Sprites, "Half-Fairy Race", are Demi-humans who can trace their origins back to Elementals. They tend to possess longer life-spans and stronger magical force the more pure their blood is, with some of the purest members of it's races living for almost a millennium just from their innate power.
There are four primary families among the sprites that can each trace their roots back to a specific element.
Dwarves, "Earth People Tribe", representing the earth element and derived from the High Dwarves, "Earth Spirit People".They were the result of elementals of earth being incarnated into human vessels.
Kijin, "Oni People Tribe", also known as Oni , representing the fire element and derived from the Enki, "Fire Spirit People".They were the result of elementals of fire being incarnated into human vessels.
Elves , "Long-Ear Tribe", representing the wind element and derived from the High Elves, "Wind Spirit People".They were the result of elementals of wind being incarnated into human vessels.
Merfolk, "Fish People Tribe", representing the water element and derived from the Sirens, "Water Spirit People".They were the result of elementals of water being incarnated into human vessels.
Among all four four primary families among the sprites the Merfolk were by far the weakest, while being able to perform exceptionally underwater their strength didn't amount to much on land.
Overtime the merfolk saw their downfall at the hands of human who after inheriting the knowledge and wisdom from the Super-Magic Empire started banding together and killing or enslaving most non-human species.
Seeing their rapid downfall and enslavement of their kin, the merfolk fled to Great Jura Forest where they lived by the Great Ameld River.
Though even in the forest merfolk would always be a contest for territory and resources with the lizard men who are able to perform nearly as good Merfolk in Water while also being formidable on land while also having superiority in numbers twice over.

Mikazuki POV
Jura Forest
Sevenyears.
It has been over seven years, since I was born in this new world. It was quite a shocking moment when I realised I was surrounded by talking fish people.
It was when I was 2 year old that I realized that I was reincarnated into the Tensura world.
The realisation of something which he formerly believed to be fiction was now his reality.
Realisation that this current world he lived in wasn't a happy go sunshine one, but rather a world where he could die at anytime.
Realisation that this world was Tensura.
'Well, It was more the fact smacking me in my face than realising.' I thought just I was smacked in the head by a sheathed katana.
"That hurt!! You could have split my head in two you know." I glared at the old man with in front of me.
Mizu an old merfolk supposedly over 300 years old, also my grandfather who took care of me when my parents passed away.
He had a name just like me something that most of the tribes does not possess. While Demi-humans were more likely to name each other this wasn't the case right now in the merfolk tribe.
The merfolk right now were practically on the verge of extinction not due to lower numbers but as an effect of degradation. Like how Kijins are all extinct while a degraded version of their species are still present in the form of Ogres, merfolk fear such fate right now.
It was about three century ago that this problem started to arise. Now at this point there were are only a hundred individuals with names in the entire tribe in the last century, with the total population of Merfolk being twenty five hundred.
Only a few families in the entire village possessing "pure" merfolk blood.
'Give it a century, an all of the newer merfolk would have degraded to a state similar to Ogres.' I mused, predicting our most likely future.
"If you don't want to be smacked then focus on your training."Gramps grunted placing his katana over his shoulder.
Deciding that arguing would be pointless, I returned back to my training, practicing Arts.
Arts, techniques performed entirely through the users own capabilities like martial arts and magic, rather than through the automatic processes of skills.
More specifically, Mystic arts an advanced form of arts that involves adding magical properties to one's own aura, essentially fusing battlewill and magic to create a technique that surpasses the potential of either individually.
'The perfect thing for me, someone who wasn't born with a unique skill not possess any offensive skill.' I thought as I coated Mystic Water to my sword and swung it at the nearby tree, cleaving it in two.
Before I could enjoy the accomplishment, my body started giving out.
"Alright that enough for today." Gramps immediately caught me before I could fall to the ground.

So this is just the introduction, the chapter truly starts from the best chapter onwards.
