Thank you for the update, and thank you for creating this story.
I particularly enjoy both this style of world-building, as well as this type of protagonist. One particular detail about the world that you made, that I really appreciated, was the fact that although there is a massive gap between the most powerful adventures and new adventures, It does not seem to be unattainable for any new adventurer to eventually reach that level of power. It is thanks to this fact, that when a character advances in the adventurer's ranking system, it is much more satisfying to read than in other works of fiction.
Also, thank you for keeping Caldwell relatively powerless, as all his achievements will be more enjoyable to read if he has to overcome his shortcomings through his own intelligence, rather than magical power.
I have a two questions regarding some of the characters:
How did Caldwell and Bram meet?
If Caldwell's magical power can be perceived as lying at the lower extreme of the magical power bell curve, where would Bram lie? Would Bram lie at the other extreme, or does he just possess a relatively high amount of magical power?
Once again, thank you for the update, and I hope you enjoy creating this as much as I enjoy reading it.
