So how have humans existed for all this time? Merely at to good graces that nothing in these woods decides to wander out of its designated zone?
Typical fantasy bullshit. Nothing really stops them from leaving the high magic zones, but they either find it uncomfortable or becomes hard to gather adequate resources in the low mana zones.

Also the higher mana zones likely offer the chance to evolve, where as the low mana zones have little to offer except a safer location to raise offspring.

Guys, watch out, we got a master of THE door and THE house here. Taking bets on a hyperbolic chamber so he can train even more and get more titles and stats.

Example of evolution:

Exactly like Pokemon, how the fuck does a fish evolve into an octopus

"Saint of Dual"
Because we need another title to pad the stat block out so it looks more impressive.

The description of "God of Death That Heals" sounds more like "Healer That Kills".

We also need more ranks to make things seem more impressive, so let's add a few above S.

Is the rabbit anything other than a cheap plot device because they wanted the MC to be even more OP?

To assume that a lvl. 99999 character with a cap of 99999 in one story is stronger and more impressive than a character in a story where he's lvl. 100 with a cap of 100 is quite childish.
But the numbers are bigger, so it's more impressive! And they've got quite a while until they reach Disgaea stats. Or better, idle game stats.

As the mantra goes, "Don't think too hard about it; the author didn't."

The thing is too is that when they use smaller numbers it has so much more of an impact like if the max level was 100 and normal humans usually only reach 20 or something
I remember reading Black Iron Magician, where the max human level was 5 or something, and that was only heroes and the like. That makes mentioning someone's level actually mean something. Heroine Survival also has similarly low levels, and it also applies to skill levels.

Not even S ranks are immune to inflation these days :cry:
SS and SSS has been around for ages, though.

Those were among the first titles he recieved upon entering the other world. So while there is a non-zero chance of it happening, I wouldn't place any bets, even just for entertainment reasons.

One of my pet peeves are stories where bloated numbers are used to denote superior strength, especially when those stats are just eyecandy and doesn't really affect the storytelling. It's a writing sin that I hope goes away for good. To assume that a lvl. 99999 character with a cap of 99999 in one story is stronger and more impressive than a character in a story where he's lvl. 100 with a cap of 100 is quite childish.
but these numbers will start to mean something once we meet the other humans of the land

It's a WoW zone. You step 2 meters from a road and you're going to be ganged up in an instant by 4 perpetually starving wolves or 4 Defias bandits who just stand around doing nothing.

So the race beyond human is surpassed human, thats the most bullshit and boring evolution i have ever seen. Clealy showing the author doesnt read much fantasy stories other than the trash ones.

i see the translation pattern here:
in japanese, "to be healed" is used a lot for emotional healing (as cuddling pets is an emotional healing).
in a nutshell, that just means he's a "cute god of death", or a cute killer...

That's what I referred to with "healer."

But the bigger issue here is that in practically all religions, the God of Death is not the one who actually kills people. It's either the one who takes people to the afterlife, the one who's in charge of the afterlife realm, or both. Then again, in most of fiction borrowing religious or mythological themes the God of Death is Evil.
