Sword God in a World of Magic

The mission board was absolutely filled with missions. The other mission boards couldn't compare at all to this one, which made sense.

Warrior's Paradise was a gigantic city fully focused on economy. People from all over the world came here to get rare materials from rare beasts, and the reason why Warrior's Paradise could get these rare materials was its very location.

It was in the middle of three differently ranked wildernesses.

Of course, the most important was the Canyon. The Canyon housed many beasts in the Third Realm, and those were the desirable ones for the city and the people visiting it.

However, to keep such a high-ranked wilderness healthy, there had to be lower-ranked wildernesses in its vicinity. A beast in the Third Realm couldn't just have its children in such a highly ranked wilderness.

After all, how will the beasts learn to fend for themselves and become more powerful? This wasn't Earth where it was natural for a beast to reach the power of its parents.

No, the offspring of a beast in the Third Realm would barely reach the Initial Second Realm before it counted as fully grown. At that point, it needed to become more powerful by hunting powerful beasts.

Because of that, basically all offspring of the truly powerful beasts were sent to an area filled with beasts in the First Realm. The offspring still had a definite advantage in the First Realm since it came from such a powerful bloodline, but that would change in the Second Realm.

That was why these lower-ranked wildernesses acted as a training ground for the offspring of powerful beasts. The offspring would learn to fight in these areas, and they would have to truly prove themselves in areas housing beasts in the Second Realm.

And only when they managed to get through all the other beasts could they go to the Canyon.

So, even though the Canyon was the most important wilderness around Warrior's Paradise, it couldn't exist without the Wasteland and the Wild Forest. Without these two, new beasts in the Third Realm would become extremely rare, and Warrior's Paradise would inevitably eradicate the powerful beasts.

However, the Wild Forest and the Wasteland still needed a lot of maintenance.

First of all, the beast population had to be kept in place, or the beasts would start spilling over into the other wildernesses or even attack the Farm Line.

Second, there were several beast kinds that specifically hunted talented young beasts, and those were bad for Warrior's Paradise for obvious reasons. No talented offspring, no new Third Realm beasts.

And since there were three wildernesses around Warrior's Paradise, the missions regarding beasts were insanely numerous.
