286: Six Native Races of Portal World

Six Native Races of Portal World

"What did we study the last time?" Asked Tutor Olsen, as she gazed at the classroom. "Oh, yes. We talked about superpowers and elemental energies. I explained how superpowers were decided and how the medicine the Mother AI created was limiting our future paths. Now, I will skip a few subjects and talk about the Native Races of Portal World.1

We still don't have a clear picture but after the alien's declaration of war, we have learned that there were five other races living in Portal World and each of the five races had their own AIs.

Let me name all the six races and their potential superpowers first." She said and the projection changed into a list of names.

"Mama Hill, as you all know, is our "kind-hearted" AI. Created by one of the native races of Portal World, Lares. Lares weren't much different from us, humans. And according to Mother AI, all six AIs choose their champion races based on their resemblances to their creators. And when it first descended, Mama Hill said the same thing, that Humans were much alike the race created it, thus it came to assist us. The Awakening Serum created by Mama Hill mostly awakens Elemental Superpowers.

Athena Race created the AI named Oracle. You may have heard this name, as this was the AI that shut down the Grader system in Portal World. Now assisting the Apollo Race that will invade Earth in near future. An alien from this race had already declared war against us in the previous and probably last Grader Competition. Athena Race, much like the Apollo Race were battle-loving creatures who wanted nothing but an honorable death. Their only true goal was to die in a thrilling battle of fists. The Awakening Serum created by Oracle mostly awakens Superhuman Superpowers.

Shaman Race created the AI known as Tribe of One. It is unknown where it ended up, but on Portal World, it was mostly known for its good nature much like the race created it. The Shaman Race had a benevolent relationship with nature. They would only feed on fruits and would live with animals in harmony. Most of the interracial battles were stopped by this race and their immense powers prevented one race to destroy the other. Even when Portal World was first invaded by monsters, Shaman Race refused to kill them and wanted to come to an agreement, but upon losing most of their members, they had to fight back. The Awakening Serum created by Tribe of One mostly awakens Beastly Superpowers. Such as, shapeshifting into an animal or controlling them.

The Buddhiva Race created the AI named Spiratas. Not much information was revealed about this race and even in Portal World, they were living isolated. As far as we know, they would meditate most of the time to suppress their worldly desires. They had the least population and territory, still, when provoked, they could fight back. The Awakening Serum created by Spiratas mostly awakens Spiritual Superpowers. Most of the powers we relate to Mind Seed are under this branch.

Iron Race, created the AI, Vulcan. This race lived above a mountain rich in metals. From birth to death, they would create weapons. Although they could also use those weapons, they loved creating and tending them more. They were also the top manufacturers, thus other races would rarely provoke them. The Awakening Serum created by Vulcan mostly awakens Weapon Superpowers, which allows its user to either control a cold weapon or change part of their bodies to weapons. Like Number 7 here.

Demon Race, yep that is their name, created the AI, Demon's Servant. You will not believe it, but members of this race looked like demons depicted in our lores. Red skin, horns, fangs, and nails. The full set. They were nefarious and greedy. Always wanted to destroy other races and plunder their sources. The Awakening Serum created by Demon's Servant mostly awakens Demonic Superpowers." With it, the chart in the air vanished.

"As I mentioned in the previous lesson, there are six known potential pathways in each ancient gene. Each AI had created a serum that would awaken the powers of one of these pathways, but there are still people who can awaken other types.

While others were getting awed and taking notes, Miles was having a discussion with Coin in his mind. When he discovered the mysterious room where he found the Maroon armor, he also found some documents. In those documents, the owner of the mysterious room mentioned two medicines and how some names were compatible with those.

"Coin, can you bring up the passage, please?" Miles asked impatiently.

[I have created other medicines that can help my subjects fight back against the abominations. Yet, the effects of these were too potent.

The body medicines can only be used by the Athenas and Demons. The Athenas, thanks to the crazy training they do from birth. The demons, due to the super-strength they were born with.

As for my other medicine, it can only be used by the Tribe and Monks, as their potent effects grievously injure others who were not trained well—but at this juncture, I have no time for training.]

"These are the native races of Portal World. The Strengthening Serum is deadly to humans if they haven't awakened energy, but it was the same for the native races. But 2 races could use the serums without awakening their energies thanks to the innate strength they possessed." Miles said in his mind.

"Same goes for the Mind Serums, Tribe and Monks are probably Shaman and Buddhiva Races, right? After all, the AI Shamans created Tribe of One and the Buddhiva Race kinda resembles monks in old lores." Coin gave his opinion too.

"That is not all though," Miles exclaimed in excitement, although only in his mind. "Remember those monuments we found in the cave?"

"The one under the Endless Mountain?" Coin asked.

"Yeah, those were probably Shamans as well. Monuments had that aura and animals living with them in harmony. I am sure those were the sculptures of the Shaman Race."

"Most probably."

"Then who is this person who created the serums in the first place?" Miles asked. In the documents, the person noted that he had created the Superpower Awakening Serum, Strengthening Serum, and the Mind Serum. He could even theorize which race was most compatible with each serum.

He also discovered how to merge orbs! Whomever this person was, was the true benefactor of humanity. After all, without him, humanity would be destroyed.
