《So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!》Journal Entry # 1 (Info Dump)

Month 4 since the transfer.
I have recently learned the spoken and written language and decided to write down some of my findings
First of all, Cultivators and Martial Artists are not the same.
The physical limits of the body are different here compared to our world. Not only because of the increased gravity and harsh lifestyle. There is a fundamental difference in vitality.
Ki is an internal energy. It is something our body produces and with intense training can be utilized for amazing effects. It passively increases durability and a slight increase to the immune system. Active usage can be used to enhance our bodies in different ways with specialized techniques. Such as the five senses, muscle strength, reflexes.
You can't manifest it much outside of your body. It pretty much dissipates immediately. Transferring it to another living creature is possible, but with high risk for both the person doing the transfer or receiving. It can cause internal damage if the energy runs rampant in another's body, but with careful usage, it can heal as it is a life force. There are others unique ways to use it with secret martial arts.
Remember, your body is the thing providing and creating the energy, you can literally burn up your life force and die.
Cultivators are different, they absorb and use the energy of the universe so to speak. They can store it within their body through nodes and transfer it through tunnels similar to a circulatory system. It was an ethereal organ system, but it can interact on a physical plane with special means. Actual injuries at the physical location they are at can also damage them.
The energy is a lot more versatile and can be extended past your body, so yes, flying energy blasts after you swing your sword can and will be a thing.

Some bodies or souls are more attuned to gathering Qi, they are gifted with innate talent and are prized all over the world.
Cultivators are highly regarded and feared. Even Kings dare not disrespect an established sect. They are a mysterious and power group. They are above the realm of man to deal with.
Martial artists are superhumans who can do seemingly magical feats, but they can be taken down with mundane means.
These are the two main groups known to the Eastern Kingdoms.
There are smaller organizations such as the Alchemy associations and the Hunters Guild, but I currently do not have much information on them at the moment. More data is required to form a proper analysis. I will have to spend more time discerning fact from fiction and rumors. My, what an interesting new world I've been adopted by. I wonder what else is out there?

Avine: The Journey
Avine, the name recorded in the oldest records of faith concerning the creation of the world. The lands of Avine are in turmoil. A lengthy war recently ended. Casualties were terrible, but not limited to the dead alone. Breakdowns occurred in society, and kingdoms struggled with civil unrest and a never-ending stream of refugees. Mariel Bluegale has lived a relatively uneventful life. Largely sheltered from prejudice by her parents Serin and Arwaro, she grew up in a kingdom that prospered thanks to its strictly neutral policy. But the winds of war are once more on the horizon. Peace is merely the prelude to a new, even bigger conflict, one which may be decided on the identity of one. Release schedule: One chapter a week for the forseeable future. Reality caught up with me, this means I have to scale back my writing time considerably. I promise to finish it, but it will be in pieces, and likely around holidays. As always, any -painful- errors (spelling, flow, consistency or time) please let me know.
