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.

However, according to Ainz, if there were human players around, they would naturally protect other humans first above all.[5]

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.[6] Not only that, but the reason they live in open fields like the plains, 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.[7]
