AUTHOR P.O.V:
This world is known as the Aderon Continent.
There are Three Kingdoms in the Continent. Vrisorid Kingdom, Woodrow Kingdom, Dragruel Kingdom. While the Planet is covered with 4/5 of the endless seas.
Well, legends says that there are other continents, but since the sea in vast, not many people have discovered much about them. So, officially Aderon is the only continent we all knew about.
On the Continent, apart from humans, there were other races that were small in number, such as the kind Elven Race, the Dwarvish Race, and the Demon Race. There also dwelled the Mana beasts in the deep forests. The Demon races are currently in the Demon Realm, while there are other races but, since the end of the Holy Mother war, Most of the Legendary beasts and races has disappeared without a trace, or possibly extinct according to the peoples.
The races are spread throughout the Continent, and for thousands of years, they have lived in peace with the humans. However, as the place where the strong holds the power, things have become rather suffocating even though everyone is living in peace.
The Continent has a single currency system. The conversion rate used is in multiples of ten, 1 gold coins = 10 silver coins = 100 Bronze coins.
....
In this world, Mana comes from the force of life.
As a result, Mana Arts or Magic are a part of everyone and everything, including the world's atmosphere. Nonetheless, not everyone is capable of possessing mana. Because the mage-to-non-mage ratio is one out of every hundred.
So far, no conflict has resulted from these differences, and no tensions exist between either side.
There are some who are looking into ways to expand the magical potential within each being, so far with only small successes.
There are many uses for magic, but according to the legends, it was initially created for warfare, battles and hunting.
However, magic is necessary for survival in this world dominated by powerful individuals.
Mages would draw mana from the surrounding environment into their bodies, eventually condensing it in their Mana Core.
A Mana Core or foundation can be activated when a person is born.
Following that, you can use magic as long as you have mana in your core.
A Mana Core can be one of six different colors: black, red, orange, yellow, silver, or white.
Because the body's blood and other impurities mix with the mana particles as they form a mana core, one's mana colour begins as black.
Except for white core, which does not have stages, each stage of the mana core colors is divided into three shades (dark, solid, and light). In general, the purer one's mana core was, the lighter the mana core colour.
As a result, one had greater access to power.
The mana core becomes purer over time as impurities are filtered out, with dark, solid, and light stages for each colour. The mana core's colors are Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, Silver, and White.
After White the next stage is known as Transcended, this stage has never been seen but has been hinted at heavily and named briefly. There was no one who had progressed further than White core. There only legends about people progressed towards Transcended, can reach the level beyond every living thing.

ETHAN P.O.V:
Its been eight years since my adopted father, Edwin Asher rescued me.
He made sure to give my mother a proper send off, and took me as his son.
My father bought me to his house, where he, his wife and like me, five kids he adopted, living in the house.
My adopted parents didn't had the opportunity to have kids, so they adopted children like me, who went through some horrible things.
I had a new elder sister named Alice, and three elder brothers named, Roy, Ron, and Rock.
Big bro Roy and Big Bro Ron are twins and big bro Rock is the eldest of us all.
The house was placed inside the forests, and it was good to have such a cozy place than a cold street.
The house I grew up is very warm, with a fireplace burning on the wall, giving off a warm atmosphere. The decorations are very simple, but it can be considered as a complete set of tables, chairs and benches, with rooms on both sides, and stairs leading to the upper floor.
"Ethan!" My mother, Lara's voice resonated through the walls.
And yeah, my name is Ethan in this life by the way. Erhm...Ethan Asher.
As she she called me, my mother walked aside, and poured some cups of hot water that are kept in the dining table.
I have learnt a lot in these eight years. apparently, there is magic in this world and my father and mother are training us in magic and fighting.
Thank gods, I had mana. But, I don't know from whom I had inherited my mana from.
"Only Study hard and let yourself have the power to protect yourself and the weak, so that you can survive in the true sense!" Was the code that my father taught us since I was two.
...I had a code too, so I down to follow the man who rescued me.
So, with my past life's memories and techniques, I am training everyday. To become strong, in this continent.
As for now, "Boys! Go bath in the back yard, and you Alice will be comming with me! You all smell so bad with your trainings! Eww!" My mother said as she pulled Alice towards the bathroom. While, we guys smiled and went ahead towards the backyard.
"Hey! Ron! Carry Lil Eth with ya!"
"Huh! I will not! My shoulder hurt. Big bro Rock, you carry him!"
"Brothers, I can wlalk by myselv!" Damn that adorable stumbling mouth of mine.
"Alright! Here we go!"
"Haha"
