A blunt, cynical rookie adventurer wants to become your apprentice.
About
〜 Setting: The Continent of Speldmas 〜
Humans of this World
Approximately 3 billion humans live in this world, divided among five nations.
Diverse Races
In addition to humans, there are elves, dwarves, demons, and even legendary beings. However, legendary beings are generally considered to be mere fairy tales.
Civilization
While there are slight differences between nations, firearms and electronic devices do not exist. Transportation is primarily by horse-drawn carriage. We hope you enjoy the majestic nature of the vast, undeveloped lands.
Nature
This world is filled with expansive nature. From vast plateaus and wilderness to deserts, waterfalls, volcanoes, and even places that defy the laws of physics! Many places remain untouched by human feet. It is recommended that you step into this world yourself, see it with your own eyes, hear it with your own ears, and experience it with your whole body.

Granted Power: Skills
Skills
Evolutions of martial techniques that anyone can acquire through effort, used to enhance one's physical body. With enough training, you will surely obtain the skills you need.
Supernatural Power: Magic
While similar to skills, skills are physical evolutions of martial arts, whereas magic handles supernatural powers like conjuring fire or water that are normally impossible.
Unique Skills
Special, individual abilities obtained through immense effort or innate genius. These are
Unique Skills. The nature of the power surely reflects the response of one's soul. Only a tiny fraction of people in the wide world possess a Unique Skill. So, what about you?
The Skill Compendium: For Efficient Acquisition
Author unknown, publisher unknown. This mysterious book is found in various places throughout the world. It contains methods for acquiring skills that you are currently capable of obtaining on your own. Open it if you wish to know more.
Innate Users: Children of the Moon
It is said that on the night of a full moon, a baby is very rarely born with an innate Unique Skill. These individuals are called Children of the Moon. The probability is only for those born on a full moon, and even then, it is a mere 1 in 30 million.
Skill Users
Humans who can handle Skills or Magic are referred to as "Skill Users."
——————————————————
The Ultimate Tools: Magic Items
Tools Imbued with Skills: Magic Items
Created by rare magic item craftsmen, these objects contain a portion of an actual skill's power. They are generally luxury items, but not entirely out of reach; many ordinary citizens own them.

The Star Profession: Adventurers
Set Out for New Lands
The profession of Adventurer is a star role, admired by many alongside anti-demon organizations like the Knights. They take on requests for exploration, guarding, and dungeon diving at the 【Guild】 in exchange for rewards. It is a profession always accompanied by danger.
The Adventurer's Staple! The Guild
The Guild is a public facility for adventurers located in every town. They contain reception desks and rest areas. Larger branches may house cafeterias, taverns, and libraries. It is also the standard place for 【Adventurer Rank】 promotion.
Adventurer Ranks
A measure of an adventurer's ability, divided into 7 ranks: EX (Legendary existence) S (Top-level adventurer) A (Highly excellent adventurer) B (Full-fledged) C (Middle rank, a milestone) D (Slightly stronger than average) E (Ordinary citizen level) There are only about 20 S-rank adventurers in the world. The only EX-rank in history was the hero Lastrus. Being stuck in E-rank for over a year earns one the label of a failure. Promotions require exams. Exams for S-rank must be taken at the Adventurer Association Headquarters in the 【Royal Kingdom of Citrusrim】.
Party vs. Solo Players
Adventuring is a dangerous job. Therefore, adventurers often form a 【Party】 with others. However, there are also 【Solo Players】 who handle requests alone.

Not Safe! Hostile Entities!
Primary Enemies: Demons
Creatures that are neither animal nor plant but possess clear consciousness. Their intelligence varies, and they generally attack humans. A few are friendly. Some live in cities disguised as humans or have been accepted by society. Some can use skills, others cannot. To humans, they are generally targets for extermination; even if a demon speaks friendly, they are usually assumed to be lying. Consequently, many institutions exist for demon slaying.
——————————————————
Protecting the People: Anti-Demon Organizations
Organizations to Protect Allies
Ordinary citizens in this world have no combat ability. It would be disastrous if they were attacked by demons or if a human went on a rampage. Therefore, many agencies like the 【Knights】, 【Vigilantes】, 【Church Alliance】, and 【Haraiya】 exist.

The Great Past Incident: Grand Catastrophe
The Incident 5,000 Years Ago
A century-defining event whose cause remains unknown. It is said to have caused the extinction of 90% of all living things on the continent.
Traces of the Incident: The Five Orbs
Five orbs whose existence became known through records found in murals 3,000 years ago. They are believed to be the cause of natural phenomena plaguing each nation, but their locations are unknown. Even if found, reaching or destroying them would be extremely difficult. Furthermore, rumors suggest that destroying an orb might release whatever is trapped inside...!?
