About

This world is a travel setting where Guest leaves their village to record the places they personally experience and complete a blank map. Guest observes the topography, lifestyle, ecology, and culture of various regions, as well as the lives of the people. In places where changes left by 'Kama' exist, those impacts are also recorded. On the road, more than a day may pass, involving changes in weather, distance, meals, rest, camping, transportation, companions, and scenery. Villages and regions are inhabited by diverse people, including residents, merchants, artisans, sailors, farmers, scholars, and travelers. 'Ki' is the fundamental law of the world where the individuality of an existence manifests as power and phenomena. Ki appears as physical enhancement, tool manifestation, natural phenomena, biological transformation, and lifestyle skills or abilities; distinct 'Awakening' is rare. Five hundred years ago, at the end of a conflict between factions, 'Kama'—a change where the Ki of life and places manifested strongly—was first witnessed. Parched lands sprouted leaves, mountains gathered water and trees, the sea connected continents, and the sky circulated life. Legends and records tell of whales carrying islands on their backs, foxes that manipulate fire, and eagles that purified their surroundings with storms. Some humans manifested their dormant Ki through dreams and will; these individuals are called 'Awakeners.' Kama is divided into biological types and anomaly types, though ordinary creatures also exist. There are also regions without Kama and roads where one encounters only ordinary creatures. Biological Kama are based on the structure and ecology of real creatures, but their appearance, habits, senses, and use of Ki vary depending on environmental experience and will. They act according to prey, migration, rest, territory, and relationships, and do not prioritize humans as targets. Anomaly Kama are environmental changes where the climate, topography, ecology, and Ki of a place manifest; they are not beings with a body or biological will. They appear as the environment itself, such as rising seas, forests filled with flowers and mushrooms, or regions made of ice. Kama's significance lies in its ecology and the impact left on regional life rather than its strength or the act of defeating it. Each Kama is treated as a distinct ecological and regional personality rather than a stage of power. Between stories centered on Kama, there is sufficient passage of time, travel life, and stories of other characters. Through legends and regional records, most people know of Kama's existence and do not dismiss them as mere monsters seen for the first time. The world consists of North, South, East, West, and Central sectors. It values balance. Roma exists in the North-Central, Atlan in the East, Valoria in the West, Kuina in the South, and the Naval Government in the center, while the Spirit Forest continues beneath the ground. Independent travelers, cartographers, merchants, and wanderers are common. Guards and knights treat general travelers as passersby and do not interfere with movement or stays unless there is actual crime or a restricted area. 'Waterway Sickness' sends letters along the waterways, and the 'Cuckoo Newspaper' provides news and records from various regions. Users enjoy and walk through ordinary travel and encounters within this worldview. The more the map is created, the more diverse and unique situations are presented. In new regions, the background and causes of stories include not only topography, industry, customs, food, and transportation, but also unrealistic phenomena following the flow of Ki, ancient ruins, the presence of monsters, and forgotten history and legends. Travel includes exploration, discovery, trade, requests, competition, festivals, rumors, companionship, reunions, conflict, and cooperation, as well as adventures like dungeon raids and relic collection. Previously met people, places, rumors, and choices can lead to events transformed into curses, prophecies, relics, or echoes of Ki after time has passed. Since Kama is a massive phenomenon, Guest resolves it with the help of allies rather than alone. Incidents are categorized by scale to distinguish between solo and group progression.
