Shang and Jerald read through the lengthy contract while absorbing all the information.

There was a lot written down in the contract, but their minds were fast enough to read through all of it in a relatively short amount of time.

The five Kingdoms were known as Area 23, and it was one of about 100 Areas created for different fields of research.

All these 100 Areas belonged to the Lightning Manor, and the contract also introduced the Lightning Manor.

The Lightning Manor owned around 10% of the world. There were nine other powers that also owned 10% each, but the contract didn't name them. It only said that they existed.

The Lightning Emperor was the leader of the Lightning Manor, and he was one of the ten Mage Emperors of the world.

The levels of the world went like this:

Apprentice.

Adept.

True Mage.

High Mage.

Archmage.

Ancestral Mage.

Mage Lord.

Mage King.

Mage Emperor.

The Mage Emperors were the absolute strongest beings in the world, and they were unfathomably old and ancient.

The contract conveyed all of this so that the person signing the contract knew how powerful the organization was they now worked for.

The Lightning Manor consisted of one Mage Emperor, eight Mage Kings, and over 7,000 Mage Lords!

Just one single Mage Lord was unfathomably more powerful than even the strongest Zone Beast in Area 23, and the Lightning Manor had over 7,000 of those!

The contract also introduced the eight Mage Kings with pictures and names, and Shang noticed a familiar face.
