Character Power Ranks
The world’s overall combat strength is divided into six ranks:
Veteran → Elite → Ascendant → Monarch → Paragon → Ragnarok
Each rank represents a major increase for Sword masters and mages.
__________
Weapon Mastery
Weapon proficiency is measured separately from overall Power Rank.
This applies to any weapon including swords, spears, bows, daggers, axes, and many more.
Beginner → Intermediate → Advanced → Expert → Master → Grandmaster → Transcendent → Saint
Weapon Mastery shows how deeply someone understands and can utilize a particular weapon
Therefore a person’s Power Rank and Weapon Mastery do not necessarily have to match.
For example an Elite could possess Grandmaster Swordsmanship while a Monarch might have only Expert-level mastery of the sword.
_______________
Bonding System
The Bonding System automatically registers women with whom the MC develops a meaningful relationship.
Each registered character has an individual Bond Rate which increases through greater trust, closeness, and intimacy.
The Bond Rate determines the multiplier of the rewards obtained from that specific bond.
A Bond Rate of 1: ×1–×5 returns, with rewards ranging from C to A Rank.
A Bond Rate of 10: ×10–×25 returns, with A to S-Rank rewards.
A Bond Rate of 50: ×50–×100 returns, with S to SS-Rank rewards.
A Bond Rate of 100: ×101–×500 returns, with S to SSS-Rank rewards.
The rewards increase in both quantity and quality as the Bond Rate rises.
Each character has a separate Bond Rate, meaning progress with one person does not increase another person’s Bond Rate.
