Human

Humans (人間 Ningen) are a race that exist in the New World.

Background
Humans are one of the main humanoid races that YGGDRASIL player can use as their game avatars. Humans are also found in the New World, where the Great Tomb of Nazarick was teleported. There seems to exists several variant human races, such as winged humans in the New World.

Though many of the nations that surround the Great Tomb of Nazarick are primarily inhabited by humans, this region happens to represent just a small portion of the New World. Beyond the nations' borders are many demi-human and heteromorphic nations hostile to humanity. Unlike in the World of 2138, mankind is at the bottom of the food chain and are often prey by many monsters and other races as their livestock.

Humans in this world however, are also considered to be one of the inferior races to YGGDRASIL's. The reason for why there is a cluster of human nations was due to the fact that they are situated relatively close to the Slane Theocracy, a nation that fights against the encroachment of all non-humans and preaches human supremacy. Not only that, but the reason they live in open fields, where there is nowhere to hide is because they aren't strong enough to survive in the mountains or forests. Additionally, three out of the six biggest countries on the continent viewed humans as food.

Appearance
Similar to their counterparts from the real world, humans in the New World come with a wide range of skin tones, hairstyles and eye color as well as builds. Most of the humans in this world including those from the Re-Estize Kingdom, Baharuth Empire, and Slane Theocracy have blonde hair and are relatively good-looking.

Abilities
The human race as a whole do not possess any special abilities. They are considered to be standing on a precarious line between survival and extinction from six hundred years ago to now. Granted, there are actually certain demi-humans who were weaker than humans, such as Goblin.

Though to give humanity some credit as a race, they seem to have raised a large number of martial arts experts and talent users. Not only that, but they have the capability to use what is known as Tier Magic introduced by the Six Great Gods and later spread further around the New World by the Eight Greed Kings. Unlike the humans in YGGDRASIL, it seems that humans in the New World are unable to use the power of Tier Magic to their fullest as there are only a few of them who can even reach the 6th Tier.

High-level humans have high resistance levels to poison and illness. The only way for human to gain magic and talents comparable to demi-humans with the exception of their vision aside is through training constantly over time.

Culture
The humans have a calendar system that divides the twelve months into the four elements. Each element group is further divided into three levels: Low, Middle, and High.

In the Web Novel, it was known that the percentage of humans in the Baharuth Empire, Re-Estize Kingdom, and the Slane Theocracy was about 100%, with a mindset that was more isolationist that the surrounding countries. This mindset still exist in story, as some humans are also xenophobic and hate human foreigners.
