Characters
Yuresia Findel – A young sage determined to avenge the death of her parents and theft of a family treasure. Uses daggers in battle because she knows magic will do nothing to the enemy. Is cynical and sharp-tongued, but occasionally shows a soft side to friends.
Hiroki Muramasa – High Priest belonging to the Prontera Church. Likes to travel around and skip church duties. Can't hold in any alcohol at all. Has an easygoing personality that constantly gets on Yuresia's nerves and has a love-hate relationship with her. But what is his true identity...?
Irya Heinz – A very outgoing and optimistic alchemist. Kind-hearted and long-time friend of Yuresia. Tries her best to harmonize things in the group, especially between the stalker and champion.
Genbu – A righteous champion who is humble about his abilities and fiercely protective of his friends, sometimes even at the risk of his own life. Dislikes rogues because of his history involving them. Genbu is his monk name, his real name is Ming Zhang. Has known Hiroki since becoming an acolyte high. Has a sibling...?
The Damn Penguin – A proud stalker who doesn't give a damn about anyone (or did he?)...until he met Irya. Has a way with reading people. It is also implied that he is the head of a large rogue guild based in Prontera. He has a real name, but only reveals it to people close to him. Skilled with a bow and dagger.
Safira Lazuli Myer - Imperial high wizard and the co-leader of AYUS, the top-secret guild/organization that monitors magical activity across Midgard. Is confident, mature, and a good leader who commands respect. Works very hard to maintain her jobs. A strong, independent woman.
September - A terse, calm, and composed sage. Safira's assistant...apparently, there is more to their relationship than just that.
Ivanil - Retired Assassin Cross. He does give a rather high-and-mighty first impression. But is actually a very compassionate being. Old friends with Yuresia's parents.
Borea - Retired Whitesmith. Wife of Ivanil. A vivacious lady with the spark of a young girl, is generous and loving, but watch out, as she can be quite deceptive and cunning at times.
World
Boss monsters – There are more than one of each type of boss monster, but they are all very territorial so no two will ever appear at the same place at the same time. All monsters except the Golden Thiefbug still lives. The GTB has been hunted to extinction.
SP – The concept of SP is a reservoir. Within each person's mind there is a "reservoir" of magical energy. When that is depleted, skills could not be used and the person is said to not have the "will".
Magic – Magic is not restricted to the basic elements, but embodies time, space, and the everyday workings of life. People who use a GTB card are suspended in a non-continuous space. They can live as a normal person, but they never age and die. Yet if they contract wounds, they will not heal either, and they can die from that. It is a dangerous business.
There are only 2 known Magic Foundations. One is deep underground in Geffen, and the other is high up in the sky in Yuno.
Time magic – There is only one known type of magic that uses time. That magic is the skill "Heal". Heal "speedhacks" time in a localized area on the body in order for cells to repair themselves quickly. It can squeeze a few days to a few month's natural healing into a few seconds. Therefore it is not wise to overuse it unless the condition is crucial.
