Chereads / Reincarnated In Another World as a Human? / Chapter 4 - Living Necessities

Chapter 4 - Living Necessities

After setting my life objectives in this world, I began to think about my short term goals.Right now I am thirsty and my stomach seems to be in a disco party with the rats dancing in my belly.Seems that the healing skill took nutrients from my body leaving me starving.

The cave seems to be ownerless, so I can make my shelter here. I have to block the entrance and make a alarm mechanism in case of a intruder though.

Thinking about that I carefully stood from my position and dusted the dirt from my back.Then, I approached the entrance of the cave.Arriving at the entrance, I instinctively closes my eyes due to the sudden increase in brightness.

After sometime , I open my eyes slowly and looks at the scenery."Ah!" It was breathtaking.There was greenery everywhere with tall tress which stood proudly , lively grass gently swaying at the rythm of the fresh air filled with oxygen.The chirping of birds in the ear and the bright sunlight peeking through the gaps in the trees entering the eyes.

I feel like the mother nature is embracing me and for a moment I forget about my first kill and lost myself in the warm embrace.But I slowly found myself back and remember the tasks that I have to do.I quickly start the work.

First I collect some dry twigs and branches for the fire.Then I find some bushes with thorns in them.They can be used for the blockage of entrance to the cave.Then I broke some branches with lots of leaves in them for the bedding and cover for myself to kept myself warm.

"Those camping in the wild are helping me now.Really sometimes unexpected things can help you someday.Ugh... why am I thinking like an old man.Now I am 16 years , I should think like one if I want to enjoy my life"

Thinking useless things and humming to myself I collect all the things.

"Now I have to look for food and water.I saw some fruits in the distance so I don't have to worry about food.But water can be a problem.I don't know if it is drinkable or not."

I think about the ways through which water can be purified.And I remember several ways.

"Hmm... I can boil the water but I does not have anything to hold water now.I can also also use some grass and charcoal collected from the fire to filter the water using my shirt. But now that I think about it, can't [Perfect Healing] skill purify the water.Yes, I think its possible."

Since [ Perfect Healing] can heal any disease and illness it means it can kill bacteria and if I will it to heal the water meaning to kill the bacteria I can get safe water.Mud and soil can be filtered out easily by using my clothes.

For a water container I collect some big leaves and knitts them together using small twigs tightly and make a reusable and eco-friendly bowl.

Now , I concentrate on my ears to see if I can hear some sound of a water source.With those fantasy like stats my senses have been strengthened and I can indeed hear the sound of running water.

I follow the direction in which the sound come from with my eco-friendly bowl in hand .In about 250 metres I come across a river in which clear water is flowing.The view is breathtaking but I do not lost myself to the view this time.

I crouch down near the edge and scoopes out some water in the bowl.Then I activates the skill with the imagining the removal of microorganism from the water. "[ Perfect Healing]"

<[ Perfect Healing] applied. Status effect removed. Bacteria has been removed from the target.>

And... It worked! Now I don't have to be worried about water shortage.I bring my eco-freindly bowl near to my lips and gulp down the water in one full sweep.

"Puhaaa , this is the best "

After appeasing my thirst I look at the reflection of the young man in the water. The face looks perfect with sharp eyes , smooth skin , perfect jaws and a perfect nose.His hair color silvery like the moon's reflection.

"I think I am getting in love with myself.Oof , what do I do with this handsome face.Looks like I have to hide from girls from now on.Life is getting hard and hard."

Throwing those narcisstic thoughts in the 'The best things that happen to me' folder in my mind , I come back to reality.Since the river is not that far away from the cave I only fill one cup and comes back to my cave.I notice the corpse of the goblin laying on the ground and dispose of it.With this my living problems are solved.

"Now I have to work on my fighting skills and martial arts.Let's worry about that later since it's gonna be night soon".

I arrange my bed and block the entrance with the bushes and scatter some dried up twigs which would make sounds if stepped upon by someone , although this is not very effective.I can only hope that no animal or monster intrudes on my shelter and even if they did I wakes up from the noises.After that I start fire with the collected firewood.

After that I eat some berries which I don't know what they are called.Other animals are eating them so I took some for myself.There are many vegetation that I never saw so I only took those which were eaten by some other animals.After filling my tummy I drink some water and laid on my makeshift bed.Although not very comfortable it can accompany me in my lonesome nights in this forests filled with unknown dangers and maybe unknown but fated opportunities.With those thoughts I close my eyes and embraces the sweet sleep.

"Good Night me"
