《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.

Palus Somni
It is the final days after the end of the world and you only have one month left before the last sanctuary erupts into chaos. There's a dead body hanging from a tree and cadaverous giants watch you sleep at night. The end is already here, you just don't know it yet. Now rated in the top 3% of all novels on Royal Road! Palus Somni (‘Marsh of Sleep’) is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your God forsakes you. Inspired by gothic horror and mingled with British myth and folklore, join the Alucinari nuns as they struggle with day-to-day life after the world has ended. Every night when the sun sets the monstrous Gol, colossal beings with too many teeth, awaken and roam the marshlands. Only those with a faithful heart will be spared. Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs. With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world. Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through letters, diary entries and notes found scattered across the monastery. Uncover the mystery of the grotesque giants that stalk the night and bring your challenge to the Gods themselves. Each character has their own handmade pixel art, and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read. Slice of life meets cosmic abomination: Palus Somni is a collection of intertwining stories, some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative. It is an exploration into a community, and rather than focusing on any one character the story meanders through the convent, exposing the hopes and fears of its inhabitants. Story updates every full moon.

The Little Things...
Set in the fictional universe of Runeterra (League of Legends™), the story follows four stout spirits known amidst circles of sorcerers and sages as Yordles on their journey across the vast and fantastical world they inhabit. From the treacherous waves outside Bilgewater to the parched deserts of Shurima and the peaks of Mount Targon. The party at first seeks monetary gain in the acquisition of noteworthy artifacts desired by their employer and fellow explorer, but soon finds that there is more to be gained in the relationship forged along the way and the experiences found within them. This series is more a conglomerate of short stories than a fully fledged novel with every two or three chapters being confined to its own miniaturized arc before another one starts. There will be updates semi-regularly and apologies in advance for any niggling grammatical errors, I'm not a published author. (This on-going series features a number of characters belonging to myself and others, half of which are talented artists who deserve your support!
