★This story takes place on a fictional version of Earth, located in the same solar system and sharing the same shape as our real Earth. However, this world diverges in a striking way
> Earth has one moon and a luminous ring encircling it . The ring rotates with the planet, always remaining fixed above the same location. This creates a mysterious zone of eternal shadow known as the Dark Spot.
★This Earth contains nine vast continents, each surrounded by smaller islands. These continents form a near-circle around a massive body of water at the center of the world called the Great Sea.
At the heart of the Great Sea lies the legendary land of Atlantes, a central and perhaps sacred continent.
If you imagine the world from above, the continents are arranged like a ring around the Great Sea, resembling a giant donut. On the opposite side of the continents lies the Outer Sea, a vast and unknown ocean that borders the world's edge.
The Great Sea and the Outer Sea are not isolated; they are linked through a vast network of major rivers and smaller seas that weave across the continents, creating natural trade routes and mystical channels of travel and migration.
★Each of the nine continents is referred to as a Great Kingdom or Grand Nation. These massive realms are divided into multiple regions called Kailands, which are akin to counties or provinces.
*A Kailand contains multiple villages or towns.
All Kailands within a continent fall under the rule of a Supreme Ruler, though the nature of this rule may vary depending on the kingdom's government or traditions.

Lets talk about power system.
🔷 Power System ★1- Mana
What Is Mana?
In this world, Mana is not just mystical energy like other stories . It is the primordial force from which all existence flows. It is physical, spiritual, biological, metaphysical, magical, and cosmic a singular essence with infinite expressions.
All matter, all laws, all timelines and realities are manifestations of mana in various forms.
> "Nothing can exist without mana; even the laws that govern physics are written in its ink."
Mana as concept transcends dimensions and realities, though each may call it by a different name. In this universe, everything is made of mana even time, gravity, and thought.
🔹 Mana Core
Every being holds within them a Mana Core, a metaphysical center where mana resides.
Most intelligent beings can learn to control and channel their mana...this is known as Mana Control.
Power comes from the ability to push mana outside the core.
★Capacity is the amount of mana one can store.
★Accuracy is how precisely that mana can be used or general mana power level.
>Once a person learns to release mana from their core, they awaken to one of four elemental affinities: Fire ;Water ;Soil ;Air
This elemental alignment becomes their base power and influences their future growth.
🧬After developing elemental control, individuals eventually awaken a Unique Skill which is a power shaped by their soul, DNA, bloodline, or personality.
These are highly personal and often synergize with the user's elemental ability, creating nearly limitless variation.
--The essence of all advanced combat is Mana Control the ability to draw mana from within and either:
>Project it externally (as blasts, constructs, etc.)
>Channel it internally to enhance the body or objects
As Examples- A wooden sword, infused with mana of a person with high mana accuracy , becomes strong enough to shatter diamond.
A person with high mana accuracy can move or strike in ways that defy physics, bending gravity or inertia itself.
> "Even the laws of physics are made of mana which can be bent… or broken by mana.
A high mana capacity gives greater physical strength and endurance but doesn't guarantee powerful techniques.
High mana accuracy allows for extreme control, efficiency, and reality-defying feats, even with low capacity.
Like-
A boulder with brute strength (high capacity).
A scalpel with precision sharp enough to slice through steel (high accuracy).
★ Mana must be used with caution.
Overusing mana drains the physical body.
Worse, if too much is used, it begins to draw from the soul.
This leads to-
Lifespan loss
Soul degradation
Eventual death
-Thus, warriors prefer not to rely on mana for trivial tasks like sprinting across lands when a horse will do.
🧘 Growth and Refinement-
🏋️ Physical Training
Improves mana accuracy
Enhances internal flow and control
🧘♂️ Meditation Training
Increases mana capacity
Refines spiritual flow and energy recovery
Both forms can support each other when practiced with dedication.
However -
Intense experiences pain, loss, rage, revelation can awaken or deepen one's mana.
These spiritual shocks often refine the soul's mana, accelerating growth through suffering.
Overall....
Mana All-encompassing energy; essence of reality
Mana Core The internal source of one's mana
Capacity; The amount of mana one can store/use
Accuracy; The precision and efficiency of mana control
Elemental Affinity ;First major ability unlocked after awakening
Unique Skill ;Personal power tied to soul, DNA, or bloodline
Mana Control; Mastery over internal and external application of mana
Exhaustion Overuse leads to muscle death, soul damage, and even death.
