《Embrace the Blade》Quick Review and Terms To Know

Story Recap:
After a life of being crippled, Crimson was given a mission, a new body, name, and reborn at the behest of a God by the name of Raften The Overseer, granted power, he is tasked with becoming powerful enough to kill the secret boss of his new world.
Upon waking, Crimson found himself living on a farm as a hired hand under the care of Lars and his wife Symia - giving him time and privacy to adapt to his new - functioning - body.
While there, Crimson learned about the Gods, taught himself how to use his mana, and ended up accidentally naming a child when he suggested a name the parents liked.
After spending a week on the farm, Crimson began his journey to the capital of the country he was in: Falst.
During his journey, he discovered that his eyes have a power to make people flinch with eye contact, he also met a party which he swiftly nicknamed: ‘The Harem Squad’ who were also going to Falst to join the Adventurers’s Guild. Their leader, Abel, offered to allow Crimson to join them - an invitation he swiftly declined based on instinct, and separated from them.
As is later revealed, this party was prepared by Raften to give Crimson comrades immediately, but it was a gift he elected not to receive.
Upon arriving in Falst, Crimson acted as a temporary record keeper for the Adventurer’s Guild and joined the Guild officially as a member of the Brass Rank -a class of trainee adventurers for underage kids- after finishing his task.
Crimson spent his time taking requests, studying, and exploring Falst - swiftly discovering the existence of secret passages in Falst due to his special affinity to mana. In those secret passages, he found a great door with a massive lock that he was unable to open, and he also discovered that one of the passages let out in the castle, into a hidden library called the Astral Library.
Within the library, he found knowledge that couldn’t be found anywhere else and utilized that knowledge to prepare himself to receive access to the system of the world on his 16th birthday. During his frequent visits, he was caught by, and befriended, the First Princess: Rhinese al voth Alda, and they chose to learn together, with her getting advice and second opinions from Crimson.

Back at the Guild, Crimson got a mentor in the form of Mars, a Bearkin Adventurer and brother of the Guild Master, who firmly believed that the best method to help him learn how to use a sword was to beat the tar out of him with a healer on standby to keep him from dying.
That healer was Emma, a guild employee who Crimson became fast friends with. He also befriended one of her coworkers - a Dark Elf named Sherry, who enjoys teasing him.
Like that, months passed, with him training and befriending people all over town.
Crimson did everything he could to prepare: tempering his mind and body, learning magic, the sword, and crafting skills - all looking to the day he would receive access to the system.
He also built a relationship to the Temple through a mildly corrupt priest named Damus, before severing the relationship.
As the deadline neared, he got a new comrade: an Elf named Verity, a former Martial Artist who threw her [Classes] away after the death of her old party, and chose to try and learn the path of a healer to make up for their deaths.
Together, they will find more comrades, and face the future.
SOME Terms and Concepts to know, will be updated as needed:
Authority: a term for a God's power. Authority is given to command specific things or concepts, and the amount of Authority a God has indicates their power over whatever it is.
Amzair: Dark Elf Word for "Unity." It is also the name of a body tempering technique Crimson is studying.
Blessing of the Gods: refers the connection individuals have with the system. It is the status that represents the individual and their progress, and each takes a different form based on the preferences of each individual.
Bloodline/Racial Traits: Each Race has specific abilities that manifest, one to a person, as they grow up. These abilities can manifest before they gain access to the system. As is the case with Verity's Aura Reading, which manifested at the age of 10. Racial Traits are only given to NON-HUMAN individuals - humans get Bloodlines. Not every human has a Bloodline, but the list of possible bloodlines is incalculable, where as most races have between 2 and 5 Racial Traits on average. Except in the case of Favored, each individual only manifests one Trait or Bloodline.

Insults/Swearing: Insults are usually done by comparing a person with a monster, while people swear by the Gods. Normal insults and swearing, are not utilized in this world, rather, they would be called an imp, or incubus, or something along those lines.
Mana: The medium utilized to cast magic and power skills. Its true nature is unknown. It is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be felt or detected by a normal person without special skills, but Crimson can feel and directly interact with/control his mana.
Rizvim: A limiter placed on an individual that forces them to adapt and become stronger because of it. Crimson has a Rizvim that limits the information he can get from his status.
Half Borns/Halfs: A individual born of two different races. They are often subject to heavy racism as many see the combination of two separate races as either morally wrong or detestable, because of that, many people have not educated themselves on them, leading to a lot of this basic knowledge not being common knowledge. There are a few kinds of Halfs: Abhorred, Forgotten, Prime, and Favored. Each of these names refer to the perception people have about how the Gods think of Halfs. The racist term for a Half is 'Chimera.'
>>>>Abhorred: still born children or those who die young as a result of their mixed parentage. All races who receive a [Blessing of the Gods] are compatible to some extent, so even for parents who shouldn't mix well, it is still possible for their children to not be Abhorred, and it is possible for highly compatible parents to have Abhorred children. It just depends on the individual child. It has been noted by Raften that Crimson's body should originally have been Abhorred - if he hadn't meddled with it using his Authority.
>>>>Forgotten: one who has inherited the traits and abilities of neither parent. This is merely referring to the special abilities of the parents themselves, not their physical appearance. In the case of a race with special characteristics like wings, then these things - if they appear on the child - are underdeveloped or malformed. No forgotten have been named at this point in the story.
>>>>Prime: one who has inherited their traits/abilities entirely from one parent. Once again, referring only to the special abilities and Racial Traits, not physical appearance. This is the most likely result of a human and any other race, with abhorred being the second most common (though far less likely than any other race), and Favored being the most rare, as it is only possible if the human possesses a Bloodline and still remains extremely rare in spite of that. Examples of Prime are: Symia, the half dryad wife of Lars who Crimson met when he first came to this world. This named character had a human and non-human parent.
>>>>Favored: one who has strongly inherited the traits of both parents. Occasionally, these abilities mix together to create a new ability, different from that of both parents, or each ability can appear separately leading to Favored being generally more powerful and talented than others. This is the rarest type of Half. The only currently known Favored is Crimson himself.
Uluu: A race that is heavily discriminated against. Their Racial Trait allows them to get monster classes and they are considered essentially monsters by some on the basis of superstition. They are humanlike in appearance, but are extremely pale, without the ability to tan. They also have tattoo-like markings that appear on their skin, which is the true stigma of the race. These markings can take any color or design, and cover the entire body. Halfs of the race have the markings as well, but are not entirely coated by them.
