I have to tell you, living in a forest sucks! I stink, full of dried blood, mud and leaves stuck in me.
I've been attacked by wolves twice, initially it even made me happy, because at least I would have meat to eat, but when they realize they are losing, they run away.
When my bread is gone and I have nowhere to store tons of food from the system, I had to forage around. I think the new Tracker's Gauntlets influenced a bit, because I managed to find lots of berries along the way, not all of them were good, but they were very nutritious, because I did not feel tired. But the world is not made of roses, I had diarrhea today, so I do not want to eat things I do not know if they are edible, if one of this berries was poison....!
My forest life is being a pain! Not to mention the insects, there is beetle, spider, mosquito and scorpions that see me as a great sack of blood! I can not sleep more than an hour straight! And I have to sleep on the ground or on trees, the ground is damp and full of big predators. the trees are not comfortable and they are full of damn insects! I am almost collapsing and giving up on my damn mission, if it were not for the fact that I am immortal and with my rewards system that literally makes me the most powerful creature of all universes, I would have given up. I do not know exactly when it started, but I'm treating my life like a book, I'm going to try to do interesting things, and if I do not like it, I just reboot. I think this is some kind of immortality complex, in the future I'll be analyzing this. But anyway, for my fragile life of the moment, it's very complicated! And it's only been five days since I've been in this damn forest! Seriously, it can not get any worse!
* KABOOOOOM *
* SHUAAAAAAAAAA * rain falls like stones being thrown by the gods themselves, the noise is loud, like a waterfall!
SHIT! Damn mouth! It's raining! At least it will improve my scent!
I keep walking blindly (literally blind, so much water is falling that even breathe is hard) in the forest until I see a trail!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THE GODS DID NOT ABANDON ME!" I screaming when I reach the muddy road, I choose to go in a random direction! With my wet face, I do not know if it's rain or tears. I'm jumping and smiling in the mud.
Almost an hour later I see walls.
Glorious walls! Although it's just tree trunks forming a 4m tall wall, but that's enough for me! My joy is at its peak! I start running towards what looks like a little town.
I find the gate
"HEY! SOMEONE ELSE !?" I cry in Iskiso, the name of the island is Iskynia and the language spoken is Iskiso!
A small door opens at the gate, I can only see the eyes full of scoring the age, the person on the other side shouts in a surprised tone.
"What are you doing? What are you doing here?"
* KABOOOOM * The rain does not forgive!
"I'm from a distant island! I'm just passing through, now I'm just looking for a rain shelter!" I scream back, it's inevitable, with all the noise.
He starts looking around the sides checking if I'm alone, and asks
"Are you armed?"
"Only with a dagger"
The door closes and a few moments later the gate opens
"Come in, young man"
The person who was talking to me is an old yellow, wearing a leather aviator hat and an overcoat to protect himself from the rain. On the right side there is a simple cabin with a table with cards and three other guards with swords and simple clothes.
I nod and go into the little town, he closes the gate and puts an iron bar in the lock
He leads me to the cabin and says
"Young man, if you go in that direction, and turn there, you will find a tavern, there is no guesthouse in the town, but you can shelter there for now!"
He points with his fingers at the direction I should go, I thank him and I follow, the instructions the streets are all muddy, my foot sinks almost 10 centimeters with each step.
In less than a minute I arrive at the place, which is crowded, with almost 40 people inside. It's a simple place all wooden, filled with candles lighting the room, but still has a gloomy feel.
The vast majority of clients are yellow men, they wear plain clothes and their faces are red with alcohol! Some of them play cards, others give a laugh at stories and some just curse others.
Since I have no money, I just take an unoccupied chair and sit in the corner of the room! I'm soaked and shaking which cold. But I still hold the pose of tough, I've read several novels, tavern is a place to find problems. So I stay in mine space.
I lean my head against the wall and hear the rain, then someone nudges me.
He is a man, White, a thin, almost hairless beard. He holds a pot out of white steam.
"Hey boy, you sure are out of here, why do not you sit there with us! Do not worry, we're friendly!" "Just a bunch of happy miners! "Come with us!" they all scream.
I feel no evil in his words, I smile back and follow him, a thousand thoughts pass through my head, during the short walk I can not but sigh, in a tone that no one hears me!
"Out of that goddam forest!"
