Isfrid was born and raised in the world called Orenfall. He is no reincarnator, or transmigrator. He does not know Earth or any of its customs or traditions. In certain situations, I, as the author, will make references to Earth. There will be character growth in a sense; however, it will be different than most other novels.
Isfrid is the sovereign of ice; born to rule. Even as a boy, he will never bow. There may be many who are more powerful than him, many who could kill him with a flick of their wrist; however, power doesn't make them right. It doesn't give Isfrid an excuse to grovel and kneel. He will take a beating now; however, he will return it tenfold in the future. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood.
This is the conviction of a sovereign. Let me also preface this novel with a very important message. Before I am an author, I am a reader. I have read 100's of webnovels and even more novels in general. In almost every piece of fiction I have ever consumed, there have been things I like and don't like, and for some reason, the things I don't like always leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I've given up on finding the perfect novel that doesn't have key aspects, arcs, or just small things that ruin the story for me. I will simply create my own. If you have feedback on the novel, I will always read it and take things critically; however, I will make this clear from the start. I'm not writing this novel for you; I am simply writing it because I want to read it.
If your suggestions can help me create my Ideal novel, I will take them into account and possibly implement them. However, if your ideas conflict with my vision for the novel, I will scrap them without a second thought.
That being said, I hope you enjoy this chronicle of Isfrid.
Power System
MAGICIANS...
Each magician progresses by brightening and eventually cracking their Mana Core, cycling through stages of purity and reforming at higher density. Each stage of purity is reflected by brightness. With each stage, efficiency, potency, and understanding of mana will be increased.
- Brightness Phases
Dim
Faint
Radiant
Luminous
Brilliant
→ Breakthrough: The core shatters and reforms into a denser, more refined core, moving on to the next core grade.
- Core Grades (10 Total)
Apprentice
Adept
Expert
Scholar
Sage
Archmage
Mythic
Celestial
Ethereal
Ascendant
- Each grade repeats the five brightness phases before the next breakthrough.
AUGMENTORS....
Like magicians, augmentors refine their energy through stages — each refining cycle strengthens their aura, maximizes efficiency, and increases their understanding of aura.
- Refinement Stages
Coarse
Flowing
Condensed
Tempered
Perfect
→ Breakthrough: Aura erupts outward, forming a new "ring" or layer of energy. Each breakthrough resets the refinement process at a higher resonance.
- Aura Grades
Novice
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Obsidian
Crimson
Mythril
Divine
- Each grade repeats the five refinement stages before the next breakthrough.
ENCHANTERS....
rank 1
rank 2
rank 3
rank 4
rank 5
- Only five ranks for enchanters; however, there hasn't been a known enchanter to reach anything above rank 3 for as long as people have recorded history.
