Empires Order Information

Hey so this is a chapter dedicated to the information you need to know about Empires Order it will be updated the more that this world expands, which I'm hoping will be quite a bit. I'M WORKING ON CHAPTER 15s ISSUES I POSTED THE EDITED VERSION THOUGH!

LEVELING

So this is a leveling based novel similar to a video game, however instead of using your average EXP based leveling it will have a more realistic feel because it is based on the characters ability to learn from battle. If you are talented and pay attention in battle so you can use it in your next adventure you'll be able to level up a bit faster than the average person that takes a lot of time to learn anything.

A big part of this so far is the ability to use skills, if you choose not to use skills during your fights you cut down on a lot of the knowledge that you could be gaining in order to level up and do better next time.

Forrest-Much of the country is covered in forest but has been cleared in areas for the farms, villages, and cities.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Whenever the MC accomplishes something that the system deems reward worthy it will be displayed with "ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!" Followed by it's title, what the MC had to do to unlock it, and the reward for unlocking the achievement.

SKILLS

Skills are abilities that Cogs are able to learn more easily than the natural born citizens of the world. It's part of the reason why they are considered to be natural born adventurers. Skills can be learned through combat, unlocking achievements, and skill books.

Skill books hold some of the more powerful skills as those have to do with magic.

MAGIC

Most magic skills can not be learned without a skill book unless your class has a connection to an element then some small skills related to those elements might become available to you without a skill book. Skill books can not be read automatically, you have to have a teacher to be able to learn how to read them. A teacher can only be hired however after you've reached a level of 1500 prestige.

PRESTIGE

You earn prestige by completing jobs in this world, or can be rewarded to you by a city, or country for major contributions to the safety or welfare of it's citizens. This is a rare occurrence so most adventurers have to grind jobs to gain prestige. Another rare way to gain prestige is through the achievement system. Prestige is a currency that can affect a Cogs entire life with high enough Prestige Cogs are able to buy land, create their own guilds, find teachers of magic, get rare items and skills, and take on epic jobs. The higher a Cogs prestige the better their life can be.

COGS

Children of the Gods/Immortals a name given to those adventurers whose consciousness was born from that of an immortal and sent to the world of Empires Order. Cogs are considered a very useful tool to all nations of the world and wars are fought with them, the adventurers circuit drives most economies, and powerful Cogs are used as political pieces. The MC is a Cog.

IMMORTALS

Not a lot is known about the immortals so far, the only one we've met is Sera so the Cogs and the world knows that they are very real, and have accepted that. It is believed that the Immortals created the world of Empires Order and send their children to help the world prosper. In the MC's country the Cogs are born in temples more often than not and their first experience of the world of Empires Order is the interpretation of the Immortals by the church.

ENEMIES (so far)

Flying Beetles- A large flying beetle whose attack patterns are fairly simple to read, has a hard shell on it's back to protect it's wings and a horn on it's head to attack.

Spider Golems- A training tool used to help the MC level up whenever the Immortal Sera comes to train him.

Rats- Very large rodents that attack in groups often aiming for sneak attacks and weak spots.

Stone Wolf- Very large wolf with a howl that can knock down a grown men, large knife like claws, and razor sharp teeth.

Trolls- Large (Can reach up to 16 ft) semi intelligent creatures known to have a craving for human flesh and the ability to use rudimentary weapons (such as clubs), grey tan skin and a mouth full of k-9 teeth to rip flesh from bone.
