--The world of Nights' Fury has a unique magic system, where magic is powered by three different resources: Mana, Pure Power, and Demonic Energy.
-Mana is the most commonly found magic resource and is represented by blue-colored magical energy. The amount of Mana an individual has varies, with a larger supply being more beneficial. When a person's Mana reaches 0, there can be negative consequences such as paralysis, a weakened magical stock, or even a permanent loss of magic.
-Enhanced Mana is similar to Mana but is a smaller stronger amount of energy that enables the user to unlock top-tier abilities of his element. When used in combat, enhanced Mana overwhelms the battlefield, being sensed and feared by most of the fighters.
-Pure Power is a highly condensed white-colored magical energy that is more powerful than Mana. Those who use Pure Power often have a limited supply, but the longer they fight and use their weapons, the more their Pure Power elevates. This resource enables the user to cast powerful spells that may take time to cast, and the user can't run out of Pure Power. And Pure Power wielders usually have rare and impressive magic elements.
-Demonic Energy is a light black-colored energy that is exclusive to demons or demon hosts (those who possess demons inside them). The energy overflows from the body of the owner, revealing their demon powers. However, Demonic Energy is a tricky resource as it grows by slowly absorbing from Mana and Pure Power. Demons can simply fall asleep when their Demonic Energy reaches 0, while demon hosts typically have a second magic resource, allowing them to have a significant advantage over others. It is worth noting that one cannot use both resources at the same time.
--In the world of Nights' Fury, magic energy permeates all aspects of life, from plants and inanimate objects to humans and animals. It is considered the very essence of existence.
--The world of Nights' Fury is divided into three dimensions: the Human Realm, the Blasted Lands, and the World's Fury realm.
-The Human Realm is inhabited primarily by humans, who primarily possess Mana or Pure Power.
-The Blasted Lands is a dangerous dimension that is home to demons. Only demons can safely enter this realm, as humans who enter will experience immense pain and eventually die.
-The World's Fury realm is a dimension that appears during the Nights' Fury and is technically a part of the Human Realm. However, it vanished and now has a higher concentration of magical energy and is full of danger and challenges that are nearly impossible to overcome. Surviving in the World's Fury realm is often considered a miracle.
--Every element has a powerful magic spirit, which is the embodiment of the element's magic energy. These spirits take the form of an animal or mythical creature and can be hosted by individuals.
--Power runes are mid-sized crystals that contain a rune symbolizing an element. When a demon dies, it leaves behind a power rune of its corresponding element, which can be used to enhance spells or harvested for its magic energy. However, only certain individuals are eligible to be chosen by a power rune. For example, those who are hosts of magic spirits or demons are not eligible. while Mana users have a high chance of being chosen and Pure Power users have a low chance. A power rune can be taken forcibly from its owner, but it will only be transferred if the owner is deceased or if the power rune chooses to do so. In areas with high concentrations of magic energy, power runes may take on the form of a beast.
--The Emerald of the Soul: It's a fragment located within the soul of a living being, symbolizing their will to survive. When threatened, the Emerald can trigger one of three dangerous consequences:
-A cursed sleep from which awakening is near impossible. In this state, one is tormented by their worst fears and nightmares, with death being the only escape from this perpetual nightmare.
-For demon hosts, a surge of demonic energy can lead to a gradual loss of their humanity and eventual transformation into a demon. To prevent this outcome, one must use the Grail of Miracles to make a wish and preserve humanity.
-When the Emerald shatters and its green hue begins to fade, the owner loses the ability to express their emotions, trapping them within their body. A cure for this condition remains unknown.
--Unique skills: Unique skills are techniques that are not available to everyone. These abilities are not related to an individual's elemental affinity, but rather a result of possessing an exceptional amount of magical energy. Some examples of exceptional abilities include telepathy, teleportation, levitation, and various forms of curses.
--Stats: They play a crucial role in determining the classification of an individual and can range from S-tier, A-tier, B-tier, C-tier, or non-existent:
-Speed: This stat determines one's velocity in running, flying, swimming, jumping, etc.
-Stamina: This stat gauges one's raw physical power, including their capacity for lifting weight and enduring damage.
-BIQ (Battle Intelligence Quantity): This stat influences a fighter's reflexes and their ability to think critically in high-pressure situations.
-Agility: This stat determines the speed of spell casting, attacking, dodging, and overall mobility in combat.
-Power Resource Stock: This stat represents the amount of magical energy an individual possesses, ranging from a plentiful supply to a limited supply.
-Blessing Power: This stat reflects one's ability to cast healing spells and protect their allies with protective shields, and other such techniques.
-Intellect: The higher one's intellect, the more powerful their ranged spells become and the greater their capacity to cast spells from a distance.
--Classification: Based on the different statistics, a person's class can be determined. No two people are likely to have the same stats, even with reincarnation. The following are the main classes a person can belong to based on their statistics:
-Casters: With high intellect and battle intelligence, casters use magic to cast powerful spells from a distance, providing significant support to their allies in battle. They have the largest reserves of power resources.
-Healers: With strong intellect, battle intelligence, and blessing power, healers can heal wounds, protect allies, and enhance their abilities with powerful spells.
-Hunters: Usually fighting from a distance, hunters have high agility, intellect, and occasionally strength, making them versatile and effective in battle.
-Fighters: Acting as the front line in battles, fighters have exceptional stamina, allowing them to withstand significant damage and a good balance of speed and battle intelligence.
-Assassins: Assassins rely primarily on stealth, poisons, and speed. They possess exceptional speed, agility, and battle intelligence, but their stamina is not their strongest attribute. They rely on their ability to dodge and trick their opponents to win battles.
--Power levels: Power level is a metric that reflects the strength of an individual. It can be increased through the use of spells or potions that boost one's stats. When a person with an extremely high power level is present and releases their full power, it can create a suffocating and intimidating atmosphere for those around them.
--Sacred Weapons: Sacred weapons are gifts from the gods, imbued with unique and specific abilities known as sacred techniques. If a sacred weapon is broken, the magic energy it contained transfers to its owner. While others may be able to wield a sacred weapon, they cannot access its sacred technique unless you are its owner.
-Perfect Control Weapons: These weapons can be summoned or dematerialized at will by their owner, allowing them to keep them in an invisible spiritual form for convenience.
-Imperfect Control Weapons: Unfortunately, these weapons cannot be dismissed and must be physically carried, which can be cumbersome for heavy weapons like hammers or great swords.
--There are, mainly, four kingdoms in the human realm, each represented by an element: Fire Kingdom, Water Kingdom, Frost Kingdom, and Volcano Kingdom.
(Nothing serious here, just the author homing that the reader would look forward to this story ^^)
The world was a fragile balance, kept in check by the four kingdoms that each held dominion over one of the four elements: fire, frost, volcano, and water. For centuries, they coexisted in a tentative peace, each respecting the other's power and territory. But then, whispers of an ancient threat began to stir, a menace that could destroy the entire world if left unchecked. The kingdoms knew that they had to work together if they were to have any chance of defeating this enemy. Despite initial reservations, even the queen of the fire kingdom agreed to participate in the plan under the threat of chaos being brought upon her kingdom by the other three. And so, they joined forces, drawing upon their unique strengths to combat the danger. For a time, it seemed that they might succeed. The kingdoms fought side by side, each contributing to the battle in their way. But then, an unforeseen event disrupted the newfound harmony, and everything changed. The fire kingdom found itself betrayed
Nobu approaches the chocolate seller, his eyes scanning over the array of tempting treats on display. As he picks up the chocolate bar, he can't help but inhale its rich aroma. "How much will this cost, please?" he asks politely, holding out some money. "That will be 250 Chronopennies," replies the seller, with a smile. "This chocolate is one of a kind, made with only the finest ingredients." Nobu hands over the money and takes the chocolate bar, his taste buds already salivating in anticipation. He takes a bite and savors the explosion of flavor in his mouth. "Wow, this is amazing!" he exclaims, his eyes widening in delight. "Thank you!" As he turns to leave, he notices the seller counting the money again, looking visibly angry, "Those aren't even a 100 kid!" the man shouts aggressively, only to be surprised by the absence of Nobu, "Where the hell... Did he teleport or something?" Nobu, meanwhile, walks down the bustling street with a grin on his face, savoring the rich taste o
As Reina concentrates, a sudden burst of energy surges through him, causing three symbols to materialize around his right eye in the form of glowing, triangle-shaped marks. With a flick of his wrist, Reina commands the symbols to rotate, tracing a perfect circle around his eye before vanishing in a flash of brilliant light. As the symbols fade away, Reina's once-green eye transforms into a mesmerizing shade of pink, revealing the full extent of his power. "Perfect Vision", is the name of this unique skill. Reina becomes attuned to the subtleties of people's auras - the type of magical energy they possess, and even their power level. With this newfound ability, he can locate individuals he had encountered before, effortlessly sensing their unique signature in the bustling crowds. "Nobu has no magical energy though", Thinks Reina, worried about his friend as he decides to embark on a quest to locate and help Nobu. As for Nobu, his heart is racing as he finally manages to free himself
Twelve years ago, a tragedy struck a Village, annihilating all those who lived peacefully there. he was just five years old at the time, and the village was known as Paradise. His father had disappeared in search of power and knowledge before the boy was even born, so he has never known his father. During his birth, a strange surge of energy emanated from his body. It wasn't mana or pure power. It wasn't even demonic energy. However, it was similar to the one witnessed during the entrance exam. This outburst of energy was beyond anyone's control and explanation. And it, unfortunately, resulted in the death of his mother. The force of the energy drained her magical energy and life essence, leaving her body as a mere shell of its former self. For three years after his birth, he had a terrible power that made him a source of fear and horror to the citizens of Paradise. Anything he touched withered and died, regardless of whether it was plant, animal, or human. Even though he had no magi
As Nobu and Reina finally cross the finish line, their friends are waiting eagerly for them. The group erupts into cheers and applause as they join the center of the battlefield, their Ash and the others running up to congratulate them with high-fives, hugs, and pats on the back. "Congratulations, you two! You did amazing!" Shouts Ash, beaming with pride as he claps Reina on the back. As the rest of their friends continue to celebrate, Satomi rushes toward Reina and Nobu, her face filled with concern. "It took you long enough," she says, her voice trembling with worry. "Satomi...", Reina tries to speak, but before he can say anything, Satomi throws herself at both of them, knocking them to the ground in a tight embrace. Tears stream down her face as she clings to her friends. "You made me worry, idiots!" she chokes out, her voice muffled by their bodies. "I even started thinking that some other participants will steal the last two spots, you know..." Reina and Nobu exchange a look
As they eagerly complete their selection forms, anticipation filled the air. With keys to their rooms in hand, the group separates, eager to explore their new surroundings. Sayuri and Satomi indulge in a luxurious shower, their voices carrying through the steamy mist as they chat and giggle. As the water cascades down their bodies, Satomi can't help but marvel at the fact that she's sharing a shower with a member of the prestigious Violra family. "Sayuri Violra," she says in awe, "I never thought I'd meet a royal so soon in our journey." Sayuri chuckles softly. "Being a royal isn't all it's cracked up to be," she replies, the water running down her face as she rinses out the suds. "But I can't deny that there are certain privileges that come with the title." Satomi can't help but laugh at her friend's modesty. "Are you kidding me?" she exclaims, her long dark hair splayed out behind her as she rinses it with shampoo. "Royals are not only wealthier, but their magical abilities are fa
Satomi stands in front of Nobu and Reina, her fists clenched and her face red with anger. Her friends look up at her sheepishly, knowing they've once again put themselves in danger. "You... Both of you..." She stammers, struggling to keep her temper in check. "Why do you always end up getting into these freaking deadly situations?" She screams, hitting their heads with her fists. "You could've gotten yourselves killed!" Nobu and Reina both flinch, hands over their heads as they feel the pain of the fresh blow, "We... We're sorry", They whisper in unison. "Um... Satomi?" Yagami interjects, his voice calm and soothing. He kneels beside Reina, his hands glowing with healing light. "Would you mind controlling your anger a little? I mean, no need to get their condition to worsen, right?" Satomi takes a deep breath, her anger slowly dissipating. She looks at her friends, concern etched on her face. "It's not my fault that they keep jumping into trouble!" She stammers, before taking anot
After a much-needed break, the fresh soldiers gather once again in the training camp, eager to tackle the challenges that lay ahead. While most of them are beaming with enthusiasm, Nobu lets out a sigh and buries his face in a bar of chocolate. "Why do we need to go through all this training before heading to the capital?" He grumbles. "It's such a hassle. I don't want to train anymore!" Sayuri playfully drums on Nobu's head as she chimes in, "That's so unlike you!" She says, "I thought you're the one who trains the most, but it appears you're not into working hard!" "It's not that he just hates training," Clarifies Reina, summoning his katana, "He's also feeling a little down because he heard that he's the weakest in three different stats." "Oh, I see." Sayuri's face lights up with understanding. As her eyes shine after spying on the bar of chocolate in Nobu's hands. "Ooh, that looks delicious! Can I have a piece?" She grins. But before she can even reach for it, Nobu quickly pul
