4 Chapter 4 : The world of Alsea
The world of Alsea is far bigger than earth. It might be a hundred, or even a thousand times bigger but no dwellers of the world has ever gone around the world to estimate the size. Not that they care about it, as most of the dwellers might not even leave their birthplace their entire life.
There are numerous sentient species in Alsea. Human, Elf, Dwarf,Demonkind and Fairy are born sentient. There are also sentient monsters that gained sentient through times like the Dragon. There are also monsters like goblin that gain sentient by evolving to their apex form. The born sentient species are mediocre existence in Alsea, as reflected by occupying just about 10% of the entire landmass of the Alsea world, which keep steadily dwindling due to internal conflicts and monster attacks. The rest of the mountain, jungle and seas remain unexplored to the various born sentient species.
Alsea is also different in the way that Mana existed in the air. Mana is the source of Magic where it is possible to be manipulated to create various phenomena such as fire, water, wind and many more provided the manipulator is capable enough. The study of Mana and Magic is a closely guarded secret of various faction to act as a trump card during war and conflict. Gaining enlightenment of Mana is easy however getting it to a level where a person is capable of hurting another person or a monster requires knowledge, talent and hard work.
There also exist what was called as Status Windows. Status windows can be checked by sentient individuals by thinking 'Status' in their mind. Status windows just shows the following data
Name :
Level :
Title :
One level can be gained by killing ten being of the same level, or one being of ten level difference. There are no distinction on how it goes about, only the last killing blow count.
While the knowledge of level is widely known throughout Alsea, by both sentient and not sentient beings, as if embedded to the genes of its inhabitant, no knowledge of title was known by them. Throughout the history of Alsea, varios titles came about such as Dragonslayer, Mass-murderer or Kingslayer.

There are many more titles that was discovered and not discovered by the being of Alsea. Title can be gained by various means, and can also be handed to another person by willingly transfering via head-to-head touch. Title can also be shown toward others by thinking 'Show Status'. This is also act as identity confirmation as well as a way to show credibility between business or personal dealings.
There are title that was gained by being born, such as 'Crown Prince', and title for being a criminal, such as 'Petty Thief', therefore most people that show their status usually feel safe by doing so.
