Mansters: Bundle

The world has changed. In the good old days, things were simpler: one lived a plain, frugal life, and promptly died at 35… assuming one wasn’t tangled up in some war, famine, inquisition or terminal toothache first. Despite the hardships of life, though, humans lived a more or less content and carefree life, with less stress, more romance and other such naive notions. 

Today, however, things are very different. Technology and the sciences are making rapid progress in an abundance of fields and have found their way into every household (or just about). While all this suggests that people should have to work much less, and have more free time for rest, self-cultivation and -education, entertainment a higher degree of comfort, they nevertheless find themselves in a constant state of insecurity, a daily struggle for survival, a life full of anxiety and fear… Oh, this fear! It is so intense and so widespread throughout societies, that people have learnt to live with it, or – worse yet – to feed off of it.

In fact, some people have become so good at feeding off of the fear of the rest that they decided to make a lifestyle out of it. In other words, they utilized fear as a primary tool to achieve a comfortable way of life, and acquire fame, wealth and power at the expense of other people. In time, that fear spread everywhere, whether large and uniform or cut into tiny pieces and sprinkled across our daily life, it covered like a veil of mist the hearts and souls of people, dominating and subjugating the mind.

And so, people came to hold less fear for monsters, these fantastical and mythical creatures that were created to frighten us. The balance of the world shifted. Monsters were pushed to the margins, isolated and embittered, unable to fulfill their raison d'être, while humans live a grey life – dull, full of fear towards all the challenges of daily life which they themselves have created.
