3 – Survival (2)

Fortunately, a plant that was effective against bleeding was growing nearby. The question is how to use it.

It’s okay to use it in games, but it’s not real life. Blood is flowing in my arm right now, but there is no point in eating it.

I don’t know if I should crush it with a stone or just roll it like a bandage. But there was no time to think.

I roughly crushed it with a nearby stone and applied it to the bleeding area. Whatever it is, blood must be stopped.

Fortunately, crushing and applying it must have been the correct answer, and the bleeding stopped soon. I let out a sigh of relief.

‘It’s fortunate that it’s overly realistic.’

I’m not talking about the reality I’m experiencing right now, but about the game. The reason why I was able to immerse myself in the beggarly control feeling is the various status abnormalities.

If you don’t stop bleeding, your stamina will continuously decrease and you will die, and if you don’t sleep on time, your overall stats will drop due to lack of sleep.

In particular, drinking water and food supplementation are the most important, and if you do not drink water for three days, you will die no matter what.

So if I can’t get out of this hellish place, I must find drinking water.

‘It’s a parasite, it’s a nabal, you have to live and see.’

It’s really hard to find drinking water in the wild. Even flowing valley water cannot guarantee safety.

Moreover, my throat is already sharp from the battle where I risked my life just now. I’m slowly getting hungry.

‘I’m glad I found the cave.’

Luckily, I found the cave just before dark. The humidity is less than outside and the temperature is just right.

It’s a shame that all kinds of bones are scattered around the cave. Still, all of them are old bones.

If someone had left a corpse, they would have run away right away. Giving up one’s life for a day’s sleep is foolish.

“Whoa… The f*ck.”

I spat out a curse as I leaned against the cave wall. I still don’t know how it got to this shape.

I’ve never cursed at a game like a novel, and I’ve never received anything like DLC. He was an ordinary user who could be found anywhere.

It was a single game and there weren’t many users, but there were definitely other users. Why did you send me?

Even though they are deceased, there are people who became oil because they were more rotten than me. But they sent me

‘Could you tell me the standard…’

I’m dumbfounded because I can’t get angry. Why am I the only one out of all the people?

Of course, someone other than me could have come here. But there is no way to know that.

‘Everything is fine, but why are you in a place like this…’

If you look at other novels, it drops in a city or village where at least ‘civilization’ exists. I dropped it in this goddamn forest.

As soon as I opened my eyes, Porori hit me with an iron boot, and after that, while walking a bit, a wolf bit me on the arm.

Salsaeng, which I thought I would have nothing to do in my life, is a bonus. Even though it was something he committed to live, the feeling still lingers in his hands.

‘I have to survive somehow.’

This is reality. It’s not a dream, it’s a reality where the pain is vividly felt.

I’m not even sure if this is really a game world. There is a porori, but it could be a coincidence.

After setting the ultimate goal as escape, the primary goal is to survive as much as possible. To do that, you need to plan.

[Possess Ability]

-You currently do not have any abilities.

When I think of the status window in my mind, it pops up as I want. I took a close look at my stats.

Because I was beaten by Porori, my physical strength increased by 5, and my strength and agility increased slightly by killing the hungry wolf earlier.

It’s a bonus that his faith level dropped because he insulted God. I didn’t care about this.

In Soul World, it is easy to raise the stats in the beginning, but it is difficult to increase as you go.

Above all, it is inefficient to blindly hunt because of its realistic aspect.

‘Real crap stats.’

The most common knight job is much better than it is now. I’m a game person, not a real person.

Even the characteristics and skills are disastrous. Other births have at least 2 or 3, but I have none.

There is a ‘Wild Instinct’ that I just got, but I don’t know if this will help.

If I get out of here with other words, it’s a meaningless characteristic. Living your whole life in the wild is crazy.

‘Still, it’s better than nothing.’

Even Bear Grylls specializes in ‘survival’, not ‘wildness’.

In order to survive somehow, he ate bugs and moved busily. Even he is waiting for rescue.

But what about me? I know quite a bit of knowledge, but it’s a story limited to games, and reality is different.

The reason why I defeated the hungry wolf just now was because I showed my wits. There are many guys who are much stronger than him here.

‘It’s really gloomy.’

I laughed out loud at the horribly dark reality. My heart is already depressed.

But I can’t break my heart already. You have to survive somehow and find traces of civilization.

Moreover, if this forest is really near the academy, the chances of survival increase. Because someone might come.

It’s story and nabal, and survival comes first. To do so, you will need a lot of preparation.

‘Should I wait until I feel better?’

My left arm is also like this, so I can’t even hunt right now. I wonder if I’ll be able to hunt in the first place.

I’m not a survival expert like Bear Grylls, and I don’t have the right weapons.

It is comforting that there are bones scattered around the cave.

I don’t know what kind of animals or monsters were living there, but there were some bones that could be used as blunt weapons.

‘Tanguri.’

The bones themselves can also be used as blunt weapons. I picked a bone that could be used roughly and swung it.

I felt strange because I felt like I had become a real caveman, but what can I do?

A human being can show his true worth only when he holds a tool in his hand. Especially in the wild like this.

‘Ha·······

Suddenly, a severe blow comes. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why I have to suffer like this.

Maybe animals or monsters have to eat their dung. Just imagining it made me vomit.

As I was fiddling with the heavy bone, I suddenly remembered an important fact.

‘How to light a fire?’

As long as you use the cave as your base, fire is essential. However, it is difficult because the arm is in this shape.

In the first place, it is better to expand the radius of action by focusing on a certain place of residence than to move aimlessly.

I keep emphasizing that, unlike anyone else, I am not a survival expert, but an ordinary person.

The more I went, the more difficult the situation became. It’s really just a sigh.

‘First, let’s hold on until our arm heals.’

To make matters worse, I am left-handed. I had a hard time crushing plants with my right hand earlier.

I don’t know when my arm will get better, but it will take at least a few days.

I hope someone doesn’t surprise me before I recover.

‘······I should get some sleep first.’

Both body and mind were exhausted from the sudden change of circumstances.

I used too much strength in a near-death crisis earlier. I even bleed.

I picked a bone that could be used as a pillow and laid my head down. Hard things are all the same, but better than nothing.

‘When I open my eyes, I hope it’s my own room.’

I prayed earnestly and closed my eyes slowly.

I don’t know if it’s because of the wild senses, but as soon as I close my eyes, I feel like my sense of smell and hearing have strengthened.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep like this. Still, I closed my eyes as much as I could and entrusted myself to the water horse.

-Ahhh!

-Chiririk! Chiriririk!

-Kyaaang! Wow!

The cry of wolves. The cries of grasshoppers. An unknown sound.

All sorts of sounds from outside the cave mingled and penetrated my ears. It bothers me, but not enough to wake me up.

Smells the same. The damp smell unique to the cave has already perfectly adapted.

The fact that other smells are coming out means something is wrong. I can sleep in peace.

-Cheer! Chirp!

After a while, this time I heard something like a sparrow. Just listening to it is peaceful.

Anyway, don’t sparrows usually wake up in the morning? A nocturnal bird would not make such a sound.

“······ Huh?”

I secretly opened my eyes in a puzzled mind. What could this be?

It’s outside the cave, which was dark until I closed my eyes, but the light is coming in. Thanks to that, the inside of the cave became clearer.

I noticed it belatedly while looking out of the cave with a bewildered mind.

The dark night has receded and the morning has dawned.

‘······You only closed your eyes?’

I heard a sound and smelled it. I really closed my eyes, but the morning was bright.

The funny thing is that the fatigue of the body is completely relieved. Although my left arm is throbbing, it is less painful than yesterday.

I did not spend the night with my eyes open, but with my eyes closed.

The language is a little strange, but this is the best for the lack of expressiveness.

“What?”

Bewildered, I went out of the cave holding a bone in my right hand. Through the trees, I could see a forest illuminated by the morning sun.

In the forest, birds chirped and flapped their wings, and the sound of grass insects was much quieter than at night.

I looked around the forest for a while and scratched my head. It’s a ghost to sing.

But a bigger problem arose than that.

“Oh.”

I was hungry.
