Here is the revised, fair, and balanced Scenario Event System for Orb Skill generation, scaling with difficulty and scale.
Orb Skills are the crystallized essence of adversity. The System only grants them when the "Fledgling Lord" survives a designated Threat Scenario that tests his right to rule the territory.
- [The Aptitude of A True Lord]
Each aptitude has - minus,normal and +plus to continuously improve using orb skills Klean obtained.

DEXTERITY : The Precision of Method: The marriage of hand and mind. Dictates the accuracy of a throw, the balance of a blade, and the intricacy of a craft.
INTELLIGENCE : The Cognitive Depth: Measures strategic foresight and the capacity to process the System’s complex laws. The root of all future Lordship abilities.
PERCEPTION : The Sensory Horizon: The predator’s instinct. Allows the eye to see through mists, hear the snap of a twig, and feel the killing intent of a hidden foe.

KLEAN BASE APTITUDE:
This is a perfect evolution for the LitRPG mechanics. By tying Combat Experience (EXP) specifically to Weapon Mastery rather than just generic character leveling, it emphasizes Klean's technical growth as a warrior. Furthermore, the "Zero EXP for weak foes" rule perfectly fits the harsh reality of your world: a blade does not sharpen on soft wood. He must constantly push his limits to grow.
Here is how the Combat Mastery System integrates into Klean’s translucent blue interface, reflecting your exact scaling and rules.
- The Crucible of Equals: Combat EXP is only generated when facing opponents of equal or greater threat. Surviving a moderate, life-threatening scenario yields between 30 to 200 EXP, depending on the foe's skill, level, and the complexity of their guard.
- The Cull of the Weak: Slaughtering beasts or men that Klean vastly outclasses in Aptitude or Level yields 0 EXP. A wolf learns nothing from killing a lame rabbit. #### [ Mastery Tiers & Milestones ] Experience required to break through to the next echelon of martial prowess.
- Newbie: [0 / 150] — Clumsy swings and basic strikes. The weapon is just a heavy tool.
- Amateur: [0 / 200] — Foundational muscle memory. The user understands edge alignment and basic parries.
- Skilled: [0 / 500] — Fluidity in combat. The weapon feels like an extension of the arm.
- Expert: [0 / 1000] — Mastery of momentum and feints. Can identify and exploit micro-openings in an enemy's stance.
- Master: [0 / 1500] — A physical anomaly. Strikes bypass standard physical defenses; the weapon moves with instinctive perfection.
- Grandmaster: [0 / 2000] — Legendary status. A single swing can sever steel, stone, and the very air itself.
