Just as humans had their ranking system that governed strength, potential, and political weight, magical beasts followed a structure equally formidable.
In contrast to humans, who constructed sprawling nations and forged their legacies through intricate bloodlines and layers of bureaucracy, the beasts existed in harmony with the world around them.
They danced to the rhythmic cadence of nature, attuned to the vibrant pulse of mana coursing through the land, guided solely by their instincts, unbound by the complexities of civilization.
Their strength was not only earned through battle but carved through sheer will, evolution, and in many cases, survival in the most brutal terrains of the world.
The ranking system of magical beasts began at the Basic Rank.
These creatures were not yet truly magical in any meaningful sense. They were animals whose bodies had just begun to absorb mana from the world around them, giving them slight boosts in vitality, speed, and strength.
