After opening his eyes many notification appeared simultaneously.
'wow so i can also gain additional stat from sleeping. '
Waving his hand to disperse the windows he pushed the ground and started to stretch his arm while circling his head, after he finished his stretching he looked at the sky.
The sun is already rising at the east shining brightly declaring it's majestic light as it brightened the forest. While looking at the sun he estimated the time according to it's position.
' 6 or so in the morning huh, but need to reach the town before lunch and have a proper meal for once. '
While thinking about his plan for his future meal he kicked the ground and got up and started to walk toward a big tree to wake the rabbit he was with.
'what the..'
He almost choked himself as he was about to wake haze. haze is still sleeping comfortably as she roll around in her bed made from bank of leaves and other materials found in the forest, but that wasn't the cause of his shock.
'does this rabbit making a fun of me.'
He looked at haze who were in a seducing position as she sleep, her blouse tightly embracing her body slight loosened as one of the botton around the chest area came off showing her cleavage while her skirt rolled up to her tights, almost showing her undergarments and adding to it she has a cute face with a rabbit ear dangling in her head. a prime example of bunny girl that any man would kill for the sight alone of this girl sleeping defenselessly.
"eeeeeeeeeeekkk... ambush ambush... "
Crain used his skill and released his killing pressure that made haze jump in shock as she sprinted near the closest tree, hidden herself while trembling.
The sight of the rabbit cowering in fear made creed smile wryly as he deactivated his skill and walked near to Haze, Haze on the other hand realized what happened hastily jumped out of the tree and started to voice out her complain.
" Creed you meanie, meanie......i hate you now...buuuuuu "
Hitting Creed with her cutesy fist as she pouted.
" okay, okay, i'm sorry i'm just testing the skill if how effective it is. "
" uuuuhhhhhh, then you should test it with the monsters not me. "
Still pouting Haze retorted as she sulked in the corner picking a stick and started to draw in the ground, this sight reminded Creed of a child and he let out a chuckling sound as Haze looked at him in with a face distorted in irritation.
" creed, you meanie, creed you meanie "
She grumbled while doodling in the ground and from time to time looking at Creed in irritation.
Admitting his wrong doing Creed walked up near her.
" sory, sory... i won't do it next time. "
" well, if it's like that then i will forgive you since this will be our last meeting. "
Remembering their talk yesterday he realized what she meant and started to ponder for a bit on how he should reply.
" no, it won't be our last time meeting each other, one of this days i will visit your home. "
With a confident look he comforted her, since their battle for life and death yesterday he treated her as his comrade but as for the other she just blushed and avoided his gaze.
'what does he mean by that, is he really serious about me. '
She silently talked not letting Creed hear her as she got up while her face is still red as apple.
" o-ok. d-do as you like but that won't make me happy at all you idiot~~ "
The last word were spoked revealing her joy as she forced to stop herself from smiling that made her lips distorted showing a hideous smile.
Creed just shrugged his shoulder as he smiled wryly in return.
After sometime passed both of their stomach growled, so they decided to pick some fruits and mushrooms around the forest for their breakfast, wherein haze started to teach him the different types of mushrooms from edible to poisonous and so to fruits. while learning about the wild fruits and mushrooms he learned another skill and some additional stats.
*trring*

[Active]Food specialist[Beginner Lv. 1 0%]you will be able to identify foods in the wild increasing your ability to survive.

He were pleased that he gained a skill to help him survive in wild since he is planning to embark in a adventure as he learned enough information about this world in town.
After gathering enough food they started to wolf down the fruits after washing it at the lake and also left some to eat in the road to the town.
" hey haze we should go soon since i wan't to eat and rest properly for once since yesterday is tiring. "
"yes we should go soon since my tribe will worry to death about me if stayed here for more time..."
Creed gathered the fruits near his arm as he pushed some to his pocket but stopped by the sudden outburst of his companion.
" oh right i almost forgot, this should help you to store those fruits. "
Haze searched her bosom and brought out something round object and walked toward Creed pushing her hand to give to him. Creed hesitated at the beginning as he turned his head around not knowing how to respond to her action but at the end haze forcefully handed him the object.

Looking at the round object he immediately recognized the it. It is a silver ring with many glyph and ancient looking letters inside and out of it.
He looked at her dubiously as he expected a explanation for it but before he can voice out his question Haze started to explain to him about the silver ring.
" that ring is a work of our tribe, it is our prided invention as it has the function to store anything in there wherein it will be transported to a different dimension, it also don't have any weight limit so you will be able to store everything you want there, but only limited to nonliving things. "
Creed looked at the ring amazed that the small object has an amazing function and listened to Haze for more explanation.
" first drop a blood in the ring to make it your possession before wearing it. "
Doing as what he was told he and bite his thumb and let the blood flow to the ring before wearing it. the ring changed it's size as it embed itself in his forefinger while Creed released a pained sound.
After the ring finished embedding itself in his skin Haze continued to explain.
" you can store the item you want just touching the object of your choice and you can get the items stored inside just thinking about it. "
Trying as what he was told he touched the fruits first.
*trring*
you have picked up a apple.
looking at the notification he moved to the other fruits storing all their remaining foods, then next he unpocketed the ores and also stored them inside the ring. searching for his other pocket he layed down the empty handle of sword in the ground as he looked at it again.
the empty sword handle has a peculiar design, it's color is black while some drawing were sculpted to it, but since the the handle is rusty he were having a second thought on what to do to it.
*trring*
can't store this item
a notification showed up as he decided to store the weapon for now and sell it for some money in the town if someone want it.
'what the hell, so this thing can't be stored, does that mean that this ring can't store a trash?'
" hey haze why can't i store this thing. "
pointing at the sword handle haze also stared at it and pondered for a bit showing a perplexed face as she doubt it and also due to her pride of their invention.
" maybe it can't store a trash? "
she tilted her head as she come up with the same thought as creed. he smiled wryly in response as he pondered for a bit before concluding that he will just have to pocket the handle since it isn't that heavy in the first place and also since it is the first japtem he got he had a expectation for it but at the same time he were also having a second thought on trowing it.
after storing all the item they embarked, travelling to east following the trail of the sun along the way.
after walking for almost half a day they finally reached the end of the forest.
'finally'
both of them looked revealed as they reached the open area at the end of the forest showing a lively town with two watchtower at the entrance, looking below the watch tower there were few soldier dressed in full armor excluding the visor while equipped with spear.
"so this is were i will bid my farewell creed. "
with a tear forming at the end of haze's eye she swallowed her breath and smiled a bit. even if their time together is short she considered him as a important comrade that gone through the challenge of life and death.
smiling wryly creed replied.
" don't worry i will visit you soon enough. "
" o-ok,*sniff* "
she removed the ball of water forming at the end of her face as she lifted her head and smiled again this time her smile is as bright as thousand suns.
" oh yeah creed, before entering the town let me remind you of something that i forgot to tell you. "
" yes? "
" please don't tell anyone your true name, i mean your birth name since some magicians has a skill to bind anyone with their true name, so some adventures choose to use aliases to prevent it from happening. "
he just nodded his head as he read some ancient book that written the same thing as what she told.
' so this will be my true starting point. '
he is excited as he were finally able to begin the game and to start his adventure, at the same time his blood were boiling as he want to conquer all the mysteries of this world and to stand at the top again.
" goodbye creed.... i will miss you. "
the last word were kept in her breath as she bid farewell while her body started to burr and vanish into thin air inside a magic circle with many letters unknown to him.
for the first time creed feels lonely being alone, as he reminiscence about the noisy rabbit and her lively attitude even her weirdness.
for the last time before he start his true beginning he looked at the sky and bid farewell to his comrade.
