===Option 03: Academic Thesis on the Ecosystem===

All plants and animals (including humans) on this continent can be generally classified into two categories. If you use a highly self-centered viewpoint, those can be described as Friendly Lifeforms and Hostile Lifeforms.

Humans are an example of Friendly Lifeforms.

Animals closely linked to human life such as dogs, cats, pigs, cows, chickens, sheep, horses, and goats as well as relatively benign wild animals and plants also belong in that category.

Meanwhile, Hostile Lifeforms are those that actively threaten human life, such as Mermaids, Dark Elves, Dragons, Griffins, and Krakens. In most cases, they are violent and malicious.

To draw on an older term, you could call them demons.


Now, one important note is that not everything classified as a Friendly Lifeform is safe. For example, large carnivores like bears or tigers and venomous animals like hornets and scorpions are classified as Friendly, but they are extremely dangerous when encountered in nature outside of human civilization. And it saddens me to say it, but there are at times conflicts between humans as well.

Now, does this mean the opposite is also true and some things classified as Hostile Lifeforms are harmless and can be cooperated with? Unfortunately, this seems highly unlikely. Some of them are very nearly powerless such as Kobolds and Fairies, but they use their intelligence to work against humans, so their behavior remains highly cunning and dangerous.


It is impossible for humans, the peak of the Friendly Lifeforms, to live alongside Hostile Lifeforms. We can only marvel at our ancestors’ foresight in shunning them as demons in a time before natural science had been formally developed.



(Handwritten Note at Bottom)

This is far too influenced by the biases of those goddamn Forturianans who seriously insist butterflies are born from the morning dew. Besides, when you use the Light-Dark Duality that your religion insists must be true to trample on the actual observations, analyses, and records that form real natural science, you can’t even call this an academic thesis. Throw it out!
