things, while Diablos tend not to have much interest in such Infusions, Diablos can exhibit a wide variety of
things and tend not to show respect. individualities.
They believe that strength is everything and victory is
what they seek, and they tend not to neglect efforts and
ingenuity for that purpose. Therefore, as individuals, they
are enthusiastic about mastering martial arts, and in the
military, they spare no effort in studying tactics and
strategies.
From such values, many Diablos have a particular
interest in weapons. They have no aesthetic or artistic
interest but seek only power and functionality and may
collect weapons.
Also, some Diablos excel in singing and dancing, which
derive from martial arts training. It is not due to instinct or
art but tends to be refined by proper procedure and training,
and perfection is valued more than improvisation.
Surprisingly, they also have a fondness for games and
gambling. Games are considered to be entertainment
derived from the process of simulating war, and gambling
seems to be rooted in the intention of learning about the
unpredictability of the battlefield.

Place in the Society

In the Barbarous society, Diablos is positioned in the
Upper Barbarous. Among the lower Youma Barbarous,
Goblins and Bolgs will almost unconditionally bow their
heads and will not think about resisting. It's not uncommon
for Trolls and Ogres to obey.
Diablos on the Alframe continent is indeed a symbol of
military power and overwhelming warriors. There are
hardly any Barbarous that would oppose Diablos, excluding
other Upper Barbarous. They sometimes form their own
Barbarous territories, and in that case, they reign as kings.
The perception that Diablos are terrifying does not
change even in Humanoid society. It is similar to Drakes in
plotting conspiracies and starting wars to expand their
power, but the existence of greedy Diablos who win is a
threat in itself. Those who strongly influence the
surrounding Humanoid states are called "Daemon Lords"
and are particularly feared.

Racial Characteristics
As for the tendency of the ability scores, Diablos have a
high aptitude for mastering Warrior-Type Classes, excelling
in dexterity, agility, strength, and vitality. They can fly at no
cost, so they can gain an advantage in close combat, and
their options for exploration and movement also expand.
The ability to transform into a huge Daemon form can
also be a powerful trump card, but at the same time, there
is a risk of armor breaking (they can avoid this with
Denudation (see p. 69)), so it matches better with the Battle
Dancer class or the Grappler class than the Fighter.
Since neither intelligence nor spirit is particularly low, it
is also possible to aim to be a magic warrior. By expanding
the Heritor class, Diablos can learn a large number of
aggressive unique skills such as Infusion, enabling various
strategies. Among the Infusions learned in Heritor, there
are also [Heritor’s Eyes], which can gain initiative and

are strong, and they do not forgive enemies who harm
parents, children, or siblings.
Furthermore, the roles of male and female Drakes
hardly change; if strong, even a female can reign as a ruler.
This is largely due to the fact that Drakes are oviparous, and
the ruler can delegate all child-rearing to their subordinates.
In addition, Drakes earn titles such as "Baron",
"Viscount", "Count", "Marquis", and "Duke" according to
their strength. The Drakes who once led the Barbarous
armies in the "Diabolic Triumph" claimed the title of Duke,
but they fell one after another in battle, and it is now rare to
even see Drakes bearing the name of a Marquis, let alone a
Duke.
It is said that there existed a being called the Barbarous
Emperor, who ruled over multiple Barbarous Kings, and
that this individual bore the title of "Lord".

Place in the Society

As mentioned earlier, Drakes are positioned as the
aristocratic class at the top of the Barbarous society. This is
backed by their strength, and therefore, Youma such as
Goblins and Bolgs bow their heads and submit just by seeing
Drakes.
Therefore, it is natural for Drakes to have a large
number of followers whom they treat like pawns. The
Youma are imprinted with their subjugation to Drakes at the
soul level and do not resist (of course, there are those who
run away).

Place in the Society

In Barbarous society, Basilisks are seen more as
capricious, self-centered, and difficult-to-handle nobles than
rulers.
Basilisks are hedonistic and self-centered, with a
tendency to act impulsively. Even for the Barbarous, who
are far from orderly, their actions are unpredictable and
often carry out unreasonable orders, making them seem like
natural disasters.
However, since Basilisks are far from diligent, they do
not move frequently. Therefore, other Upper Barbarous
generally ignore Basilisks. Their high combat power and
brutal abilities are well known, but they do not seem to
actively partner with them because Basilisks often disrupt
plans with their whims.
For Humanoids, Basilisks are not often encountered,
and they do not have as good a reputation as Drakes or
Diablos. However, their danger and fear are well known and
feared. If there are frequent incidents of artists and works of
art being stolen, it is sometimes suspected that a capricious
plot of Basilisks is lurking behind them.
Among Humanoid merchants, there are those who
engage in illegal transactions (selling stolen goods and
human trafficking) with Basilisks. Basilisks are not
particularly aggressive towards Humanoids and recognize
their usefulness, so trade and cooperation are not
impossible. However, it goes without saying that dealing with
a capricious Basilisk is always a matter of life and death.

Trolls, training the body is a part of life, and polishing skills
can be said to be the greatest pleasure.
Trolls start training for battle from the time a child can
stand on their own, giving them weapons. It is the mother's
role to guide them in early childhood, and when the basics
are established, they are handed over to the father.
The common value in a Barbarous society is the survival
of the fittest and the idea that strength is justice. Therefore,
there is not much distinction or discrimination by birth, but
female Trolls tend to be modest and support men.
This is thought to be because only women can give birth,
and men often stood on the front lines to protect women.
In fact, there is no difference in combat power between
male and female Trolls, and it is common for female Trolls
to lead groups.
Barbarous often involves a strong man commanding
multiple women, but Trolls become companions with only
a specific partner. Regardless of gender, "strength" is their
most important value, so they do not swear love with words
or gifts. Instead, they are attracted to each other for the first
time by recognizing each other's strength through duels.
What stands out in the culture of Trolls is their view of
life and death. They do not fear death but rather despise
dishonor and cowardly behavior and fear dying without
fighting. "How to fight and how to die" is the theme of their
life, and they even consider it their desire to fall in the fight.
For this reason, they always aim for victory, continue to
train, and live each day to sublimate an incomparable life.

they are especially effective at using magic related to earth

without being taught by anyone.
The Arbors respect their elders, and most follow their
commands. Their society often decides its policy by
consensus, but the opinions of the older ones tend to
prevail, which is common throughout the race.
Also, from the experience of almost being driven to
extinction, the Arbors are also enthusiastic about increasing
their children and raising them with great care. Although the
birth rate tends to be low, they sometimes kidnap Meria to
compensate and increase the number of children. It is also
believed that children with Meria become superior adults,
and there are tribes and settlements that actively attempt to
kidnap Meria.
Perhaps because of this, they have a strong interest in
different races and sometimes even kidnap Humanoids
other than Meria, knowing that they cannot produce
offspring. Some show deep affection and treat them like
family or siblings. Once they fall in love, they are known to
burn with a very strong passion.
However, in the depths of their hearts, resentment
towards Humanoids is always lurking, and it seems not
uncommon for them to suddenly lose their temper and kill
their partner.

[Witch Transformation]. Baba Yagas tend to dislike this and
refuse resurrection. Even if they resurrect, they may either
hide where no one can find them or, on the contrary,
pretend to be Humans and blend into Humanoid
settlements.

Place in the Society

Even in Barbarous society, Baba Yagas's existence is not
well recognized. This is because there are few in number,
they are exclusive, and they often retreat into the forest, so
there is no way to make contact in the first place.
However, their ability to handle magic is highly valued,
and endless Upper Barbarous want to recruit them as pure
combat power or as strategists.
Therefore, there are also kings of Barbarous who
occasionally invite Baba Yagas into their armies to be central
pillars of them or help as Tacticians.
In Humanoid society, Baba Yagas are known as the
classic monsters for scaring children who do not sleep at
night. However, very few people know the truth, and they
are only recognized as "terrifying monsters living in the
forest". Therefore, even if they visit a town of Humanoids in
their usual appearance, they are hardly ever found out and
scolded.

belong to by looking at them. They represent tribes that are
good at hunting, gathering, processing, sewing, dyeing, and
fighting, and it is not uncommon for these to be combined.
Centaurs are generally very cautious and rarely interact
with those outside their tribe. However, they value loyalty,
so once they trust someone, they will not lie or deceive
them. Particularly, they are willing to risk their lives for
someone they consider a close friend.
Centaurs do not usually form large groups. If the climate
and food supply allow for many children to be raised, they
may split the herd into two. Even without this, some young
Centaurs may leave the herd when they come of age,
traveling alone or interacting with other races. However, if
fellow Centaurs are in danger, the tribes will come together
and form a massive force to help them.
Although it is rare, if the number of Centaurs increases
too much, they may form a large legion and start an
expedition in search of new territories. When this happens,
the Centaurs become extremely aggressive and dangerous
invaders. In particular, the Centaurs may deify and revere
the Gigantors, who are considered to be their giant kin.
When such a group starts an invasion, it can escalate into a
large-scale war.

they tend to be somewhat isolated. Because they are

Place in the Society

The existence of the Dawns is hardly known, even in
Barbarous societies. Their work is required to be done
without being found by anyone, and the lack of interest in
others by the individualistic Barbarous is also a reason.
On the contrary, there are those in Upper Barbarous
who find Dawns useful. Drakes, burning with territorial
ambitions, and Basilisks, who like to plan, are utilizing
Dawns. Other Barbarous also seem to use Dawns for

Humanoid slaves reside or in the farms that surround them.
