/2 days later/
"It's officially one week," I said in nostalgia while eating a drumstick.
{One more week till the systems protection mechanism shuts down}
There have been a few things on my mind during these two days.
Like why my body lacks the need of vital resources such as water and food.
Was I even human anymore?
"I don't feel hungry or thirsty."
"Why?" I asked myself in confusion
I shook my head, tossing such useless thoughts away. I leaned on the teal walls of the cave I'd grown familiar with throughout this week.
I'm much stronger now; for two days straight, I've gone on a hunting spree for those dodo birds, killing them even more efficiently than the last.
"I might've even driven them to extinction." I chuckled and entertained myself with the prospect of driving them to extinction

Every time I open my status window, I feel a sense of accomplishment and nostalgia as I remember how I used to be the one running away, and now it's them running away from the mean green bean demon!
I decided against spending my stat points as the first time I allocated stat points.
My fatigue had gone down from 6 to 0.
IT surprised me, so I decided to do some more experimenting.
During hunting, session fatigue peaked at 77
And I felt extremely lethargic.
So I allocated a stat point to Constitution because it was a stat known to be related to your physical health and stamina.
The results were quite shocking.
My fatigue had gone down by 50!
And I no longer felt like I was going to die. I just felt tired.
Which greatly contrasts the previously hangover I felt just seconds ago
Naturally, I abused this bug whenever I went hunting Artherie (The Dodo birds); I used it less and less as I got stronger because my fatigue piled up slowly compared to before—making it a total of 7 stat points used in 2 two days.
Very efficient was all I could think of ever since that moment.
"Levelling up has become much harder nowadays," I said, annoyed as I was starting to enjoy the constant level-up notifications which rose like crazy two days ago.
Lying in my cave for a moment, I stared complacently at the ceiling.
"Oh, I know what I'm missing," I said in a spark and sat adequately, locking my palms together In acknowledgment of that.
I require a water source; Dodo blood doesn't suit my tastes; it smells like fish. I haven't touched water for more than a week I'm starting to feel a bit deprived of something my body no longer needs for whatever reason.
"Water should be underground because there are so many trees in this forest; I don't believe a single lake could sustain them all. There should be an underground water source. I've long searched two kilometers around my base and found no water." I said, determined to find a water source
I manipulated my hair and spread them out into six single strands 360 degrees around me, then plunged them into the earth, searching for water.
{the limit My hair can extend to is two kilometers}
{If I'm unable to find a water source, then I'm never going to taste waster again in my life} I became more terrified as time went on
100 meters
150 meters
200 meters
250 meters
300 meters
310 meters!
I could sense a water source 310 meters below me!
Immediately after removing the other strands of hair from the ground, I used all my power to create a human-sized hole straight down into the ground.
It was easy as my hair just chopped the dirt into Teal glitter.
A beautiful sight, but the idea of water captured me even more.
It took me about 3 minutes of tunneling, which was very 'hard' work. I even saw my fatigue go up by 'one.'
Immediately I jumped down the teal slide and was greeted by an envoy of glittery sand below that cushioned my fall.
I immediately met the captivating sight of a small pond and a miniature waterfall sustaining the pond leading outside, indicating that it was a river.
On the left flowed a small stream from deep into the cavern.
The water was gorgeous; it sparkled under the sun, showing a clear reflection of my- Handsome? face
I was, covered in teal dirt from head to toe.
My green hair was roughly messy; my tracksuit wasn't ripped or broken but very wet and dirty.
"M-my face!" I exclaimed in shock
The only thing that kept me alive on that planet was the handsome face I wore proudly every day.
I felt like a certified light-skinned f*ck boy from my home planet, though naturally, I had no game.'
A-anyways
'Cough!'
'Cough!'
"My hair! Bro, it's the 5th chapter, and I'm already In A mess!"
"Author Nim COME BACK HERE!"
(Stealthily, the Author of Craig's story ran out the back door.)
Taking off my clothes and keeping my shorts on, I used water from the pond to clean my face and splash water on my body; I then cleaned my tracksuit.
"Damn! my body is sexy!!!" I said, admiring my body in the pond
I had a nice set of a toned six-pack; my chest is well developed. I looked like those calisthenic bodybuilders back in my old world.
Once I'd cleaned myself, I stood up, admired myself a little longer, then left to explore the cavern.
{This is safe, right?} Thought Craige as he faced the dark tunnels worriedly.
"Let me check out the world chat for a bit before I leave."
