Lucas has been stuck in the densely packed forest for a day now after the tiger incident (let's not bring up that sad story again). Lucky for him, he mapped every river he came across, and the rivers here are quite clean, at least there were no pollutants from cars in this world. He could always go to the nearest water source when thirsty. The forest contained a variety of fruits, so much so that Lucas couldn't even recognize most of them, causing him to prevent himself from eating them as they might be poisonous.
"Hey System, is this edible?" Lucas looked at the red apple on his hand, out of all the fruits he found, it looked the most harmless to him, but he still wanted to double-check just in case it might cause him some side effects.
Lucas's face turns red in an instant. 'Sh*t, screw you! why did I even bother asking? I've only just embarrassed myself. At least I'm sure that it's safe then, time to eat! I'm starving now.'
*crunch* *split* "What the hell! why does it taste like chili pepper?!? Damn spicy!"
"Didn't you say its apple?!? Why the heck is an apple spicy, isn't it supposed to be sweet?"
"Tsk, what about this?" Lucas didn't bother to fight with the shameless system, he held out another fruit that looks like an orange, but it is blue in color, making him hesitate since he is not sure whether it was safe to eat that.
"Haha, the fruits you recommended to me all have side effects. Since you saw me perspiring you must be annoyed that I've found a cooling fruit and don't want me to eat, guess what?" He started peeling away the skin and place all the slices of ice fruit into his mouth and displayed a satisfied expression... Isn't that quite some time now, why does he still have that expression on his face?
"I was scammed!!! Now what? I'm in the middle of nowhere and I can't move for 1 hour and 40 mins. Let's just hope no beast will pass by. Oh yeah, what is my progress on [Tiger's Aura] now?"
<[Tiger's Aura lv3] (63/1000)>
"Wow, level 3 already, it's my highest-leveled skill yet. Ok, I can definitely scare away those beasts"
*Rustle rustle* Suddenly the bushes in front started moving. Just as Lucas was crying as he prayed in his heart, hoping it to be a non-aggressive beast, a rabbit's head pop out of the bushes. A horn-rabbit to be exact. 'So cute~ ah I want to cuddle that white fur ball so hard!... Why did that sound so wrong.' Lucas stared at the innocent bunny as it cautiously hops out, stared back at the statue and started to hop around it.
'Which idiot human dares to dirty my place by putting at statue here? I got to admit though, my heart skipped a beat when I saw his figure, so handsome~ Wait, I'm straight, this daddy here is faithful to his lady alone, better destroy this fast and go back to satisfy her again. (😏you know what they say about rabbits)'
"Phew, for a second I thought (s)he was going to kill me. Looks like I did the right thing investing my crystals on looks... Why is (s)he suddenly pointing its horn at me? Is (s)he horny hahaha!" (Author: he concluded that the rabbit is a female from the system's notification)
*charge!* "Wa-wait! Why are you charging at me?!? I know you want to come into my loving arms as quickly as possible but charging at that speed with that horn will kill me! Stop! Mo-move body! MOVE!" Lucas managed to move just a few seconds just before he was penetrated deeply, the side effects ended just in the nick of time.
The two of them are in shock now. 'How did the statue move? Is it a living human? Hehe, now this lord wants to try that body of his'/'Why is that bunny which looked like it wanted to kill me a second ago looking at me with a fiery passion now?!'
