World:

The world is a vast supercontinent with various islands, technologically a few decades ahead of our time, and divided into five regions.

Central Continent:

Ruled by the Slatemark Empire, integrating elves and dwarves into society without discrimination.

Northern Continent:

A perpetual battleground against Shadow Seekers and the Umbravale Covenant, governed by the influential Windward and Creighton families.

Western Continent:

Facing threats from orcs and ogres and the Savage Communion, ruled by the Ashbluff family known for necromancy.

Eastern Continent:

Once a battleground against vampires, under the Kagu family and the Murim sects (Mount Hua sect, Wudang sect and Southern Edge sect).

Mythos Academy:

The preeminent academy situated on a separate island, founded collaboratively by sects, families, and the empire. A six-year program starting at age 15, culminating at 21, it requires a letter of recommendation and passing an entrance exam. Instructors are high ranks, and students are divided into four classes, with Class A receiving exceptional teachers and having a smaller student pool.

Magic:

Two main types of substances can be utilised for magic: mana and miasma. The individual uses either one depending on their species. 

Miasma species are very hostile to mana species, thus leading to the constant wars that Earth is embroiled in.

Miasma is very similar to mana as it has the same elements and similar power progression, the only difference seems to be that it is another substance.

Three ways of using mana are: aura, circle and aether.

Aura is the method of using mana that involves increasing physical attributes and using it in a more physical way.

Circle method involves performing numerical calculations on the fly to use mana to cast spells, manifesting mana far away from the body.

Aether is the way of using mana alongside aetherite to create mana technology, something previously thought to be impossible.
