Chapter 63

'I'm still extremely weak so adding a few points to strength won't change anything... However, I am very good at evading, and even though this might not help in the long run, I know that the best thing for me to do right now is to strengthen my strengths and hope I survive.'

"Put two points into agility," I said aloud.

[+2 Agility]

Other than looking at the stars which were no longer shrouded by the pollution of the greenhouse gasses we produced without care, I went to sleep in the cave which seemed to be some kind of safe zone in which no creature would enter.

The next day, I went through the same routine, this time however I tried to sharpen my ax but failed a few times, cracking it half on others, and eventually barely succeeding just for it to shatter after the first use.

When I had finally gotten how to do it, I had created my first properly usable stone tool capable of both cutting down trees and killing creatures I could not kill with my bare fists.

Anyway, after looking at the stars, mesmerized by their radiant light as well as the moon's beautiful lunar light, I fell into another deep slumber, waking up on the 6th day of my adventure with a newfound vigor to explore the forest, something I would deeply regret afterward.

Throughout the last 5 or so days, I had learned to always trust my gut instinct, but at this very moment, I had to go against it.

I knew that going in without a plan would be dangerous, especially since I now knew there were creatures out there that could have probably devoured an entire town in minutes without feeling an ounce of fatigue in the process.

However, I also knew that the food on me would probably last less than a day before growing bacteria and eventually rotting, meaning I would eventually have to leave my cave and find some food.

I had already cut all the meat and roasted it before containing it within a small rock tomb which I had tried to sanitize with both hot water and the fire that I had created.
