After almost an hour, I finally finish making my new clothes.
The set of clothes I made consists of just two items
A loincloth to cover my lower body and a kind of Coat to cover my upper body
To make the loincloth, I used all the fur, which existed on the wolf's belly
First, I cut a leather strap, with the same diameter as my waist; I used that, as a base to make the rest of the item
After that, I cut a large piece of fur of the wolf's belly, in several thick strips, with different lengths
Therefore, I put these thick strips of fur, one on top of the other, thus creating various layers
This way, providing a wider protection, for the mini Icarus
To tie all the layers, I used some thin strips, which I made using the wolf's leather
The loincloth has a very rustic look, as the fur used in its manufacture was cut, using a stone
However, unlike its appearance, the item's attributes are very beautiful to see

[Damage: None]
[Defense: +10]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Item Requirements: None]
[Additional Bonus: None]
[Full Set Bonus: +10 DEF]
[Item Rank: Common (14%)]
(Note: The materials used in the manufacture of this item are of medium-low level.
However, its creator has only one basic skill level [Tailoring].
This resulted in the creation of an item with a Rank, a lower level than expected)
To make the Coat, I used the fur of the back, head and legs of the wolf.
First, I cut some strips of the wolf's leather to take my measurements.
Then using these measurements as a base, I cut a large piece of fur from the wolf's back, so that I could cover my entire upper body.
Right after that, I made two holes in the sides of this piece of fur, so I could pass my arms.
Therefore, I pulled out all the fur of Lobo's lower jaw, leaving only the upper jaw of the wolf's head
With that, I transformed the wolf's head into a hood
Finally, I made some holes in the fur, using a stone and tied all the parts of the coat using some leather straps
The result was a long rustic coat that reaches my thighs

[Defense: +20]
[Durability: 200/200]

However, its creator has only one basic skill level [Tailoring].
This resulted in the creation of an item with a Rank, a lower level than expected)
As for the leftover fur, I cut and made some rags of varying sizes
Which I can use to clean myself or to do other things
"Wow, it was much better than I expected! This loincloth gives me almost 4X more Defense than the other!
This is without counting the + 10 Defense bonus that I will earn if I use the full set! If I use the full set, in the end I will gain +40 Defense! This is fucking amazing!"
At that moment, as I look at my new clothes, a certain thought comes to mind
"Huehuehue! Good thing, I'm in Skarseld! If I were seen wearing this, back on Jupiter, I would definitely be arrested!
For wearing a fur Coat of wild animal! Well, this one was made with monster fur! So I wouldn't be arrested!
Anyway! Before changing, I go there in Icarus Fall, to take a shower and clean all this blood that is in my body!"
Having made up my mind, I hide all the bones and the three small pieces of meat, under a stack of branches.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that if any monster come by. He will see through that disguise easily! However, it is the intention that matters!"
Having finished organizing things on the floor
I grab my new clothes, a rag and finally the Mana Orb
While I look at the little golden sphere that is in my hands, I whisper to myself
"I'll take this to wash! After all, it's all sticky, because of the blood!"
I look around one last time, to make sure I haven't forgotten anything
"Let me see, I got the clothes, a rag to dry me, and the Mana Orb! Yep, it's all here!"
Having checked this, I start running towards the river.
…
After running for a few minutes, I realize two things
The first thing I notice, is that the increase in my stamina, decreased the duration of my trip
"Wow! Every time I went to Icarus Fall from my base, the trip took about forty minutes!
However, now only fifteen minutes have passed and I'm almost halfway there! This decrease in travel time is insane!"
When I was looking for a water source, I thought that if I were stealthy, I was more likely to survive
However, after spending time at Icarus Falls I realized that this was not true
Since the hearing and smell sense of monsters are hundreds of times better than that of humans
Therefore, no matter how stealthy I was, I was going to end up being detected, if that happens, it would mean Game-Over for me
After all, if these monsters detected me, they wouldn't give me time to sneak out and escape
Therefore, I decided that the best thing to do was to run all the way at the highest speed I could, since the beginning
Since I started doing this, my travels have become many times safer
Once a part of the monsters are very lazy, and don't even try to chase me
As for the other part, despite chasing me, they end up giving up halfway
Given that, the distance between us becomes bigger and bigger, because of the momentum I got from already running
"These round trips are very tiring! However, what makes me tired is not necessarily the fact that I am running!
After all, I can run for about thirty minutes at full speed, without having to take a break!
What really tires me, is that while I'm running at top speed. I have to carefully dodge all the stones and roots, which are scattered on the ground! In addition, I have to do this without losing my balance or slowing down!
Huehuehue! In the end, I always have to take five or six breaks during each part of the trip!"
The second thing I noticed, is that for some reason, during this trip, I didn't find any monsters
Not that I'm actively looking for them or anything
It's just that every time I made this trip back and forth, I always encountered several monsters along the way
"Well, this fact has two sides, one good and one bad!
The good side about it, is that since I didn't find any monsters... I don't need to fight battles to the death!
As for the bad side, it's because I didn't find any monsters... I can't fight battles to the death!
…
DAMN IT! Where the hell are all the monsters? I WANT TO FIGHT!"
