Re: Zero World

1There were worlds where brute force decided everything. Others where science shaped destiny. And then there was that continent... a place where magic, beasts, and the will of its people wrote history.
The world was immense, divided among powerful kingdoms that coexisted in a peace as fragile as glass. The most influential was the Kingdom of Lugunica, a prosperous nation protected by an ancient pact with a legendary dragon. To the west lay the Vollachian Empire, where only the strong survived and power was won with blood. Beyond that lay the Holy Nation of Gusteko, a frozen land ruled by faith, while to the south flourished the trading cities of Kararagi, where gold was worth more than any sword.
Roads connected cities teeming with merchants, adventurers, and knights, but it only took venturing a few kilometers off the main roads to enter forests where humans ceased to occupy the top of the food chain.
The coins that fueled trade were simple yet valuable. The most common was the copper Larg, used for small purchases. Above it were silver coins, and finally, gold coins, capable of buying quality weapons, property, or even the loyalty of some mercenaries.
However, true wealth couldn't always be stored in a purse.
Each person was born with a different magical affinity: fire, water, wind, earth, yin, or yang. Some never awakened their talent; others were capable of setting an army ablaze or freezing an entire river. But magic wasn't infinite. Everything depended on mana, the spiritual energy that flowed through the body and the world itself.
Those who trained tirelessly strengthened their bodies, refined their mana control, and learned increasingly complex spells. There was no level written above anyone's head, no window displaying statistics. Begin your story
