Living where the land is surrounded by monsters. Where three-headed giants, werewolves, vampires, and mutants are considered the norm? It wouldn't be so scary if you belonged to one of these races. If you're just like everyone else, no questions arise for you, and you don't ask them yourself. But you are a HUMAN. A human without a third eye, without a tail behind your back, or sharp fangs.
