x-SETTING

This world is a simple one: it has a horizon where the sun both sets and rises each day. However, there's still a lot of mystery surrounding the environment as monsters prevent adventurers and bystanders alike from exploring. The current areas where cities and towns are located are only safe because things called spawners have been destroyed. These spawners are where monsters come from when they don't come from the dungeon. Fortunately, they don't travel too far away from their spawners so you don't have to worry too much about your town getting invaded. Peaceful areas like plains and prairies have generally lower leveled monsters while chaotic areas like near an active volcano has higher leveled monsters.

Located in the center of civilization is the City of Opportunity, which is where the Dungeon is located. This is the city that adventurers tend to stay in, for obvious reasons of course. Adventurers travel from all around to come here so the cultures found in this City can vary quite vastly. The City of Opportunity is one of the most advanced areas thanks to the constant income of money due to the treasures found in the Dungeon. As mentioned, adventurers can come from many areas in the world. There are many cities and villages sprawled around the conquered world. Currently, only 3,000 miles of land has been conquered and rendered safe enough for lesser peoples. (Land is only considered conquered after the nests of monsters higher than level 3 are destroyed and that none of the nearby monsters are too dangerous.)

There are a few major cities at the moment, those being (not including the City of Opportunity):
► Ioxus - The city of war and power. If you're looking to get stronger, skilled with weapons or faster, this is the place you're looking for. The best physical weapons can be found here, for a price, of course. The trainers here usually cost quite a bit unless you're born here, because it's required by law that all Ioxus-born children learn to fight. Everything in this city is determined by battles-- whether someone is allowed to marry another or you simply deserved an A+ on that test and that is clearly not an A+.
► Nero - The city of renewal and water. Mostly a tourist attraction and a business site, Nero is built on a lagoon-- the entire city practically floats. Many oceans, rivers and lakes flow into this city, making it a good port and trade area. Second to the City of Opportunity, this area had very advanced technology with a beautiful layout of canals and stone houses. Instead of roads, there were simple stone sidewalks and boats to carry products throughout the city.
► City of Alchemy - The city of alchemy, obviously the center of alchemy and all things magic. This city runs on a achievement system. A council would maintain the daily on goings of the city but would appoint the figure in the city who's contributed most to the city as the Headmaster. This city had used to be larger than what it is now, but thanks to an unfortunate event, the original city was destroyed. Thankfully, the city's headmaster at the time, Mimir, was able to prevent most of the population's deaths. Since then, he was exiled from the city and the city continues to recover today.
► City of Repose - Actually a large string of villages, the City of Repose is a farmer's paradise. These villages are for those who wish to abandon the ever-changing life of adventurers and being controlled by gods and allow them to live in peace. They also produce much of the world's food sources and some of the casual clothing, making them rather important. There's always a natural and clean view when inside this region-- a refreshing experience for any adventurer!

There are also a few small villages spread around the world which have a variety of cultures in each of them, also located in different climates like snow or forest. Each of the Major cities are less than 1,000 miles away from each other, therefore they all have a similar humid continental climate and experience all four seasons.

x-THE PEOPLE
There are different humanoid races in this world, excluding the gods and goddesses. At the current time, there are two main ones, with sightings of other, unidentified races. These two are Humans and Animal People. The Animal People are simply humans that were born with animal-like features. Different from the Beastmen, due to the fact a Beastman being a CLASS, they have animal blood within them. They are treated similarly to Humans and stand aside them in battle, just as any person. An Animal Person can be any class they wish, just like Humans.
