In the original timeline, humans won the war over 100 years ago. In the reincarnation timeline, the war was only 30+ years ago, and humanity lost and retreated underground.
  • Heroes (S1E1): It is noted each group had a hero. Humans have Prophet Sid, Dark Empress Vanessa led the demons, Heavenly Lord Alfreya led the Celestials, Rikugen Kyoko was the sovereign of spirits, and the Mythical Beasts’ hero was the Fang King Rath=IE.

Noteworthy Information

• Humans Using Other Races Items (1.3): When humans use items from other races, like Elven or Angelic items that contain magic, it chips away at their health.
• Enemies (1.6): Celestials and Demons are enemies, as are spirits and mythical beasts; humans are of non-consequence, which makes all four races the enemies of humans.
