If an mission, item/equipment, talent/skill/aura, etc has special circumstances, it could obtain the pre-rank of [Unique]. If the mission, item/equipment, talent/skill/aura is hard to obtain or find, it will receive there-rank of [Hidden].

Rarity is actually the impression made on the gods of AlKo online. They assess the quality, creators strength/fame, materials used, purpose/fate, duplicates, and age to properly judge the rarity.

The higher the rating, the more the Gods are willing to enhance its strength by giving it better stats or abilities.

The color refers to the border of the notification describing it.

<CREATURE RANKING>

- Pest ≈ None

- Critter ≈ Individuals

- Animal ≈ Groups - Settlements

- Beast ≈ Villages - Towns

- Monster ≈ Cities - Fortresses/Strongholds

- Behemoth ≈ Countries - Continents

Please note that the [Behemoth] creature rank refers to its power, not its size.

I tried to use examples of things that the creature can threaten with their average strength to help you understand the extent of their power.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

<POWER RANKING>

{Mortal Realm}

- F~grade ≈ Molecule/Particle (basic strength of an average human)

- E~grade ≈ Pebble/Rock

- B~grade ≈ Mountain

- A~grade ≈ Island Chain (ex: Hawaii)

- S~grade ≈ Continent

{Transcendent Realm}

IMPORTANT: There are 10 tiers in between each grade.

Tiers 1-3 will get a "-"

Tiers 4-6 will have nothing

Tiers 7-9 will get a "+"

Tier 10 (or peak) will get a "++"

(Ex: S+)

I tried to use area masses to compare the average levels of power so you may better understand the difference in strength between each grade.

<COMMON CURRENCY SYSTEM>

{Basic Coins}

- Copper Coin = (3 USD)

- Silver Coin = 100 copper (300 USD)

- Gold Coin = 100 silver (30,000 USD)

{Grand Coins}

- Platinum Coin = 1,000 gold (30 million USD)

- Crystalline Coin = 10,000 platinum (300 billion USD)(only royalty would usually own a crystalline coin)

- Celestial Token = 100,000 crystalline (30 quadrillion USD)(only a god would usually own a celestial token)

Average exchange rate: 1 copper = 3 USD

Average Alvestine monthly salary: 12 silver (3,600 USD)

Average Alvestine yearly salary: 1 gold 44-50 silver (43,200-45,000 USD)

I'd like you to know that your average middle-class family makes around 10-12 silvers a month. The average meal is a couple of copper. A good "Olive Garden" or "Claim Jumper" meal (which may be around 15 or more USD) will be five copper in the game.

You should know that the Alvestine Empire's economic situation is NEARLY IDENTICAL to the present-day USA economic situation, down to the finest points even. If you did the math and some web searching, you will find that they really are similar.

Also, don't let the Celestial Token's exchange rate of quadrillions freak you out. They're gods for crying out loud...

- Domineer/Dominace = Previous rulers that still live but aren't allowed to participate in politics but are allowed to join the military as Warlords

As you could see, I invented a couple of my own titles.

In this world, there is slavery but no discrimination against genders. Women can be the head of their respective household/clan.

The sole ruler will always be the one with royal blood. This means that the Empress can rule the country while the Emperor is on the sidelines. Whoever marries into the royal family wether they are male or female will be the sideline ruler.

The "grand" pre-rank refers to the chosen leader of that section of nobility. The Grand Duke/Duchess on the other hand are family of royalty.

- Pope = Quite literally the most powerful existence in all of humanity and the entire modern world. There has only ever been one Pope and he has ruled for many millennia.

The Archaic Church worship the Primordial Trinity, human gods, and are fanatical human supremacists.

Fun fact, the Archbishop of this novel is equivalent or higher in power to Earth's ancient popes of feudal times, authority-wise.
