Author's Note:
Before I proceed to the next chapter which will be posted within the same day, I'm just gonna make this short interlude to explain some of the terminologies that will be dropped since magic technobabble will be prevalent in the upcoming and future chapters.
Let's start, shall we?

Example 1:" it's currently the first bell at dusk"
First bell = an hour after
Dusk = from 6pm to 12am
Meaning: "it's currently 7pm"
Example 2: "it was around the second bell after noon where we found it."
Second bell = 2 hours after
After Noon = from 12pm to 6pm
Meaning: "it was around 2pm where we found it."
Note: This is only a legend if you've seen that there's a writing like this in the story, although the story would develop from thereon out that it won't even follow these references in the near future.

Levels of Magic Spells:
Basic-class Magic
- magic spells that work for the caster for its variety of uses and it doesn't normally possess lethality except for rare occasions.
Combat-class Magic
- magic spells that possesses lethality against an another caster. Primarily used for basic mage-to-mage combat.
Intermediate-class Magic
- magic spells that are used to deal with a small number of targets simultaneously with lethality guaranteed.
Tactical-class Magic
- spells that cannot be used by an individual mage alone (with the exception of a few) as it requires enormous amounts of mana against a large number of targets (such as battle companies and battalions) in a battlefield.
Strategic-class Magic
- the highest order of combat magic, the Strategic-class Magic is a level of magic spells that can cause mass devastation to an entire army or even a city, and is widely regarded as a magic deterrence against countries that has similar class of spells under their disposal.

Anyway, that's probably all for now. The worldbuilding won't be included here yet as it'll unravel itself when the story progresses. Adieu~
