It's been a week since I start my training and I can feel the soreness on each part of my body. My attempt to gain strength and recover quickly has been working on my favor but the soreness and fatigue are almost not worth the extra strength.
My attempt to fix my twig of a body is rather.....slow. I can safely said that I'm no longer a twig but being a thin pole isn't exactly a good thing. Compare to monster I fought in the games, they can still snap me like a twig.
At least my workout routine has been increased by 5 for each set. Which isn't much but I'll take any type of progress I can found.
I had to replace my daggers after days of cutting the tree. Stone dagger was never been the most durable weapons but with limited resources I got, I have to improvise.
It wasn't much but it's all I had since I'm stuck in this forest thanks to that boar. Despite the immense amount of food supplies here, it still feels like a prison.
And just like most prisoners, they would like to break out of their prison, including me. But, I know if I try now, I'll be hunted down by the security guard a.k.a the boar. So, I'll continue to bid my time.
Not that I can do anything besides that with how weak I am.
I unconsciously rubs my scars again while looking at the newly made dagger, which didn't look good at all. This is the pain all modern humans have to suffer in the wilderness.
My next plan is to make a proper shelter. I did try to make a shelter before but the only thing that I manage to build is a giant ass bird nest. Yes, a fucking bird nest.
I seriously terrible at getting my priorities straight. Why did it took me a week just to finally think of making a proper shelter?
...did I fully converted to a Kobold and didn't mind living in wilderness with nothing but your own fur?!?
Why did it took me a week to finally think of getting some clothes!?!? Seriously, I was naked and I just think about it now!?!
Fuck, I can't believe I somehow embrace my new life as a Kobold!!! This isn't what I want!!!!
Okay, Darren, calm down now. I'm very lucky to be alive while ignoring some red flags here.....fuck, I'm very lucky.
Focus!!!
I should look around the forest to see if I can get some animal fur to make some clothes. I hope I can at least made a decent rags to cover most of my body or at least my groin.
"*whines*" I'm so glad that no one is seeing my weird isekai life right now. I'm feeling like I'm dying from self embarrassment and I rather not share this moment in my life.
If my life was somehow got published as some sort of novel, I can see tons of readers comment at how stupid I am, and I can't blame them for that, I am an idiot.
I guess my parents are right, I am a failure.....
...I'll just ignore my sudden depressing thoughts and focus on the task on hand. I walk around the forest to see if there's any resource I can use to help increasing my survival chance-
A bunny just showed up in front of me. It's not just any bunny, it's the same bunny that flees when I was on the ground exhausted.
...
I grab my stone dagger and sneakily try to hunt the stupid bunny. But, fate has other plan as I accidentally steps on a twig and snaps it, catching its attention and it tries to escape again.
Oh, no you don't!
Using my strength, I toss my daggers at the bunny. But, much to my embarrassment, it only fly for few feet away before it crash into the ground.
I can feel my pride shatters into tinier pieces. How long do I have to endure these humiliations? First, the boar, now the bunny. It's like the wildlife has some sort of vendetta against me!
I numbly walk towards the dagger I throw and grabs it before I notice a cow sleeping next to me. I was very angry, so I went for the kill with zero hesitation.
I use every strength to made sure I kill the cow by stabbing it right on its eyes and into the skull. I didn't give it a chance to woke up and rampaging as I use my other dagger to stab its throat and into its brain.
It was a bit excessive but I'm now live in wilderness. I rather not take any chances.
After I kill the cow and my anger left my body, it dawn to me about one thing. I don't have any ways to move this fat ass into my camp.
Well, I should butcher this up.
It took me a while to butcher this fat cow since they have a really thick skin and my stone dagger isn't actually sharp enough to made it easy. I got numb seeing the cow's blood after so many times I gutted fishes just to eat them.
I use the dagger to cut up the stomach and huh....why is there a sparkling stuff inside the cow? I hold myself from gagging as I get rid of the inside and....
Why is there a mana ore inside a cow!?!
I get that cows sometimes eat rocks or lick them but to think that they eat a mana ore of all things! Mana ore is a perfect tool to detect mana inside your body to see if you have the potential to be a mage in the game.
I excitedly grabs the ore and try my luck by using the ore. The way it was used is easy, just simply touch them and if the stone glows, you're a mage potential.
I hold the stone for a minute, and another minute, and another minute.....
The stone remains the same.....
...
...
I grab my dagger and butchers the cow with zero care. I'm fucking pissed right now!!!!
