A/N: Thank you for the feedback. I am grateful to everyone who has read and supported this project so far.
This chapter shifts from the main narrative to explore intricate details of the world that have been hinted at. It provides a focused look at the elements shaping the characters and events. Readers are encouraged to engage with these concepts using their imagination and theories, as the story's history and world continue to unfold in future chapters. In the following chapters, a Q&A section will address reader questions without revealing spoilers for upcoming content.
*I couldn't upload the chart/pic to make my life easier. You'll find it out there if you search for it. I will try to explain the chart in the best way I can for your convenience.*

These are basic character attributes for our adventurers in this world and how each attribute affects other aspects of their aptitude. Some stats are easy to understand and more generic, but just for the sake of avoiding confusion, I'll go over them.
P. Att: physical attack, P.Pen: physical penetration, Block: ability/rate to block, Hps: Hit point regen rate, Shield: ability to shield, Heal: ability to heal or receive heal, Hp: Hit points, Def: physical defense, Resistance: magic defense/resistance to status effect, Crit Dmg: critical damage, Crit Res: critical resistance, Crit rate: critical rate, Dodge: ability/rate to dodge, speed: affects attack speed/movement, Mps: mana regeneration rate, M. Att: magic attack, MP: mana points, M.Pen: magic penetration.

Table2
Ale:
Str C, Vit C, Con C, Dex A, Agi A, Int B, Wis D
Rank Wood, Class Twin Sword, Element Thunder.
Acharya:
Str B, Vit C, Con D, Dex B, Agi A, Int B, Wis D
Rank Wood, Class Ranger, Element Wind.

These attribute grades are based on their current level, which will change as they obtain or craft better gear and obtain better skills. And there is no such thing as a perfect SSS build in my story :P
Elements:
There are 7 core elements: Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Dark, Space/Time(ST), Light. Accompanied by 4 derivative elements: Sound, Ice, Thunder, and Metal. Dark, light, and ST are divine, therefore, rare elements.
Like most video games, each element is more effective or resistant to the other. The sequence in which I wrote them is how it works. Water>Fire>Earth and Sound>Ice>Thunder coming back to Light>Wind and Metal>Sound. Everyone can learn basic spells (not skills) from other elements except the one they are weak to, like a Fire main cannot learn Water Spell. Main and derivative elements can learn and use the Intermediate spells from their respective counterparts; for example, fire and thunder easily learn the intermediate skills from each other.
A user with the Fire element will take 10% more damage from water, with a crit rate increased against them. Fire will take 50% less damage from fire, 25% less damage from thunder, and 10% less damage from earth. Similarly, as a derivative element, thunder takes 25% less damage from fire.
Classes:
Like many games, you can create whatever build you like. You can go a strength archer if you want, or an agile mage, or a magic swordmaster. The possibilities are endless due to the sheer number of combinations through equipment, weapons, and elements.
Most class names are self-explanatory. Like, if we introduce a magic swordsman, he will have a spell blade class. We will name each class as we go...
