《Hero? I'm assassin, but that's the same right?》World [Info Dump]
Advertisement
So... I read a bit of (Kumo) and decided to go with similar approach to the world. Just instead of voice it's [DING].
Next is the levels. When someone levels up he won't get unallocated points, if he can't access [Status] by himself/herself. Instead user will get some increase in stats for his classes. Heroes beside unallocated points will also have stats increase, but in exchange they can't choose class until level 10, and they are longer to level up.
Next is Masteries and their skills, or more correctly powers. Regular creatures of this world gain mysteries at a slow rate, so for a magician to be at least in competent mastery level in, for example water magic, he needs to train under the teacher from young age (usually magicians take apprentices at the age of 5) and if he trains regularly and studies magic properly, he will be Competent by the age of 35-40. If he has some talent then he could be Competent by 30. But to become expert... He needs ten more years... Usually humans rarely become Master level, though some exceptions are in order. Elves have lower learning speed and usually need 3-7 times more... Time to advance mastery in level. Elves usually live for 700-1000 years, so they have quite a lot of time for mastering skills. Other races usually have similar learning speed to humans, just they get some tweaks, depending on the race. So wolf-kin get better learning speed do hth combat and light armor, while worse at magic related masteries.
The world is 2.3 times the size of Earth, but has the same time measures as we do. Gravity is the same too... Ain't magic convenient?
Money...
Well humans have the small coins and big coins for their currency. They are using copper, silver and gold, but in some cases they may use platinum. All 100 copper is 1 silver, 100 silver is 1 gold and 1000 gold is platinum. Small coins cost 1 coin, while big 10. Humans are naming their prices in respected coins, like 53 copper, 12 silver or 123 gold. Gold also has royal coins, which has a value of 100 gold, but only nobles use them as usually regular human need only 3.2 gold coins to live comfortably through the year for one person (middle class) and 0.8 to survive.

Dwarfs have metal coins, and each next metal coin costs 10 of the previous. Its stone, obsidian, copper, iron, silver, gold, ebony, mithrill, orichalcum, adamantine. To get mithrill you need to have 100 ebony, 100 mithrill is 1 orichalcum and 100 orichalcum is 1 adamantine.
Elves have enchanted wood. It's comes from simple wood chips, dark wood, elf wood, dryad wood and ancient wood. All have small and big, as humans with difference being size of enchant. Also substitute for magic, as they store some mana in the enchants.
Merfolk (water-kin) have shells, corals and pearls as currency.
Beast-kin use beads and rings, as they don't like pouches they wear them on strings.
Demons... Dunno yet... But... I'll write about them as soon as I think of proper currency.
Monsters are usually have no currency. Exceptions are those that live amongst beast-kin.
Adventurers go in order of I
[I] is the lowest and usually refers to as rankless, or [infant] for only very weak and children have it. H rank is mostly those who are weak and therefore gatherers and/or apprentices (all children). G is reserved for teens, while F is a regular (non-combat) citizen.

This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
