《Soulbound Hunter》The World of Thrae — A Compendium
Advertisement
The World-building
The World Physics of Thrae is not a typical gaming-world per se. However, you could say that this world dwells in a state of Romanticism and Fictional Imagination, while traces of Realism and Pragmatism are entrenched within. Thus, a movement’s momentum, weight differences, gravity, and other factors may influence an action's outcome.
Stabbing someone with a knife while standing still versus stabbing someone with running momentum is not equal.
A Hunter’s Health points may remain full (100/100). However, this does not mean that the Hunter does not feel hunger or other abnormal conditions. The same goes for fatigue. A fatigued Thraen will notice his or her drop in focus, increased tiredness, dehydration, and other physical or psychological changes in their bodies.
Minor spoiler if you haven't read the Prologue yet:
The Soul Window can only be acquired by an Awakened. Any Thraen denizen can see a Hunter's Soul Window. Yet, only the Soul Window owner can interact with it, with a few exceptions, such as Trading. It is so far unclear who or what created the Soul Window System.
The Elements of Thrae
Coming Soon!
Rating list – updated from Chapter 11.
Dungeon Ratings: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Heroic, ???, ???
So far in the story, the Heroic Dungeon Rating has been introduced. Do you have a (un)pleasant feeling higher-rated Dungeons will befall Thrae? A reminder that any rated Dungeon has built-in Levels, such as Silver-rated Goblin Hideout Lv2, introduced in chapter 9. A higher rating is equivalent to higher-tiered monsters and higher monster density, often synonymous with better Dungeon Rewards. A higher Dungeon Level is equivalent to higher-leveled monsters.
Quest Ratings: Bronze, Silver, Gold, ???, ???, ???
Same as Dungeons, but undecided after Gold Quest Rating. Note that Quests are further separated into Bronze, Bronze+, Bronze++, Silver, Silver+, etc.
Special Quests Rating: Unique, is always non-repeatable, and be combined with any other Quest Rating.

Items in the chapters are underlined when announced by the Soul Window, but not when spoken or narrated.

Demonic beings will also follow the standard 'Monster Ratings' but are granted additional titles, such as The Demonic Emissary of Hell. While how the story rates Undead, like Lich, Death Knight, Bone Dragon (examples, not actual Undead of Thrae. Yet?), is under revision.

Seeing this, people all around the world woke up from their carefree attitude and immediately turned their attention towards the sky. Some were confused, some were scared while others just sat down and prayed silently but everyone knew that it was the sign of an impending disaster.What are these bright lights and who has caused this ? Is it a human ? Is it god ? Is it the devil ? Or is it something beyond our wildest imagination ?Warning: Tagged [15+] for gore, violence and strong language.P.S: This is the rewrite of my first novel so please go easy on this poor soul. ^_^. Infrequent updates so don't blame me later on that you do not update it often.Also the first few chapters are a bit short, however the later ones will be of reasonable sizes.P.P.S: Don't try to apply science to this novel, because it will not help and wherever it might be used, the MC can do it himself.__________________________________________________________________________Side Info : This is not another novel with an OP MC, the MC will not get overpowered anytime soon, so if you want to read an OP novel, you've come to the [wrong place].

And he did manage it, but only to accidentally activate a strange artifact that made him and Vincent be transported to a different place. Now lost, they needed to find the way back from this strange and mysterious place. ---------- Length: I try to keep the chapters around 2000 words, but sometimes I would do more. (The first chapter is 4000 words btw)schedule: ***On Pause*** I would gladly appreciate getting reviews. Just to know if the story is good. I'm fine with critics.
