"What is wrong with you?" Morgan scolded.
Morgan was now furious at Clover. He turned a blind eye when Clover just blindly followed him while lost in thought, and now he suddenly kneels and feels dispirited. What is wrong with the mentality of this kid?
Fortunately, Clover still has his sub-consciousness following him, so he doesn't have a choice but to pick a clear path. He thought this might also be good training for Clover's mentality, but now it feels like it backfired.
Of course, it infuriated him. He didn't accept Clover to become a babysitter.
Awaken by the roaring, angry voice, Clover was startled.
"No- nothing." Clover's response was still down.
"NOTHING?!" Morgan shouted. He calmed down his emotion and continued.
"Look at you as if you have no more reason to live. As if a revelation made you feel despair and hopelessness. And you call that Nothing?" Morgan rebuked him.
Still not receiving an answer from Clover, he looked at him and sighed.
If he didn't heighten up his spirit, he would become hopeless and wouldn't survive in this New Age.
"Kid, look, I don't know why you are spacing out, and I don't want to sniff out of your business, but looking that you are losing hope suddenly, maybe you forgot your goal. So what is your Goal?" Morgan asked him in a gentle tone.
Clover, whose eyes were in the abyss, suddenly felt enlightened.
'Yeah, so what if I will become someone's tool for entertainment? I still have my goal for now - it's to find my sister and Rose. That's all matters.' Clover slowly stood up and patted his shirt. The wet pants caused by his peed were slowly drying.
'hump, Just you wait there Gods!' Determination flashed in his eye. His Long term goal, for now, is determined.
'To the creator of this God's Record….. To fight you is to become a God!' Clover swore to himself. His fist punched through the cloud while watching above.
It was supposed to be a glorious move, coupled with the serious expression on his face, and the determination flashing in his eyes was betrayed by his wet pants that were still visible even though it was drying.
Seeing this, Morgan couldn't help but chuckle.
'What a silly child' Morgan gently look at him before turning his back and continuing the path.
"What? Why are you looking at me like I'm an idiot?"
"Isn't it?"
"No, I am not… And don't call me a kid. I'm already 18." Clover said as matter of fact.
"Ah, whatever." Morgan then continued.
"If I were you, you should stop spacing out and look for the food to eat and find a source of water." He then plucks fruit from a tree and shows it to Clover.
"See this fruit? This is not the typical fruit you can see in the modern age. I guess even them mutated, as this single fruit has double the size of an apple and glowing slightly." He then throws the fruit to the ground and continues instructing Clover.
"We can't know if the fruit and plants are edible or not. So the only source of food right now for us is the meat of deer or soft animals. Hopefully, with their evolution, we can still deal with them." Morgan then continued walking and kept instructing Clover while noting it in his mind.
After that, the atmosphere turns quiet. Morgan didn't say anything. After that, both of them were quiet as much as possible to avoid getting noticed by the beast.
…..
While they were walking, Clover was startled, a voice asks in his mind.
[Host, I think you misunderstood me.] It was God's Record.
'System, stop shouting on my mind.' Clover retorted.
[This is not my fault, host. As the host is too weak to split his consciousness.] God's Record said.
The reason God's Record was communicating in his mind was that that was the only way they could communicate.
God's Record doesn't have a choice because only through thoughts can she communicate to Clover, and Clover couldn't split his mind while being conscious in reality and mentally, and that's why God's Record decided.
[This is only the last time I will contact you, host, until you can split your mind.
Back to the topic host, when I say that you were the only one who holds God's Record, doesn't mean you can meet them easily.
And even when you meet them, it doesn't matter, as we can't sense our existence, unless the other party reveals it. So I think you misunderstood when you think you will become their tool for entertainment, my only goal is to record all your achievements until you become a God, that's all.]
Then God's Record becomes silent.
Hearing that, Clover heaved a sigh of relief.
'I really should stop taking presumption as a conclusion. Now that the world is dangerous, I must be wiser in making decisions. Well, I should just take it as an experience.'
Clover tried to console his stupidity.
'System, so what is the Goal of your creator, really?'
[I don't have memory regarding that. Aside from recording your achievements to become a God, I don't know anything else. Maybe time will tell.]
'Hmm, it's no use worrying about that for the time being. First, I must learn to survive and understand this New Age.' Clover firmly thought in his heart, as his eyes showed determination to survive.
…..
The Scorching sun was bathing both Clover and Morgan. They would bury themselves often in the shadow of the tree to take cover. Thankfully, before they were teleported, they already wore their footwear, adios to those who weren't.
As they continued walking to find their prey and their source of water.
.....
A mutated lion was sleeping hundreds of miles away from them. The lion has a sharp bone spine protruding from its back, its tail is three times taller and more extensive than the average tail of the lion, and as he waves it, it is much faster and swifter.
It's still snoring, so you could only imagine how fast was its tail and how much weight it would give if he woke up.
Currently, the mutated lion was still snoring and happily sleeping. We don't know when it wakes up and find its prey.
.....
Three hours passed. Morgan and Clover still didn't find any prey to eat, much worse to have water to drink. They feel dehydrated caused by the heat of the sun, as their saliva is the only thing that prevents them from drying up.
Morgan was feeling it inside but doesn't show it in his expression, but still, his body betrayed him so, his walking earlier is like a walk of a turtle now, he is conserving his energy for hunting, he knows that once he saw a prey then that means a source of water is near.
Meanwhile, Clover was constantly huffing but still continued walking.
No one tries talking to each other since that will only worsen their circumstances. Morgan doesn't want that either, he was so angry right now because of what Clover did earlier, if they didn't waste time back then, they already must have found a source to eat.
He didn't even bother stopping whenever Clover stopped to take a breath, causing Clover to run to catch up to him. Clover didn't complain either, as he was also sensible to know the circumstance they were in.
Ten minutes after….. Clover was about to lose hope when Morgan suddenly stopped, causing Clover to stop.
Then, Morgan slowly walks to the bush in a crouching manner, after hiding, he stops and stares at the front. Clover follows him after and also stops behind him. When he fully saw what Morgan was looking at, he was overjoyed.
It was a deer, a normal deer. Morgan was very cautious as the deer were very normal, he found it strange, as he thought all animals already mutated, and mutated animals are very different from the norm. Morgan didn't make a move and wanted to know if this prey would bring them their source of water.
The deer didn't notice the dangerous situation it was in, it was still normally eating grass. The space was small, with only a hundred-meter radius, thus, the deer wasn't afraid of a predator pouncing at it.
A minute after, Clover was losing his patience and was about to take action personally when the deer's neck goes up and look in a certain direction. It was in the 3'o clock direction.
After that, the deer walk in that direction. Morgan feels happy inside while Clover feels otherwise. Clover thinks that the deer notice them and walk away, and wait for them to show up so it can run after, so he was anxious to kill it.
While Morgan was feeling happy because he think that the reason the deer walk away was to drink water, and it clearly knows where it was.
Morgan who noticed Clover's anxiousness already knew why thus he whispery explained to him before continuing to follow the deer.
Clover followed with enthusiasm.…..
