Chapter 4 - The Beginning! (2)

'Woosh' Something is flying above the forest. 

Tristan jolted awake by that noise, and quickly rushing outside to see what has caused it.

"Wh...what the f*ck is that? is that a dragon? No, the body is not a dragon, the body is a tiger? is that a chimera, or completely a new creature?" That creature looking down to something. "I have to hide, I don't want that thing know that I am here."

Tristan waiting the noise is gone in the cave.

"Is it gone? fiuhh... I don't want to see that thing ever again, I don't know anything about this world yet but if this is an otherworld that I know, there must be a hero somewhere, I hope that hero come and kill that monster, anyway I've come with a name for that creature let's call that monster The Red Dragon Tiger, I'm so good at picking names." Tristan proudly saying that to himself.

"Okay, let's continue our plan last night, what I have to do now is digging a hole for the traps, making a lot of stone spear, and I will try hunt some animals with it to test it strength." 

Tristan begin his day by going to the river to get a drink and gathering a lot of berries for his food today and start to dig a hole for the traps.

"Finally, I finished digging the hole for the trap, and now I just need to craft a lot of stone spears for the trap."

Tristan crafted the spears until dusk.

"I can't craft anymore, I think 30 of them is enough for the trap, let's plant the spear in the hole now."

Tristan planted the stone spears and covered the bottom of the hole with it.

"I think this is enough for the trap, now let's test this trap, I'll go and find that wild boar I saw earlier."

'Growl' wild boar appeared.

Tristan quickly turn his head into the sound, "There you are, I don't have to find and lure you here, I will ki*l you and I.... Will... Cooked... "

Suddenly 5 wild boar appeared and Tristan smiled awkwardly "aw sh*t, I don't think this trap is big enough to have 5 wild boar in it."

Tristan grab his spear and step backwards slowly, "Okay, stick to the plan, I'll see how many of them fall into the trap, and ki*l the rest, I don't know why, but this 2 days I feel my strength and stamina increasing, unlike the last time when I fought the goblins, but this time I feel I can kill this wild boars."

The wild boars charged toward Tristan and his trap; three of them fell into the trap, while two boars continued to chase him.

With swift reflexes, Tristan dodged to the left and thrust his spear towards the neck of the wild boar on the left, the spear pierce through the head of the wild boar, and instantly killed it.

Tristan surprised for what just happen and Thought to himself, "I know I'm getting stronger, but what the hell with this strength." Tristan was both surprised and delighted by his rapid growth.

Without a moment to celebrate his growth, the other wild boar was already charging toward Tristan, and Tristan prepared him self to face the wild boar. "I have to make sure how strong I am. Now, this time, I will try to confront this wild boar directly." 

The wild boar charged directly at Tristan, and then Tristan stopped the wild boar attacks by gripping the wild boar tusk firmly and stabbed the wild boar neck with it's spear several times, the wild boar stop moving and fell to the ground.

Tristan was surprised and couldn't believe he can stopped the wild boar charge directly.

With a face showing no emotion, Tristan walked toward the trap he had set to check if any of the three wild boars that had fallen in the trap are still alive.

"Two were still alive." Tristan immediately thrust his spear into the wild boar head without blinking.

"Fiuhh.., I don't know that I was that strong, maybe I can hunt down all the goblins in this area to make them pay for what they have done before. Alright, that's for later, now I have to get these wild boars out of the trap." Tristan getting out the wild boars from the trap and bring them one by one near the cave.

"What should I do with this boar meat? first let's make fire so I can see more clearer." Tristan start the fire, "Much better, I don't know how to skin an animal, but that's doesn't matter, all I need right now is just the meat." Tristan skinned the animal, but the result is a mess.

"I know this looks like I'm mutilated this boar, but it is good for my first time, I think." Tristan began cutting the meat into cubes, skewering each piece on a branch he had carved into a makeshift skewer, and then he roasted the meat over the fire.

Tristan devour his meat eagerly.

"Mmm... This is so good, even though it's bland, there's still a hint of sweetness from the pork fat."

"I'm truly full." He said, leaning back with a contented sigh.

"I'm so sleepy." he thought, feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him. "It's the first time I've truly enjoyed a meal since arriving in this world, although it's only been four days. I feel like I've adapted quickly, especially after experiencing that near-death sensation, even though I've died before. It feels like something is missing from me, but I don't quite know what it is.

"Whatever it is, I'm sure it's a good thing, as it allows me to adapt quickly to this situation. I need sleep now; my mind feels utterly exhausted. Good night, fire. Good night, pork. Good night, cave."

Tristan drifted off to sleep, his mind wandered to the plans he would need to make for tomorrow.

Tristan doesn't know that danger lurked nearby, drawn in by the smoke rising from his campfire.

There are orcs watching the smoke from a distance, their eyes narrowing with interest.
