​

Human: Just like humans in real life.


Spirit:  Spirits are beings who form contracts with others to protect them under certain conditions. There are three different classes of Spirits; Minute Spirits, Quasi Spirits, and Spirits. There are also man made Spirits known as Artificial Spirits which were created by the witch of greed. Artificial spirits often have very low mana consumption rates, so they draw mana from their contract bearers. Unlike magic users, spirit users gather mana from outside their body, and use a different type of magic known as spirit magic.


Elf: Elves are a race of Demi Humans known for their longevity and beauty. Because of the Witch of Envy, Elves were also the target of prejudice from others. This prejudice is also extended somewhat to other Demi Humans, such as Giants and Oni. Almost all Elves are currently frozen in Elior Forest.


Giant: Giants are a Demi Human race of massive people with tremendous strength. They fought in various places during wartime and because of that their numbers had dwindled.


Oni: The Oni are a strong race of Demi Humans known for their strong bodies and mana quality. Despite their strength, they are generally a peaceful race, and tend to live in villages in the mountains away from others. Most Oni have two horns, however those with one or no horns are known as Hornless, and any Oni born with one horn are killed soon after birth. The Oni are nearly extinct, and their demise was because of natural selection, as they refused to accept new ideas, and not because of discrimination or prejudice.


Vampire:  Vampires have similar appearances to humans, but have abnormally high regeneration rates. Unlike the vampires in real life mythology, they don't suck blood nor burn in the sunlight.


Beast Human: Creatures who have a combination of humanoid and beastly features.


Halves: Races that are mixed together. They are often discriminated.


Elves, Giants, and Oni are very rare to see nowadays because of the Demi Human War, a war that lasted for ten years roughly 50 to 40 years earlier. Due to the actions of the Witch of Envy, Half Elves and other half races were considered to be heretical, with the prejudice extending to Demi Humans themselves. Amidst all of that, a Demi Human village was involved in a conflict with a Human village, and at a peace conference those sent from the castle were assassinated, leading both sides to claim that it was the other side's fault. The conflict eventually grew until it spread across Lugnica, lasting until the Demi Humans admitted that it wouldn't benefit anyone to keep on fighting, though they still claimed not to be responsible for the assassination. The decision to end the war was considered to have brought about by the Sword Saint's actions. Damage from the war existed deep within people and people still harbor prejudice against half races even if it isn't spoken aloud.
