Legendary and epic monsters are essentially monster variants with extra abilities that outstrip their current tier with legendary being much much stronger than epic.

legendary monsters with certain absurd abilities that push them far outside of the norm(they are always born with these abilities). They are 'born' at a minimum of tier 5.

epic-monsters that through action or luck, surpass their current tier(these 'power-ups' are always achieved when they increased in tiers).

mythic-a legendary monster gaining epic abilities upon tiering up.

8*-Certain powerhouse mythic monsters can push past the current boundaries of power and achieve something which is likened to 'godhood'.

Miracle bonding- During the bonding process there is a very small chance that the first two levels are skipped and immediately completed. The chance was absolutely miniscule hence the naming. But during one's first bond the chances are dramatically increased though it was still very small.

It also reduces maintenance cost of monster girls by a factor of five(Does not stack with first bond), as well giving a powerful essence quality bump.

Level 1: A tether is formed between monster and human and the monster no longer desires to feed on any other human. This makes the monster 'fall in love' with a tamer.

level 2: The tether is strengthened so much so that monster can transform to be 'closer' to the tamer. This normally comes in the form of an 'equipment' they can wear or use but there have been cases of crippled tamers having their entire limb replaced with a monster girl.  In this state the monster girl is 'dormant' and so consumes little to no essence. The monster girl becomes even more 'obsessed' with the tamer.

level 3:The tether is complete and can no longer be broken. This gives the tamer a portion of the monster's power and vice versa(though the power gained from the tamer tend to be too miniscule to be useful). The monster also 'share their lives': the monster girl gains 'immortality' as long as the tamer is alive and the tamer gains the complete 'life span' of the monster girl. The monster girl also gains a minimum amount of mana they cannot fall below having effectively 'infinite' mana.

Equipment/Monster-gear refers to the second level of the bond where the tether between man and monster is strong enough that the monster can achieve a dormant state while her 'core' enters her tamer. In this state the monster girl expends next to no mana and her physical becomes 'attached' to the tamer in a different form. It ranges from usable items to new appendages and everything in between. In this state, a huge portion of her power is bestowed upon the tamer. 

So much so that a tamer with three pieces of tier 5 monster gear is equal to a tier 5 monster girl. Normally one piece should have been enough but without their core the amount of power a vessel holds is heavily diminished. 

It is advised to keep at least half your tames in their gear form. More than one tamer survived a sticky situation purely because of the buffs they received from their monster girl gear.

Bond slots are the maximum number of bonds a tamer can have. It also signifies the highest level of bond they can have. 

The normal is five. The ascended are the exception to this rule as that they have six slots from birth. 

The only way to increase bond slots is to bond monster girls.

To increase it by 1 a tamer needs to bond ten tier 0s, nine tier 1s, eight tier 2s, seven tier 3s, six tier 4s, five tier 5s, four tier 6s, and three tier 7s. Epic, legendary, or even mythic do not give extra slots.

The exception to this rule is the first bond which gives five times the initial benefit to their tamer so a tier 0 will act like a tier 5 and tier 5 would be essentially 1 to 1.

Monsters are divided into classes to give a general understanding of where they should be in and out of combat. monsters can be a mix of multiple classes. Here is a list of some:

Assassin- used to finish fights quickly and stealthily

Tank-used to absorb damage

Scout- to survey an area, often using stealth as a component but not necessary

Power-Mage- long ranged arcane damage dealer. Also used out of combat for their arcane knowledge and ability

Utility-Mage- can empower allies or use crowd control abilities. Also used out of combat for their arcane knowledge and ability.

Fighter-physical frontline combatant.

spellblade-magical frontline combatant.

Archer-physical long ranged combatant.

 Healer- combatant with restorative abilities

Alchemist-Good with alchemical reagents

Hunter-Good to hunt wild game

Gatherer-Good with collecting flora

Herbalist-Good with manipulating flora

Blacksmith-good with metal

tailor-good with cloth or leather

carpenter-good with wood

The first bond is the most unique and arguably the most important bond of a tamer.

First, the chance of a miracle bond happening is greatly increased.

Second, The initial boosts given are boosted to be about five times normal.

Third, they needed a fifth of the normal essence consumption to stay at full capacity.

But even those benefits held nothing to what truly mattered and were often overlooked. An unbonded tamer was at their weakest and most pliable state and their first bond often defined how they viewed the world. 

Their views on the world are shaped by the monster girl they bonded with and how they acted. 

An example, if your first bond was an angel you will pick up some of their obedient and 'righteous' tendencies purely because of how close you and your monster girl will get and you are yet to be hardened and disillusioned by the world. 

A piece of over wear that covers most of Simon's body. 

It is incredibly resilient to all forms of physical force and is fire-proof.

It also increases Simon's base physical attributes substantially.

The claw design can extend to become real claws that can light on fire(normally hellflame but that ability is currently sealed as well as rip through reality which is also sealed.

On top of this while wearing this jacket any entity he considers an ally in close proximity to him gains a substantial boost in all physical attributes.

The number of monster girls far outstrip the number of tamers capable of handling them and even the invention of artificial essence was not enough to manage all of them. The answer the sorcerer's guild came to was Monster gems. A monster gem can store a monster girl and keep her in a dormant state for extended periods of time without the need of a tamer. 

It could imitate a level 2 bond for the monster girl without a host which made gems very useful. Overtime, magic also made it possible to make it so that gems could perform unique functions on the monster girl.

Sadly because of their high demand and relatively short short supply makes them very expensive for the average tamer.
