I was woken up by a weak drizzle, the skies had turned gray with distant patches of blue.
My “bed” had gotten slippery and dark as the water passed through its almost invisible pores.
My hair was wet and I stank of sweat, the nearby bones of my past meal were gathering flies, which looked like a dark cloud because of their numbers. It really was impressive.
With a new outlook on life, I jumped down from the boulder and scared away the flies.
I gathered the smelly yellowish bones and threw them near some trees, the flies gathering again soon after.
Today is the day I get some clothes.
I grabbed my [Stone Spear] and marched towards the nearby plains in search of grass or some other material that would make for a good piece of “cloth”.
And it was a good idea.
The plains that I saw earlier were filled to the brim with grass that easily reached 4 meters in height.
After cutting down several tufts of grass with my [Stone Knife], I returned to what started to feel like my new home, the boulder.
The rain had gone away, the sky returning to its usual blue. I lit a fire easier than ever, and placed the grass near it to dry.
----------------------------------------
Some time had passed since I went out fishing, maybe forty minutes.
Returning to find some dried grass ready for weaving, I placed my freshly caught fish in the flat stone and gutted them, then placed them in skewers on top of the fire.

After choosing my Class Perk, I grabbed a long grass blade and split it horizontally in two.
The resulting strands were about 2m in length and 5cm thick, I then split these vertically with ease.
I repeated this process another 4 times and weaved the results into a simple rope.
[Survival Skills] really is useful.
Then, I cut even more grass and weaved it into a flat cloth, which I attached to the rope to make a grass skirt.
The resulting piece of clothing was a little itchy and uncomfortable, but I would get used to it.
It’s better than nothing.
----------------------------------------
The rest of the grass I gathered had completely dried up, and was now beige in color.
Now being hay, I figured that I could eventually use it as a bed or roof if I got more of it.
Remembering those videos of Indian guys building stuff in a forest, it probably wasn’t that hard to build a house from scratch.
I quickly ate my fish and stood up, grabbed my [Stone Knife] and went for more grass.
Time to make a house! … or something that resembles a house.
