Adam was free climbing up a cliff, his muscles good shaped like a granite while his hands and feet where caliced and Routh. In his mouth was a Shard of Obsidian he held between his teath. If one would look at his status Adam would see.

In this Year Adam found out that one moon rotation took 28 days and that one solar Year had roughly 450 days. that would make a luna calendar of 16 months with a exra month every 14 years. With ca. 19,2 hours in a day you had a lot of time. Thougth thanks to one eye-opening expirnce Adam knew that as long as his lifetime clocked ticked that he couldn't die nor loose a limb, since it regrew in a few Days.
Yes Adam had to admit. Even though he looked and feelt human, that he wasn't one. He was one of thouse 'Tén' whatever they where.
Additionaly Adam figureed roughly out what his stats where and how to display them. thought not all of them. It was still a work in progress.
That didn't explained why Adam was climbing up a Cliff. Well, Adam found Clouds! Adam knew! where there where Clouds there was Water. So Adam was Climbing up the wall of Stone!
His hand gripped of the zenith and pulled him up and Adam could See the biggest Hotspring in the World. You could see the River of Lava flowing in like a trowing Pebbles into a Big lake. It would take this world Hunders of Years to drain the water from this pool. He saw how Gysirs expelled water into the Air! Adam was Happy.
With Water Adam Could do so much Pottery for one! And that would solve so many problems for him. And he could Drink Water! F-ing Water! Since a Year ago Adam was Thirsty. Well not That thirsty but still he fellt like you could use a good cup of Water! He felt like Crying!
It took Adam 14 hours to come to the waterhole and when he cupped it into the hands to drink he needed to spit it out again for it was a liquid most vile and salty.
This water was so probably so acidic that it could melt flesh from the bone!
It took Adam same minutes to recover and picked up his obsidian tool he made, made a marking on the wall of the lake. Adam was disappointed but not without a plan. Adam made his Way near the Lava river he grew to tolerate and began looking for a Big rock. A Basalt and it didn't took him Long. Then he made his way to a Softer Rock and begann to gather the smaller ones.
He wanted to make Clay to make pottery. And how would he make Clay? Easy! Smack the rocks into Dust! And that Adam did. When Adam grew Tired he stopped, meditate for hour then slept on a nice Rock, sorting the files of the UAM System. When he was done he got up! Did his Workout, strched and continued Grinding up Stones into Dust. It took Adam 5 Days to grind up enough dust. He Took the vile water into his Hands and brought it to the Dust until it was soaked.
Then Adam tried to make a bowl out of it. But it was to Brittle... It ended up like a tick shot glass. And es he Tried to bake it over the Lava it Sprung into many Fragments of which man fell into the lava. But Adam was determined. He took one Hour for himself where he gathered Stones and minerals to put them into piles. Even if he couldn't make his Pottery into cups for now, he could use it as plaster to help fill the holes in the Walls he made.
Adam refocusd again and started again to turn Rock into Dust. Looking for the most effective method turning the Basalt and stone into a Big Grinding Bowls over the Days. And Every time the Results Faild Adam Gatherd the Fragments to try Again. Soon Adam Found out how versatile Vulcanic Ash was and after Two Luna months and Hands so Dirty they could camouflaged into Stone
One Bowl finally was done. Adam tested it! It hold water fine. Then he Gathered Stones Suitable to Build and made a Structure. It took him two Days befor he put on one of the stone slabs on the top he was working with. He made it so that a tiny tip was pointing into the bowl.
Adam looked at the pool of of vile Water and began to grin like a Maniac. Then he checked the Waterlevels with the make he made when he got there. The water sunk by only a Tiny amount of Water while Adam was there. Time to get Drinkable Water.
He Gathered up other Stones put them near the lava river that was moving a Meter the hour and waited till they where Hot and glowing and befor they could turn gooy het took them with his bear hands turning on the stress and let them Drop into the waterpool seeing them boiling the Water letting the Steam into the upside stone bowl and suddenly water began to drop into the Vulcanic ahs Clay bowl.
It took 6 trips back and forth with the stones until the bowl of water was fillend and Adam took it with reverence. It was Water. Slightly Acidic but for Adam feelt like a diying man who got to drink and Ice drink in the Desert. He just sat there still like a statue feeling how the water rejuvenate him. For the first time in a long while a Tear left adam eyes.
He put the the bowl back. looked down on himself and saw his sorry state. He began to laugh and used the pool to clean himself. Even when the water burned his skin. When he got out to meditate he notice how his Stress reduced by a lot and sat at 60%
