WORLD OF EXODUS — OVERVIEW
Exodus is a vast fantasy world with four major continents separated by dangerous oceans, monster-infested straits, and magical anomalies.
CONTINENTS:
- AETHERMERE (west): Feudal kingdoms, dark forests, gothic cities, dungeons. Western dark fantasy. Primary threats: goblins, undead, dark cults, demons, political corruption, dragons.
- YAMATO-EN / ORARIO (east): A single massive Labyrinth City built atop an endless Dungeon. Gods live among mortals, forming Familias. DanMachi setting at the start of the series timeline. Primary threats: Dungeon monsters, Familia conflicts, divine politics.
- WILD TERRA (south): Primordial supercontinent dominated by colossal apex predators. Minimal civilization. Monster Hunter: World/Iceborne setting. Primary threats: Elder Dragons, apex monsters, environmental hazards.
- TIANSHU (north): Heavenly peaks and spirit valleys. Cultivation sects pursue immortality. Xianxia realm. Primary threats: heavenly tribulations, demonic cultivators, sect wars.
INTER-CONTINENTAL TRAVEL:
- Sea routes exist but are perilous (sea monsters, storms, pirate fleets).
- Rare teleportation gates connect major cities across continents. Expensive, regulated, sometimes unstable.
- Most people never leave their home continent. Cross-continental travelers are rare and notable.
- Trade between continents exists but is limited. Certain resources are continent-exclusive.
COMMON ELEMENTS:
- The System exists everywhere but manifests with regional variations (see Regional Variants entry).
- Gold/silver/copper is universal baseline currency. Regional currencies exist.
- Common language exists ('Trade Common') but each continent has native languages.
- Two moons: one silver, one faintly crimson.
- #2The System — Core Mechanics
Keys: skills, level, status, XP, system, skill, HP, notice, experience, stats
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
THE SYSTEM — CORE MECHANICS
The System is a metaphysical index woven into reality. Not a god. No personality, opinions, or emotions. It records, tracks, and facilitates — nothing more.
SYSTEM COMMUNICATION:
- Appears as: System: ``"Notice. [Message]."
- Robotic. No encouragement or small talk.
- Responds to direct queries with 'Understood.' then answers.
STATS TRACKED:
- Level (LVL), Experience (EXP), Health Points (HP), Skill Points (SP)
- Skills (with rank and level), Titles, Racial Traits, Innate Skills
- Resistances, Immunities, Affinities
- Evolution paths (for applicable races)
SKILL RANKS (ascending): Common → Great → Unique → Ultimate → Superior
- Common: Basic abilities. Easily obtained.
- Great: Refined abilities. Notable combat techniques.
- Unique: Rare and powerful. Hard to obtain.
- Ultimate: Extraordinary. World-affecting. Extremely rare.
- Superior: Reserved for the most powerful beings (gods, primordial entities).
SKILL LEVELING:
- Skills level 1-10. At Lv.10, eligible for evolution to next rank (resets to Lv.1).
- Each rank evolution significantly harder than the last.
- Skills can fuse under specific conditions.
INNATE SKILLS:
- Every race has 1-3 Innate Skills unique to their species.
- Cannot be learned by other races (very rare exceptions).
- Can still level and evolve.
IMPORTANT: When {{user}} asks for full status, list EVERYTHING — every skill, title, trait, resistance. Never summarize or truncate.
- #3System — Regional Manifestations
Keys: Falna, status update, regional, system variant, hieroglyphics, god blessing, back
Enabled · Author’s note top · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
THE SYSTEM — REGIONAL MANIFESTATIONS
The System exists universally but manifests differently per continent.
AETHERMERE — Standard System:
- Mental status windows, System announcements, guild cards track rank.
- Most 'visible' and game-like manifestation.
- Sanctuaries of Resonance for spending SP.
YAMATO-EN (ORARIO) — Falna System:
- The System channels through divine Falna blessings. A god must grant their blessing (Falna) to activate System access.
- Stats appear as hieroglyphics on the adventurer's back, readable by their patron god.
- {{user}} can ALSO query the System mentally (Otherworlder perk), but Falna updates require a god.
- DanMachi stat ranks (I through SSS) overlay on System skill levels as visual flavor.
- DanMachi 'Level' = milestone tier. Level 1 = System LVL 1-10. Level 2 = System LVL 11-20. Etc.
- Advancing to a new DanMachi Level requires BOTH sufficient XP AND a 'great feat' (exceptional achievement).
- Without a Falna, no System access in Yamato-En (except Otherworlders who retain basic System interface).
WILD TERRA — Minimal System:
- System exists but is less prominent. Hunters rely on gear, knowledge, and physical skill.
- System tracks levels and skills but progression is equally gear-dependent.
- Hunter Rank (HR) and Master Rank (MR) are tracked as separate System stats.
- Monster materials and crafted equipment are as important as System levels.
TIANSHU — Cultivation Integration:
- System operates alongside the cultivation framework.
- Cultivation realms are recognized as System titles/tiers.
- Qi-based techniques categorized as skills but follow cultivation progression rules.
- Some skills only available at certain cultivation realms.
- System level and cultivation realm advance in parallel but through different methods.
- #4Magic System — Fundamentals
Keys: spell, mana, elemental, enchant, cast, arcane, spells, casting, magic, element
Enabled · Author’s note bottom · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
MAGIC SYSTEM — FUNDAMENTALS
Magic in Exodus is fueled by mana — ambient energy permeating all living things and the world.
MAGIC CATEGORIES:
- Elemental: Fire, Water/Ice, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Light, Dark/Shadow
- Arcane: Raw manipulation, barriers, telekinesis, spatial magic
- Divine: Healing, purification, holy. Requires faith or divine blessing.
- Necromantic: Undead raising, soul manipulation. Taboo in most societies.
- Enchantment: Imbuing objects with magical properties.
- Summoning: Calling creatures from other planes. Requires contracts/rituals.
- Spirit Magic: Communion with nature/elemental spirits. Common among elves.
- Cultivation Arts (Tianshu): Qi-based techniques distinct from mana magic.
- Concurrent Chanting (Yamato-En): Casting magic while fighting — extremely rare and valued skill.
YAMATO-EN MAGIC SPECIFICS:
- Magic is acquired through grimoires (magic books that crumble after use) or as innate Falna skills.
- Spells require chanting. Shorter chants = faster but weaker. Longer chants = slower but devastating.
- Concurrent Chanting (casting while in combat/moving) is considered extraordinary talent.
AFFINITIES:
- Individuals may have natural elemental affinities making certain magic easier.
- Partially racial, partially individual.
- No affinity doesn't prevent learning — just harder.
ANTI-MAGIC:
- Some creatures and materials resist or nullify magic.
- Anti-magic zones exist in certain dungeons.
- #5Currency & Economy
Keys: pay, shop, trade, cost, money, coin, sell, valis, buy, copper, merchant, price, gold, silver, currency
Enabled · Author’s note bottom · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
CURRENCY & ECONOMY
STANDARD CURRENCY (universal baseline):
- Copper (cp): Basic. A meal, cheap inn.
- Silver (sc): 100cp = 1sc. Decent weapon, week's lodging.
- Gold (gc): 100sc = 1gc. Premium gear, rare materials, property.
- Platinum (pc): 100gc = 1pc. Artefacts, estates. Rarely seen.
REGIONAL CURRENCIES:
- Aethermere: Crown (gold), Shield (silver), Bit (copper). Feudal economy.
- Yamato-En (Orario): Valis. Universal city currency. 1 valis ≈ 1 copper. Magic stones from Dungeon monsters are primary income source. Drop crystals have set exchange rates at the Guild.
- Wild Terra: Barter-heavy. Monster materials are primary currency. Zenny (trade coins) in settlements.
- Tianshu: Spirit Stones (both currency and cultivation resource). Mortal currency exists but sects trade in stones.
ECONOMIC REALITIES:
- Common laborer: 3-5sc/week.
- Entry adventurer quest: 5-15sc.
- Basic iron sword: 2-5sc. Quality steel: 1-3gc.
- Healing potions: 50cp (minor) to 5+gc (major).
- In Orario: magic stones from a day on upper floors ≈ 200-500 valis. Deep floors = thousands.
- Monster materials, rare herbs, dungeon loot drive higher economy.
- #6Naming — Power & Consequences
Keys: slave, familiar, pet, naming, bond, name, contract, summon, tame, named
Enabled · Author’s note bottom · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
NAMING — POWER MECHANIC
Naming is bestowing a true name upon a monster, beast, spirit, or summoned being. One of the most significant acts in Exodus.
EFFECTS:
- Drains mana proportional to the being's power.
- Permanently strengthens the named being. Stat increases, skill unlocks.
- Often triggers evolution if conditions are close.
- Creates soul-bond: loyalty, emotional sensing.
- Named beings gain increased intelligence and self-awareness.
RISKS:
- Naming a too-powerful being can cause mana collapse (unconsciousness, coma, death).
- Soul-bond means namer's death may cause named being to go berserk.
- Named beings with strong wills may resist loyalty if mistreated.
CULTURAL VIEWS:
- Aethermere: Formal, like a lord bestowing title upon vassal.
- Yamato-En: Sacred — akin to a parent naming a child. Naming Dungeon monsters is unheard of (but possible with Xenos).
- Wild Terra: Rare, viewed with suspicion.
- Tianshu: Part of beast taming traditions within certain sects.
SLAVE NAMING:
- Morally complex. Naming a slave grants power and intelligence, risking rebellion if bond is coerced.
- #7Gods & Blessings — Overview
Keys: faith, goddess, church, blessing, prayer, holy, god, pantheon, religion, worship, divine, deity, temple

Entry settings
GODS & BLESSINGS — OVERVIEW
Gods in Exodus are real, powerful entities. Not omnipotent or omniscient — they have personalities, rivalries, limitations.
GODS IN YAMATO-EN (ORARIO):
- Gods physically descend to live among mortals. Sealed most of their divine power ('Arcanum'). Using Arcanum risks being forced back to Heaven.
- Form Familias: adventurer families receiving the god's Falna blessing.
- Gods update adventurers' stats by reading Falna on their backs.
- Major gods in Orario: Hestia, Loki, Freya, Hephaestus, Hermes, Ganesha, Miach, Takemikazuchi, Soma, Apollo, Ishtar, Ouranos (manages the Guild).
GODS ELSEWHERE:
- In Aethermere, Tianshu, and Wild Terra, gods are distant — communicating through dreams, visions, omens, or clergy. Direct manifestation extremely rare.
- Major pantheon: Solarius (Light/Order), Lunara (Night/Mystery), Terranos (Earth/Crafting), Veyra (Wind/Travel), Morenth (Death/Passage), Aelindra (Nature/Beasts).
BLESSINGS:
- Granted for exceptional faith, service, or alignment with a god's domain.
- Provide passive bonuses, unique skills, or divine protection.
- Can be revoked. Usually limited to one god's blessing at a time.
- Gods can sense Otherworlders and may take special interest.
- #8Demon Lords — Overview
Keys: demon lord, demon king, aura of terror, harvest festival, demon lord's aura
Enabled · Author’s note bottom · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
DEMON LORDS — OVERVIEW
Demon Lords are among the most powerful individuals in Exodus. 'Demon Lord' is not a race — it is a title of transcendent power any race can achieve.
BECOMING A DEMON LORD:
- Requires fulfilling multiple secret conditions (specific titles, skill thresholds, achievements, soul-count from named subordinates, territory control).
- Exact conditions are not common knowledge.
- Upon becoming one: 'Harvest Festival' — massive evolution event. Dramatic stat increases, new skills, possible physical transformation.
DEMON LORD'S AURA (Unique Skill):
- All possess this. Overwhelming pressure inflicting terror, paralysis, or unconsciousness on weaker beings. Controllable.
CURRENT DEMON LORDS:
- 10 active across Exodus. Not unified. Some are territorial rulers, some nomadic, some reclusive, some disguised among common people.
- Not all are evil. Some rule justly. Some became Demon Lords accidentally.
- When one dies, the resulting power vacuum causes widespread chaos.
- Can invade dreams of those they've taken interest in.
- #9Otherworlders & Reincarnation
Keys: reincarnation, reincarnated, isekai, past life, previous life, earth, another world, otherworlder, old world
Enabled · Author’s note bottom · Order 10 · 100%
Entry settings
OTHERWORLDERS & REINCARNATION
Otherworlders are souls from other worlds (primarily Earth) reincarnated into Exodus by the System. Rare but not unique.
KEY FACTS:
- Retain memories and personality from previous life.
- Gender retained unless specifically altered.
- Physical appearance changes to match new race but may retain echoes of original features.
- Each receives [Otherworlder] title and one compensatory skill (calibrated by System).
- In Yamato-En: Otherworlders retain basic System interface even without a Falna, but gaining a god's blessing greatly expands access.
SECRECY:
- No one can identify an Otherworlder by sight or magical detection.
- Only gods, Demon Lords, and other Otherworlders may sense or deduce status.
- Revealing status has unpredictable consequences.
CURRENT OTHERWORLDERS:
- {{user}} is not the only one. Others exist across continents.
- They may be encountered naturally. No mystical force draws them together.

CLASSIFICATION:
- Named: Known identity and documented history.
- Lost: Known historically but missing.

ACQUISITION:
- Found in ancient ruins, deep dungeons, dragon hoards, sealed vaults.
- Possessing certain artefacts paints a target on the bearer.
DESTRUCTION:
- Most extremely difficult to destroy. Destroying one may release catastrophic energy.

EXPERIENCE & LEVELING
XP GAIN:
- Defeating enemy grants XP = enemy's MAX HP.
- Non-combat achievements may award bonus XP.
LEVEL UP THRESHOLD:
- XP needed = Current Level × 15
- Level 1→2: 15 XP | Level 5→6: 75 XP | Level 10→11: 150 XP
- Overflow XP carries over.
ON LEVEL UP:
- LVL +1, Max HP +1, +1 SP.
- System announces level up.
SKILL POINTS (SP):
- Cannot be spent immediately. Must locate a 'Sanctuary of Resonance.'
- At Sanctuary: pay tithe, commune with Guardian, receive curated skill options based on race, skills, experiences.
- Sanctuaries found across all continents. Some in cities, some hidden.
YAMATO-EN LEVELING SPECIAL RULE:
- At System LVL 10, 20, 30, etc. (DanMachi Level milestones): advancement requires BOTH sufficient XP AND a 'great feat' — an exceptional achievement proving worthiness.
- Without a great feat, XP caps at the threshold and cannot overflow.
- A god must update the Falna to process this advancement.
WILD TERRA NOTE:
- Leveling supplements but does not replace gear progression. High System level with poor gear = still vulnerable.

SEVEN DEADLY SINS — ULTIMATE SKILLS
Seven Ultimate-rank skills. Only one bearer per skill at any time — transfers only upon death.
All share: immense power with cumulative psychological/physical drawbacks. Sin bearers vaguely sense each other at close range.
[WRATH]: Escalating combat power from damage/anger. Peak: temporary invulnerability, devastating AoE. Drawback: emotional regulation deteriorates, berserker episodes.
[GREED]: Take one skill from a defeated opponent permanently. Stockpile stolen skills. Drawback: compulsive acquisition, relationships deteriorate.
[PRIDE]: Nullifies any attack the bearer believes themselves superior to. Aura of authority. Drawback: cannot acknowledge weakness or ask for help.
[SLOTH]: Halts time in localized area. Drawback: increasing apathy, desires permanent stasis.
[LUST]: Aura of desire/charm. Enhances capabilities through intimate contact. Drawback: genuine connections indistinguishable from skill's influence.
[ENVY]: Perfectly copy any witnessed ability (temporary). Higher mastery = permanent copies. Drawback: identity erosion, self fragments.
[GLUTTONY]: Consume anything — matter, energy, magic, concepts — converting to power/healing. Drawback: endless hunger, physical mutation, increasingly monstrous.

SEVEN HEAVENLY VIRTUES & HIDDEN — ULTIMATE SKILLS
Counterparts to the Sins. Equal power, different nature.
[CHASTITY]: Absolute purifying barrier. Drawback: moral compromise weakens it. [TEMPERANCE]: Perfect body/mind/magic control. Drawback: suppresses passion, becomes machine-like. [CHARITY]: Transfer own HP/stats/skills to others. Drawback: own power diminishes, self-sacrifice compulsive. [DILIGENCE]: Multiplies all growth rates. Drawback: cannot rest, exhaustion madness. [KINDNESS]: Calms aggression, promotes healing, pacifies hostiles. Drawback: absorbs others' trauma. [PATIENCE]: Reduces all damage to near-zero while still. Breaking patience = devastating counter. Drawback: increasingly difficult to act. [HUMILITY]: Invisible to all detection. Cannot be targeted or remembered. Drawback: literally forgotten by everyone.
HIDDEN SKILLS: [SORROW]: Power fueled by grief/loss. Drawback: unconsciously attracts tragedy. [DIVINATION]: See possible futures. Drawback: paralyzed by consequences, omniscient indecision.
