Munbas

This world contains no magic and no gods, only plenty of very crafty humans. Humanity is alone on Earth. Religion and beliefs exist, but they are based on nothing. No magic is present and all events happen according to science, with (almost) no exceptions. New human abilities can only be reached through technology and science, and humans recieve no signs from their gods. Upon death, human life simple disappears, and no afterlife does exists. This however, does not affect their faith.
