Unlike real humans, humans in the world of fiction can use magic, psychic powers, and various other special abilities. There are many cases in which humans are inferior in physical and magical abilities compared to individually powerful different races such as elves and dragon people, not to mention gods, but even in such worlds, there are many cases in which they are the majority in the world at the present time in the work due to their adaptability and reproductive abilities.
