Races

## **Humans**

"Zac already knew that humans were one of the most populous races in the multiverse, but yet it was a bit mindblowing to see all these humans who were probably from all corners of the universe." - **Chapter 384.**

"Humans were quite weak, usually at the bottom of the rung. But they were extremely numerous, and out of every billion of them, a powerhouse might rise. Other races had huge advantages, sometimes even becoming C-Ranking Class upon adulthood by default. But these kinds of races were always far scarcer in numbers." -**Chapter 206.**

"Some races have extremely high affinities with certain Daos, essentially turning their whole population in a certain direction of cultivation. But many races, like us humans, don’t have any racial affinity" - **Chapter 283.**

"Mixing an ordinary Human bloodline with the blood of higher beings was nothing unusual, as humans in general were extraordinarily average." **Chapter 442**

It was most likely one of the demi-human races of the multiverse. Humans were just too prolific, after all, and they had proven very compatible for procreation with most humanoid species. They were like blank canvases, and there were very few humanoids that didn’t have a little bit of human in their genome.

What was human and what wasn’t had already become blurred, but people essentially went by the race in the status screen, which was dictated by the dominant heritage. This was rarely the human side, especially not when matched against powerful races. **Chapter 550**

## **Demonkin**

"Do you know how Demon society works?” he asked.

“Isn’t it a feudal society? Your former clan controls a certain area, but you are part of a larger kingdom. That kingdom ultimately reports to the planet’s leader, though they are largely independent,” Zac asked with some confusion.

“That’s true for our planet, but our planet is just a backwater member of something larger,” Harvath said.

“The Azh’Kir’Khat Horde?” Zac ventured, remembering Verana mentioning the odd name.

“Exactly,” Harvath nodded. “I am not too sure about all the details since clan Azh’Rezak was the lowest rung of what could be called a noble clan, and our information was somewhat limited. But the horde consists of hundreds of demonic species.”

Zac nodded, still not sure what he was getting at.

“The position of the races in the horde depends on their respective powerhouses at the top. The Abyssal Demons has a terrifying leader who controls one of the top ten clans, making them one of the most prominent demonic species in the horde." - **Chapter 329.**

### KNOWN SUBSPECIES:

#### **Abyssal Demons**

"Do these demons look like us?” Harvath asked, pointing at his face.

“N-No, not really,” Smaug stammered. “Well,they have horns, but I am told that they look a lot bulkier, and don’t have hair?”

“Big black horns?” Harvath probed, “And they are over two meters tall?”

“Yes!” Smaug hurriedly nodded. "And tails."

“Abyssal Demons,” **- Chapter 328.**

## **Sky Gnomes**

"Manning the disk were a few humanoids that somewhat reminded Zac of gnomes. They were less than a meter tall but didn’t have the stockiness, or beardiness, of dwarves. Their skin was also light blue and they had deep sapphire-colored eyes, with pointed ears like elves. Perhaps they were genies?

Before Zac and Ogras could approach the clerks another genie came running toward the two. He looked much like the others, with the blue skin and no hair. He wore what looked like an old-fashioned suit, and had an ascot tied around his neck." - **Chapter 76.**

The Thayer Consortia are Sky Gnomes.

## **Tal-Eladar**

The Tal-Eladar wasn't truly elves, but Marshall clan informally called them that due to their appearance. They had long pointed ears that slightly drooped at their tip and lithe frames, which brought to mind elves from fantasy stories. However, there were some differences between elves and the humanoids in the incursion.

First of all their eyes looked a bit creepy according to the report, and a comment likened them to goat's eyes, with oblong horizontal pupils and no sclera. Their teeth were also sharp, meaning they didn't live on morning dew and fruits like elves in the stories did.

## **Undead**

The childrens of Miasma.

"One popular theory was that the undead races were created by one single powerhouse, someone at the level of Emperor Limitless. He would probably have become an Apostate if he appeared in this era, but this all happened before the System arrived as the undead existed even before the System." - **Chapter 432.**

#### **Founders**

"These founders might be the descendants of this grand ancestor, and if that was the case it wasn’t surprising they would be considered the greatest undead race." - **Chapter 432**

#### **Draugr**

"The Draugr could be considered the jack-of-all-trades of the five noble races. Their bodies weren’t as excellent as the Izh’Rak Reavers, and their affinity with miasma wasn’t as great as the Eidolon. But they still excelled on both those subjects, making them excellent all-rounders." - **Chapter 432.**

#### **The Eternal Clan**

"The Eternal Clan followed the Sanguine Path as Eldar called it, and it even seemed to be some confusion whether the members were really undead or not. Some believed they were rather a closely allied race that had decided to join the undead for some reason." - **Chapter 432.**

#### **Izh’Rak Reavers**

"Their bodies are the strongest of all undead races, without being burdened with any of the demerits the Corpselords have." - **Chapter 432.**

#### **Eidolon**

"Then there is the Eidolon, the leaders of the specters. They are the only spectral race that is born that way, never having shed their physical form through the ritual. Most believe their control over miasma is second only to the Founders.” - **Chapter 432.**

**Other Undead Races**

## **Beastkin**

Generic name referring to the large number of humanoid species with traits of some beast. The species of beastkin / beastmen come in all kinds of sizes and shapes, as we could see in the Tower.

"Zac followed Ogras’ gaze and saw a scene where three burly beastkin cultivators seemingly had bumped into a group of hooded beings that were shorter than a meter in height.

“Look where you walk you little shits,” one of the beastmen growled as it threw a forceful kick. “You puny things should scurry in the sewers like the other rats.”

Zac could sense that the power of the beastman wasn’t too bad, and his kick was even imbued with some Dao seed that was at least middle stage. But the kick was forcibly stopped by the small hand of the leading hooded cultivator.

The beastman seemed shocked how effortlessly the little cultivator stopped his kick, and he hurriedly took out a large axe with some fear in his eyes. However, before he even had time to swing the group of hooded cultivators disappeared, only to reappear again at the same spot a second later. As for the three beastmen; they stood frozen for a second before their bodies started to fall apart into neatly separated chunks.

Zac looked at the beastmen, knowing they were deader than dead. He had barely been able to see what the hooded creatures did, but he realized they were actually some sort of small beastkin that all focused on Dexterity. They hadn’t used weapon when dissecting their bulkier brethren, but rather a set of sharp claws on their furry hands." - **Chapter 385.**

### KNOWN SUBSPECIES:

#### **Ishiate**

"The humanoids that closed in on him made him think that they were a mix of humans and animals. They seemed to have normal hands and feet, but they also possessed clear animalistic features.

They wore simple but seemingly high-quality gear, and carried various weapons, mostly spears and bows. Most of their exposed skin was covered in a brown or white fur, sometimes mottled with spots. They had large black eyes, and a normal face and a mouth. Their ears somewhat resembled those of an elf’s though. His assessment was that these beings were a seventy-thirty mix of a human and a fawn.

They didn’t look frail though, as even the fur couldn’t hide their sturdy frames and muscles." - **Chapter 95.**

#### **Molekin**

Name clarified in **Author Commentary - The Road Not Taken**

".... extremely pale humanoids that reached roughly to Zac’s chest.

His best guess was that these things were Ratmen going by their hunched over posture and long tails, but they didn’t exactly match the descriptions he heard from the Valkyries about their battles at the Ratmen Incursion. They had more human-like features, and they seemed to be completely hairless." - **Chapter 227.**

## **Stargazers**

In front of him was a floating eye, larger than his torso. At least he assumed it was an eye. It looked as though a part of the cosmos had been taken and put into an eyeball. The pupil was a black hole, seemingly sucking Zac’s soul in as he was looking at it. The monster had no iris, but rather a slowly rotating cosmic cloud, looking like it was slowly being absorbed into the pupil in the middle.

The sclera was not white as with a human, but a black studded with shining lights. It looked like the stars in the night sky. Surrounding the eye was a purplish-tinted skin and eyelid. It however had no mouth, making Zac confused how it could make any sounds. - **Chapter 8.**

"There were also a couple of Stargazers as well, and when Zac accidentally looked into their cosmic eye he couldn’t help but twitch a bit as his mind got a small shock.

He remembered that these guys almost always used mental classes, and just looking into one's eye was to ask for trouble even if they weren't hostile. Abby was different since she was an administrator without any combat capabilities." - **Chapter 384.**

## **Golemoids**

A set of races, some of natural origin and others of artificial origin that are characterized by their non-biological bodies, a clear predisposition towards an element and a peculiar way of thinking.

"Golems don’t think like us. They generally don’t have emotions, and concepts like honor or revenge are foreign to them. They likely made a calculation that the risks of staying outweighed the potential reward, and immediately left,” **Chapter 372.**

### KNOWN SUBSPECIES:

#### **Iliex (Creators)**

"The Iliex is a race of living golems who are among the greatest builders in the multi-verse. Most just call them Creators, since that’s pretty much all they do." - **Chapter 69**.

"...some stone furniture a huge counter was placed in the middle, and behind it stood a statue of a humanoid. It had no facial features and its face was instead covered in a large fractal in the computer font. It was dressed in a simple silver-colored robe, and looked somewhat human apart from the fact it had a few extra fingers on each of its hands. All in all, it looked like a robot statue carved out of soapstone or onyx." - **Chapter 71.**

**Furem Harq Clan**

The golems who run the Furem Harq Merit Exchange.

"It looked quite different compared to the Creators. Rahm had looked like a faceless statue before he changed into a human shape, but the golem in front of him was a different breed.

It seemed to be created by liquid metal, forming smooth outlines that changed as the golem moved. Interestingly enough its various body parts didn’t actually connect, but were somehow held together through some invisible power.

It also had a humanoid face, though it was slightly jarring to speak to a head floating on top of the torso." **- Chapter 194**

#### **Gemlings**

A race of golemoids who live in the Earth Mystic Realm.

#### **Fire Golems**

"They all possess fire-related classes and were comfortable living underground." **- Chapter 253.**

"His hunch proved spot on because the large boulder suddenly burst into flames as it transformed into an enormous amalgamation of fire and rock. The stone split into around twenty pieces that made up its body and limbs.

The golem reached over five meters in the air, and the air for tens of meters around it shuddered from the heat and power it radiated. Lava seeped out between the cracks in the stone, and it slowly dripped on the ground. Mysterious fractals also appeared on the stones and the inscriptions shone with a red glimmer that contained obvious power.

“This one is way bigger than the ones we’ve encountered, and the normal ones aren’t covered in fractals.

”It’s a common cultivation method for golems,” Verana said. “They inscribe their bodies with Cosmic Pathways to allow energy to flow more naturally.” - **Chapter 371.**

#### **Yrd Stonemen**

"They are either a golem species or something rock-related. It was hard to tell. They’re completely pitch black and gave off cold auras. They seem to follow a heritage of rock and ice." **- Chapter 151.**

## **Insectoids**

"Insectoid populations are usually quite strong in the multi-verse. They have high reproduction rates and high average powers. The queens of the higher species are extremely feared, being able to channel their whole hive’s power into devastating attacks,” - **Chapter 123.**

"Nasty things, that species. Not something we’ve met or heard about before. However, insectoid species are usually the same. There generally is a queen in command, holding absolute power,” he answered." - **Chapter 123.**

"Besides, some insectoid species were extremely invasive as well, just like the Ayr Hivebeasts. Given enough time they would swallow a whole world, and Zac knew there were many more species like it." - **Chapter 431.**

### KNOWN SUBSPECIES:

#### **Zhix**

"Their faces were mostly human, apart from their noses that were mostly two holes and a slight protuberance. The same could be said about their ears, almost looking like the cauliflower ears of professional wrestlers. Their eyes were almost human, though a bit larger and their irises were purple.

All in all their faces could have passed as ugly humans if it wasn’t for the two antennae on their heads and the fact that their skin was tinged a bit purple. Their skin was quite hard as well, but not to the point of being a chitinous exoskeleton of the Ayr Ants back on his own island.

They also had four normal appendages and even wore clothes." - **Chapter 124.**
