It has been 6 days since I started using spears and training at the river. I haven't killed anything as of yet, but my progress has significantly improved. My reflexes, reaction time, strength, speed, and even battle IQ have improved.
It was around day 8 when I actually struck an animal and injured it. It was a white deer with golden antlers. It was fast and had fast reflexes, faster than my own, but I ended up grazing its thighs as I ambushed it. Although it came with a price, it kicked me and injured me, making me unable to hunt for 3 days.
I whispered to myself as I said, "Today's the day I kill one of these bastards."
I went deeper into the forest and climbed a tree, near where the deer like to have a drink and eat. I stayed patient and waited for the right opportunity as the deer walked by the river to take a drink. I controlled my breathing, hiding my presence and becoming one with nature.
I readied my form as I aimed for the head of one of the deer. As soon as it went for a drink, I threw my spear as hard and precisely as I could. The deer heard the wind and the sudden rustling of the trees. However, it was already far too late as it struck its eye that met mine, and went right to its head.
The other deer, upon seeing their dead comrade, began to cower in fear and ran. However, two fawns stayed with shock in their eyes. One began to walk towards the dead deer and nudged on its dead, lifeless head covered in blood. The other one looked at me and looked back at the dead deer and began to shed tears.
I walked up to the two deer as it looked back at me with confusion, "Hmm, free meat."
The two looked at me in horror and tried to escape, however, they weren't fast enough and one of them got stabbed in the neck while the other one in the leg.
"Don't make it harder than it is little ones." I said with indifference etched on my face
The one that got stabbed in the neck bled out as it cried for help, while the other one stared in horror and began to make strange noises, "Erkkkk!! Eeekkk!!"
Ffftt
Blood scattered everywhere and got onto my cheeks. I rubbed it off with indifference and said, "Should've stayed still."

I stared at the progress and smiled. I then put my spears on my back and held the two fawns with my left hand and the deer on my right hand.
When I got home, I placed the 3 in my storage, as I had no way of cooking and cleaning them because I still do not have tools. Along with practicing my hunting skills, I have also been practicing my craftsmanship. However, it hasn't improved as much as my physical body and technique in hunting. The best tools I currently have are 10 sharpened spears.
I have tried creating many different tools but failed. My recent failure was creating a knife, as a knife will help me greatly with cooking and hunting. However, it wasn't as easy as I thought, as working with stones alone while trying to craft a handle was hard enough, let alone sharpening random stones.
"Hmmm, what can I use?"
I walked out of the house and began to look around. Making it to the river, I kneeled down and was about to drink, until I saw the reflection of my face.
"Ah! That's right!"
I stood up and began to run towards the beach. As I made it there, I was then again in front of the ship I sacked when I first woke up on the island. I made my way up the room and saw the sight I saw after I woke up in this new strange world. However, there was something different. The bed was gone as I took it for myself.
I walked up to the mirror and saw my reflection once again, "I still can't remember."
"Oh well."
Crack
I punched the mirror and grabbed all the broken parts and brought them back home. I crafted a rope using grass and tied some broken mirror pieces into a small wood, making a mirror knife. Although not as sharp as an actual knife, it was still better than using stones for cutting.
As I cooked the newly skinned family, I began to form the biggest grin a man could have and said, "Hmmmmm, finally! Meat!"
I stood up and picked up my spear and took off my clothes as I went to the river to hunt some fish, "I'm gonna eat good tonight!"
