Races

There are a variety of races exist in the Six-Faced World, the setting where Mushoku Tensei takes place. After the fall of the other five worlds, all the survivors fled to the Human World and settled in their suitable habitats. In this manner, the Human World is now populated by multiple Races.

Human
Humans (人族, Jinzoku) are the most dominant race in the world. Similar to humans on earth, the human race in the Human World have relatively weak physique, short lifespan and high intelligence such that most innovations in the world are the work of humans. They are the majority race in the Central Continent, Begaritt Continent and Millis Continent. Humans on the Central Continent and Millis Continent speaks Human Tongue with slightly differing accents, whereas humans on Begaritt Continent speaks Fighting God tongue.

Most of the important characters in series are humans. See list of human characters: Category:Human

Elf
Elves (長耳族エルフ, Erufu, lit. "Long Ear Tribe") are a race of people who currently live in the northern part of the Millis Continent. They are sometimes classified as demon race, but it was possible that they are new species that developed during the Chaotic Period. As their name implies, their most prominent physical characteristic is their long and pointy ears, which provides them with very good hearing ability. Other than that, they usually have a slim body, whereas female elves tend to be flat-chested. Their fertility is rather low, but they have very long lifespans, capable of staying in their prime for hundreds of years. They also have a very good sense of direction, able to navigate effortlessly even in difficult terrains like the Great Forest and deserts.

It is said that magic was originally created by the High Elves, the ancestors of Elves. Long before even the Great Human-Demon War, when the world was engulfed in the unceasing spiral of battle and chaos, the High Elves, in order to fight their enemies, entreated with the spirits of the forests to control the wind and the earth. And thus, the first magic spells were born.
