Chapter 4: The Beginning!

Tristan's body began to heal, the speed of his recovery accelerating with his level up.

Tristan slowly began to regain consciousness.

"uh-huh, where am I?" Then his eyes widened. "Wait, where are the monsters?" Looking back. "Oh right, I already killed the monsters."

Tristan tried to get up and suddenly remembering the wound on his shoulder.

*Touching his shoulder* "Wait, my wounds are healed? How? Is this the innate ability of this body? I want to experiment now but" *Looking at the monsters body* "I need to bury these monster bodies first before attracting others monsters."

Tristan picked up his stone spear and look around the cliffside, searching for a suitable spot to bury the monster bodies.

"Over here, there's a good spot. I'll bury them between these two trees." Tristan returned to the cave. "Before I buried them let me check their body first." *Taking off the monsters clothes* "Eeww, the smell is sooo bad, and it's ripped, but in my situation this is a treasure, I need to wash them in the river later, and then.." *picking up the knifes and bow from the ground* "This definitely a treasure, I can't use the bow yet but I can craft the arrow later, let's put them in the cave."

Tristan put all the items he found in the cave and lift the monsters bodies one by one to the spot he found. "fiuh.., I don't know why, but I don't feel tired for lifting these bodies, anyway let's start digging." It didn't take long for Tristan to finish digging the hole.

"Throw them in, put the dirt back, anddd done, Let's go back I'm thirsty as hell." *Rustle* *rustle* "what is that?!, is that monsters again?" *take a look behind the tall bushes* "That's a wild boar, I'm glad that is not a monster, even better, I'll catch it for food." *imagining roasted pig while salivating* "But I can't do that now, I have to make the preparation first, let's head back to the cave, I know where it is I can look for it again later." Tristan heading back to the cave.

"Okay, I have to go to the river and wash this dirty clothes while picking up some berries."

At the river. *Tristan peeking behind a tree, looking right, looking left several times* "Clear, no monster in sight." Tristan drink and wash his clothes, the clothes from the monsters, and cleaning him self from the goblins blood earlier. "I know in most of the comics I read the smell of the goblin clothes is awful but no, this is not awful; It's terrible, I wish I had a washing powder now."

A several dozen minutes later.

"Okay, I'm done, I just need to wait to my clothes dry, let's eat berries that I picked up on my way here." Tristan eats the berries while enjoying the view. "Mann, the view here is so good, I can stay here and watch it forever, the sky, the river, the mountain, wait...."

Tristan was startled to see something in the direction of the mountain.

"Wh... What is that?, Are my eyes deceiving me? I see some kind of dark aura over there, Is there something over there? Or is that the center of this forest? Whatever is there, my comic and gamer instincts tell me that the last boss of this forest is in there. I have a bad feeling let's back to the cave and get prepare for increases my chance survive in this forest." Tristan heading back to the cave while picking up some berries on the way.

*Sitting in the cave*

"Okay, I have to make a plan, first I need food, for having a food I have to hunt, for hunting I can't rely my own strength, I have to make a trap around here, a big trap, so I can use it for killing monster if they are spawn around here, throwing one stone for having two birds, damn I'm smart." *Shaking his head* "Focus, I don't have time for praising my self, and then what should I do for making a trap? first I have to make a deep and wide hole and fill it with a lot of spear inside so the traps can injured or even killed the prey, for making spear I have to gather sticks made from strong branches and stone knife, I can make stone knife by carving one stone with another, and then I need a rope to tied them together, I can make a rope from bark or fibers from a tree, okay that's it for the traps." *Eating berry*

"Next is fire, I have to make fire for cooking food and for warmth at night, I realizing it's very cold at night when the first night I slept, for making a fire I need a flammable material to ignite quickly, I can use dry fibers or bark from a tree that I gather for making rope for the spears, and then I need some weak and dry twig or branches for kindling, to helping the flames go stronger, then the fire pit, I have to make sure I don't light the fire near any flammable object and put stones in circle to make the fire pit, after that here comes the hard part."

*Eating berry* " I have to make fire in an old-school way, for that I have to prepare a straight, dry stick about six to twelve inches long for the spindle, and a flat piece of softwood for the fire board, and then I have to carve a small dip in the fireboard, and make notch next to it to catch the amber, then I sharpen one end of the spindle for placing it in the dip of fire board, and then start to rolling it between my palms until it turns into amber form, damn, how can I know all of this? I remember I read this in some comics but, I didn't expect that I know all about it."

*Get up* "Now I know what to do, I have to gather all the material before the sun goes down," Tristan go gather all the material for making traps and fire while picking a lot of berries along the way.

*The sunlight begin turn into orange*

"Fiuh.., finally I can gather all the material, all I have to do now is to make a fire, because night was approaching." Preparing the tools and the material for making fire. "Now all I have to do is rolling this stick with my hand" *rolling his hand as fast as he can* "There it is, there it is, there is the amber, I have to carefully move it to a nest of dry tinder that I have prepared and gently blow on it until it catches fire, it's grow, the fire grow, okay now as the flames grow, I have to add small twigs and then larger pieces of wood to keep the fire going." *The fire is blazing* "Yes, I did it, I did it in the first try, I know I am genius." *Speaking with a funny proud smile on his face* "I make the fire pit near the entrance of the cave so the smoke didn't fill the entire cave. That's it for today, my body doesn't feel tired yet but, I have to keep my mind well rested to overcome what happened tomorrow." Tristan go to sleep while talking to the fire. "Good night fire."
