Races of the World

The world of Isekai Nonbiri Nouka has many different races of people reside on this world. Many whom do not get along, some that do. Like most living beings on the world, they can use magic. This article features brief descriptions of these people. Animals while not fully sapient are not listed in this unless shown to be sapient (thinking like a person).

## Humans

* **Humans**: Ordinary people of this world, those who couldn't adapt to the magical power that filled the world under construction due to the first failure of the god of magic. 1 in 10 people have a talent for magic, and 1 in 100 people can use magic. They have a bad habit of coming into conflict with other races and among themselves. They've been known to be at war with the Demon Kingdom.

* **Heroes/Braves**: Human beings blessed by the church through a contract. Their mission is to "defeat the demon king" and they have caused damage to the Demon Kingdom by supporting kingdoms at war with it or simply wreaking havoc on their own. Due to their contract, even if they die, their clothes and belongings will remain where they died, and they will be revived on the land where the contracted church is built with the memories and knowledge they had until shortly before their death. Since they act under the assumption that they will not die, most abuse their title and privileges, earning the people's hatred. They have a crest on the back of their hand as proof of their contract.

## Demi-Humans

* **Angels**: They are similar to *Humans* but can spread large feathered wings from their backs., they are few in number. They can use magic and were worshiped in the early days of civilization. They are mostly nomads, although they have a point of communication known as the *"Village of Angels"* located in the Kingdom of Garlet. They are a monogeneric race being only female, so they need to mate with males of other races, usually humans.

* **Beastmen**: These half-human, half fur-based animal, is breed humanoids whom reside in mountains. They're known for their metal wears and have lost wars against humans, reducing their numbers to few villages.

* **Centaurs**: Humanoid species which have the upper body of a human and lower half of a horse. They are good soldiers and strong enough carry human if they so desire too.

* **Demons**: Resemble *Humans* with no physical difference whatsoever, they can employ great deal of magic where humans cannot. These magics allow them to change their bodies and attain abilities Humans can not. However, they must learn to manage it to avoid inadvertent changes. It's suspected that *Humans* are degraded *Demons*.

* **Devils**: They are similar to humans but can spread large bat-like wings on their back. They can fly making use of their magical power. They are divided into 2 groups, the *Devils* that were at war with the *Angels* during the time they were worshiped and the *Higher/Ancient Devils* that are currently serving the dragons after Guchi, their leader, lost to the *Dragon Emperor* Doosu.

* **Dragons**: Giant creatures with horns, wings, and a tail. They are a symbol of power and awe. They can take a human form, but young individuals cannot become fully human, leaving large horns and tails on display. The scales that shed periodically are light and strong, and are used to craft high-level weapons and armor. Also, because they are extremely difficult to obtain, they trade at a high price, and even a small scale is worth enough to build a mansion in the Demon Kingdom's capital. When conceiving in their dragon form they lay eggs, but if they conceive in human form, they become viviparous, and are unable to transform into a dragon until after birth. Also, since they often develop a bad temper during pregnancy, it is customary to attach an escort from the same dragon tribe to protect the surroundings from harm.

* **Elves**: Pointy eared human-like people, noted for their beauty and their keen minds. There are different types of these human like people, *High Elves*, *Elves*, and *Mountain Elves*. Among them, the *High Elves* numbers have dwindled to few, only females survive among after series wars 200 year prior to arriving at Hiraku Machio's farm. Most if not all of their men and children were lost. Like the High Elves, the dark skined Mountain Elves also lost their male population. Typically living in the highland such as Mountains. A tribe of them would move to to Taiju Village at direction of Empress Dragon, Raimeiren.

* **Harpies**: A humanoid race with wings for arms. Since they prefer to live in groups, it is difficult for them to express their individuality and they do not usually use names. They do not use beds or futons to sleep on, perching on tree branches like birds, or building nests and sleeping on top of them. Like the *Lizardmen*, they are oviparous and many of them work as servants for *Angels* who value purity.

* **Lamias**: These are half female human (upper part) and snake-like lizard (lower parts). Female only race, these beings are powerful and live underground. 50 such Lamias live in Dungeon south of the Hiraku Machio's farm, whom was granted the tribe control of it in exchange carrying goods through Forest of Death. Due establishing a friendly relationship with Taiju Village, the lamias agree to were tops to covering their breasts; partly misunderstanding the wolves investigating their cave was a form of warning them against indecency.

* **Lizard Men**: This is a humanoid type race of people who have scales normal lizards, but muscularly similar to humans but stronger. They're intelligent and have both female & male sexes. However, one misnomer of them is that you can't tell a female from a male. They have an affinity for water magic and it is said that their combat power rivals that of 10 humans. They are oviparous, the eggs are laid underwater and the parents take turns guarding them until they hatch to ward off predators. Hatching takes place before winter and the newly hatched begin to swim as their bodies mature at rapid pace. Due to the difference in breeding methods, it is impossible to interbreed with other races, so many of them work as servants for *Angels* who value purity.

* **Minotaurs**: Race of large humanoids which mainly resemble humans and bull horns protruding from their heads. Unlike Minotaurs of legend, the Minotaurs are peaceful people appear to thin and weak unlike those who do have specialized in war. They measure approximately 2 to 3 meters and those who specialize in combat are decided upon at birth, but will be revealed after they grow to a certain point.

* **Nyunyu Daphne**: They are plant-based humanoids which appear change from a human female and change to small talking tree stumps whom originated from east of Howling Village. They are similar to Dryads, however the Nyunyu Daphne in stump form required to be rooted in soil to feed as well access to sunlight. They use stump since they are ignored, while as full trees they are treated more harshly as trees. They heal faster and resistant to pain while as a tree stump form. They are good with magic.

* **Oni**: These are human like beings, with horns of various variety and number on their heads. Oni are good with Fire and water magic. As children, Oni appear as humans without horns, only when they get older they gain them.

* **Titans/Giants:** As its name indicates, it is a race with a giant body of 3 to 5 meters. His personality is very gentle and kind. They live in the northern dungeon and feed mainly on *Bloody Viper* hatchlings. They grow hair all over their bodies to protect themselves when swallowed by a bloody viper.

* **Vampires**: A race that can absorb magical power from the blood of other creatures. Unlike the myth, they can stay outdoors during the day with little issue. They are immortal, but since their body is made of magic power, they disappear when the magic power in their body is completely depleted. They can use magic, and they also have physical characteristics such as being able to extend and retract their fangs and to see at night. When they are young they tend to behave like a *Chūnibyō*. They normally increase their numbers through the act of "blood contract", although they can also have children by conventional means.

## Sapient Animals

* **Demon Spiders**: Resembling large spiders, very wide and powerful with magic and intelligence. They can reproduced rapidly once mature without a mate. They start out like tiny ordinary spiders, however they grow in their youth from their tiny forms and eventually as they become adults they become larger. They can weave webs and can make clothing and other furniture for other races as means of trade. In combat, as young adults they can use their webs as projectiles not unlike spears and move at high speeds against an opponent. If injured, they can regenerate their legs should they be cut off.

* **Arachne**: It is an evolutionary branch of *Demon Spiders*, they have a spider body and a human torso instead of a head. They live in dungeons and although they are born with a "human body" they must learn to speak.

* **Inferno Wolves**: Residing in the Forest of Death, Inferno Wolves are beings whom resemble large wolves with blackened fur, and sometimes mistaken as "domesticated dogs" without their signature horns. Inferno Wolves are implied to be somewhat resilient to magic, and are capable of dodging spells. They are strong beings, whom can run down and pounce enemies, and are able to handle most hostile creatures including *Vampires* and *Angels*. They are also capable of channeling magic through their horn, and have the ability to enlarge their bodies and cast fire from their mouths during combat. Inferno Wolves are shown to be highly intelligent, and are able to play games such as chess and outwit many other humanoid races. After their encounter with Hiraku, Kuro and Yuki adopted domestic behaviors, which were passed on to their offspring.

* **Cocytus Wolves**: Evolutionary branch of the Inferno Wolf, they are differentiated by their white fur and their magical affinity is with ice instead of fire. Except for those differences, they have the same power and intelligence as a inferno wolf.
