The drumming of the rain had gone away and the sky slowly returned to its normal blue. Critters emerged from the ground and the plants appeared greener, the smell of rain still fresh.
I stepped outside, hopping over the water filled trench. The mud unpleasantly squished between my toes as I walked through it. I traveled to the previously calm river, which was now a raging mass of water and debris. There were no fish in sight and I hadn't eaten since the rain started. It was around 3pm from what I could tell, and I was getting hungry.
I returned to my hut and grabbed my [Stone Spear]. The blood-tinted dice managed to stay halfway into the wall, until I picked it up. It had just a few scratches and a slight crack, which were not there after fixing it with [Geomancer]. The System probably reinforces whatever I craft, which gave me an idea. I disassembled the [Stone Spear] and activated [System Crafting]. After thinking about a stone spear, a notification popped up.

The [Stone Spear] was basically perfect this time around, it had no visible imperfections and the head was firmer. I stepped out for the second time, and headed directly to the deep of the forest in search of food. Everything was still wet due to the heavy rainfall, and only a few animals were around. Traveling along the river, I saw a group of coatimundis. These animals were usually just around half a meter long, but this group's average length was probably two meters. I disliked the idea of killing an entire group just to eat one, like how I had done with the iguanas, so I dispersed the group with a shout and went after the largest individual.
The coati was fast, but my spear was faster. With a swift strike coming from my end, the creature was done for. I tried lifting the animal up, but being the size of a tiger with shorter legs, I couldn't lift it. And so, I dragged the creature all the way back. Every millimeter of its body got covered with mud, some even drying as I dragged it along. When I reached my hut, the thing was basically a mud statue. I grabbed my pot and filled it with water at the river, then carefully cleaned the body. My [Stone Knife] proved very useful at skinning this time, like a hot knife through butter. I lit up a fire and placed the pot on top of it, some water and meat inside of it. I also put in some herbs which I remembered my mother teaching me about.
The resulting stew was anything but gourmet. It didn't really taste bad, it was kind of bordering on good, actually. But it definitely looked depressing, the stew's colors were a mix of brown and dark green. And it was also certain, this was the best meal I had made so far. The mangoes tasted better, yes, but this was something that I made, and it made me proud.
I didn't really have much to do now, having finished my hut and having dinner prepared for later. I grabbed the dice and made it float again, making the dice spin vertically instead of horizontally. I pointed my [Stone Spear] towards a nearby tree and applied two forces on the dice, one that would maintain the position of it, and the other would push the dice in a specific direction. After a few seconds, I retired the first force. The dice shot directly into the tree, going directly through it and making nearby birds fly off in fear.

It looks like I have a new weapon, and a ranged one at that!
