[Author's note]
Because I was having trouble on how to tell you some of the info I want you to have I decided to make a info dump it might also answer some of the question you may have in prologue 1 and 2 and or later on in the story so yea this is basically a info dump.
---------------------
How the orbs of light and dark came to be
So the date was 12/30/2018 when the death god Reaper died or also know as the cloaked figure. Upon his death the souls that he keep became free turning into energy with the ones that were dark souls into dark orbs and the pure souls into light orbs.
Some knowledge of the orbs of light and dark
The light and dark orbs holds the power of a soul so when it was released it was extremely powerful because some of his things were designed to hold energy of the soul he have no time or is just too lazy to processes it into new soul. Because of that trait the energy started to fuse with the items and in the process making it even more powerful along with some thing else...
Things the orbs did to the inhabitantof planet Earth
The energy that fell towards fell slower then the monsters so when the energy reach Earth the people are already in the safe zones. Because of the energy people were changed depending of the the contraction of light and dark energy turning them in elves, fairies, and other less pleasant creatures like vampires, skeletons , etc. and turning animals and plants in to even more monsters.
Things the orbs did to the world
The energy also infused with the Earth destroying some land, or made more lands so you can't even tell that was Earth even if you been studying it for years. Another thing that that the orbs did is that it made new ores from infusing it self to it. While turning some of the elements into monster like dryad, golem, etc.
The system
The system was designed by a elder god on a whim because why not? with the system the world will have a game like element like levels, stats, inventory, etc. For the system be actually strong enough to implemented into the people and things of Earth it has to be bounded by god. (so yea the system is here to stay guys) Because the system is bounded by gods they have a certain amount of authority to command the system to do something depending on their power.

The safe zones- The safe zones are the by produced of the system that even gods became bounded to when it was activated it is essentially stop monsters and other hostile creatures from entering.
Classes- Classes are apart of the system classes help the person or thing able to achieve better result in things like cooking, carving, blacksmithing, etc. It does not affect anything else so and archer can use a warrior's weapon and same goes for the warrior. Their are also no limit to the amount of classes you can have and usually you can only have two active primary class gains 100% of xp while secondary gains 75% and if you have third it gains 50% xp and the rest doesn't drop any lower.
Evolution- Evolution happens when a being reach the max level for the being itself , their skill or any thing else that might have a level reaches its max. Once someone or something reaches their maximum level will have the choice to evolve into a stronger version of that item or person. Sometime you need fulfill some condition before evolving but to evolve any skill you need to fulfill a less one condition.
Sentience- anything is able to think for itself when it is imbued with mana or chi to evolve into a evolved species. (example: Evolved Grimoire, Evolved Stone Golem, etc.)
Gender- All things or beast will be given a gender if it fills the requirement and or is just special the requirements are it must have basic instinct wither man or beast and have a organic or humanoid form like a golem. if something like a golem gains the ability to 'think' it will be given a gender by the system depending on what it was used for, what it looks like , what the owner dresses it as a girl or boy with other circumstances before it gain sentience if it's not interfered by something else like god. Gender can also be changed depending on things like class or species.
Dungeon Cores
Dungeon cores are circle thing that increases in size as it grow stronger. The cores are intelligent and can do things that takes hundreds of human years to build in a instant(like tunnels, towers, etc.) though they are usually limed be their mana until they become stronger. The dungeon core uses the orbs to make items and monsters to protect them.
Magic
The humans able to use magic is all thanks to the goddess of wisdom and knowledge that gifted the human and the other races grimoires, grimoires are books that contain the knowledge to utilize the mana in their body. People can use magic without grimoires but it'll take longer to learn and cast.

Spells Circle-Spells circle are another form of spells but more mana efficient for those that have low mana. It can take mana from more then one source with the ability to do all things spells does and more like summoning though It has a draw back of longer cast time and has to be physically drawn with other requirements depending on the objective. (Lore: It was created by a mysterious human that appeared out of nowhere with little to no mana but have a unusual determination to become a mage by studying the paths mana takes to form spells.)
Rune Magic- Rune magic are devolved from spell circle magic with the help of god are able to imbue itself into anything that you can write the rune symbols on and will stay active until it's source of mana is gone.
Grimoires- Grimoires are book gifted by the goddess of wisdom and knowledge and are essential to mages and classes of the like.
Magic Weapon-Magic Weapons are thing like staffs or grimoires that can help one increases the ability of a certain type of magic or increases certain aspect of their spells like cast time. (example: Staffs are used for range and accuracy while grimoires are used for speed and power though that can be changed depending on the one making it)
Magic Tools- The are any tools imbued with magic usually found in dungeons whither it can kill or not does not matter.
Chi
Chi also a by produce of the orbs are for people that likes to fight close range with things like swords, spears, etc. chi is a power that allows people to achieve immortality like magic meditating helps improve it's ability. Not many people know a lot of it's uses because most of it's knowledge is lost or keep a secret so normal people can't attain powerful chi arts.
Learning Chi Arts- Chi arts are engraved on to stone tablets or grimoire but unlike grimoires it does not need the said stone table to enhance their casting speed. It has a drawback of losing the stone tablet or grimoire once learned unless it is made by powerful crafters like master level crafter even then it will have a limit amount of uses before braking or losing it's power(can be recharged if it's just a lost of power).
World map
After the change the world formed into two giant continent light and dark with one island which bridges are build to allow trade or war into each other's continent though strangely the bridges no matter what they do are unable to be destroyed.
The things left behind by death
The Arcane Art of Life and Death- The The Arcane Art of Life and Death is a grimoire but unlike other grimoires it has the ability to adsorb and save knowledge from other grimoire and gain it's power another ability is the ability to teach one chi along with mana.
Soul Scythe-The scythe or as people called it Soul Scythe it has the ability to adsorb the souls of the people it kill to either temporally or permanently enhance it's ability if the soul is strong it also have the ability to change what weapon it is but it's most powerful in it's scythe form.
Hidden Death- The cloak or as the people called it Hidden Death because of its ability to hides one's face and or change his features, if giving a soul it can turn the user invisible the duration depending on the soul used.
Skull of Death-The Skull of Death are the bones of the death god Reaper with the ability to hold the soul of the fallen to use at a later date and or summon creatures of death to help you fight it'll will change how it looks depending on the users preference.
Tick-Tick is a clock made for Death with the help of Cronus the god of time has the ability to tell when is a person going to die but if used correctly you can stop the death of that said person though it will take a very strong soul to activate this ability.
For those that are wondering the curse have restricted the items ability and all soul's used are processes into pure souls and release it so basically the darker the soul the better.

Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.
