Lore, The system

The system is a most mysterious subject of study and many conflicting theories on its origin, purpose and goals, if it has any, have been shared among the learned over the eons. The first recorded theory on its origin was in fact found in the ruins of the continental nexus, dating back to the age of enlightenment 24 thousand years ago. The ancient record declares The system to be a design of the gods' making and woven into the fabric of reality itself. There is no mention on which gods this theory refers to but many religions have taken to freely include their entity of worship as a contributor or proclaim it as the sole creator.

This is only one of the many theories discussed in this work, being more commonly known as a legend to the scholars studying the subject in this age. The origin and time of creation can sometimes give unfounded strength to the claims presented, especially in works from the age of enlightenment and relics of the nexus. There are however other theories with actual evidence to back them up and these can not be dismissed out of hand, no matter the god or gods you may worship.

Classes, skills and all their intricacies will be discussed, shining light upon claims made by others and presenting some of its own. Why is it that only sapient creatures get classes? Why do sentient creatures without sapiens evolve every 100 levels? Why can experience only be gained through violence and a few specific achievements or actions? How much slower do sapient creatures grow when fighting together, and why is that? Questions like these will be answered, all tying together to create an answer for the most difficult question of them all: Why does The system exist?
