"In the World of Nerathis, there are two major paths the humans walk on,
A Warrior and a Mage."
Hearing those words, Kael furrowed his brows.
'What about Beast Tars?'
He thought inwardly.
"Yes, about the Beast Tars you are wondering about, I will get to that."
Lyric smiled as she glanced at Kael and his expression changed.
'I am sure of it, these people have the power to read other's minds.'
Kael stared at Lyric intently, trying not to think about anything.
"Hahaha~"
Lyric laughed out loud when she saw his face.
"I cannot read your mind, Kael."
'Those words aren't helping your case!'
"Your expressions are just too obvious."
Lyric then stared at Kael and,
"You will need to work on that in the future. It is not good if everyone knows what the Hero is thinking, okay?"
"I understand."
Kael nodded.
Lyric nodded back, then she continued,
"So as I was saying, there are two major paths the humans walk on,
A Path of a Warrior,
And a Path of a Mage.
Both of these Paths have their own ranking system.
For a Warrior, it starts with,
First Stage Warrior,
Second Stage Warrior,
Third Stage Warrior,
Fourth Stage Warrior,
Fifth Stage Warrior,
Sixth Stage Warrior,
Seventh Stage Warrior,
Eighth Stage Warrior,
And Ninth Stage Warrior.
As you climb the ladder, you get stronger.
A Ninth Stage Warrior is strong enough to shatter mountains with a single punch, create massive fissures and level the ground. They are Powerhouses, capable of changing the very landscape with their might alone."
Lyric praised, her eyes sparkling with awe as she talked about it.
Kael, on the other hand, nodded continuously,
'Right, shattering mountain, an obvious display of strength.
Typical isekai.'
He wasn't very impressed.
How could he be? He had read about a caped bald man who once jumped to the moon and returned, destroying the moon in the process.
Now THAT is strength.
Oblivious to his thoughts, Lyric continued,
"Just like the warriors, there is a different but similar ranking system for the mages,
It starts with,
First Circle Mage,
Second Circle Mage,
Third Circle Mage,
Fourth Circle Mage,
Fifth Circle Mage,
Sixth Circle Mage,
Seventh Circle Mage,
Eighth Circle Mage,
Ninth Circle Mage.
Again, the higher your rank, the stronger you are.
While a Ninth Stage Warrior is called a Powerhouse, a Ninth Circle Mage is no different than a Natural Calamity. So of their spells could even cover an entire city.
It is quite fascinating."
Lyric smiled and once again, Kael nodded.
Seeing the similarity, a thought appeared in his head,
'Why does all this seem so familiar? Were the authors of all those books also summoned to this world?
Does this an that before becoming Authors, they were all Heroes?
Do I have to beco an Author as well?'
It was definitely a possibility.
Right now, however, Kael didn't have the ti to think this through since Lyric wasn't done yet.
"Now,"
Lyric spoke, grabbing Kael's attention,
"As much different as Warriors and Mages are, they have one thing in common."
Kael raised his eyebrow, his interest was piqued.
"Before being Warriors and Mages, they are all Beast Tars."
"Oh?"
Kael was surprised.
Lyric nodded and then she continued,
"As I ntioned before, every human in this World relies on Magic Beasts they have bonded with.
The Nobles ensure that their children are bonded with a High Ranked Magic Beast at birth.
It wasn't just a matter of status,
It was a necessity.
This is because of the 'Bond' the Tar and the Beasts shared.
This Bond allows the Tar to grow stronger together with their Beasts.
It develops a Tar's body, helping them break past the limits of a normal human.
As the Tar's Body develops further, they would then choose their path,
A Warrior or a Mage.
For a warrior, while learning different martial techniques and pushing himself to the limit was essential, a normal human had his limits.
A Tar's body, however, continued to get stronger as their Beasts grew, making it possible for them to perform advanced techniques that a normal human body couldn't possibly hope to perform.
The Mages are the sa.
Sure, they have a system that allows them to form a Mana Core, harness Mana, and cast Spells, they can even ditate to refill their Mana reserves and slowly increase their Mana Capacity.
However, without bonding with the Magic Beasts, almost no Mage could ever hope to go above the Second Circle.
After all, ditating and growing one's mana reserve was essentially no different than training muscles and making them stronger.
The thod had its limits, and to increase those limits, forming Bonds with Magic Beasts was essential.
Over ti, one's strength beca synonymous with their Magic Beasts' strength. So while both mage and warriors had their own ranking system,
The main system they followed was the Beast Tar's system which starts with,
Novice Tar,
Apprentice Tar,
Advance Tar,
Adept Tar,
Expert Tar,
Master Tar,
Grandmaster Tar,
Legendary Tar,
And Mythical Tar."
Lyric finally stopped, letting Kael absorb everything she said.
Kael noted everything and made so ntal notes. After thinking about it for a while, he asked a question,
"So in summary, a stronger Tar ans a stronger Mage or a Warrior, correct?"
"That is correct."
Lyric nodded.
"Usually, these stages are aligned with each other,
A Novice Tar is usually a First Stage Warrior or a First Circle Mage, while a Ninth Stage Warrior or a Ninth Circle Mage is usually a Mythical Tar."
"I understand."
Kael nodded in understanding.
So basically, in this world, the beasts were the source of these people's strength. Unlike the novels he had read, this world didn't have a concept of cultivation where one gradually becos stronger.
These people make their beasts stronger and use their 'Bond' with those Beasts to increase their body's 'limit' and get stronger.
It was like going to the gym but never hitting a saturation point, allowing them to grow endlessly.
'Hmm, quite logical.'
Kael nodded in his head. Soon, however, another question appeared in his mind,
"Then aren't the humans a little too dependent on the magic beasts?"
