Living Among The Mortals
In a world of magic and mystery, the monstrous Clayman species suffer a curse that drives them mad upon seeing their own reflection. However, one Clayman, Neil, is different. Instead of madness, he develops a sense of self-awareness and curiosity about his newfound emotions. Determined to understand these feelings, Neil embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
Throughout his journey, Neil evolves and grows. He meets Lyra, a war goddess who becomes his master and adoptive mother. Lyra trains Neil to control his powers as both a human and a Clayman. Adopting a human form, Neil begins to live as a human, learning about human emotions, culture, and the complexities of human nature.
However, Neil's journey takes a darker turn as he delves deeper into human society. He encounters the twisted nature of humanity, witnessing the duality and two-faced behavior of people. Along the way, he uncovers the mysterious past that led to Lyra's sealing and the dark truths behind the celebrated Hero of the past.
"Living Among the Mortals" follows Neil's quest to understand what it means to be human, accompanied by a group of friends who share his desire for growth and self-discovery. Together, they face challenges and uncover secrets, revealing the complexities and depths of both humanity and the world they live in.
