STRUCTURE

The World itself doesn't have a name, but the Story takes place from the Jadeyt Continent, the reason for this name, was something random I decided on(or maybe not).

And the Jadeyt Continent, which is about the size of South America and North America combined, as well as several smaller and smaller islands around it.

The Continent is divided into 2 different worlds so to speak, these being:

- Common: The "world" where ordinary people, civilians so to speak, people who do not practice Inner Energy or other types, to strengthen themselves, in other words, ordinary people! They make up 90~95% of the world and are ruled by Nations!

- Murim: The "world" where Martial Artists live, those who cultivate Internal Energy, allowing them to break rocks with their fists, fly swords hard enough, and easily annihilate armies of hundreds to thousands with a few strikes!

Normally the government forces of the "Ordinary World" hate Murim people, because they are the controlling people, i.e. the Nobles and Politicians, they don't want people who are born in their lands to end up entering the Murim World and become independent, because if they are to fight, let it be for them.

But even if you have this strong enmity, in the end there is something called "Strength," with enough strength, it doesn't matter if you are the Emperor of 100 million people, I will invade your palace and pat you on the ass, sleep with your wives, and you won't be able to do anything!

That's why there is this distinction between the worlds, to avoid conflicts that obviously happened a lot in the past, it's even related to the emergence of the Sanctified Factions, because the Martial Artists of the past were even more arrogant and cruel.

So in a very simple way, there were huge wars with the Nations trying to annihilate the Murin World, but it fought back and caused the death of millions within a few decades, finally peace came, along with the separation between the worlds.

While the Ordinary World avoids dealing with the Murim, it takes care in dealing with the lives of Civilians, for if discovered, the Sanctified Faction will get involved and the damage will be severe for the Martial Artists involved.

Of course, this penalty only affects the Martial Arts Masters, below that, the government forces can handle without much trouble, as they also have their Masters and Grand Masters.

Demonic Faction

The Demonic Faction, or Evil Faction, are considered the Martial Arts Families, Clans and Sects that don't care about the laws of the world, they do whatever they want because strength is the greatest voice and the rest doesn't matter!

A good part of the Demonic Factions cultivate Evil Arts, from Vitality Theft, Sacrificial Rituals and among others that affect both the Murim and the Common.

Demonic Factions are constantly hunted and antagonized outside their territories, which always start wars for whatever reason.

80% of the Demonic Factions are in the Barren East, a zone that is considered wild, dominated by many Demonic Factions and is a lawless land, so to speak.

––––––

Black Faction

The Black Faction, or Neutral/Caotic Faction, are considered the Martial Arts Families, Clans and Sects that are on the verge of becoming a Demonic Faction, but they are quite limited in their ideals and teachings, in themselves they don't antagonize the cultivation of Evil Arts, as long as it doesn't bring harm to the Clan as a whole.

The Black Faction in itself are ambitious forces, which are the ones that get into conflict the most, even more than the Demonic Factions, but it's mainly due to the fact that 30~35% of the Murim forces are considered part of the Black Faction, it may seem bad, but due to the lack of unity and the gigantic amount of land, it's obvious that it's difficult to even gather 5% of these forces, much less all 30~35%.

In itself there are no limitations to an individual's actions, as long as it doesn't approach the level of the Demonic Factions, in case it is discovered, it can cause execution or expulsion, but it depends on the person itself, if it is the son or daughter of some leader or influential person, it goes without saying what happens.

60% of the Black Factions are found in the West, a hotly contested area due to the natural resources and where at least 1/3 of the entire population of the continent lives. The 40% are spread between North and South, but mostly in the South, since the North is Sanctified Faction territory.

White Faction

The White Faction or Neutral/Bright Faction, are considered the Families, Clans and Sects of Martial Arts, which are very similar in mentality and deeds to the Black Faction, only that they have more scruples and limitations, being very strict about Martial Arts, as long as it isn't considered Evil or very obscure, there are no problems.

The White Faction's ambitions are similar to the Black Faction's, constantly seeking new resources and land, getting into many conflicts, but compared to the Black Faction, they are calmer and more prone to peaceful dialogues.

Of course there are many problems relevant to the White Faction, such as the fact that the Black Faction hates them, due to the fact that they think they are a bunch of hypocrites, who not wishing to follow the "righteous" paths, stay on the fence and act like good and kind people. In the end they are all Martial Artists who need to fight and kill to reach solid levels in their Martial Arts.

70% of the White Factions are in the South, a very disputed zone due to the abundant natural resources and complicated terrain, which Martial Artists practically love, there is also the fact that they have many Mines and Quarries, but they are mainly nations' lands, where the forces have only a part of these resources.

––––––

Sanctified Faction

The Sanctified Faction or Good/Faithful Faction, are considered the smallest in number, since each Sect and Clan is very old and strict about religion and family ideals!

Among the 4 Factions, they are the smallest in number, but in return, for being able to have almost absolute control of the Northern region of the continent, this is due to the fact that even the smallest force among them is over 500 years old, as well as having generated powerful Martial Artists that have shaken the world in some way.

The Sanctified Faction itself stays in its Mountains and Sacred Lands, practicing, constantly opening the doors of its Sects and accepting disciples willing to be indoctrinated.

They avoid combat, but it doesn't mean that if taken into a corner, they will get beaten up, in fact, their Martial Arts being older and undergoing countless changes over the years, they are considered the most firm and powerful Martial Arts, with so many experts instructing the new generations, using powerful and systematic Martial Arts, it results that in exchange for quantity, they have Quality among Martial Artists!

90% of the Sanctified Factions are in the North, a vast and prosperous land, where the main cities of nations are, where money really moves, being the 2nd region with the largest population. The remaining 10% are more reclusive forces scattered and hidden around the continent and surrounding islands.

Note: I will not present any powerful forces from the Factions above, I am still structuring the world and will only show them when necessary.

Nations

Krosta Empire, having +700 Years of History and possessing 70% of the Jadeyt Continent under its control, having abundant resources that envy all the forces of the world and its Emperor, Tibetios Krosta III, is a powerful Martial Artist who is said to be at the Profound Realm, the current peak of worldly Martial Arts, it is said that his rage and martial feats can shake the very heavens!

Emperor titles: "Sage Emperor", "God of Martial Arts" and "Great Sun of the Empire".

The remaining 30% of the Jadeyt Continent is divided between 4 smaller Kingdoms that are constantly going to war against the Krosta Empire, but their actions are mainly the defense of their lands.

But besides these 4 Kingdoms, there are also many ownerless lands, where Martial Artists and wildlife live.

In itself the Continent was proclaimed already having its owners, but it can be said that 40~50% of the territory of the Continent belongs to Murim's forces or to nobody, another reason why there are many conflicts between Murim and the Nations.
