This is a world that is my own human had to abandon Earth to have a chance at survival when the demons came. We were despised for being "Bloodless" ones without a bloodline that grants strength or knowledge. This is the greatest flaw humanity is born with but also our greatest strength as we became equals in all things through sheer effort. The other races were always unimpressed due to the fact that we had a short lifespan and that our children didn't inherit our knowledge or skill most of the time. I am the progenitor of the new humanity I found a way to pass on our skills.
I became a Mind Flair a creature that could fest on the brains of others to gain knowledge. I edited the human body so much that we could pass on knowledge this way, but I couldn't find another way then this, so I altered myself. The pain is unbearable causing me to pass out within my lab. I wake up and realize that I can feel every cell within my body causing me slight constant pain. I begin to go over my body by looking at the mirror my age has reverted from an old scientist. I look like a young 18-year-old without acne and any sign of blemishes on my body my scars completely having disappeared.
I grew in height from 5'4 to 6'2 with a slightly toned body. My skull was slightly bigger than a normal human making me look slightly inhumane. I used the extrasensory organ in the brain I had made to detect the conditions of my whole altered body. The body was alright but there were some cellular problems that I had to quickly fix due to me being able to autonomously control every single cell if I wanted to or do it manually. I scanned my brain which was absorbing mana the energy which was brought to our world and naturally permeates every world we have been to since. The human race is now a group of wanders going planet to planet or wandering the dimensions rarely settling down.
Humans have also gotten know to be the most vengeful after we destroyed half the demon plane after they Fracked our home planet. The only reason it wasn't fully destroyed was that the demons decided to stop all their wars with EVERY race to push us out and that's how 63% of humanity was lost again. All other races now decided not to anger our communities, but they still mock us behind our backs quite constantly but now humanity shall rise or should I name this new race something else. The mind flair is what I based this new race off of from our fantasies before the invasion, but we have never found a race like that.
I began to calculate how much mana I could bring in using the technique my colleague had perfected before he had died due to the raids of other races on our research facilities. He had named the technique Abyss Devourer because the mana technique is based off the Stellar Devourers a creature that will eat blackholes for sustenance using mana to dominate the blackhole. Theoretically this technique is made to be combat based and give you high-quality mana from the start. I began to pull mana in activating the research stations propulsion and mana gathering devices making a mana rich environment. I noticed all these little problems with the technique in which the mana automatically collected in my mind due to my new race.
Mana will usually collect in the most natural place for each race and person enhancing their best attributes. It wouldn't decay their worst attributes, but humans could mostly decide where their core would be. I then detached a piece of flesh from my body and strangely enough it could continue to collect mana to survive without sustenance from the body amazing. I could be like the mind flairs from fairy tales maybe I can enhance my mind enough that it will be able to survive the vacuum of space.
"Warning Enemy Ship Approaching. Shall I engage Captain?" The AI I created says to me.
"You have Permission Alexa to use full powered mana cannons or torpedoes." I respond remembering the old times where Alexa was a home device for the Originals the ones who had lived on Earth.
I felt the battle through the slight movements and delay in mana through the circuits beneath my feet. I moved my brain outside my body which felt very strange and pleasing at the same time like I was finally free of the constrictions on my body. I should stay with a humanoid body because most races are humanoid it would be weird if that wasn't the case, but I could make my brain seem like a creature I created wait I am already automatically growing a new brain increasing my computation ability. This ability costs quite a lot of energy so I pull out a tube and stab it into my vein giving me all the required nutrients along with mana fed into my blood.
I begin to laugh as I put my original brain within one of the containers on the ship in a mana nutrient filled solution so it can grow at its own pace letting the natural process of this body take place. I then instruct the ship to go to GalIOunim XII a planet with a high number of human mercenaries. It takes approximately 4 days at triple the speed of light using mana Ion generators which isn't even the max speed my ship can reach. Using wormhole generators technically you could instantly travel anywhere but that comes at the cost of wormhole creatures which I could not handle in this ship.
