5-getting ready

    You have hunger like fire pit that can rarely satisfied. But today you satisfied it at least once.  Next time you will need even larger amount of food to completely satisfy your hunger. VIT permanently increased by +3    

    Except for its guts, bones and skin you ate everything of stone gorilla. A small part of its brutish strength is added to your muscles. STR permanently increased by +1       

Pragna calmly looked at his notifications. Then he got up and tried to clean the skin as much as he can. Then he wrapped some part of it around his waist and tied it with a piece of skin. Then tried to  make a make-shift shirt. But that barely worked. So for now he tied it around his neck like a Poncho but he removed it around his arms for more movement. After that he wrapped some smaller pieces around his feet. After making sure that he tied everything properly, he started collecting the bones of the  gorilla and started arranging them on the floor. Sadly the skull was too damaged so he had to carefully arrange in it. He studied it and got better understanding of anatomy of this creature.

    You gained a basic understanding of stone gorilla's anatomy. Next time when you fight a stone gorilla, you will have 5% higher chance of defeating it      

He looked at the notification  for a while. To confirm his doubts he ate small piece of left over skin. Nothing happened. So he started eating rest of the left over skin. After eating some more pieces

    Because of your constitution you were able to digest the skin of stone gorilla, the second toughest part of its body.       

   You discovered Physical defense! your skin is now more sturdy. Next time when you fight enemies chances of taking damage decreased.  Physical defense lvl2      

Pragna assumptions are  right! For him there are no non-edible items in this world. Each time he consumes them he will receive some kind of bonus, but it seems ingredients loose their effect if he consumes them again and again.

Then he looked at the bones. He tried to bite a small piece, but it was so hard that he could not  even make a dent in it!

So he started using fire to make it crack after few careful moments bones cracked into small pieces.He took a small piece and swallowed it.

Immediately he felt a small change in his body

    Congratulations! By consuming all essential components of stone gorilla u have gained a new passive skill. Stone gorilla physique, lvl1. As you increase your stone gorilla physique lvl your bones  will become strong  enough to the point that you can take a bite out of the boulder.  your skin will become so thick that sharp weapons will bounce off your body 

    Physical defense lvl 3      

He finally got a better understanding about his body. In this world if you eat a certain ingredient repeatedly  you can gain certain bonuses pertaining to that species. But everybody cannot pull that off, for one you need a voracious appetite and second some items like skin and bones are not edible. But he does not have that problem. He can digest anything.

He took rest of skin and made a make shift satchel out of it. He filled it with fire fruits.

Then he started looking around to make a weapon a knife sharp enough to cut stone gorilla's skin.

As he was looking around  he got an idea. He bent down and touched the rocky land. Once he activated his skill  of lowest earth affinity and fire itself, his fingers went into the rocky terrain smoothly. He carved out  chunk of rock.  He first tried melt it and remold into the shape he wanted. But that turned into a mess! It seems the moment it melted the composition of the stone changed and it became  a bit fragile.

 Again he took another chunk of rock, this time he tried to slowly  reduce it to the shape he wanted. slowly he reduced it to a rough shape of a stone slab.

   Lowest earth affinity  reached lvl 3      

He slowly melted the edges to sharpen it. Slowly he started to sharpen it  with his fingers to a blunt edge.

    Lowest earth affinity  reached lvl  4     

Then came the tough part! sharpening it. He tried to create a  fire knife. First he concentrated as much mana as he can in his hand and then tried to create a fire knife with all this densely packed mana. He was able to create a small flame that extremely white  and bright in color! It took him almost 5mins to create this flame blade and whenever he tried to control the shape of flames it took time and effort. This skill set was still not a battle applicable yet. For him to practice this skill he need lot of practice, but lot of practice implies lot resources, that is food. Off course he can satisfy his hunger by eating fire fruit and drinking lava. But as he seen before if he over eats the fruit he may become resistant to the healing properties of it and he cannot carry lava with him. Also he was getting a little bit sick  of lava's taste. Its like drinking hot  molten rotten eggs!

He used that flame knife to slowly cut the edges to make it sharp enough. Just maintaining this blade has almost depleted his mana reserves.

Finally after 1hr of careful carving he created a sharp blade. He cut it against his skin. Blade made a cut with little resistance.

Pragna is quite satisfied with his results. He took a small piece of skin and tied it around the grip part.

He was quite tired. He took few gulps of lava and ate few fire fruits. While doing this he started thinking about current situation.

After coming to this  world i did not drink a single drop of water. It has been almost 15 days yet i have still not  dehydrated. As a matter of fact he was not even sweating! with all this work  he should have been sweating enough to form a small puddle. But yet not a trace of it. May be as my titles suggests, i am not anymore........what was i exactly? goddammit!! why did they have to alter my memories. I know this fiery liquid is called lava. When that stone gorilla tried to tackle me i instinctively kicked it with my knee, i know that using your bare body as a weapon is called marital arts. I know so many other things! yet when i tried to remember my name, my history and my species name all i draw is a blank. That red ball said that they iterated my memories but did not want to change my personality. But a personality is formed by accumulation of memories. So my current personality may not even be the real one! Also there was something odd about their explanation for his transfer into this place. If he really did render such services then why was i put in this hellish place. The moment he stepped out he was attacked! Only way i can find proper answers is by getting strong. I need to get strong to the point that i can where i want without any obstruction!

He got up. Took the satchel and knife and started climbing to the cave again. He is ready for round two.
