A good DM is both of these. They want you to feel that the danger is real, because higher stakes means the narrative payoff feels earned. They want you to feel like the world is wonderous, so that it feels like a thing worth fighting for.

Are you suggesting my good Mr. Baggins of Bagshot Row, Hobbiton is not a god among burglars?
Is that not what the post office is for? Were pony express riders stopping at every individual farm and cabin?
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Please remember that your DM is a person. They are also playing the game and deserve to have fun, and for their boundaries to be respected. They are not just a physics engine for your shenanigans.
That being said, some DMs in specific groups might be totally fine with this. Just don’t spring it on someone without prior discussion and consent. That is (among other things) what session zero is for.
