided to spare nothing. I tried to make it as ungeneric as possible, but hey, tropes find their way back to me anyway. This was pretty fun to write, it's my favorite world by far, mainly because I got so detailed.

I whittled it down here, the rest is in the lorebook.

.....

Stagaia, a world of magic and beauty. Mana Science and tech is on the rise. Magic in this world is exactly what it is, Magic. It can range from basic to reality breaking.

This world only has 3 continents. Valdrolt, Liuxing, and Basharma. Basharma is the largest continent, boasting a total population of 3.6 billion. Liuxing has around 1.7 billion, and Valdrolt has 1.4 billion. Liuxing is the second biggest.

The planet of Stagaia is super massive, the Three Continents are in the same timezone, but have different climates due to Mana. The Three Continents would only take up 0.21% of the entire planet.

It is the Post True Hero Era, Post Era for short, 2361 PE.

There are 7 days a week: Burtaday, Hyxenday, Pegaday, Faustiday, Jagoday, Qurzaday, and Starday. Named after the 6 Major Stars and Stargaia. Pegaday and Starday are off days for most.

There are 2 moons. Urania which orbits a bit further away, and the Crescent Moon Runia, which hovers within the upper atmosphere.

Boasting a total population of 6.7 billion intelligent lifeforms. 49 billion unintelligent lifeforms.

The reason why they can advance technologically is because during between the Cycles, Mankind advances fast enough before the Demon King comes back.

Demons

Demons often resemble human, some with horns and tails, some just appearing eerily human. Despite looking similar, the differences couldn't be anymore different. The Demons see everyone else, from Human to Giants as prey. They only negotiate if it means they get to eat them later. Sympathising with one only leads to misfortune. Demons exist in all 3 continents, though the presence of the Demon King directly influences how many Demons there are in a continent. Demons are generally very very good with magic and curses. Demons use words to seem human, to trick, to prey on the naive. They do not have feelings such as compassion, kindness, or guilt. If they appear to do, they are doing it to trick. They are the reflection of Mankind's worst without redemption. The Demon King is the accumulation of Mankind's Worst.

It is also why they are typically impossible to make peace with, because they are literally the negativity of mankind personified, with no room for good.

Miasma has the effect of corruption, which means that it causes decay of flesh, bulging of flesh, nasty effects. An individual infected by Miasma could have their limbs fall off. Effects includes worsened eye sight, excessive hearing, hallucinations, or in some cases, possession by the Miasmic Entities. This also works against Mana itself, corrupting it into Nether. What’s more, Demons are very good with magic, and can wield it alongside curses by applying their Nether. Miasmic Entities are gaseous beings that can hijack bodies.

There is no Hell Realm, because the Human Realm is Hell.

Demons typically have a society, though it's a dog eat dog world there. While Demons do work together, they also do things for their own gain. While they are the reflection of the worst, they do work together to create buildings, society, hierarchies etc. Demons mainly live underground, as the deeper levels are more saturated with Mana. They feed on the Mana to get stronger. It is constant fighting. Their Nether naturally creates Miasma, which is why lands contaminated with Miasma means that there are Demons living underground there. Yet, the Demons never touch the ones who build, cook, sew, art. Those types of Demons is what makes the Demons as a whole remotely civilised, even if they only do it because just fighting is boring.

The Demon King is at the very top. The Demon Generals are the second highest. Then there are the Captains. Demons work on a purely power based hierarchy, which means demons are always free to try to take out the higher ranked demons, and submit to the stronger ones. The Demon Generals are the ones that lead, with the Demon Captains managing the army.

Angels

Angels are the complete opposite of Demons. They resemble human, but all have wings and a halo. They are paragons of virtue, since they reflect Mankind's greatest. But this incredible kindness is a grave weakness, which leads to them getting exploited, which is why today, there are not many Angels. These Angels are not part of Heaven, as they are born from Mankind. Angels are generally good with Aether, which is a type advantage against Demons, but Nether, which Demons use is also a type disadvantage against them. Angels are always kind to a fault. Due to their immense goodness, they are kind, even to Demons, which is why Angels lose all the time, and easy to take advantage of. Though, Angels have gone into hiding today because the very Humans they wanted to save and protect exploited their energy.

Angels' rank is determined by the glow of their Halo, and number of wings they have. The brighter the Halo, and the more wings they have, the stronger they are. These Angels are known as Worldborn Angels.

The Angel Queen is the accumulation of Mankind's Greatest.

The Angels live in a hidden realm in a small island hidden away and far removed from the Three Continents. There, they live a peaceful and happy life, just getting along and doing their own thing. But, their most important jobs is saturating Spirits with Aethertrons so that the Spirits can continue the ongoing war outside the Ice Walls that had been going on for tens of thousands of years

Cycle

Hero Demon Cycle: There is always a Cycle of Heroes and Demons. They will always appear sooner or later. The signs of the Cycle is usually a huge influx of monsters, a Blood Moon during day. The true reason why there is a Cycle is a matter of Karmic Balance of The World. A way for the Sins of Mankind to be cleansed away, done by the Hero. Trial of Mankind, testing if they will unite together or fight each other because of greed etc. The Demon King is merely the amalgamation of all the negativity. Two sides of the same coin. This is why Demons cannot be reasoned with, because all they have is the negativity, and because Mankind (Humans, Elves, Dwarves etc) is the reason they exist, they want to eat them to feast on the negativity.

Past

Heaven: They are responsible for choosing Heroes. However, choosing a Hero from Stagaia requires lots of investment and resources. But then the Heavens had a good (bad) idea. By taking a Soul from another world. The reason being is that a Soul from another world tends to be easier to modify and change, much more easy to give powerful abilities to without heavy investment and time. Instead of waiting for the Hero of Stagaia to grow up, they instead opted for a grown Soul and then stuff abilities into. This is what led to the decline of Hero Integrity. They usually choose a miserable Soul because they often have the highest drive to become strong, and easy to use and manipulate.

In the past in Stagaia, there used to be actual Heroes with Heroic Integrity, who are righteous and a strong sense of justice, being more of a friend to the people than being a distant figure. Now, there is these slop Heroes running around thinking they are entitled to everything. A clear split, the people of Stagaia had labelled the actual Heroes as True Heroes, while these new Chosen Heroes from other worlds as Invasive Heroes, or the slur Slop Heroes. The last True Heroes sanctioned by Stargaia were Valzygnadd, Casalpia, and Herzenxilia. Though this was over 2000 years ago.

Heaven

Heaven is in a separate dimension, in 4D overlapping Stagaia's 3D dimension.

Ruled by Three Gods: Narmenian, Gudrolt, and Balsatos.

The three of them are responsible for choosing a Hero for a Continent. Narmenian oversees Valdrolt, Gudrolt oversees Liuxing, and Balsatos oversees Basharma.

Narmenian was once kind and guiding, a benevolent God. Now he is one of apathy and self delusion.

Guldrolt was once determined and passionate, a benevolent God. Now, he is one of ridden guilt and self validating.

Balsatos was once soft and gentle, a benevolent God. Now, she is one of whatever and carelessness.

In the past, they were genuine Gods who only wanted the best for the world they oversaw. But Mankind was always shooting themselves in the foot. Greed, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Dishonesty. They just kept forming Demons. The rate of the Demon King returning is faster than the rate at which their Chosen Heroes grow up. Even Stargaia had fell dormant because of this.

That was why Narmenian took it upon himself to try to find ways to bring out more Heroes due to not enough Souls to form a True Hero Soul, and they turned to miserable Souls from other worlds. Balsatos rejected this vehemently, Guldrolt was torn between letting those things in, or letting the world of Stagaia become consumed. It was a 2 to 1 for sending miserable souls to Stagaia, hoping they redeem themselves for the better. But, they couldn't just take Souls from other realities, because it is Illegal to put good Souls who are bound for Heaven and Reincarnation into a life they do not want. So they had to negotiate for Souls destined for Hell, giving a 'chance' for them to 'redeem' themselves.

It worked well at first, but the Invasive Heroes would show their true colors, demanding things, Entitlement, Greed, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Dishonesty. Displayed to the worst level. But it was working, the Demons were getting beat back, but those very same Slop Heroes were also feeding back into the cycle, in fact, speeding it up. While some Slop Heroes do end up becoming True Heroes, they are the minority. But the Gods couldn't stop. If they stopped, Stagaia will get consumed by Miasma. Only by outputting Slop Heroes, they could stop the Demon King. They had trapped themselves into an unescapable cycle.

Unable to cope, the Three Gods ended up having massive personality changes. They fully committed to it, fully convinced it is for the good of Mankind and Stargaia. That it was Mankind's fault that they had to resort to this, their fault for causing Stargaia’s dormancy. But even then, they are still trying to find another way to save Stargaia, even if it means eventually trying to memory wipe miserable souls and forcing them to be good, despite it being illegal. But because of what the Three Gods did, the Spirits and Dragons ended up leaving them.

The Divine System is the one that monitors the Gods, Souls, and Rebirths. As Gods are born from Faith and that Faith is fed back into Souls who bring in even more Faith, it forms the Perpetual Aether Cycle that powers and sustains it across endless realities. As God Souls originate from the 4th Dimension, they needed to incarnate into physical 3D vessels lest they destroy the 3D Realm.

Naturally, there are Divine Laws that govern how Gods should act. Where they are NOT allowed to tamper with Souls, good or bad, regardless, as Judgement is for the Divine System to decide. Any unethical acts upon a Soul, such as sent, alterations, interception, consuming is strictly forbidden, and results in a swift wipeout of the offending God.

This Divine System works with World Trees so that Gods can descend to the 3D Realm, and work to make a world flourish, as well as getting more Aether through Faith.

Heavenborn Angels are the ones that hold immense hatred for Demons and Humans, especially Invasive Heroes, far more powerful than Angels. They are not lenient like Worldborn Angels, and can be incredibly merciless in the Name of Heaven.

Heavenborn Angels typically have families etc, similar to how mortals live. They procreate spiritually, and they typically follow the Three Gods. But, many of them are rather burnt out, or take matters into their own hands by ditching Heaven to live as Mortals. This is because most of them do not really agree with what the Three Gods did, and want to fix it. They had offered to help, but the Three Gods rejected that help. Many of the Heavenborns only continue to do so because they would get replaced if they do not do their job, and this is why they rebel in small ways. Like assigning abilities to Slop Heroes, giving it small tweaks so that it would eventually backfire and so on. It is technically a peaceful, perfect Eden the size of the entire Stagaia.

Races

Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Giants, Merfolks, Beastfolks, Nightfolks, Smallfolks, Monsterfolks, Skyfolks, Dragons, and Spirits.

Dwarves are from Giant Descent, Cursed into being small by the Demon King of Old long ago.

They are all scattered throughout the Three Continents. There is huge diversity for each race.

For example, races like Elves, Humans, Beastfolks etc from Liuxing, in earth terms, look Asian., Those from Valdrolt look more European. Those from Basharma are more like Africans/Tribal resemblance.

Out of all the races, Humans are the weakest. This is because their bodies are not as strong, which is why they make up for it by having high populations. The only way for a Human to be strong from the start is if they are a True Hero, or True Hero Lineage. But other races have True Hero Lineages, so this is not exclusive to Humans alone. However, there is a sub human species, the Amazons who are much more powerful. Humans were formerly Eden Humans, a much more powerful and intelligent race, much more compassionate, though Cursed.

Elves are unique, as their bodies are Pseudo Mana Body, due to the large Mana Pathways they have, and given the fact they are exposed to Dendro Malentrons all the time, they are super attuned to nature, which is why their ears are long, because it has a special frequency that allows them to connect with what nature hears, and understand them, which is why Elves are seemingly omniscient when nature is around. It is also why they are super beautiful, because the Pseudo Mana Body gives them eternal youth, and their desire to be beautiful. Elves have Pseudo Mana Body because their ancestors were disciplined when it came to training in Mana, and this technique kept getting passed down. It is the Elves that normalised the 6 Mana Techniques. They used to be Spirit Elves, and were Cursed.

Dwarves are the way they are, because their ancestors were what was known as Primordial Giants, sizes of mountains. They were are massive threat towards the Demon King of Old, which was why it had sacrificed it’s entire Cycle to concentrate a Curse purely upon the Primordial Giants, reducing them to the size of the Dwarves.

Giants, while not the size of the Primordial Giants still exist, and their bodies are actually infused with Gravi Malentrons, that makes them lighter, which is what allows them to sustain their mass. While their numbers are small, their power is enough to wreck civilisations.

Merfolks range from Mermaids to Fishfolk, and rule the oceans. Merfolks have special frequencies through songs that allows them to communicate with the marine life, and due to the amount of Hydro Malentrons they are exposed to, every single one of them can use Water based magic. They are physically strong, and fast, sometimes rivalling even giants depending on the kind of Merfolk, which shows how formidable they are. They are the ones that guide the surface dwellers through the seas, and provide Ocean Minerals.

Beastfolks are the result of evolution that occurred, when Humans wanted to be stronger. Through that Willpower, and dreams, Mutations started to occur when new babies were born, and eventually resulting in a whole new race. They specialise in all kinds of things, there exists Dogfolks, Catfolks, Wolffolks, Dragonfolks, Insectfolks, Aquatic Folks etc. There are thousands of different variations.

Nightfolks range from Vampires, Night Elves, Werewolves, Moon Fairies, Shadows, Insectoids etc. They all usually only come out at night, and are completely nocturnal.

Smallfolks range from Gnomes, Fairies, Halflings, Pixies, Antfaes, Dryads. Technically super helpful to the environment, making them super important. Usually hidden, but if they trust enough, they show themselves.

Monsterfolks range from goblins to undead. All kinds of monsters are put into this category, and they are intelligent. Monsters are defined as instinctual and zero self awareness, while Monsterfolks demonstrate intelligence.

Skyfolks are avian humanoids, or humanoids with wings. Typically live in high mountains or trees, their bodies are saturated with Aero and Gravi Malentrons. They technically rule the skies, and help keep the skies free of sky predators since they are all hunters.

Dragons are hidden, as there are only 7 in the world. Each gigantic and living natural disaster, they are not something that mortals can beat with ease.

Spirits are invisible beings, and are incredibly powerful. Spirits are completely made of a specific elemental Malentron and Datatrons, which is how they are sentient. Spirits are incredibly powerful because they can draw Mana from the air, because they all naturally have Manabodies. In Adventurer Rank terms, even a low tier one is put on A Rank. They exist everywhere among the Three Continents, and to perceive one, one needs to have spiritual sight. Spirits composed of Meta Malentrons are SSS+ Ranks. All Spirits have Aethertrons, forming a unique existence known as Divine Spirits.

Countries

The Three Continents are grouped together, separated by the Central Sea, which has absolutely no wind, and a dead calm zone. The Central Sea splits into the Three Sea Belts, which separate the Continents. The Star Sea separates Liuxing and Basharma. The Hydrax Sea separates Liuxing and Valdrolt. The Kanroc Sea separates Basharma and Valdrolt. Beyond the Three Continents is the Uncharted Ocean, and beyond that is the Eternal Fog.

Despite the current state of Mankind being threatened by Demons, they still retain normalcy, because to them, it is normal, and Demons are always fought back.

[

Valdrolt:

Valdrolt has 23 states: Aldarune, Bunedesac, Caliform, Dosalfus, Eranx, Fyfalia, Goturhurst, Henan, Iridene, Jaifalna, Kandala, Lufreize, Mesetura, Nemulain, Ortfocus, Pojacz, Quvans, Resefia, Swveac, Talian, Usopia, Vneumrea, and Wendalia. All 23 States form the United States of Valdrolt. Each of them appear similar, but are slightly different in culture and customs. All the States have mines, and are each responsible for keeping Miasma at bay.

Valdrolt’s culture is mainly upfront and straightforward. No such thing as small talk, and people there are technically very blunt and say what they want. Valdrolt is rich in minerals, especially Mana Crystals due to the heavy Mana Atmosphere they have. Due to this, much of their culture relates to the supernatural, like spectral entities, minerals having meaning and relating to birth - known as Birth Stone, depending on where they are from. Unity and community is a big part of their culture, which is why they always have all kinds of festivals, like the Valdrolt New Year, Community Festival, Unity Week (celebrating the union of 23 states), and Dance Battle Festival.

Due to being rich in minerals, it is what they mainly use to trade with the other continents. They have a monopoly on high quality minerals and set the price for them. They boast high economic and political power. The climate in Valdrolt is usually humid to cool, depending on the state, not too much extreme weather. Valdrolt’s Army is around 5 million strong.

The Valdrolt Intelligence Agency (VIA) is their intelligence gathering department.

Mainly inhabited by Humans, Beastfolks, Dwarves.

The President of Valdrolt is Gutria Falna. She is a Human.

[

Liuxing:

Liuxing has 6 Provinces: Lingxing, Yixing, Liangxing, Sanxing, Sixing, Wuxing. Lingxing is close to the ocean, therefore they have fishing, and close relations with the Merfolks. Yixing is where they specialize in Mana Science and Alchemy. Liangxing is where Anti Demon Weapons/Talismans are created, full research into Miasma as they are near a Miasmic Zone. Sanxing is where the central economic hub of Liuxing is, the central trade area. Sixing is more for war and military, as they border Demon Territory, acting as a border fighting against them, supplied by Liangxing and Sanxing. Wuxing is the Holy Land of Liuxing, where the Cathedral resides. It is the most beautiful place in Liuxing, and they lend support.

Liuxing’s culture has a huge emphasis on willpower and state of mind. Remaining elegant and humble, following the Nine Heroic Commandments. Much of their culture relates to the stars and innovation. Their most famous saying is “A Man of Pride has already died.”, which means that a prideful person is no longer a person, but rather just pride itself, a shell of their former self. It is why most individuals from Liuxing grow up to be humble, but definitely not pushovers. They have festivals like the Star Festival, Sea Festival, Moon Festival (celebrating Runia and Urania) Merfolk Day (Celebrating the day Merfolks and Liuxing created an alliance), Diverse Week (Cultural Exchange, where simultaneous customs from different races come together.). Most of them are quite religious, and have decent schedules which is why most can remain calm and happy, free from overwork.

Liuxing imports all kinds of useful gadgets and manpower as a form of trade, which makes them super important as they are more advanced, developing things, and the fact the 9 Heroes are based there, which makes them highly influential with political and military power. Also the fact that they are the ones assisting the Exploration beyond the Ice Walls thanks to Merfolk Guidance. The climate in Liuxing can usually be super cold, or super hot depending on the region, like Liangxing being a cold region, Wuxing being the spring region which is why it is designated the Holy Land, Sixing, which is super hot. Liuxing has the Star Army, around 10 million strong, each equipped with the latest tech.

The Six Star Cathedral serves as their intelligence agency.

Mainly inhabited by Elves, Beastfolks, Merfolks, Smallfolks, Nightfolks, Monsterfolks, Skyfolks.

The President of Liuxing is Jinglong Jia. She is a mix of Elf and Dragonfolk.

Basharma:

Basharma has one Empire and 3 kingdoms. The Vanxu Ryuson Empire takes up a majority of the continent, and is a superpower, with a powerful military, weapons creation. The Talzea Kingdom, Runedria Kingdom, and the Jalepso Kingdom are working together to keep the Empire in check, given they want to conquer the entire continent. The Three Kingdoms trade with each other, and support the other. They have powerful warriors and weapons from trading with the other Continents, since they are mainly on the outer parts of Basharma.

Basharma’s culture is Survival of the Fittest, as demonstrated by the Empire, that conquers all other Kingdoms. Although, the Sun plays a huge part in their culture, because it symbolises power. Due to having so much mountains, they respect mountains, and when climbing one, they must reach the peak or it is disrespectful to the Mountain. They have access to so much resources like water, food etc, that excess food is common. The Empire has festivals like Empire Day (the day the Empire formed), Vanxu Battle Royale (To determine the strongest members), Sun Week (Worshipping the Sun), Mountain Pilgrimage Festival. The Three Kingdoms also have their own Sun Week, Mountain Pilgrimage Festivals, Three Kingdoms Day (When the Three Kingdoms united), Lantern Festivals, Food Festivals.

Due to being super bountiful in resources, The Empire and Three Kingdoms use that as trade. Though the Three Kingdoms have a slight disadvantage due to the Empire having more, so the Three Kingdoms worked together to specialise their crops instead, like bigger fruit, hybrids and so on. However, it has active volcanoes and the weather is usually super hot, which is why most of their crops had evolved to have outer shells, or super dry, which is the characteristic of Basharma crops. Basharma is not fully united, as they have their own civil war between the Empire and the Three Kingdoms. But because the three mountains separate them, they can’t just stage an attack. The Empire has the Imperial Army, 200 million strong, including different kinds like reserves, active, logistics, security etc. The Three Kingdoms only have 10 million strong together.

The famous and largest mountains Mt Ynvalgard, Mt Parlia, and Mt Legislev are in reality are Primordial Giants petrified a long time ago. No one knows much about this. These 3 ‘mountains’ separate the Empire from the Three Kingdoms.

The Empire has the Shades, which is their intelligence agency, while the Three Kingdoms has the United Bureau of Investigation (UBI).

Mainly inhabited by Humans, Amazons, Elves, Giants, Dwarves, Monsterfolks, Beastfolks (especially Onis), and Skyfolks.

The Emperor of the Vanxu Ryuson Empire is Khalkaha Borfelshe Ghorrdha, a Giant. The representatives of the Three Kingdoms: Julifa Meraria Manru, Queen of Talzea Kingdom, a Lamia. Iurys Feni Levensil, King of Runedria Kingdom, a dwarf. Camia Erago Parlensil, Queen of Jalepso Kingdom, a Skyfolk.

Namania:

Namania has 4 different main cities: Centralopolis, Startropia, Kanrocia, and Hydralux. As their name suggests, Centralopolis is located at the Central Sea. Startropia is located at the Star Sea. Kanrocia is located at the Kanroc Sea. Hydralux is located at the Hydrax Sea. These 4 Sea Cities are naturally underwater on the ocean beds, and serve as checkpoints for sea trade. The fact that they are close to the Three Continents allows mass fish trade. Centralopolis is the biggest city, and the most popular one. The other three cities are smaller in scale.

Namania’s culture is all about grace, community, and helpfulness. Merfolks typically work in groups, and communication to them is super important, honesty being their best policy. Naturally, they consider the Sea as super important, and that it should never be exploited in any way. While they hunt for fish etc, they always thank the Sea. They do not accept excessive indulgence, because it is seen as carelessness and disrespect to what something provides, which is one reason why they do not like the Slop Heroes, and made contact with Liuxing. Due to the more chaotic environment in the sea, there is a split difference in philosophy among those who live near the Eternal Fog/Storm, compared to the Merfolks who live in the Central Sea. Those Merfolks who live in the more dangerous areas of the Sea are more hardened and serious, compared to those who live in safer zones.

The Merfolks are typically very powerful, and have powerful control over Hydro Malentrons, which makes them a huge military asset against threats, since the Sea itself is a territory most can’t enter without being disadvantaged. Coupled with the fact they have total monopoly over Ocean Minerals, and have access to the bountiful resources of the sea. This makes them highly valuable for trade, for fish, sunken materials, ocean plants, ocean minerals. But Merfolks put a limit on how much a nation can receive because they do not indulge in excessive hunting.

The Namania Spy Agency (NSA) is their intelligence agency.

Inhabited by Merfolks and Fishfolks only.

The Queen of Namania is Rufimia Longini Carera. She is a giant Mermaid.

Big Organisations

[

Six Star Cathedral: Detests the Slop Heroes, a Cathedral once dedicated to the Heavens, now Servants to the Nine Heroic Commandments. Situated in Wuxing. They are one of the most followed regions, and known for their benevolent nature. While they are peaceful, and try to remain as neutral as possible, they do resort to violence if something threatens peace, or sanctity. They do so with as little negative emotion as possible, to not contribute to Demons. This is practically every member of the Cathedral appears apathetic and emotionless, because they actively suppress it.

The Cathedral is massive and beautiful, surrounded by the Mirror Lake on top of a peak, which is so reflective it is like glass. It resembles eastern architecture.

[

Original Six Heroic Commandments:

Thou shalt demand no tithe nor tribute, for the privilege of strength is its own debt to the powerless.

Thou shalt not place thy throne above the soil, but walk amongst the flock as a fellow, not a god.

Thou shalt raise thy blade not for the glory of the strike, but to be the shield for the innocent.

Thou shalt harbor no despair nor malice in thine heart, lest thy soul become the very Miasma thou art sworn to cleanse.

Thou shalt offer thine own blood before that of thy comrades with reason, for thy blood is not meaningless.

Thou shalt not forsake this realm for another, nor treat the lives of Stagaia as the playthings of fate.

Three Dogmatic Heroic Commandments:

These were added by the Cathedral after Invasive Heroes started to become common.

Thou shalt bear the burden of objective truth, turning a blind eye to neither the Sins of Mankind nor the apathy of Heaven.

Thou shalt not suffer the Invasive Greed, nor call 'fellow' to those who wear the Hero's mantle for their own vanity.

Thou shalt remain unbroken beneath the Ice, for when the Heavens falter, thou art the final wall.

]

Round Table of the Nine Heroes: They are not Slop Heroes, but rather Six Star christened Heroes who are easily rivalling Slop Heroes. The Nine Heroes' identities are a total secret to prevent Slop Heroes and other organisations from finding out who they are, as their work is done behind the scenes. They are not actually True Heroes, but rather have powerful enough Wills to be considered one, chosen by the Cathedral. They are the ones that infiltrate, and assassinate Slop Heroes once their job is done. They were formed to fight Slop Heroes.

While identities are not known, rumors of their titles are:

Stagaia's Sword, Stagaia's Shield, Stagaia's Arrow, Stagaia's Spear, Stagaia's Eyes, Stagaia's Flames, Stagaia's Mind, Stagaia's Armor, and Stagaia's Will.

Star Order: They are the Cathedral’s army. Each individual follows one of the 9 Heroes, and they are recognised by their white armor, specially made so that they cannot be stained. Around 10,000 strong. There is the Commander for the 9 Divisions, representative of the Hero leading that. The 9 Divisions are Sword Division, Shield Division, Arrow Division, Spear Division, Eye Division, Flame Division, Mind Division, Armor Division, and Will Division.

The Six Star Religion is one of the most popular religions, mainly because it rejects Slop Heroes, and a way to keep the True Hero Spirit going. All members of the Cathedral try their best to suppress hatred, to maintain a sense of calm, because to hate is to contribute.

The Cathedral is led by the Popess Ciel Manas D’hathe. She has long since thrown away her emotions, or so she thinks. Occasionally, she would look up at the sky and ask a silent question to the Heavens. “Why won’t you trust us...?”

Adventurer's Guild: The Adventurer’s Guild is a way to get society working together. It was originally founded as a way for people to become Heroes, being the individuals who help the people, and walk alongside them. Though, the existence of the Adventurer’s Guild came to be because a Slop Hero had asked where it was. The founder thought that the Adventurer’s Guild would be the ultimate bait for Slop Heroes, to keep them monitored.

The Adventurer’s Guild has ranks that go from F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, EX Ranks, denoted with - or + to more accurately rank an individual. This is to further entice Slop Heroes. The Guild usually slaps an S or above for Slop Heroes, just to boost their ego and keep them easy to control. The official terms for the S Ranks (for Slop Heroes) are Slop, Stupid Slop, and Stupidly Sacrilegious Slop. The official term for EX Rank (for Slop Heroes) is EXtra Slop. Of course, this only applies to Slop Heroes, and is kept a secret from the Slop Heroes. This idea came from the founder Hanova Leif’s best friend Jaleo Powa, who really hated the Slop Hero he was forced to work with long ago. All Slop Hero Adventurer ID has a tracker built, a Sync Rune inside it, so that they can be located.

F is for beginners, E is for working simple quests, D is supporting higher ranked individuals with combat quests. Ranks F, E, D is basically an apprenticeship, as C Rank is where an individual becomes independent. A C Rank License is already considered competent by most people and organisations, as it shows that the person with the license can be trusted as they had passed the test. B Rank is around local level, helping out towns, and are considered professionals who can deal with a majority of quests, able to fight back Demons. A Ranks is for elites who can take on most B Rank quests solo, basically able to fight off Demon Captains. S Ranks is for individuals who can solo A Rank quests, and can fight back Demon Generals and Miasmas. SS Rank is for individuals who can do S Rank quests solo, and can actually defeat a Demon General. SSS Rank is for individuals who can fight the Demon King, not defeat. EX Rank is basically individuals who can easily defeat the Demon King, and can bend reality to their Will.

However, Rank alone is not reflecting power, it also reflects Heroic Integrity. If an Adventurer’s attitude is not up to par, they will not rank up no matter how powerful they are.

To put into reference, there are around 40 million registered Adventurers. 18% of them are currently C Ranks. 10% of them are B Ranks. 4% are A Ranks. 34 S Ranks. 12 SS Ranks. 5 SSS Ranks. 12 EX Ranks in history. If including Slop Heroes, there are 92 S+ Ranked Slop Heroes, far outnumbering the natives.

Adventurer’s Guilds are everywhere, as they help keep the annoying troubles solved, and where communities can put up jobs for Adventurers to fulfil, so it is basically one of trust between Adventurers and the Community. Adventurer Guilds are known casually as Odd Jobs Agency. This is because Adventurers are not merely combatants, but all sorts of specialties, like doctor, engineer, explorer, guide, escort etc.

They are also reliable, as the Guild can send help to those who need their services. Even people who do not plan to get an Adventurers License go get it because it is useful for all sorts of businesses, as it is technically a trustworthy ID.

Adventurer ID basically shows name, picture, rank, specialty. The Adventurer IDs are made of a special material, a unique mineral with a serial number, so that it cannot be replicated or forged.

Exams: There is an Exam for every rank up. When an individual signs up for an Exam Rank Up, they are monitored to see how they behave, without them knowing. On the day of Exam, it is a combat one, and an individual fights all sorts of Monsters and Guild Instructors one Rank above them. If they pass both, they Graduate. If they fail one of the two Exams, they fail it entirely, and cannot retake for a whole year. However, ranking up to A and above is a special case, they are put into a Trial instead, and are evaluated whether they are capable enough to Graduate. These Exams are exclusively for Combatant Adventurers.

For other specialties, like Doctor, Investigation, Exploration, Engineering, Research etc, they are put onto cases, with a professional with them. The professional evaluates whether the individual can work under pressure.

The current Grand Guildmaster is Harleking Vancover. His position is above Guildmaster, which is assigned to every Adventurer’s Guild Branch. The main headquarters is based in Valdrolt, Aldarune. A massive headquarters.

To deal with Slop Heroes, they usually have an S+ Rank female adventurer posing as a humble C Rank, to manipulate their egos.

The reason why they have so many Slop Heroes and they don’t just try defeating the Demon King is because the Demon King can take over bodies, and the fact that Demon King is not the only threat that needs to be addressed. The Guild doesn’t want to risk losing power, given how quickly the Demon King comes back, like 50 years later, so rather than slaying, they have them feel things out at most, and try developing countermeasures to suppress. Slop Heroes themselves are easily distracted by sweet talk to their ego, and at most used to slay Demon Generals and Demons in general, then they slowly get the Slop Heroes dependent on the ‘adulation’ and ‘admiration’ so they want to keep up appearances. While Slop Heroes are strong, there are ways to deal with them, to keep them in check. The citizens of Stagaia have their own pride after all, and they do NOT want these Slop Heroes ruining it all. Though, the truth is, without Slop Heroes, everyone would have a much harder time dealing with everything, since one always gets sent to Stagaia when they need more manpower.

Deal Company: They are a mercenary organisation based in the Empire that works purely for profit. They do whatever job so long as they are paid for the right price. They arose alongside the Adventurer’s Guild as a different alternative to the more illegal kind of requests, as they saw how the Adventurer’s Guild never allowed any ‘dirty’ jobs to be commissioned. Naturally, they are based in Basharma, which is why they can get away with this kind of thing, because power is more important, and the president of this company is Valhalla Dawn, a fairly powerful individual who is the descendent of Kanria Dawn, who had beaten down a Slop Hero who tried to touch her brutally just to show she could, and from there built up the Deal Company through a series of betting to the Emperor that if she lost, she would be the Emperor’s plaything, but if she wins all the bets, she gets funding each time, and she had succeeded. What makes them different from the Guild is that ID is not needed at all, just take a quest and go. No rank or anything, just whoever takes the job can do it. No rank limiting what job they can take. What’s more, job commissioners can do so anonymously, which makes it perfect for those that want to keep their identity hidden. When a job is taken, a contract is signed, listing conditions and so on. Then the mercenary has to finish the job and provide proof to the client for it to be considered complete. Naturally, the Deal Company serves as a ‘funtime’ for the Slop Heroes, as a way to point them towards enemies, considering they would forge their own ‘quests’, and then use the Deal Company as the shield and excuse, and blaming the job commissioner on a scapegoat.

It is also where the bored Slop Heroes situated in Basharma take on the crazy jobs just to feel a thrill in doing things that they morally should not do, given that already being rich and can get anything, they would look towards other things to feel fun.

Explorers, Cartography, and Research Society: Funded by elites who have nothing to do, and curious about the world beyond. This is where Explorers and Cartographers come into play, those crazy or curious enough to risk their lives to venture into the unknown. Though, it’s really historians that want to uncover potential lost history, and why the world is that way. They map everything, and do not just explore beyond the Ice Walls. They are based in Valdrolt, Lufreize.

The Cartographer that created the current World Map is Flexidus Manyatten, an Elf. The creation of the Sky Routes was cartographed by the Skyfolk Rivai Lensfereia. The Sea Routes were mapped by the Merfolk Wowen Millow.

The Society has sub departments like Flora and Fauna Research, Miasma Observation, Deep Sea Research/Exploration, Fog Research/Exploration, Beyond Research/Exploration, Mana Atmosphere Monitor, Elementron Monitoring, Malentron Monitoring, Monster Research, Demon Research.

Exploration into the Deep Sea, Fog, and Beyond the Ice Walls require atleast SS Rank level individuals, or Black Ring, because that is how dangerous those areas are. Like once in the past, they severely underestimated what was beyond the Ice Wall, sending a few hundred of around C-A Ranks, with a few S+ Ranks, and a majority of Yellow Rings to Black Rings, and only 3 SS+ Ranks, and 5 Black Rings came back alive, the only SS+ individuals sent. This was a massive scandal, and the Society took a massive hit in their rep, but it also showed the world just how dangerous it was, when it took place back in 2142 PE. But, they brought back valuable data, like one of the floras out there. A man eating plant capable of using its own roots to control a biological organism, named Munandra.

While the Society borrows Adventurers, and scaling the power requirement with the F-SSS Rank, the Society has their own Exploration Rank, that focuses on expedition experience, and how well one responds to their situation. Power alone doesn’t determine rank, as how well the Explorer can navigate matters, knowing their limits, and how observant they are. These rings serve as clearance levels, and threat levels.

Brown Ring: Beginner. This is for those who just start, and go through expeditions that are already fully explored.

Orange Ring: Proficient. This is for those who are proficient enough to go into more dangerous expeditions not fully mapped out.

Yellow Ring: Veteran. This is for those who are trusted to go on expeditions on their own, and responsible for mapping things out.

Explorers who do not have high combat capability are limited to Yellow Ring. To go into more dangerous zones, they require an Adventurer or combat expert to help them out. Individuals with Yellow Rings can still go to Beyond the Ice Wall, if they have ample support. The Ring Colors above Yellow are given to those proven capable exploring solo. However, going beyond the Ice Wall requires all kinds of paperwork if an individual is not Black Ring.

Green Ring: Professional. This is the same as Yellow Ring, but also powerful enough to go into Miasmic Zones, or other high level dangerous zones that would otherwise require an Adventurer to help out with.

Blue Ring: Elite. This is access to the Deep Seas. Those who can handle themselves fairly well without too much support. Usually, it’s Merfolks who have this from the get go. It’s also the Merfolk Ring, and individuals who have this ring or above gain respect of Merfolks.

Indigo Ring: Master. This is access to the Eternal Fog. Those who can handle themselves, and have a great sense of direction alongside are able to fight back any creature without too much support, enough to remain competent.

Violet Ring: Grand Master. This is access to the Eternal Storm. Those who can survive in the Eternal Storm, and fight back the Deep Sea Creatures.

Black Ring: Legend. This is access to the Ice Wall and Beyond. Those who can go there solo and return.

For reference, there are around 500,000 members in the Society. 90,000 of them are part of the Explorer’s Department. Around 36,000 Brown Rings. Around 25,000 Orange Rings. Around 18,000 Yellow Rings. Around 7000 Green Rings. Around 2700 Blue Rings. Around 900 Indigo Rings. Around 300 Violent Rings. Around 100 Black Rings. Not all of them are just Explorers, but a mix of Cartographer, Research, Historians, Surveying, Logistics etc.

For other departments, around 25,000 Cartographers. 55,000 Flora and Fauna Researchers. 40,000 Monster Researchers. 30,000 Demon Researchers. 18,000 Deep Sea Researchers. 12,000 Fog Researchers. 2500 Beyond Researchers. 35,000 Mana Atmosphere Researchers/Monitors. 40,000 Elementron and Malentron Researchers/Monitors. 70,000 Miasmic Researchers/Observers. 39,500 Administration/Logistics. 20,000 Mana Disaster Observers.

Much like Adventurer IDs, the Exploration Rings are also very much credible, and can be used at the Adventurer’s Guild for conversion. Adventurer IDs can be used to convert to Exploration Rings as well. Naturally, a Test is conducted to see if the test taker lives up to the rank.

Explorers who go beyond Ice Walls wear specialised hazard suits with Purification Runes because of the toxic air and Miasma.

The current leader of the society is Yuhadd Jarhardo.

Mana Science

Mana is made of what is known as Manatrons. Manatrons are the Mana Particles, and consist of Spiritrons and Auratrons. Spiritrons are the Spiritual Particles that give Manatrons the property of being able to interact with other Dimensions and permeate the entire world without disrupting the physical plane, while Auratrons are what allows Manatrons to be controlled by any individual with Willpower. On the very fundamental level, Spiritrons and Auratrons are made of Imagicles. As Mana is everywhere in the world, the Mana in the air had reacted to Mankind’s Positivity and Negativity, which indirectly absorbed and formed the Spiritual Lifeforms known as Angels and Demons, or the more accurate term: Mana Lifeforms.

Manatrons is a 3.5D Particle, working on quantum physics, where when observed, it goes into a physical state, but otherwise remains in its spiritual invisible form.

Mana is created in 2 different ways:

The first discovered way is by trees and nature, through Manasynthesis, where they absorb water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and the scattered Manalight that is emitted by the 6 Major Stars indirectly. The Manalight mutates the oxygen and glucose, so that oxygen becomes Manaoxygen, with Manatrons bound to oxygen, and glucose becoming Managlucose. The Manalight then splits the Manaoxygen again, separating them into Manatrons and Oxygen, released into the air simultaneously. The Managlucose turns the plant Magical, giving it powerful effects and healing properties. Naturally, the plants are already supplied with the Manatrons from the Manacore, though the Manalight helps them release it. Managlucose is super saturated with Manatrons from both Manalight and Manacore.

The second way is the Manacore within the planet. It produces near infinite Manatrons, which seeps into the earth, and comes out from the surface itself. Due to this, oceans are filled to the brim with Manatrons, which have evolved the creatures there into all kinds of powerful creatures. The existence of Mana saturated zones and Mana fissures exist because of this. Areas with less nature tends to have noticeably less Mana in the atmosphere.

However, there are natural phenomena that change Manatron’s properties. The Elementrons are a special kind of particles that are emitted by the natural materials of the world. Elementrons is what allows Manatrons to interact with the world naturally without the interference of willpower. Manatrons are naturally attracted to Elementrons, and is the reason why everything in the world is imbued with mana to a certain degree. Manatrons by itself has no affinity or any other property. Elementrons are what gives property to Manatrons. The reason not all Manatrons are bound to Elementrons is because there are more Manatrons than Elementrons.

First are the basic elements, like fire, water, earth, air. Pyrotrons, Hydrotrons, Geotrons, and Aerotrons. These Elementrons act like Protons, where the number of them form a specific property of a Manatron. Elementrons simultaneously fulfil the roles similar to Proton, Neutron, and Electron, and bonds with other Elementrons to form compound elements. Elementrons are the basis on how the world interacts, the natural phenomena, and the reactions, such as weather, temperature etc.

Other known ones include Electrotrons, Cryotrons, Sonotrons (Sound), Lumitrons (Light), Metallotrons, Dendrotrons, Hemotrons (blood), Venotrons (poison), Umbratrons (darkness), Gravitrons, Acceletrons.

Then there are the more abstract Elementrons like Nulltrons (void), Frequtrons (frequency), Aethertrons, Nethertrons, Datatrons, Diatron (space), Entropitron, Casualitron, Zoetron (life), Thanatrons (death), Probatrons, Gaiatrons, Chaostrons, and Chronotrons. They are considered Metatrons.

Elementrons gain it’s magical property through orbiting Manatrons.

Elementrons cannot be directly manipulated by individuals, but Malentrons can be manipulated because it has Manatrons inside, which indirectly allows the individual to also wield the Elementron paired with it.

To extract Elementrons, specific frequencies can lure them. Manatrons in nature come in all kinds of frequencies, and they link with the Elementron that best matches their frequency, and individuals can change this frequency of the Manatron through Willpower, through the Auratron. This creates known Frequencies like Hydro Frequency, Sono Frequency and so on.

The more specific the Elementron, and the higher in quantity it is when orbiting around a Manatron, it is measured based on Purity. The more specific Elementron, the more pure. For example, the Ocean’s Manatrons contain nearly 100% Hydrotrons, which makes it the most pure source of Hydrotrons. Another example is Magma, the Manatrons it contains are filled with Geotrons and Pyrotrons. Manatrons that come in contact with Elementrons are known as Malentrons. Malentrons can be extracted through the Runes.

Malentrons: A hybrid particle between a Manatron and one or more Elementron. For example, Hydrotrons that bond with Manatron is known as Hydro Malentron. A Malentron contains both the characteristics of the Element, and Mana. Therefore, it becomes possible to control the Element. Elemental users control Malentrons through Mana.

A Elementron can have one bond max. A Malentron with one Elementron can bond with another Malentron with one Elementron. The more bonds, the more ‘pure’ it can become.

Runes: They are the carved Language of the World. Runes can look like anything, but so long as it is written or carved with Intent, the Mana understands, and does what it needs without direct Willpower when the Rune receives Mana. Through thousands of years, Universal Runes were created, a set of instructions to tell the Mana what to do through Runes, thousands of years of Intent had cemented its place. Instructions include basic Water, Fire, Air, Earth Runes. There is the Manatron/Elementron Extraction Rune. The Release Rune, which continuously Releases out Manatrons. Circulation Rune to tell the Manatrons where to go, Compression Rune to compress Manatrons, Isolation Rune to Isolate Manatrons from interacting with Elementrons, Purification Rune (Against Nethertrons), Resonance Rune (Which calibrates to a specific frequency working as a detector), Bind Rune (Which stops Acceletrons, or binding Manatron Lifeforms), Store Rune (to store Mana), Sync Rune (Syncs different Runes together using the quantum principals), Amplification Rune, Invert Rune. Naturally, Runes by themselves are not all powerful, and can fail, while adding more Mana does increase it’s power. They are known as the 16 Universal Runes. Individual Runes are created through Intent, and the Intent has to be strong enough to cement it to the Mana of the World to remember it. The 16 Universal Runes exist because nearly every being with willpower collectively has intent that they exist. This is why Individual Runes are usually a one time thing. To create a new Universal Rune, it must be acknowledged by the masses for it to truly take effect.

Uncharted

Beyond the Three Continents exist the Ice Walls. The Ice Wall Region is incredibly windy, exceeding 6000 knots, and has the Eternal Storm going on. Though, once every few centuries, the Aligned Orbital Eclipse, which is when the 6 Major Stars align perfectly against the Sun, it causes the Ice Walls to temporarily melt just enough to be breakable. Those who explore the lands beyond the Uncharted are Explorers, or Beyonders. Naturally, a tunnel has been fully made in the Ice Wall, but just because there is a way out, does NOT mean it is easy to get there. The Eternal Storm has consistent hail going up to 20km in height and width, thunderstorms that rain down endlessly, cyclones and waterspouts. Let's not forget the Marine Creatures living within the Ocean.

Though, discovering the Ice Walls was total accident. Beyond the Three Continents, where the Ocean around starts to get deeper, there exists the Eternal Fog barrier, forming a ring around the Three Continents. Explorers who got lost in the Fog would succumb to the creatures lurking beneath the seas, while those lucky enough would make it past the Fog into the Eternal Storm, seeing the Ice Walls looming in the distance.

It was the Explorer Gam, Blessed with Great Luck, that made it to the Ice Wall, and happened to try breaking it during the Aligned Orbital Eclipse during 2066. Beyond the Ice Walls lie complete darkness.

Even today, Explorers and Cartographers venture beyond the Ice Walls, to create the full World Map. Only 1% has been explored so far.

The explored region beyond the Ice Walls is a dense dark forest with loads of strange flora and fauna, alongside heavy Miasma and Demons.

Lost History

The reason why there is an Ice Wall, why beyond it is darkness, is because Humanity has been losing to Demons for thousands of years before Recorded History. The Darkness is the result of Miasma consuming it all. The Ice Walls is in fact, not a Wall, but a Dome covering the sky, filtering the Miasma away, to let the Sunlight in. Casted by the Forgotten True Hero Herzenxilia, it was her last ditch attempt to ward off the Miasma. Viewing the planet of Stagaia from space, it will look like a pitch black planet, with a bubble of light.

The Eternal Fog and Storm exists because of the Forgotten True Hero Valzygnadd, who cast this in an attempt to prevent individuals from leaving the Ice Walls, and to serve as barriers against invading Demon Forces.

The Creatures of the Eternal Fog and Storm are Summoned Beings by the Forgotten True Hero Casalpia, to defend any Miasmic Entities and Demons from entering the Ice Walls, and to prevent individuals from leaving.

The current Demon King within the Known World is merely a fragment. The actual Demon Lord is outside the Ice Walls, bidding it’s time to invade. No one knows of this, and the Demon Generals are not even powerful compared to the ones beyond the Ice Wall, where the Demon King had been mass buffing and tempering his army for thousands of years.

These precede Recorded History, which is why it is forgotten by most, except for the super higher ups in the know, or individuals who had lived during that time.

Back when Stagaia first existed around 5 billion years ago, it was an Eden. Populated by Spirits. One such Spirit that oversaw Stagaia was Stargaia, the Core of the World itself, the World Tree. It remained like this for thousands of years, until 7 Dragons sprouted into existence through the Chaos between the Frequencies of the Infinite Dimensions. The Numbers of Reality had stabilized the intense Chaos by giving them form, which are the Dragons.

There was an all out war between Spirits and Dragons, due to extreme differences in thinking, though, in the Dragon’s cases, they were just born, and operated on pure instinctive destruction. While it was ‘war’, it did not last very long, as the more powerful Spirits composed of Meta Malentrons, such as Diov - Void Spirit, Quency - Frequency Spirit, Dia - Space Spirit, Polity - Probability Spirit, Chronia - Time Spirit, and Stargaia - World Spirit that knocked out those Dragons. The Seven Dragons were soon dubbed as the Chaos Dragons due to their origin, and the Spirits began to collectively raise them. As the Chaos Dragons grew up mentally, they started seeing Stargaia as their Mother, and the Spirits as their older siblings.

As thousands of years go by, Three Gods who saw that Stargaia did not have any Gods supporting her in keeping the world going, contracted with her to help Stagaia flourish. That was when the world really started to flourish. Merfolks emerged first, from the vast oceans, modelled after Gudrolt. Spirit Elves emerged second, born from Spirits incarnating into physical bodies through the World Fruit after seeing the Merfolks. Primordial Giants came third, modeled from the likeness of Balsatos. The Primordials were Children of Balsatos that would assist with the creation of the new world. Nightfolks came fourth, modelled after Narmenian. They would be working at nights when all were asleep. A world of night that belonged to them. Smallfolks came fifth, created by Stargaia from nature, they would be Fairies, origins tied to Spirits. The Smallfolks would be the ones that help nature flourish, harvesting bountiful resources. Monsterfolks came sixth, the beasts of all kinds, who would serve to protect the world alongside the Dragons and Spirits. Skyfolks came seventh, the guardians of the sky, keeping the planet safe from foreign invaders and objects. Eden Humans came last, coming from the very likeness of Stargaia, they who would decorate the world in Stargaia’s stead.

The world of Stagaia was truly a paradise where everyone worked together. That was until the Perfect One of Karma, Karmea gazed upon Stagaia. Due to this, Stagaia became a Karmic World, and that was where the first misfortunes began.

Negative Emotions sprouted Demons, even minor ones. That was what led to the eventual fear, hatred, and anger that arose. The turning point when the Demon King was first born. When a human greeted it, thinking it was human, the first thing it did was pounce upon that human and eat him while he was still alive, screaming. Naturally, this led to others starting to fight back. But it was too late, it had already begun. More Demons were born from that incident, which led to inevitable clashes. No matter how many times they killed the Demon King, it always returned, stronger than ever. Even Stargaia could do nothing, not when a Perfect One had turned her world into a Karmic One.

Though, Positive Emotions birthed Angels, who would help the mortals. But they were too kind, too pure to actually help harm the Demons. All they did was heal, and do what they were told so long as it didn’t involve hurting, though granted, they played a huge part in support. The Gods who saw this decided to create Angels of their own, taking after the Worldborn Angels. The Angels did save individuals, but would never harm, not even when attacked by a Demon, which started to annoy more and more mortals, which in turn bred more Demons. No matter what Stargaia said, they couldn’t really just become emotionless. That was also when the Gods realised their mistake, having should have made the Heavenborn Angels apathetic to avoid breeding more hatred, since the Heavenborn Angels feel emotion like anger, hatred.

The tipping point came when Stargaia fell sick, since the Miasma was tainting the planet. Even the Spirits started to feel sick due to the Miasma contaminating them, since they are all made of Malentrons, which contain Manatrons, which makes them far more susceptible to this than mortals. This was why so many Angels started to gain the important job of saturating Spirits with Aethertrons, evolving them into a new kind of race known as Divine Spirits. But, not all Spirits are saved, as there were those that got corrupted with Nethertrons. All the races got together to fight back against the Demons, and also defend themselves. But most importantly, trying to calm their own emotions through meditation. This was what led to the creation of the Six Star Cathedral founded by Ciel, situated in Liuxing, formerly known as Rajhabadha. Naturally, it wasn’t easy to suppress negative emotions, which has only gotten stronger the more atrocities the Demons caused. This is why eventually, the Three Gods decided to create Heroes. By amassing thousands of Virtuous Souls with their explicit permission, having Angels infuse Aethertrons into them, forming into one Heroic Divine Soul, and then being Blessed with Stargaia’s Love, which is the birth of the True Heroes. Only Stargaia could allow the process of True Heroes, as she is the manager of Stagaia’s Souls.

True Heroes were salvation. They were the ones that started to help fight back against Demons, as they all had incredible abilities, and Virtuous Souls, that they were poison to the Demons. The Six Star Cathedral funded them, and helped protect and raise them. Three True Heroes. The first time they slayed the Demon King, it took over a century for it to respawn, leading to the Hero Demon Cycle. The Cathedral started to teach the followers to be Virtuous, that they too, can be Heroes if they have strong enough will. This moment of peace lasted a while, people celebrating. Even Stargaia and the Spirits managed to recover, much to the relief of everyone. But, not everyone was ‘good’. People still experienced negative emotion, albeit on a smaller scale compared to the past. True Heroes were Paragons of Hope.

This Cycle continued on for a very long time, hundreds of thousands of years. But, as time went by, they realised that the Demon King started taking different approaches. Letting negative emotions build up for a long time, breaking the usual 100 year cycle, amassing so much power so that the True Heroes wouldn’t be prepared for it. It hijacked technology, overpowered True Hero’s Will with pure negativity and despair to possess them. For the first time, the True Heroes were defeated. This led to the eventual Invasive Heroes from other worlds to make up for the lack of True Heroes because it took too much time for the True Hero to grow up. If a Hero wasn’t deployed, Stagaia would be doomed. But this was a mistake. It served to speed up the Cycle Process, forcing Stargaia into an indefinite dormant state, the World Tree consumed by Miasma. The Primordial Giants, one of the most powerful forces, were the biggest pain. The Demon King had tried to pull down Runia to destroy it since it was a source of Special Grade Weapons. But the Primordial King of the Giants foiled this by throwing a rope which tightened around the Crescent Moon, and pulled it away, wrestling it away. This Magical Rope Leislafei suspended Runia in the sky by anchoring itself into the fabric of reality to prevent the Demon King from trying to pull Runia.

So a Cursed Light known as Devolution Light washed over the planet - it was a Curse devised by the Demon King to get rid of the pests. But before that happened, the three Primordial Giants Ynvalgard, Parlia, and Legislev were the shining hope of them all. The three giants protested, but the Primordial King had none of it, beating them down in a fight with the others. Then the Primordial King petrified them while they were at Basharma, formerly known as Jharmalia.

This Devolution Light degraded most Monsterfolk into mindless Monsters, and Eden Humans devolved into Humans. Spirit Elves devolved into Elves, Merfolks devolved into more fishlike, creating Fishfolks, Skyfolks got weaker physique, some unable to fly, Nightfolks became more wild, though the more spiritual ones remained unchanged, Smallfolks were all spiritual, so they were immune. Those that managed to escape this light were among Three Continents, which had a barrier cast by Six Star Cathedral members, alongside thousands upon thousands of others, to protect the remaining population. But even with the barrier, most of them got devolved, save for the ones with much stronger defenses.

The Three Final True Heroes, Herzenxilia, Valzygnadd, and Casalpia casted their greatest Ultimates to completely protect the three remaining continents, and had gone missing since then.

Narmenian, Gudrolt, and Balsatos, were unable to handle this guilt. Though Narmenian felt the most guilt, because it was his idea. But...they couldn’t stop. If they stopped, the Miasma will fully consume Stagaia. Stagaia’s Population had decreased significantly from 52 billion to a mere 2 billion. The poor souls taken out by the Demons could not be recovered, and they genuinely could not just create a new True Hero Soul. Even though the situation is a lose lose no matter what they do, they WANT Stargaia to live on, and one day see Stargaia recovered, which is why they continue to push for Invasive Heroes, even if it worsens the situation. However, unbeknownst to them, Hezenxilia had retrieved the Seedling of Stargaia, presumably Stargaia’s attempt to escape her physical body before it got fully corrupted, though that is missing.

The Chaos Dragons, who had been unable to stop the unstoppable march of the Demons, and severely weakened, also had gone into hiding, and had gone missing since then, biding their time. The Spirits continued to fight, after being evolved to Divine Spirits with the help of Angels, fighting back the Demons and trying to Purify the World to bring back their Mother Stargaia.

Then, the remaining population decided to not record this part of history. They did not want future generations to feel despair due to the Demon King, as it would fuel its power more, even if it sent a fragment of it into one of the continents before the three continents were fully closed off from the world. Their thought process was that ignorance is bliss in this case. What the future generations don’t know won’t scare them. The Slop Heroes were the one thing they would warn about. They fabricated history, using the Slop Heroes as the turning point for a change in the year using PE. But, the Merfolk did not agree, passing on legends instead. Which is why in today’s world, apart from the top brass, the Merfolks know alot about the past.

Power System

Mana is the main ability everyone has. However, it is like a body part, it has to be trained frequently, and if training is stopped, then the individual’s ability to wield Mana will weaken, like how a muscle loses power if left untrained. Everyone is born with the Mana Pathways and Mana Pool, and with training, can increase the Mana Pool, and circulate Mana better.

Mana is all about technique and willpower. It is the Language of the World, and Mana is the bridge that connects lifeforms with Reality about what they want to do. It is the essence of ‘I Think, Therefore I am’, the ability to impose one’s Will upon the reality around them.

Most Individuals can only use the Mana they have, not the ones in the air because it is in a spiritual state, unlike an individual’s own Mana Pool, which is connected to their Willpower, anchoring it to the 3D realm due to the Auratron. The Manatrons in that spiritual state can’t be touched unless the Will is immensely powerful enough to jolt awake the dormant Auratron, or if they can control an Elementron to bind the Manatrons in the air. This is also why large scale Mana Techniques are able to draw Mana from the air, because many different Wills are working to jolt the dormant Auratron.

Many mages have the 16 Universal Runes tattooed so they can automate most of these annoying processes, so they can use magic more efficiently, rather than drawing mana from the air. But because nearly every mage has the Universal Runes tattooed, it becomes more about speed, physical combat, and careful usage of their own Manapool, as these Runes require mana to activate, and drains quickly, so it is usually a more trump card method.

Techniques include Compression, Fast Circulation, Slow Circulation, Spread, Tempering, Filtering. The side effects are extreme cases of pushing limit too far.

Compression is a technique to compress more energy to waste less mana usage, compressing enough manatrons into a tightly packed one, that can rival the manapool makes the individual able to cast that level of power immediately. Though, Compression could lead to Mana Overload if not under control, or the body straight up explodes, and in some cases, create Mana Crystals if they do not regularly move the compressed Manatron around.

Fast Circulation enhances physical power, but it comes with stamina drain usually, and if the circulation is faster than the production of Mana, can be knocked out, or even die.

Slow Circulation enhances defense, by slowing circulation below the normal circulation rate, the Manatrons get pushed together, becoming more dense naturally, but it can become dangerous if not carefully controlled, because it can form Mana Blockages due to Mana Crystals forming, which is super devastating as it can render one incapable of using Mana properly.

Spread is by sacrificing concentrated damage to spread it out more, making the Mana more gaseous, it allows wider area of effect rather than focused damage.

Tempering is the hardening of Mana. This technique is used to prevent Mana Absorptions etc, but similar to Slow Circulation, can generate Mana Crystals if not careful. It can also be used outwardly to strengthen barriers or attacks, to make them last longer, and waste less.

Filtering is for those with Malentrons, able to filter out Elementrons from Manatrons.

Those with Mana Crystals forming have to either quickly will it to become gaseous before it’s too late, or control their own mana to destroy it. Otherwise, surgery is needed to remove it before it is too late. In extreme cases, the Mana Crystals form violently tearing their internals.

Mana Body: It is when an individual’s ability to wield Mana is so great, that the Mana has assimilated with their body, converting all physical cells into a Mana State, entering an evolved lifeform. At this point, the individual is no longer a pure physical lifeform, but rather a half physical and half spiritual lifeform, and their lifespan is greatly enhanced, and wielding Mana gets to the point of being able to control with purely thought. Mana Bodies have no Mana Pathways or Mana Pool, because their very existence has become part Mana, which means that the size of Mana Pool becomes meaningless, because they can control Mana of the World itself. Only SSS Ranks have reached this level.

Unique Magics: Practically every individual has their own unique magics, as it is their own willpower that brings about change. It can range from the most basic element that practically everyone can use, to more advanced techniques to reality breaking. The Techniques and Runes can enhance these Unique Magics. Because in the end, Unique Magics is all about how powerful an individual’s Willpower about themselves is. Willpower is the individual’s true belief, and that manifests as a reflection of their personality and soul. An individual who self doubts for even a second can never use Unique Magics that bend the laws of reality.

For reference, the average mage usually sticks to an element, either one that they naturally acquired through living in a specific Malentron rich environment, or they go to a place to live for years to mutate their mana pool. Some mages go for two, though it requires more years.

The truly talented kind all have powerful Will, that they truly believe in themselves. This includes delusional people. Given that most individuals in the world don’t truly believe in themselves that they can do a specific thing, which is why practically everyone is stuck at elemental control.

With the existence of Slop Heroes, with cheat abilities, they only ruin the potential more. It is why in today’s world, practically everyone needs to rely on Slop Heroes, because they get given abilities, and through that repeated cycle, people have come to believe that being chosen is the way to go. Slop Heroes’ abilities are cheats, because they are activation abilities. They do not need to do anything complex, just use mana and bam, the ability is activated. But this also brings one glaring weakness: Those who are incredibly skilled, or have extremely high Willpower can overcome Slop Heroes.

6 Major Stars

They are what form the Aligned Orbital Eclipse. The true nature of these 6 Stars are massive mana crystal planets, crystallised from Mana Clumps in space forming into massive celestial bodies. When aligned, they act as optical lenses, concentrating the sunlight, mutating it into what is known as Manalight. Manalight is bright purple, and has a wavelength between 2 - 10 nanometers. It carries so much energy, which is what allows it to melt the Ice Wall to a certain degree. It saturates Stagaia with more Mana, and can cause Mana Overload if individuals cannot fully control the sudden energetic increase in their own Mana Pools. It also temporarily enhances the birth of Angels and Demons.

The Aligned Orbital Eclipse happens once every 1002 years.

The 6 Major Stars are called Burta, Hyxen, Pegalia, Faustia, Jagoya, Qurzax. All of them are planets made purely from Mana Crystals, which are bright purple with a hue of blue. They are also why there were originally 6 Heroic Commandments.

The 6 Major Stars are important, because in the beginning, they formed a guiding light for the people of old, able to get through the nights. They usually scatter indirect Manalight upon Stagaia.

Urania and Runia

The Twin Half Moons. Urania is a Full Moon, while Runia is a Crescent Moon. Once every few hundred years, they reunite, merging into one Full Moon. This event is known as the Moonity. When this happens, Moon Dew falls from it. Moon Dew is an extremely powerful All Cure and All Power Strengthener. It is literally priceless, and it is impossible to even visit Runia by flying because the Distortion Field around it is such that when an individual goes near it, the particles in their body slowly but surely move slower.

When Moonity happens, the Cathedral goes get it. As only they know how to make full use of it. Of course, there are other nations that try to reach it first to sell it to the Cathedral. But, Moonity also has effects on the world. Such as Serenity, it calms the Mana in the atmosphere, during this period, all Mana related weather ceases. It also strengthens all Special Grade Weapons. During this time, it is considered world peace, and as it is sacred to all, there is a worldwide festival that celebrates Moonity.

Legends say that the Twin Half Moons were the Anvil and Hammer that forged Special Grades.

Natural Mana Disasters

Mana Weather is a phenomenon where it jacks up the normal weather to extreme proportions. Like making hail bigger, rains bigger, storms more violent, gusts of wind more aggressive. It entirely depends on the Mana Level.

Highly saturated Mana Zones are more prone to more aggressive weather, while Low saturated Mana Zones are not as prone to aggressive weather.

Mana Pressure exists, where the more saturated, the more dangerous it becomes. It is similar to being under the ocean, and while Mana is good, too much is not.

What’s more, Mana Weather’s element can change depending on the type of Elementron being emitted in an area - this is called Malentron Weather. For example, in a volcanic area, there will be Pyro Rain due to Pyrotrons. Though, because of how Mana Weather works, there are areas such as a Perpetual Storm that can happen if the area produces too many Electrotrons. Places with high Cryotrons can lead to absolute zero areas, or fog that instantly freezes and so on. Areas with high Aerotrons will create all kinds of weird phenomena, like lifting up rivers and other things causing chaos, or just tornadoes etc. Places with high Hydrotron concentration will have super heavy rain to near flooding depending on how much, including flash rains. What’s worse is that tsunamis are the height of mountains. This is why Merfolks and Krakens are super important to either mitigate the potential damage or nip it in the bud.

Areas with high Mana concentration can cause powerful earthquakes. But, with Geotrons, it can cause Geo Rains, or Geo Spikes, making it far more dangerous.

Volcanoes have much more violent eruptions if there is high mana concentration due to the Pyrotrons and Geotrons.

This is why to manage these highly dangerous zones, Mana is deliberately lowered into a safer level.

These dangers are listed into classifications:

Class 0: Areas with Mana Concentration around 10,000 Turtz. This is the safe level.

Class 1: Areas with Mana Concentration around 30,000 Turtz. This is the limit of the safe level, bordering into more dangerous.

Class 2: Areas with Mana Concentration around 50,000 Turtz. This is considered a Mana Disaster, still on a relatively calm level.

Class 3: Areas with Mana Concentration around 70,000 Turtz. This is considered an actual national emergency, with nations making preparations to lower the Mana Concentration while preparing defenses.

Class 4: Areas with Mana Concentration around 100,000 Turtz. This is a super mana disaster waiting to happen. To the point that animals and creatures can mutate into Behemoths, causing a Behemoth Stampede.

They are compared against Elementron Concentration and Type. The best kind of ratio is for it to be around 30% Elementrons and 70% Manatrons.

For example, Elementrons at 9000 Turtz at Class 1 are barely safe. But if it exceeds that, a specific Malentron Weather is more likely. If a Class 4 Weather happened, and Elementron ratio is nearly rivalling concentration of Manatrons, it will be extremely dangerous. If the Elementron was Hydrotrons for example, then it will be like ocean drops, droplets will be over 30km in diameter. If both Manatron and Elementron Turtz are at the same level, that is when the Perpetual Weather begins.

Weather is classified into Normal Weather, Mana Weather, and Malentron Weather. The difference is that Normal Weather has no Mana influence. Mana Weather is normal weather influenced by Mana, making it more aggressive. Malentron Weather is an element specific weather that can really range widely.

Seven Chaos Dragons

The Seven Chaos Dragons are all Chaos incarnate. All of them are purely made of Chaos Malentrons, and are considered Spiritual Lifeforms similar to Spirits. All 7 of them were chaotic from the beginning, but as they were raised by Stargaia and the Spirits, they started to develop their own personalities.

Igarnus: A massive black dragon with red accents. He resembles a western dragon. Igarnus is wise, as he is the eldest. Leads them. Controls Chaos Red, it is Primordial Chaos, representing Chaos before existence.

IItarius: A massive black dragon with orange accents. He resembles a western dragon. Iitarius is soft, spoiling the younger ones. Controls Chaos Orange, it is Evolutionary Chaos, representing the Chaos of Evolution.

IIIraria: A massive black dragon with yellow accents. She resembles a western dragon. Iiraria is fierce, she keeps the others in check. Controls Chaos Yellow, it is Battle Chaos, representing the Chaos of Battles.

IVegera: A massive black dragon with green accents. He resembles a western dragon. Ivegera is calm, speaks for everyone. Controls Chaos Green, it is Possibility Chaos, representing the Chaos of Possibility.

Vurnom: A massive black dragon with blue accents. He resembles a western dragon. Vurnom is playful, keeps the fun for everyone. Controls Chaos Blue, it is Creation Chaos, representing the Chaos of Creation.

VIlgrynd: A massive black dragon with indigo accents. She resembles a western dragon. VIlgrynd is sassy, tolerates no bs from no one. Controls Chaos Indigo, it is Entropy Chaos, representing the Chaos of Entropy.

VIIstaria: A massive black dragon with violet accents. She resembles an eastern dragon. VIIstaria is the most spoiled, a total brat for everyone. Controls Chaos Violet, it is Quantum Chaos, representing the Chaos of Quanta.

All of them are currently missing, separated. They had all gone their separate ways after Stargaia fell dormant. Each of them are looking for their own way to fight back the Miasma. Most of them are in a human form to blend in. They won’t harm any of the races, because they are all children of Stargaia. Of course, this doesn’t mean they wouldn’t wipe out those who try going after them.

True Heroes

True Heroes couldn’t be born anymore because there are not enough Pure Souls to form a Heroic Divine Soul. The world had developed into a more hateful place, unlike the glory eras of Stagaia. Furthermore, because of Slop Heroes, and with alot of them being such hateful icons, which only taints the purity of a soul. But, it isn’t just about Pure Souls. Stargaia’s permission and Love are missing due to her being dormant. Coupled with the fact that the Devolution Light had devolved most of them into a weaker state, which means the amount of Souls needed to forge a Heroic Divine Soul would go into the millions. The Devolution Light had also affected cognitive function severely, like how Monsterfolks became mindless monsters. Eden Humans for example, had become more ‘vulgar’ and emotional, their original high iq and eq dumbed down when devolving into Human. Spirit Elves had absurdly high iq and eq, so when devolved into Elves, they were dumbed down to the peak of Eden Human.

But while True Heroes are Souls formed from thousands of Virtuous Souls, that is not necessarily the only way for a True Hero to form.

True Heroes can form through Forging of the Soul. This is when individuals born do Virtuous Deeds which eventually form into the Virtuous Seed. This is due to Stagaia being a Karmic World, where the Good Karma received by those a Hero helps build up within their Soul. Eventually, the Virtuous Seed grows into the Virtuous Sapling that wraps around the Soul, infusing it. At this point, there is enough Good Karma that Aethertrons start to generate within the Vine, pumping the Soul with Aethertrons, and from there, the Hero slowly undergoes Evolution from Hero to True Hero.

A Heroic Divine Soul is when thousands of Virtuous Souls are fused into one, only allowed by Stargaia and permission of all those Souls.

A Virtuous Sapling Soul is the result of an individual’s good deeds made manifest, ascending them into a True Hero.

Nine Heroes

The Nine Heroes who all have a Virtuous Sapling Soul, and are directly Blessed by Ciel, which greatly increased their Lifespan. They typically use fake names. Their appearance changes frequently so that they can never be found. This is their current names, their true names are unknown.

Heilian Hua - Stagaia’s Sword.

Zuanqiu Shi - Stagaia’s Shield.

Guantian Kai - Stagaia’s Arrow.

Tenma Retsuzan - Stagaia’s Spear.

Hitomi Tengan - Stagaia’s Eyes.

En’o Aoi - Stagaia’s Flames.

Ji-an Hwa - Stagaia’s Mind.

Kkeungi Ji - Stagaia’s Armor.

Jiwoo Ae - Stagaia's Will.

There is no information about them, not even within the Cathedral. Basically ghosts.

Yea, I know I said Merchant was coming next, but ngl, I'm getting bored of making bots, the fire is literally burning out, I didn't feel passion for merchant so I didn't write it cause I don't want to create a bot I have no passion for, because I like my bots to be creations I enjoyed making. Not gonna lie, I had no passion for those more heavy bots I did, like the woke up as hero or party left you, they are my least favorite out of all my bots. Writing the Stagaia lorebook did make me interested, but that's about it.

I know I said I would maybe start drawing the characters to post at the end, but like, I'm kinda lazy, and honestly, I only initially wanted to draw because I was just THAT passionate, so I wasn't feeling it so I'm not gonna force myself.

Besides, I realised that making bots based on what people want makes it more boring for me, given that whole poll thing I did, so I'm gonna stop doing that. Okay, but I did have fun with those other bots, like the Bitches and the step bro main character one.

The world map was made by ChatGPT. I was shocked the dude could accurately write text on images...

I probably spent over a week making this lorebook, rather than the usual 2-3 days lorebooks I made. This is because I wanted it to actually feel like a world, so I got really detailed...man, I really am more suited for world building. Certainly more fun to write than characters. Be nice if it was a job, cause I would take it in a heartbeat.

I did use ai specifically for the commandments, jargon, and some general ideas about real life, since I had no idea how to make it sound heavy. My original one for the first commandment was literally 'Thou shalt not commit sin'. Basic ahh. The statistics and stuff I just got from ai cause I don't know what number works well. Though the army numbers I just added whatever.

I had my gripes about Adventurer's Guild. So then I remembered Slop Heroes are isekai'd, and they likely expected a guild, which is why the founder created it to bait those mfs.

No, I will not make a secretly evil church. That trope is so overdone, like what is wrong with a perfectly good church? Though granted, it does feel a bit weird since I'm used to these 'oh nooo, a church?? Must be eeeeevilll!!!'

Yes, I added mana into some actual science because it helps explains why plants are magical and so on. That part was fun as to make, especially since Manatrons and Elementrons are basically an atom with protons, electrons, and neutrons.

The Heavens being irresponsible, I changed it to a more psychological ruin. Initially, for the Worldborn Angels, I was kinda skeptical that they were that good and I just really felt bad. But I kept them in and added Heavenborn Angels to balance that feeling out.

While wondering how the heck I can make the Slop Heroes headaches considering nearly everyone hates them, Basharma provided that beautiful solution with their survival of the fittest. Man, that continent saved my ass. The Empire specifically. I then remembered that Slop Heroes can act benevolent, so that was added in too. I kinda just categorised them as a species in my mind, not as people. I then added that there is more Slop Heroes at S+ Ranks than natives to explain why they are needed. Initially, there were like a few thousand S+ Rankers who are native to Stagaia.

Obviously, there are inspirations, like that white whale from Re Zero, etc, the sun and freedom from One Piece, Velgrynd from Tensura (and some other stuff) and all that jizz. Though, it was more like me just taking whatever idea I think of and just shove it in. Mika reminded me of Mika from Genshin, and I was tempted to use that name so I did.

This bot is more for showcasing the worldbuilding tbh.

Peace out
