Main Cast:
? Argenta Mariposa
Appearance and details: An apparently 'docile and shy' (according to Selena) girl with white hair and silver-ish eyes reminiscent of the moon. When she was 14, she lost her mother and had no choice but to turn to a guild. Because of that, and a betrayed trust, she erected an ice barrier to shield herself and her heart from everything and everyone, one that was eventually melted by a certain red girl thanks to her fire. Her mother considered Argenta a tiny creature, while Crimson considers her an adorable, perfect little pet. Eluding Death's touch gives her an unparalleled thrill. Unfortunately for her, her fragile body does not share the sentiment. A twisted and ironic fate. Argenta's dream was to reach her mother's strength and be considered her equal. In a contorted way, she got that. To put the icing on the cake, the long-lasting lack of care and affection has left her craving love, and now, due to her past and implications, along with her present, Argenta's mood is often unstable and she can easily go through mood swings as she struggles to grasp her feelings and emotions. With time, this might improve, or it could only get worse.

? Carolina Spinosella

She's a tall woman with sparkling, alluring blue eyes and long, silken pink hair cascading down her back in soft waves. Just like Leonard, she wears her jacket draped over the shoulders without using the sleeves. However, her jacket is far more elegant, trimmed with fur around the collar. Her laugh is sassy and unique as much as she is, and most of her sentences begin twice; nobody knows if that's just a nervous tic or her personality.

§
? Reapers
Details: Someone could consider them a clandestine guild; an organization that operates in the shadows, but with numerous secret locations scattered across the world. The Reapers operate globally, taking on quests from anyone as long as they offer a substantial sum of coins. They then decide on the best course of action; either other Reapers volunteer for the task or assignments are made. Argenta's previous guild had a small counter where one could accept quests related to such individuals; a member of the organization personally oversaw it. Argenta took on various assignments from this person. In a way, one could say they were colleagues. According to Caligo, most of them are nothing more than victims of circumstances. Even so, they're not to be underestimated.
Position: Unknown
Guild Master: Unknown
Guild Leader: Unknown
Coordinator: Unknown
Known members: Lu, the stalker
Cities and Locations:
? Zafferbridge: The city that hosts the top four guilds. One of the most important cities and packed with libromancer.
? Silveandria: The city that fell into ruins because of a dungeon in its proximity. The King seeks to restore its glory.
? Goldenovum: The capital. The most important city. Here resides the King and his Royal Palace. Goldenovum is divided into many districts, and according to Caligo, an underground area where adventurers engage in illegal fights can be found here.
? The Forgotten City: An isolated, faraway city. Supposedly, 'where everything began'. Strength is what matters the most, and here, its cultivation was the absolute priority. Now, nothing remains but ruin.
? Argenta's hometown: Where Argenta once lived, and had a place to call 'home'...
? Crimson's place: A cozy place where Argenta was welcomed.
? Feasty Slime: A place to eat and where Elizabeth's party was held. Selena almost fought with the owner.
Terms and Tidbits:
? Dungeons: The manifestations of ancient magic and architecture. Nobody knows how they appear; the sudden appearance of these mysterious buildings defies all logic and explanation. They are categorized into ranks from E to SSS thanks to their engravings. Once cleared, the final chamber can offer treasures such as gold, magic items, and powerful tools. Despite the dangers, dungeons can often prove unrewarding. Yet, clearing them is vital, as monsters break free from their inside, invading the world outside their realm. Once cleared, dungeons persist in their location for several days before gradually dissolving. in S-rank dungeons and above, once inside, it's impossible to get out until cleared.
? Libromancer: Those bestowed the codex are commonly referred to as 'libromancers' by the commoners, a title that gained universal acceptance, being able to cast magic thanks to the magic book, although many preferred to distinguish themselves based on the type of divine weapon they were given.
? Libromagus: Elite libromancers that could top anyone and anything in the world. Supposedly, this was the now Forgotten City's goal. The priest considered Argenta's mother an outlier in this regard as well.
? Codex: It can go by various names; grimoire, tome, spellbook or, simply, book. Each codex features a colored cover. Within it are the libromancer's spells. Considered the source of a libromancer's power. A codex turns to dust the moment its caster dies.
? Divine weapon: The means by which libromancers can attain the codex's magic and powers. Spell's effects are brought forth through the divine weapon. Without it, a libromancer is utterly useless, powerless, and incapable of defending themselves; that's a way to disarm them. Argenta, however, is able to cast spells even without one. A divine weapon dissipates the moment its wielder dies.
? Trials: Labyrinths that powerful cities build to keep monsters and unwanted, unworthy people away. Trials are often separate instances from reality, although they're just as real; full of traps, puzzles and monsters. Only those who overcome them can afford the luxury of entering the city and, potentially, its guilds. Otherwise, there's the main gate, which allows those who want to enter to escape the process, but it's usually very hidden, and an invitation to get past the guards standing in front of it is required anyway.
? Checkpoints: Safe rooms in dungeons, like sanctuaries, devoid of any monsters and usually aesthetically pleasing.
? Dynamic Zone: A concept Argenta's mother taught her. It is a state of absolute focus and awareness where all unnecessary thoughts and unconventional movements vanish; each sense becomes heightened and sharpened to the very peak. Her mother described it as opening a door in the depths of an abyss that made you switch places with a demon. Only a few talented people can enter this state, and even fewer can do so at their own free will.
? Distorted Mana Zone: It's a phenomenon that can occur inside dungeons. According to Crimson, dungeons are naturally filled with condensed mana. When the mana coming from a powerful and large spell meets the one already present in the dungeon, they collide and have a chance to create a Distorted Mana Zone. The only libromancers who have so far been able to manifest such a phenomenon have been: Elizabeth, the Silver Witch, and Benedetta. The latter, presumably, did so in an open space.
? Mana: The source of all magic, and magical power itself. The moment a libromancer casts a spell, a surge of mana is generated, bringing the spell to life. Most people think the codex is the only source of a libromancer's mana, but that is a common misconception; divine weapons contain mana, too, though it's much fainter.
? Mana Resonance: Once mentioned by the Silver Witch. It's a phenomenon that occurs when two spells collide and their mana becomes entangled, influencing each other's properties. According to the Silver Witch, a skilled libromancer attuned to mana can do wonders with such knowledge.
? Rebound: ???
? Sapphire: A material used to craft weapons. If enchanted, it can easily cut through the sturdiest monsters as if they were butter.
? Sea Amethyst: A material used to craft weapons. It pulses with a gentle light, so it's relatively easy to find. If enchanted and properly crafted, sea amethyst can be just as deadly as beautiful.
? Glass' Sky: A rare, incredibly hard, and delicate material to collect. At the same time, it also is the most durable one.
Deities:
? Lala; She's regarded as one of the most beautiful and magnanimous Deities. The legend says that, mourning the death of her most beloved follower, the Goddess Lala shed tears that fell onto the lands. Her tears fused with the soil, creating beautiful crystals; so beautiful that even the dragons loved their shimmering light, and protected them. Such material is now called Glass' Sky. She seems to have appeared in the Star-Rank Dungeon. Those whose codex bears even a hint of her magic are considered to be among the strongest libromancers.
Monsters:
? Brainworms: Once mentioned by Selena during a dungeon. She hates them. They're small, and can quickly force their way into the skin and flesh, devouring the body from within.
? Greater orcs: Once mentioned by Argenta's mother to make fun of her height.
? Goblins: Once mentioned by a mysterious character. Many monsters found in dungeons resemble them but have dark-blue skin.
? Round monster: Monsters that destroyed Silveandria.
? Monsters with claws: Monsters typically found in dungeons.
? Minotaur: Monsters typically found in dungeons, even as bosses.
? Guardian: Monster that guards the boss room.
