Morgen World is mostly inhabited with dangerous beasts or hostile races, thus the Great Archmage created the Hunter Association which employs Hunters to deal with this problem. 

- Hunters could be considered as mercenaries, usually employed for beast-hunting related missions. However, thanks to the effectiveness of their anti-beast methods and systematic education of the Hunter Association, their role soon expanded to handle all sorts of problem. Thus, Hunters does not refer only to beast hunters, but members of the Hunter Association that could be hired for all sorts of missions such as gathering or identifying herbs, material procurement, guard escorts, and due to their relative higher education, they could also took teaching, translating, accounting or other missions. 

 - Hunter-Killers are inherently the same as Hunters but they specialized to deal with other Hunters or intellectual race. The name is an occupational jargon, they do not necessarily kill other hunters or intellectual races despite being specialized in dealing with one. For example, antimages which are specialized in dealing with mages could be considered as Hunter-Killer. They might be dispatched to pursue criminals or renegade hunters who are in possession of Hunter skills.

Also known as Magic Casters: those who can use [Magic Spells]. Mages might be physically fragile, but they have the greatest mind. 

The number of mages amongst mortals is incredibly low, this is due to the high requirement of: 1. Having a Mana Pool, and 2. rich enough to support their resource expenditure. Thus, mages typically came from families with powerful lineages, or nobility.

Known Mage traits:

• Spiritual Force : Mages possessed inherent wisdom-path advantage,  thanks to their spiritual force that can be diluted into telepathic thoughts, will and emotion. 
• Mana Pool : a special organ of which to hold external energy known as Mana. Mana Pool is located somewhere within the mage's belly, it typically does not grow larger as the mage grows in cultivation base, but it can contain greater concentration of mana which indirectly mean it can hold more mana.
• (For rank 1 and above) Innate Defensive Spell : Rank 1 mages can engrave a permanent defensive magic spell on their person, allowing instant activation sequence of the said spell.

Also known as Body Cultivator, or Body Fundamentalist. Martial Artists are those who pursued power relying on their physical body. 

There are far more Martial Artists than Mages due to the relatively cheaper resource expenditure during combat or cultivation. Also, everyone with the slightest amount of talent can train in martial arts.

Known Martial Artist traits:

• Strong physical body : Even non strength-path martial artists possessed stronger physical body compared to mages of the same rank.
• Internal Energy : Martial Artists can use internal energy to perform martial arts.
• High amount of [Body Rune] slots : Thanks to martial training, the physical body of martial artists can bear more load compared to mages of the same rank.   

Mage have magic spells, Martial Artist have martial arts, Priests have Blessings, and Soul Cultivator have soul arts. 

Things get a bit funky when a dual cultivator of mage and martial arts tried to combine them together. Usually, two methods from different system wouldn't usually work like intended. For example, a punch-type offensive martial arts wouldn't be easily be combined with a fireball magic spell. However, it's not like cultivators are dumb. If they can't be combined, then some fools would research on how to combine them effectively. 

The result is a [Killer Move], a combination of two or more methods, typically an ultimate move whose effect might differ. It could be two, three, or sixteen magic spells combined together, or one magic spell and blessing being combined to produce a special effect. 

A good example is [Fireball] spell. If combined with the metamagic [Quadruple Maximize], the [Fireball] can become a killer move that produce four fireballs at once.  For advance mages, they can use scrolls or potion to cast spells, they can be combined with other methods to produce Killer Moves. The possibilities are endless.

Weapon, armors, items, or objects which was engraved with magical runes, laced with magic spell or treated with special martial arts, thus possession certain level of supernatural abilities.

 Magic Scrolls can be considered as one-time use artifact.

Invented by the 2nd Hero, is a method to engrave magical runes into the physical body to directly grant the host supernatural abilities or physical augmentations. It is the process of refining the physical body into an [Artifact]. Body Runes put a heavy burden towards the host, therefore only a few can be engraved on the body at one time (There are some special ones which are permanent). 

[Body Rune Slot] is the physical limit of the host. If exceeded, the host might explode.

Body Runes are separated into various types, from granting flat physical augmentations, to special ones that could grant special abilities.
Body Runes are further separated by the location of which it can be engraved into: Hands, feet, torso, back, or head.

Note : It is possible for a Head-slot body rune to be engraved onto the host's eye, turning the said eye into a [Magic Eye]

An advanced type of [Artifact] with an ego: an intellectual weapon, armor, or tools that could think, assist or fight by itself and continuously grow depending on the design. 

Due to the high technical requirement to craft one, only rank 3 refinement-path experts are able refine them.

An invention of the Great Archmage Mordred: an artificial Mana Pool. 

It can replace the need of Mana Pool for non-mages to possesses spell-casting capability. The primary material for a Mana Aperture is a Mana Pool. Meaning: this type of mana battery came from the death of someone else.  

Mana Aperture cannot grow, the 'mana capacity' can never increase like a mana pool, forcing Quasi-mages to replace their mana apertures as their cultivation base increases. In addition, it does not have a 'natural mana regeneration'. Quasi-mages will have to manually attracts mana into their aperture through meditation or chugging down mana potions. 

When a cultivator deepen their understanding toward a certain path, it was like how they solve mathematical questions. Attainment levels are separated into 6 realms.

1. [Ordinary]

2. [Master] 

3. [Grandmaster]

4. [Legendary]

Magi (plural for Magus) pursue the 'Absolute Truth' (The Dao). The universal Absolute Truth is not limited to one specific aspect or field as all knowledge will ultimately aggregate into the truth. When a Magus pursue the Absolute Truth, they are carving a 'path' of their field. 

For example, a fire-path mage revered to a mage that pursue the absolute truth through the dao of fire, deepening their understanding of fire. A time-path priestess would be a priestess who studied on time-related methods, sword-path martial arts meant martial arts that work on the field of sword, so on and so forth. This classification also extend to Artifact, Body Runes, cultivation resources, or other.  

The Nine Elemental Particles, which are the primary resources of the Nine Elemental Paths, are the basic building blocks of Morgen World. Since they can easily be found in nature, they become the orthodox cultivation-path of Morgen World.

Each of them are self-explanatory, they are :

1. Fire-path. Specialty: High destructive power, excels in destruction
2. Water-path. Specialty: Flexible, flowing 
3. Earth-path. Specialty: Inexhaustible, excels in defense
4. Wind-path. Specialty: Invisible and unfettered
5. Wood-path. Specialty: Regenerative, low-cost, sustainable

7. Lightning-path. Specialty: Excels in burst.
8. Light-path. Specialty: Fastest, excels in saturation.
9. Dark-path. Specialty: Excels in stealth.

A path officially invented by Archmage Mordred during the war with Demon King Maximilian.

Wisdom-path revolves around three core concept: Thoughts, Will and Emotion.
They are often referred as telepathic thoughts, telepathic will, or telepathic emotion. Cultivating in wisdom-path means having control upon these three concepts.

Some wisdom-path experts are capable of deducing their foe's information from the clues they left off, allowing them to push their foe into a trap or traps. 

Mages' [Spiritual Force] is considered as supreme wisdom-path resources, it can be diluted into thoughts, will, or emotion. Thus, mages possessed certain level of inherent wisdom-path advantage compared to martial artist. 

Note:  Every Magus of Holy Terra are natural wisdom-path cultivators due to their upbringing as scholars of truth (Chapter 04).  Further information regarding Magus would be revealed later.

Is a cultivation path focused on refining raw materials into useful resources such as potions, body runes, weapons, Artifacts, or spell resources.
Refinement-path has two major School of Thoughts:

• Nature Refinement

• Artificial Refinement

Isolating the refinement process from the natural world. The benefit of this is to reduce the amount of clues that can be picked up from the environment by wisdom-path cultivators or others. Most modern refinement-process are done this way.

Known Jobs related with refinement-path: Artificer, Magos, Blacksmith, Engineer, Alchemist, Chemist, Biologist and their variations. 

Note: Refinement-path does not exist on Holy Terra (Chapter 09)

This path is specialized in using the physical body's natural strength or the increment of thereof. Pure strength-path cultivators are usually known as Body Fundamentalist who pursue physical strength to the absolute limit.

Strength-path has three major School of Thoughts:

• Self Strength

The true martial arts of strength-path that utilizes certain techniques inspired by nature, beast, or others to improve one's natural strength. Most strength-path martial artist cultivate this school of thought.

• Beast Strength

A branch inspired by beasts. Beast Strength confine the strength of beast into their body, but beast and human body is anatomically and biologically different compared to beast. Therefore, to accommodate the beast's strength, a part of the cultivator body would slowly change into that of beast. The effect are familiar with transformation-path methods, but the changes are miniscule and usually semi-permanent.

• Atmospheric Strength

Strength borrowed or gained from nature. Little to no information is known regarding atmospheric strength, but Arakawa Kenji was capable of gaining strength-amplification while his body was burning. One of the well-known Atmospheric Strength method is [Force Explosion] and its variants, allowing body fundamentalists to attack from long range.

Known jobs related with strength-path: Ascetic Monk, Brutal Swordbreaker 

A mage-only cultivation path founded by one of the 2nd Generation Braves. It is the usage of beasts, plants, elemental creatures, magical puppets or cannon fodders in general to fight for their masters. 

The number of slave the master could control depends on their [Spiritual Foundation]. A way to circumvent this is to enslave higher ranked beast (e.g.: rank 3) while the said beast would enslave the lower ranked beast (rank 2 and below). Enslavement-path masters would typically choose one beast-type instead of multiple beast at one time due to their similar soul or spiritual frequency, allowing the said master to enslave more.

After the Undead Calamity (the 3rd Hero's era), the existence of necro-path allows non-mages to cultivate enslavement-path through [Soul Foundation] instead of [Spiritual Foundation].

Enslavement-path methods have limited effect on intellectual creature as the higher the target's Soul or Spiritual foundation, the more 'enslavement capacity' it uses up which ultimately reduces the master's capability in all metrics. Therefore, although it can be used on intellectual race, it does not happen often.

Known Jobs related with enslavement-path: Beast Master, Beast Tamer, Elementalist and their variations.

A cultivation path of pure offence, it has the highest damage output amongst all paths. Yet, other aspects such as defence, investigative, stealth, auxiliary, healing and support are lacklustre.

The core concept of necro-path revolves around corpses and the utilization of thereof. 

Also known as Necromancy. 

Necro-path cultivators are scholars of death, exceling in interrogation of the dead or using the dead as raw material to refine useful undead resources. Since it uses the same foundation as enslavement-path, most necromancers cultivate enslavement-path as their secondary path.

Known Jobs related with necro-path: Corpse Eater, Necromancer and their variations. 

Note: Undead could be considered as necro-path 'lifeform'. Therefore, not all necromancer are undead, but all undead are, up to a certain point, necro-path cultivators.  

Revolves around souls, be it the cultivator's own or their foe's. The supreme resources of soul-path is... souls.
There are three components of a soul: Truesoul, soulforce, and soul essence.

- Truesoul is the core component of a soul, it is what held the identity, personality, and memories of a person. Truesoul quality is directly connected to one's experience, personality, and other factors.
- Soulforce is the internal energy of a soul, it can automatically recover like stamina depending on one's Truesoul quality. Mediation, sleeping and other soul pacification method augment soulforce recovery effects.
- Soul Essence is the external energy of a soul, Truesoul would automatically consume soul nutrients from the environment to generate Soul Essence. 

When a living creature with soul dies, their soul essence and soulforce dissipates rapidly, becoming a bountiful source of soul nutrient. The truesoul of the said creature, if unclaimed (by the Divines or other soul-seeking professions), will also dissipates naturally.   

According to Mordred's soul-path True Inheritance (chapter 06), there are three facet of soul-path:

• Self-Soul

• All Being's Soul

Relates to the soul of living beings and the interaction of thereof. Soul-path life alteration surgery, Soul Modification, [Soul Devour] method, or the creation of Soul-path slave such as Spectral Soul, Spectral Hound or Sentinel Soulguard are All Being's Soul methods. For Mordred, enslavement-path is an extension of All Being's Soul's method as the two depends on the same foundation. To him, enslavement is not a path, but an aspect of soul-path. 

• Heaven and Earth's Soul

Note: Along with sound-path, soul-path is Mordred's original cultivation path before infiltrating Morgen World.

In Morgen World, information-path is the invention of Great Archmage Mordred during the late stage of the war against Demon King Maximilian (chapter 34).

Information-path revolves around gathering, transmission, storage, and encryption of information, it's destructive nature is extremely low. Information-path is not wisdom-path, it does not specialized in processing information, but wisdom-path cultivators are fond of information-path methods due to it's supportive nature in deduction or other wisdom-path activities. 

The Hunter Association branches all around the world are connected in an information-path network known as [World Wide Weave], allowing rapid exchange of information. Although not every city in kingdoms or empires are connected to the network, it is expanding slowly as more location are granted information-path service. 

Note: Mordred's information-path attainment are gained from his conflict with Intelligent Metal, a Magus of information-path in Holy Terra (chapter 04). 

Those who offered their faith towards Gods in exchange of divine force are faith-path cultivators. It is considered a sub-path, there's no pure faith-path cultivator. For example, a believer of the Martial God Azlan cultivate in both faith-path and strength-path. A believer of the Eternal Time Dragon cultivate time-path and faith-path in tandem. So on and so forth.

The energy source of faith-path is [Divine Force] and their method is revered as [Blessing].

As a sub-path, faith-path methods have great healing-amplification effect on top of the primary-path.

Known jobs related to faith-path: Paladins, Priest, Battlepriestess, Clerics, Pope, and other church-related jobs.

Note: Faith-path only emerges after the era of the 3rd Hero. Faith-path is spearheaded by the Twelve Main Divines: They are twelve most powerful gods who have their own pantheon.

The Association is a neutral organization, with helping the local country/government and information-gathering as the priority rather than profit. Mortals or cultivators can use the Association for 'request', which would be given to Hunters as 'mission'.
