This chapter is optional and exists for readers who want a deeper look into the power systems, ranks, and factions that shape the world of Overpowered Bartender: A Life Without You.
If you prefer discovering things naturally through the story, feel free to skip it and come back later!
I. Two Worlds: Earth vs. Vanyr
Alaric Veyne is not from Earth.
He hails from a war-torn realm called Vanyr, where demons, divine beings, and monstrous power reign. Endless battles shaped his existence — until everything was taken from him.
Now, on Earth… everything seems too quiet. Too soft.
But change is coming.
II. Energy Systems
There are three main energy types — with a rare fourth exclusive to a few.
1. Mana
Used by: Mages, elemental casters, and ranged spell users.
Stored by wrapping energy around the heart, forming circles.
Power increases with the number of circles.
Circle Stages: 1st Circle → 9th Circle (9th is the current known mortal limit).
2. Aura
Used by: Warriors, swordsmen, and melee-type fighters.
Energy is stored across the entire body, channeled as raw aura.
Strength depends on physical mastery and weapon training.
Weapon Mastery Progression:
Novice → Trainee → Warrior → Veteran → Sword Master → Divine Swordmaster/Spearmaster/etc.
3. Divine Power
Used by: Healers, priests, temple-affiliated fighters.
Stored within the body, especially the head.
Stronger than mana in treating curses, spiritual wounds, and supernatural afflictions.
4. Qi (Used by Alaric)
A martial energy used in cultivation-style systems.
Stored in three dantians instead of circles.
Balances physical might, internal control, and spiritual force.
Alaric uses Qi in a system similar to ancient Murim martial arts.
III. Ranking Systems
Earth's Ranking System
Hunters:
E-Class → D → C → B → A → S → SS → SSS
Advanced Ranks:
UR (Ultra Rare)
EX-Class
Z-Class (nearly mythical power)
Special Designations:
Rankers: Exceptionally powerful beings, sometimes connected to gods or divine patrons.
Irregulars: People who left Earth, survived another world, and returned stronger.
Unrankers: Hidden fighters — off the radar, sometimes working for criminal powers or elite masters.
Vanyr's Rank System (Alaric's World)
Disciple
Trainee
Initiate
Warrior
Champion

Demigod
Abyssal Ascendant / Divine Ascendant
Even a simple Trainee from Vanyr could defeat most B-Rank Hunters on Earth.
IV. Major Guilds
White Tiger Guild
A major righteous faction.
Known for discipline, integrity, and elite warriors.
Home of the SSS-Rank Tower Destroyer, Jinhwan Ra.
Actively protects civilians and fights dungeon corruption.
Black Snake Guild
A criminal, black-market guild.
Known for trafficking, extortion, and backroom deals.
Targets the weak, corrupts the strong.
Feared more for their influence than their public reputation.
V. Quick Reference Glossary
Dantian: Energy core used to store Qi in martial arts-based systems.
Circle: A formation of mana around the heart, representing power level for mages.
Divine Power: Sacred healing or smiting force connected to gods or holy systems.
Irregular: A system-defying anomaly, often stronger than the ranking system can measure.
Tower Destroyer: Title of Jinhwan Ra, who once solo-cleared and collapsed an S-class dungeon tower.
Thanks for diving deeper into the world!
The story continues — and the deeper we go, the more powerful the truths become.
Perfect — if the goal is to make Alaric the absolute pinnacle of both worlds, here's how we can adjust the Power Comparison Table to reflect that he exists above all systems, beyond measurement.
This version clearly shows that no rank in either world can contain or define him.
