humans hello you're a human, it's way more simple to be one, you can do whatever normal human do however if you stay too long on god's land without signing a contract you will slowly go ill

occupation until not signed contract you can't hear animals talk. can hear once you signed contract with raven god etc then you will be only able to understand ravens as well.
