Word Arts

1. Laws of the world that permit and establish phenomenon and living creatures that

physically shouldn't be able to exist, such as the construction of a gigant's body.

2. Phenomenon that conveys the intentions of a speaker's words to the listener,

regardless of the speaker's race or language.

3. Or the generic term for arts that utilize this phenomenon to distort natural

phenomena via "requests" to a certain target.

Something much like what would be called magic. Force, Thermal, Craft, and Life Arts

compose the four core groups, but there are some who can use arts outside of these

four groups. While necessary to be familiarized with the target in order to utilize these

arts, powerful Word Arts users are able to offset this requirement.

Force Arts

Arts that inflict directed power and speed, what is known as momentum, on a target.

Thermal Arts

Arts that inflict undirected energy, such as

heat, electrical current, and light, on a target.

Craft Arts

Arts that change a target's shape.

Life Arts

Arts that change a target's nature.

Visitors

Those who possess abilities that deviate greatly from all common knowledge, and

thus were transported to this world from another one known as the Beyond. Visitors

are unable to use Word Arts.

Enchanted Sword. Magic Items

Swords and tools that possess potent abilities. Similar to visitors, due to their mighty

power, there are some objects that were transported here from another world.

Aureatia Twenty-Nine Officials

Generals are military officers.

Self-Proclaimed Demon King

A generic term for "demonic monarch" not related to the One True King among

the three kingdoms. There are some cases where even those who do not proclaim

themselves as a monarch, but who wield great power to threaten Aureatia, are

acknowledged as self-proclaimed demon kings by Aureatia and targeted for

subjugation.

Sixways Exhibition

A tournament to determine the True Hero. The person who wins each one-on-one

match and advances all the way through to the end will be named the True Hero.
