Once we reach the top of the rope climb didn't let the little girl off my back I let her to the bedroom and let her sleep in there and rest. I gather medical supplies so i can bandage her up in myself elsa grab some ice packs for any pain or bruising. After that I went through all the items I collected from the mountain bull. I put on the enraged mountain chest plate and then I went over and drink the vial of blood while eating the brain to see if I could gain any skills like the item description suggested. I cooked the cow brain in a frying pan and poured the blood into the pan. Once the meal was done in cooked so it didn't seem toxic I pulled it off pan and set it on a plate ready to inspect what type of meal I made.

I really wanted to try out my new skill but decided against it since I'm indoors right now. The girl was fast asleep when I checked in on her. I pulled up the rope and went to sleep myself.
The next morning when I woke up the girl was sitting in the corner staring at the floor. "Hey I was gonna head out how about you tag along so you can get stronger."
She only nodded her head then stood up. I gave her a kitchen knife. "Be careful with this since it could hurt someone. Only use it if you feel like someone might hurt you."
We climbed down the rope then wandered on out of town into the forest area. We ran into her first opponent which was an overgrown maggot that had rows of sharp teeth. She was fearful of the maggot until I cut it with my shortsword knocking it down to a very unhealthy state. While it was squirming on the ground the girl stabbed it to death. "Finn a screen is in front of me."
"Cool! what does it say?"
"You have gained 5 xp and an item for your first monster kill. The item is a pupa. What does that do?"
"It's like an egg for insects. Pull out the pupa and focus on it."

She stared at the pupa for a minute. "It says: mystery pupa, rank mystery, quality average, remarks here you go dear."

I went over to loot the pig and I received the most magical item any mortal soul could ever come across.
Name: Bacon
Rank: Uncommon
Quality: average
Remarks: To you its a god but to me its fairly trash
"Shut your filthy mouth you wretched system! This is bacon here! This is my lifeblood!"
Surprisingly the system responded Yeah well fuck you too buddy. I didn't choose to be paired with you. I'm only with you because the gods said so.
"Don't get snarky with me!"
Listen mortal I can take away everything by spawning the fucking kraken on your ass!
"Fine but stop being a major dickhead about everything."
No.
I started to walk off with the girl back towards my house. "Hey I gotta ask what is your name?"
She looked up at me angry "Finn you babysat me a few times it's me Sarah!"
"Wait you mean doodle on the walls with a sharpie girl? Oh my god you gave me mini heart attacks every time I babysat you."
"Well at least you keep me safe now and I don't draw on any walls."
"True."
With that we walked in silence till we got back to the house. Once we climbed back up she went to sleep for the night and I packed away all the loot. We got 31 X Vials (maggot), 6 X Vials (Horned rabbit), 4 X horns (Horned rabbit), 6 Pelts (Horned rabbit), and 9 X bacon strips (Forest pig).
After that I also went to bed.
Once it was morning I just laid there in bed wondering how long this type of life would last. I wondered how long until the fixing was over and how many people were left alive. Of course the system felt like raining on my day.
Time till fixing is over: 4.7 billion/ 500 million human lives
Well damn that means within a few days 2.9 billion people have died off. I wonder if the number keeps falling or if it is stagnant.
Oh trust me it is falling still. The rate is now 200 million humans die a day. If this rate continues the fixing will be over in about 20~ish days. So have fun Finn.
I felt like it was possible that maybe me and sarah would outlive the rest just by hiding in the house and hunting for food. Undisturbed and left alone. Then I hear a knocking on the front door
