*Feel free to skip this chapter if you only want to get the story. This chapter is purely about the details and rules of the universe. Enjoy!
*That being said I put a lot of effort to put together this explanation of all races so please read some sections if you can. Thanks!

--All races have a purer bloodline and a weaker bloodline. The stronger the bloodline the better the special effects it has. (Ex: (Strong Bloodline-> +10,000 Strength) (Weak Bloodline-> +100 Strength)) If a Hybrid race has 'Demi' in their name, it signifies a part-dragon race.
--Beastman- All Beastman have a humanoid shape with animal features. They are the most diverse race whose appearance can range from a bird to a tiger. Originally the name Beastman covered both Elves and Dwarves, but the gods of either race disliked each other and had enough differences to claim they were entirely separate to the point of starting a war. The Elves and Dwarves do not get the beast race's main strength buff making an even better excuse. Other beast races have thought of doing the same, but have not gotten enough subspecies to get good enough reasons. The main feature of the beast races is the strength increase all races have.
[(Main race -> ???) -> (Subrace -> Eagle, Tiger, Shark, Bear, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> White tiger, Sky Eagle, Blood Shark, Mountain Bear, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Water Bear, Earth Eagle, Plant Tiger, Fire Shark, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> None; All are considered part of the subspecies]
--Elves - All Elves look similar to humans but are far taller and have great magic potential. Originally part of the Beastman race, but due to internal conflicts and differences, the Elves obtained their freedom to create the Elves race. They try to avoid conflict at all costs and this fact alone led the race to fight against the Beast race since they are more on the violent side of things.
Elves were created when a Spirit went insane and made a tree merge with several humanoid Forest Spirits. The spirit then used its' own body as the final catalyst to make the tree into something special. The tree that had just been born lived unnoticed for several years before deciding to create a family using its' leaves for the Elves' bodies and its' trunk as the power to nourish the Elves with life power. The main feature of Elves is good magic potential without sacrificing basic strength.
[(Main race -> Life Elves) -> (Subrace -> Forest Elves, Glacial Elves, Volcanic Elves, Elemental Elves, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Desert Elves, Swamp Elves, Tree Elves, Vine Elves, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Fire Elves, Water Elves, Earth elves, Sand Elves, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> Proto-Humans, Spirit Elves, Druids, Blood Elves, etc.]
--Dwarves - All Dwarves look similar to humans but are far shorter and luckier. Originally part of the Beastman race, but due to internal conflicts and differences, the Dwarves fought and won mostly due to their luck. They have become famous for being difficult to deal with since they don't like to talk and when fighting they luck out on random hits making even the worst fighter among them become decent. Their courage is also another main point making the Dwarves harder opponents who don't back down just like the Undead. The main feature of Dwarves is their luck.
[(Main race -> Planet Dwarves) -> (Subrace -> Earth Dwarves, Metal Dwarves, Stone Dwarves, Molten Dwarves, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Dirt Dwarves, Fire Dwarves, Sand Dwarves, Gravel Dwarves, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Plant Dwarves, Water Dwarves, Dark Dwarves, Light Dwarves, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> Mana Dwarves, Blood Dwarves, Proto-Humans, Demi-Dwarves, etc.]
--Demons - Demons are a mythical race that sole purpose is to cause others pain while making sure they bring themselves and close friends up with them. Of course, if needed close friends will be sacrificed. They are a special race that has three different Main races to signify the three great branches of demons and their main traits mainly, Bloodthirsty, Evil, and Sin. Demons are also similar to the Beastman race being extremely diverse. Demons have a special race that has control over the power of light and is hunted down in its' own race as well as other places that see it as just a devil. The main feature of Demons is their Power output.
[(Main race -> Blood Demons, Evil Demons, Sin Demons) -> (Subrace -> Wrath Demons, Control Demons, Plague Demons, The Fallen, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Frost Demons, Lava Demons, Omen Demons, Great Devils, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Diseased Demon, Devil Imps, Lust Demons, Blood Devils, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> Humans and Demonic Angels; All others are considered subspecies.]
--Angels- Angels are the purest race and do their best to make sure it stays that way. The Angel race has a system that allows them to grow more wings as a sign of power and position. They are the major force against Demons and they make it their motto to, 'Kill All Evil' which also leads them to hunt their own Fallen Angels. They are the one race with the least amount of variation from the hybrids as a result of testing by demons or outcasts of their race. It is believed a hybrid appeared in the Spirit race that had so many features of the Spirit race that it wasn't even considered to be a hybrid by the Angels. All hybrids are hunted if discovered. The main feature of Angels is their healing factor.
[(Main race -> Holy Angels) -> (Subrace -> Elemental Angels, Fallen Angels) -> (Subgenus -> Fire Angels, Water Angels, Wind Angels, Earth Angels, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> None)]
[Hybrids -> Demonic Angels and Blood Angels; All others are killed before becoming a true race and part of the Angel hybrids.]
--Dragons- Dragons are special beings that have some species that are friends with all other races. They are also very powerful and so stay impartial to all races and like to believe themselves above all others and so should not even need to interact with them. They are also the main contributors to the creation of the Beastman race. The only enemy the Dragons have is the Undead who annoy them greatly and are the only ones that make them leave their quiet caves to attack. The main feature of Dragons is the powerful statistic increase all around with the downside of not being able to breed very often.
[(Main race -> Titan Dragons) -> (Subrace -> Elemental Dragons, Golden Dragons, Life Dragons, Death Dragons, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Dark Dragons, Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon, Light Dragon, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Draconic Boars, Draconic Bears, Draconic Eagles, Draconic Tigers, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> Demi-Dwarfs, Demi-Elfs, Demi-Human, Demi-Boars, etc.]
--Undead- Undead never tire, never thirst, never sleep, never stop working. Even if you are dead doesn't mean you can't help out. The Undead have great increases in all attributes even more than Dragons, but they can't breed at all and must be reborn through the power of death. They also lose some intelligence through the transformation. Originally the Undead were a test for Demon's power over darkness. The Undead were completely subservient to their creators until one day they created something too powerful to control.
[(Main race -> The Herald) -> (Subrace -> Lich, Skeleton Archmage, Kings of Death, Death Lords, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Death Knights, Skeleton Fire Mage, Barbarian Skeletal Warrior, Skeleton Ice Mage, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Archers, Skeleton Bomb, Zombie, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> None; All attempts to create Hybrids turn all entities into part of the Undead race.]
--Titans- Titans are a giant race the size of dragons or even bigger. They are the original species that most species branch off from. The only races that don't branch off from them are the Demons and Angels. They like to be neutral as a whole, but there are some that are specifically evil and some that are specifically good. Still, they all prefer to stay out of all matters and just sleep accumulating mana. The specialty of Titans is their large amount of mana and Strength.
[(Main race -> Mother Planet) -> (Subrace -> Mountain Earth Titan, Volcanic Titan, Mountain of Death, Life Titan, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Walking Mountain, Forest Titans, Mountain of Flesh, Abyss Mountain, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Tree Ents, Stony Giant, Glowing Giant, Giant of Darkness, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> None; All hybrids have turned into their own race or have become part of the Fae race.]
--Fae- Fae are a diverse race that includes all intelligent species of nature. Born of the Titans they have great mana control and great mana manipulation. They have lost all strength of the Titans, but have gained control instead. They are also the main race that contributed the most to the creation of the Beastman races. The main specialty of the Fae is their large amount of mana and control over that mana.
[(Main race -> Mother Spirits) -> (Subrace -> Ocean Spirit, Earth Spirit, Soul Spirit, Forest Spirit, etc.) -> (Subgenus -> Lake Spirit, Mind Spirit, Vitality Spirit, Tree Spirit, etc.) -> (Subspecies -> Gnomes, Fairys, Trikets, Wisps, etc.)]
[Hybrids -> Spirit Bear, Spirit Falcon, Spirit Deer, Spirit Boar, etc.]
--Humans- They are the most populated species in the universe despite most races either, consider them to be livestock or a bad example of a hybrid race. Humans have a unique talent where they don't have a specific talent that stands out in the race as a whole, instead, Humans are born with talents at random. Some Humans can become great mages while others can become great warriors.
The original creation of the race was when an Elf and a Dwarf ran away to a corner where no one would notice them and created a Proto-Human together. The couple was a bit too close to a Demon base that found the couple and found the situation hilarious. To show their cruelty in a funny way they had a Devil Imp rape the child until a new species was born, Humans. The Demons of course then ate the newborn right in front of the raped child to add cruelty. The Demons then discovered Humans tasted even better than most races they had eaten.
The Demons then made an attempt to breed the newly created Human race. The Demons saw Humanity as nothing more than tasty livestock. Just like how the Europeans released pigs into the Americas for their future generations to have food, Demons left a batch of 1,000 to 5,000 humans on each planet they stepped on. Just like the pigs the Europeans released, Humans soon became a danger and a powerful race that Demons even considered to be a Pest.
[There is no main race as all Humans are just one race without any real subspecies or subgenus.]

*This section will be told in the story as it goes on and I would prefer if you skipped this section. If you don't care about spoiling the direction of the story then feel free to read. Enjoy!
--Planes- The universe is shattered into several planes with several continents that are one large plane that has several smaller shattered planes surrounding it. There are thousands of these 'Planetary Planes' with millions of shattered 'Continental Planes' that are still decently big. Farther away there is the Void ocean with Trillions of 'Shattered Island Planes'.
--Lords- There are Trillions of these Lords who have gained some power to create. The main power of the Lords is the ability to have access to the 'System'. Humanity was far too populated so some Human Lords transformed into different races through their beliefs and personality. Some specific Lords have also gained their race's god's approval and have become a 'Saint' of the race with a great boost to power or a special effect on all their actions.
--System- The System implemented into the universe is able to control and create all power. It doesn't have a main goal and even the Gods themselves have very minimal control over the System. Its' main use is to connect all Lords together and make sure the universe stays working as intended.
--Creation Myth- There were once three races. Titans as the Neutral race. Demons as the Evil race. Angels as the Good race. Within the Titans were two different giant races, Titan Dragons, and Mother Planets.
The Dragons viewed how different they were from their sister race and split off to make an entirely separate Dragon race. Titans then gave birth to a creature of pure mana that lost their connection with the earth that all Titans used as the base of their strength, they then became the mother of the Fae race.
Demons who liked to make new species of themselves even if they were weak experimented with all races even the beasts that didn't have any power or strength. Soon after years of experiments, the Beastman race became big enough and strong enough to completely separate from the Demons by working together.

*I don't think anything else matters since it will be explained during the first chapter, so Please enjoy reading!
*Also, "No one is special when everyone is special." this is the main idea in the story.
