Race

**Race** (種族, *shuzoku*?) is a term used to describe the physiological species of beings.

## Physical Lifeform

**Physical Lifeforms** are lifeforms that are completely dependent on their Material Body, relying on things like biological functions and being subject to lifespan and possessing no spiritual qualities, though they do still possess a Soul. The inhabitants of Earth are of this type before being reconstructed by a grimoire.

### Human

**Humans** (人間(ヒューマン), *hyūman*?) of Earth are extraordinarily weak. They possess no spiritual qualities meaning their bodies aren't able to utilize or even store animus in any way. They develop their strength by creating weapons that are able to surmount most other stronger lifeforms on their native planet and dominate as the apex predator. They are able to become Demi-Physical and learn Sorcery by reading a grimoire which reconstructs their soul and grants them a spiritual body.

## Demi-Physical Lifeform

**Demi-Physical Lifeforms** are lifeforms that, despite being completely dependent on their Material Body, still display some spiritual qualities such as possessing animus. It is this quality that makes them Demi-Physical (半物質, *han-busshitsu*?) in nature.

### Iman

**Imans** (定命, *Jōmyō*, lit. "Mortal Body"?) are the most stable of lifeforms out of the Three Great Races. Their mind isn't as unresponsive as an Asura nor is it as hyper-volatile as a Naraka. Because of this mental stability, they have, after fighting for hundreds of years, become the ruiling species of Alrum. They vary wildly in strength. The Human Gigants are known to have the highest physical statistic out of the human subspecies, only being beat by certain Werebeast, with Dryads having the highest magecraft potential due to their long lived cooperation with Fairies.

### Asura

**Asuras** (天体, *Tentai*, lit. "Heavenly Body"?) are the most powerful of the Three Great Races. They possess the highest volume of Animus and the most long lived of any Demi-Physical Lifeforms. They're strong enough to dominate the world and enslave every living creature, but are held back by their natural apathy. They have no desire outside of their continued existence, and because they have no desire for reproduction, their population is in the three digits.

### Naraka

**Narakins** (地獄, *Jigoku*, lit. "Hellish Body"?) are the most demonic of the Three Great Races, if you're seeing it from the outside. Their brain has a larger amygdala which results in a heightened output of emotions. They can feel 3 times the emotional intensity of humans, even a small action can result in exaggerated reactions. They are the physically strongest of the three with the lowest magecraft potential.

### Phantasmal

**Phantasmal** (魔物(ファンタスマル), *fantasumaru*?) is a catch-all term that refers to all Animus-based lifeforms. As magical beings, phantasmals do not require the essentialities of normal lifeforms—such as eating, drinking, sleeping, or breathing—and instead only require sufficient animus for sustenance.

They can be broken up into two major groups. The mindless monsters which typically don't pay humans much attention and seek out prey with a large amount of animus with the incentive of evolution, these are usually Magic Beast. And the intelligent phantasmals otherwise known as Majin who tend to ally themselves with kings of hell and their ilk instead of humanity.

## Demi-Spiritual Lifeforms

**Demi-Spiritual Lifeforms** (半精神生命体, *han-seishin seimei-tai*?) are a type of being that are, as the name suggests, a step below Spiritual Lifeforms. They think with their Spiritual Body and make up the "lesser" races found within Spiritual Worlds. Being unbound to flesh and not requiring a Material Body to function naturally means that Demi-Spiritual Lifeforms have their memory storage and thoughts located within their Spiritual Body or even deeper within. And for those that possess a Material Body, it becomes almost unbound by lifespan, having it's physical structure reconstructed over time to surpass the limits of organic life. Even if their brains are destroyed, they can regenerate it without any issues.

### Enlightened

**Enlightened** (仙人(せんじん), *senjin*?) is a term used by Humans to refer to those among them who have "evolved the correct way" and become Demi-Spiritual Lifeforms. The exact criteria for being considered one seem to be arbitrarily decided, but isn't incorrect to call any Human or Demi-Human who has become a demi-spiritual lifeform as an "Enlightened".

## Spiritual Lifeforms

**Spiritual Lifeforms** (精神生命体, *seishin seimei-tai*?) are a type of being that can think and act with only their Soul and Astral Body. They're beings of pure willpower that typically reside within spiritual worlds but are occasionally born among or evolved from material and demi-spiritual beings and need a physical vessel to remain inside the material plane. As psychic beings, the beliefs that Spiritual Lifeforms hold about themselves are extremely important. Not only is their appearance dictated by their own self image, the abilities they develop can also be said to reflections of their desires. Just the act of perceiving an opponent as being superior to themselves could be enough to make them lose a fight, with a true admittance of utter defeat usually either resulting in the loser becoming loyal to the victor or even potentially being fatal. Even having their emotions become unstable due to taunts or similar can change the tide of battle.

### Saint

**Saint** (聖人, *seijin*?) is a term used by Humans to refer to those among them who have "evolved the correct way" and become Spiritual Lifeforms. The exact criteria for being considered one seem to be arbitrarily decided, but isn't incorrect to call any demi-physical lifeform who has become a spiritual lifeform as a "Saint".

### Fairies

**Fairies** (精霊(フェアリー), *fearī*?) are a major race of Spiritual Lifeforms that are strong against Djinns but weak against Archons. They're the spirits of nature and come into existence from collections of natural energy or as offshoots of a higher elemental. They feed off of natural energy to fuel their evolution and when incarnated into physical form they're collectively known as "Pixies".

The vast majority of the race is made up of low tier, **Lesser Fairies** which have knowledge and sentience but near non existent personalities. They'll lend their power to almost anyone, but in turn the power they offer is minimal. Beyond Lesser Fairies are **Medium Fairies**, Lesser Fairies who have lived long enough and gathered enough natural energy to evolve into a higher species. Medium Fairies take on a proper appearance and have much more present personalities (sometimes even able to hold conversations) and can fight properly, making them a much more useful ally in battle when summoned than lesser elementals, who can only lend you their power.

**Greater Fairies** are the highest stage of elemental that one is likely to ever see in their lifetime. They take on a much more humanoid appearance and have firmly established personalities. The power they wield is immense and usually well within the realm of Special A, making summoning one the most reliable option to fight Arch Daemons. The caveat to this power is that they're highly fickle beings who only lend their power to people who they find both exceptional and that they like on a more personal level. Gaining the support of a Greater Fairy, much less being able to summon one, is something that only happens on rare occasions and such people tend to go down in history as legendary heroes. At the farthest end of the elementals' normal evolutionary path are **Fairy Lords**, legendary beings that you're more likely to find in fairy tales rather than actual historical events. Fairy Lords are immensely strong beings comparable to Disaster-Class threats such as Arch Dragons and lend their power on extraordinarily rare occasions, usually only in the form of contracts made with the Left Hand Path rather than in summoned form.

### Archon

**Archons** (天使族(アルコン), *arukon*?) are a major race among Spiritual Lifeforms and are holy beings derived from Fairies. They have an advantage against Fairies but are disadvantaged against Djinns. A typical Archon is born with both intelligence and knowledge but lacks any sort of meaningful emotion and have a naturally weak ego. When incarnated it is possible for an Archon to develop a strong ego.

### Djinn

**Djinns** (悪魔族(ジン), *jin*?) are a major race of Spiritual Lifeforms and are magical beings derived from Fairies. They have an advantage against Archons but are disadvantaged against Fairies. They spontaneously come into being within the Daemon Realm, where they endlessly fight each other. At times they might be summoned into the Material World, where they require a Material Body to remain permanently or they will get ejected back into the Daemon Realm by the rejection force of the Material World.
