Enjoy! Sorry for another late chapter (well, I’m not really sorry I guess because if I was this wouldn’t have happened again…), but I am still going to apolizgize. Also sorry to the guy that I said about next chapter coming out in a day or two. As I said before i had exams to study for (and i was lazy...) and will still have exams, so my releases may vary quite a lot. Since this came out late or took longer, the chapter is going to be a bit longer than the last one as well.
Chapter 4
*Uwahh*
Crawling out from under the covers, I find the shining sun high in the air. Ah another wonderful morning. Staring at the calm sea, I bask in the nice warm sunlight for a few moments. Satisfied for now, I get out of bed and onto the soft cozy sand. However one can never have enough of the sun, so I close my eyes and let my body relish in the sunlight. Twirling around I enjoyed what nature had to offer. As my thoughts come together, I realize how embarrassing this is. Me, n-naked, flaunting my body out there f-for everyone to see… I quickly grab the blanket and with a quick jolt, I started getting dressed. Tinged with a pink glow on my cheeks, I walk towards the shore.
At, the shore I kneel and I start washing my face, trying not to get any water onto my blanket. Finishing up my face, I grew a bit tired so I sat down unknowingly into the seiza position. Although this is my first time, I didn’t feel too uncomfortable. With the sand under my feet as a cushion, it felt rather nice instead. But, I will still need time to get use to it. Also, this position was perfect for my current attire. No one is looking up my dress now! Yes I know, this is also the only piece of clothing I own.
Feeling quite proud of my new discovery, I headed off to breakfast in a good mood. Hmm, I wonder if the fruits are still fresh. It would be nice if they are, I don’t want to watch fruit rot away. But then again, I already have fruit rotting away. That pile of devious poisonous fruits that cause me great pain the first day I was here. Uh, thinking about it, still gives me the shudders. Arriving at my piles of stuff, I find the last of my food supple. Kneeling down again into the seiza position, probably going to be my new main sitting position till I get something else to wear, I examine my fruits. Looking at it from a few angles, I found that very little changed. The only difference I found was that it lost a bit of the luster it had when freshly picked. Mn, it can’t be too bad, I mean people leave baskets of fruits on the table for days and they still eat it. It can’t be too different right? Half convinced, I pick up a fruit and took a big bite out of it. Taking a few chews, I find the fruit to retain a large portion of its flavor, except a tiny bitterness snuck in. Which to my suspicion is probably due to the skin. Taking my last bite, breakfast was over.
Content, it was now time to meditate again. Why? Well I want to use magic or something. I failed yesterday. True, but there is a saying “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again”. So I am going to try until I succeed. Besides it feels really comfy when I meditate. I walk over to the shore, sitting near the water; I began my so called meditation. And before I knew it I feel asleep.
…
*grrrrr*
Waking up to my natural alarm clock, it was lunch time! I get up, stretch my arms, and I dash off to the green lush forest. Searching around the edge of the forest, I picked up fruits that I could recognize as safe. While I picked the fruits, I also spent some time observing the large variety of colorful flowers. Even though I wasn’t a flower fanatic, looking at these stunning flowers still fills me with awe each time. With around 20 fruits gathered, it was time to head back for lunch. Walking back to my ‘dining’ area, I placed my fruits down and began lunch. Listening to the wind and the occasionally waves, time flew by and lunch was over. Despite finishing lunch, I still sat their enjoying the nature as I waited for my stomach to settle down before doing some training.
…
Ah, time for training. Let’s see, how should I do this? Hmmm, let’s go with 3 sets of one push-ups and a run. What? I know it’s only one push up, but I have to start somewhere, right? Anyways let start. Getting into push up position, I go down for my first push up. And just like yesterday, pushing up was as hard as ever.
*Nggggggggggggggggh*
…
*Huah hah*
C-com-compl-*pants*-eted f-first set.
*pufwa*
Falling over I was sprawled over the sand, catching my breath and strength for the second set. Aaaaa, I can’t believe a baby is so weak. Back then I was able to do ten push up without having to every train for it. After who knows how long, I went onto the second set. Like the first set, the second one also ended with me panting on the sand. The third as well.
…
*sigh*
I hope the running goes a bit better at least. I stand up and I bend over to touch my toes. I don’t want cramps, yanno. Wow, I can touch the sand beneath my toes. I wonder what else I can do. Aaa, let’s try doing a split. Standing with my feet together I slowly inch them apart. And in a matter of seconds, I was doing like a 150 degrees split. Due to my excitement and lack of pain, I immediately dropped down to a 180 degrees split. Luckily I am quite flexible or I would be rolling pain. However… I got sand all over… In a state of slight panic due to the discomfort and embarrassment, I ran to the shore to get myself cleaned.
…
With my new found talent, I decided to try out other stuff gymnast and yoga people do. I first tried to become a bridge, which I think was successful. I couldn’t really tell because my head was pointed towards the ground and I was looking in the opposite direction of where my body was. Then I tried sitting cross legged with both feet above my legs. This also caused no pain, but it was less exciting compared to a split. Since I could always sit like this but with a great amount of discomfort in my old life. Next on my list was doing a vertical split. What’s a vertical split? It’s when you pick your leg up and point towards the sky while standing still. Like the others this also caused no pain, but I had trouble balancing and I couldn’t maintain it for more than a few seconds. After doing the vertical split I started to ponder about how useful this would be.
*imagines running through the forest*
Jumping over obstacles or ducking under them, running on the side of the trees, jumping from tree to tree, and etc. Wasn’t I trying out stuff? I was, b-but I had nothing else on my list… Those were the only things I could think of to try… I-I know more stuff, just can’t think of them right at this moment alright!? Anyways what was I doing. Yoga, …, stretching, run-Aah, that’s right, I was stretching so I could train my stamina. Okay let’s go.
I started running along the beach, looking around, appreciating the scenery, and making sure to breathe correctly. After what seemed like five minutes, I started to get tired. So I turned around and began to run back.
*pants*
Running out of steam I started walking. Walking for another few minutes, I finally reached the imprints of where I was sprawled over. Arriving back at my living area, I walked around a bit. Why? Well it’s bad for you to immediately sit. How is it bad? I don’t know, but a lot of people as well as my parents say it is bad, so I assume it’s bad. The parents from my old life, in case you thought I was talking about now. I thought that it would take a lot longer for me to catch my breath and settle down. But it was quite quick, instead of the tens of minutes it use to take me after a run. Yes, I know I was very unhealthy. I spent hours every day on the computer and the only exercised I had was travel to and fro from university. Now that I’ve settled down, it’s time to work on the camp fire I was making.
Grabbing the two sticks I used yesterday, I began the rigorous work of fire making; using the indentation from yesterday’s attempt. Spinning the sticks between my hands, I carefully observed the hole I was making. As I mindlessly grinded away at the larger stick, smoke started to appear. However I wasn’t so excited, because smoke appeared yesterday too and I got no fire. Working hard at it, my arms quickly grew tired. Seeing how no results had appeared yet. I took a break. But this wasn’t a simple break, because I spent this time observing and moving away the black stuff that piled up from the grinding. Looking through it, I saw what appears to be ember. Being careful not to touch because of the heat it gave off; I realized this is what should create the fire. Just like the incense sticks that burned with barely any fire. Yet, the ember went out with the fatigue that went away. Brimming with confidence and a clue of what to do, I once again went at it.
Hours passed by before I finally succeeded and the sun has already set. Feeling a little sweaty and accomplished with the fire, I had a quick wash at the shore. Without waiting for me to dry, I rushed back to the now full blown fire. Watching the bright yellowy-orange flame flickering and licking the air filled me with pride. My very own fire made by my hands was now crackling with noise as it burned fiercely in the wind. Even the grey smoky ribbon that is being whisked away by the wind was mesmerizing. This fire was especially nice in contrast to the dark night sky and sea. As I relished in the warmth, I began to grow tired and hungry. So I had dinner as I watched the fire.
If someone was look down upon this scene, they would see a marvelous creepy sight. A small baby sitting alone on a beach staring at the fire in amazement like an arsonist watching a house burn down as if it was a fascinating piece of art. Soon the child started to undress and lay out a blanket, that the child would then wrap itself with and fall asleep. Aria would now spend each and every day like this exploring new things once in a while as she lived in the embrace of nature.

Admiring the tiny glowing flames of the campfire, my heart fluttered with excitement. Watching the flame devour and thrive on the wood gave me a deep sense of satisfaction and comfort. I’m not a sadist or a sociopath, Okay? I just think fire is very pretty and after days of hard work, I can finally start a fire within two or three tries. Days of hard work? Yes days of hard work, it has been four days since I first succeeded in making a fire. Over these past few days, I’ve have been repeatedly trying to make a fire even after I already started one. Thanks to the repeated practice, I’ve figured out what types of leaves and branches work the best.
Although this should be a joyous occasion, a wave of gloom quickly washes over the gratification in her heart. Ugh, what do I do now? These past few days have been getting more and more boring because of the free time created from gaining the ability to start a fire easily. At first I was quite excited with the extra time I got, so I played around in the sand. The sand? Aren’t you a little too old to be pla-NO! I’m not too old, I’m only 18. Besides I rarely went to the beach because I hated getting sand everywhere, especially in my mouth. What about now? W-well I’ve gotten use to it okay! Living, sleeping, eating, and doing other things on the beach has made me adapt.
*hmph*
Anyways, I played in the sand, I made sand castles, drew pictures, tried solving some physics and math problems, tried writing simple programs, and even started a calendar. Programing? Calendar? Math? Physics? Yes, programming, math, physics, and a calendar alright. I was majoring in computer science because it was the only thing I was good at. So I tried making a calculator using a stack, practiced Dijkstra’s shortest path algorithm, and some binary heap problems. Why? Well these were the last things I learned about in university. I did the same for math and physics. But after I finished, I realized how I will never use any of this again except maybe simple mathematics and physics. However I am not good at high level physics… Well the calendar came up because I wanted to keep track of my fire making progress and counting the days seemed tedious, I am also quite forgetful so I now have a calendar. Even though the calendar only has the days since I have been born it is good enough for me.
Now what should I do? I’m already bored of playing in the sand… Hmm, let’s do something productive then, but not too much work… Ah, I should explore along the beach, since I have already explored the forest. I didn’t explore the forest? Well, I explored it enough to know it’s filled with dangerous beasts and probably monsters as well, kay. So I stand up and grab a few fruits and tie them up with my blanket for my exploration. Which side should I go? Left? Or right? To the right is my restroom…, so I guess left. Turning towards the left, I began to walk along the beach. Even though looking into the distance, all I saw was more beach. There might be some hidden treasure, cave, or something. Walking along the beach I carefully observed my surroundings as well as enjoying the nice stroll. I also occasionally checked the edge of the forest to see if there were new fruits I could try, but most of them were the same. Except a few that I collected. And when I came upon a giant rock, I would inspect its surroundings and push it a few times to see if it would budge. I know it won’t budge from a baby pushing it, but it’s worth the try. Why do I assume something is hidden within these rocks? Well, why are there giant and other varying sizes of rocks on the beach? The rocks are also separated by tens of meters of beach. So isn’t it suspicious and should be checked? Yet I obtained nothing special from checking the rocks, they just seem like normal rocks.
Then before I knew it, the sun had started to set. With my new pile of around fifteen fruits, I started walking back. Observing the sunset, I reveled in magnificent colors of the sun, sky, and sea. Arriving back at my ‘home’, I placed my fruits in a third pile and went to take a nice bath. After taking a bath, I ate one more piece of fruit as I watched the sun disappear beyond the horizon and the stars pop into existence in the night sky. The following day I went to the right and I had the same result. The day after that, I had a revelation, that I could practice swimming. Since It could prove to be a useful skill. But I always made sure that I wasn’t too deep or too far away from the shore. And the day after that, I fell into the depths of hell as I tested that new pile of fruits. I was also surprised I made it out of their alive.

*grrrrrrrrr*
Waking up to my natural alarm clock, it was lunch time! I walk over to my stockpile of fruits and began eating lunch. As I ate, I thought about something weird that I have noticed about this forest. Today is day fourteen or the end of the second week and I haven’t seen a single beast or monster since day one. Shouldn’t I be happy? Well I am happy that I have not encountered anything dangerous. But there has to be a reason why I have not met a single creature other than that giant cat. And to make the situation stranger, is the fact that I am living next to a pretty clean water source. There are probably other water sources, but why do none of them use this one? See?! Isn’t this weird? That’s why I think there might be very little monsters living in this forest and that day I just happen to encounter one. Or it could just be the poisonous fruits. However they could just not eat them, making this explanation unlikely. So I have worked up my courage over these few days to explore the forest again.
Wrapping up lunch, I stand up and take a long look at the forest. Taking a deep breath, I begin walking towards the forest. Arriving at the very edge of this dense forest, I take a few minutes to steel my nerves before heading in. Traversing through this forest slowly and carefully, I try my best to pay attention to my surrounds. Feeling the damp leaves beneath my feet and the humid air as I walk deeper in,
*Rawr*
I hear a low howl in the distance. Being frightened by the sound, I stop in my tracks and rush towards the nearest tree to hide. As repeated roars echo out, although quite low, it happened in rapid succession. Hmm, there’s probably a fight going on somewhere. Waiting for like forever, the sound finally fades away. After the roars die off, I waited another minute or two before moving out again. Just in case, yanno. Continuing through the forest, trying to be more sensitive to my surroundings than ever
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
*bang*
I suddenly hear another sound off in the distance. This sound however was not a howl or a roar, but more like something or someone was being hit. Again, I ran to hide and wait against a tree. Then to my left I hear a rustle, turning my head I see what seems to be a grey bear in midair coming towards. This bear was huge, though I have never seen a bear before; I can tell this bear is gigantic compared to me. It also had no fur; instead it had a layer of what seems to be leathery skin that showed of its large muscles. Not observing the bear like creature any longer I turned towards what I think is the direction of the beach and run. Yet it was already too late, the bear was almost upon me, so all I could do was close my eyes in fright and brace myself for the impact as I run. Despite what seemed like my demise, nothing happened, ope-
*slam*
Owowow, stumbling back, I open my eyes to find I have run into a tree. Rubbing my nose, as tears spill out of my eyes, I start running again this time avoiding the tree. However, I take a quick peek back and find the giant bear monster taking a swing at a giant dark moss green snake with blood red eyes hanging from a tree where I stood before. The snake however quickly dodges and a five large gash is left on the trunk of the tree behind the snake. Then the bear turns towards me and starts dashing towards me. Before it even traversed 5 meters, the giant snake had already coiled around it dragging it back. Without paying any more attention to the battle happening behind me, I turn around just in time to avoid the tree I was going to run into. Although this took a long time to describe, it all happened in a matter of seconds.
Gyaaaaa, m-my n-no-nose, i-it’s bleeding! Seeing the blood flowing from my nose, a deep sense of fear filled my mind and heart. This is the first time; I have ever had a nose bleed. To make matters worse, I soon felt something flowing down between my eyes and it wasn’t my tears. Touching it with my hands, it turns out it is blood. With my reason being replaced with nonsensical thoughts about my survival, my future and etc. I ran mindlessly through the forest, taking constant breaks in between, each break lasting longer and longer as I waddled in a pool of anxiety, despair and panic. Who knows how long it took before my ‘home’ finally appeared in my sights. When I made it out of the deadly forest, I was around twenty meters away from where I entered. In spite of reaching my comfort zoning, I still ran ahead towards the ocean. Have to wash myself clean! Washing the blood off my face, I was careful to avoid my injuries because I’m afraid of messing something up. Once I finished cleaning my face, I walked back to the beach.
*pufwa*
Without making it even halfway, the girl fell into the sand.
*Nngggghh*
Waking up, I found that it was now sunset. Ugh, w-wh-what happened? Holding my aching head in my hands, I recall the disaster that happened in the forest. That decides it I am never going into the forest again till I am strong enough. No matter what happens I am not leaving this place.
*hmph*
As the pain wore off, I stood up and walked back towards my piles of fruit and campfire. I spent a few moments starting a fire, which I can now do within two tries, and began having dinner. Eating three fruits after an exhausting day, I watched the beauty that Mother Nature had to offer, before going off to bed.

Floating on the crystal blue ocean as I take a break from my swimming practice, I stare off into the sky. Watching the big white fluffy clouds float by, I let my imagination run wild. I have recently gotten quite good at swimming. Even though I often swallow a mouthful of water, when I try to breathe, I finally have a grasp of the technique used to breathe while swimming. However the practice is also quite painful, as it leaves me coughing up a storm at times. Sometimes I feel like throwing up even. But that has yet to happen. Besides that I also got use to opening my eyes underwater, disregarding the fact that I only felt a slight discomfort on the first try, it is still a great accomplishment.
Another nine days has passed since that incident. With the wound slowly healing, a scab has formed on my forehead. I just hope I don’t get a scar… Anyways I am starting to get bored of the swimming. Don’t get me wrong, swimming and playing in the water is very enjoyable and fun. It’s just the hours that I probably spend doing it every day is getting to me, so I want to find something else to do. I-it d-definitely has nothing to do with me getting wrinkle skin from staying in the water too long. Besides I haven’t even gotten wrinkly skin from all the times I practiced swimming. But it’s better to be safe than sorry! That’s why I’m taking this break, so my imagination can work something out. What do I see now? Well, I see one cloud looking like a certain legendary water type monster from a game where you have to catch them all. There’s also this cloud far of in the distance that looks like an ogre or some large fat man swinging a club. The club is also leaving behind a trail of dust as it is being swung down. Then the one right above me looks like a person kowtowing but he has a pig like head with two horns coming out of the side of his head. One of his horns is broken and the dark look in his eyes, give me the chills. As I gaze at the clouds, I move from one cloud to another trying to see what they look like. Some of the clouds just looked like clouds, so I skipped them.
After an unknown amount later, I find three thin clouds coming out or overlapping a larger cloud. This set of clouds reminded me of a certain superhero that could grow three claws out of his hands. With my mind occupied on that superhero, it leads me to think of how cool it would be if I could replicate that in this world. It would be an awesome weapon or at least a useful tool for like climbing, cutting and other stuff. Imagining the things I could do with it, I realized I should start making some weapons. For self-defense, not fighting though. It’s too scary to fight with homemade weapons and ones made by me no less. Feeling inspired, I quickly swam back to the shore and dashed into the forest to gather some sticks and some rocks. I found some smaller sticks to practice with and some sharp and rugged rocks.
Settling down next to my fireplace, I start a fire before I begin my project. Grabbing a rugged rock, I started shaving away at one end of the stick. Spinning the stick slowly as I scraped at the end of the stick, trying to make a point. Working at it till sundown, I created my first ‘weapon’. It is a stick with both ends sharped. Yes, I know it is quite lame, but it took many tries and sticks to make it. Yet it looked really ugly with the uneven points, roughly sharpened ends, and one side was even really dull because I chipped it while I scraped at it with the rock. Anyways, it’s time to test it! Holding the middle of the stick I stab it into the sand. The stick easily sunk down into the sand, reaching up to where I held it. Finding the feeling satisfying and also entertaining, I gave it a few more stabs.
*grrrrrrrr*
Ah, I guess it’s time for dinner. Leaving my stuff next to the fireplace, I picked my dinner and ate it as I stargazed. With many ideas popping through my mind as to what else I could build. Maybe I could build a house, a sword, an axe, a bowl, and etc. Finishing my dinner, I decided to go to bed as it was probably quite late. Taking off my blanket, I made the bed, and snuggled up before falling asleep.

*Uwahh*
Waking up under the covers, I poke my head out to see how cold it was today. Why? It’s because the wonderful days of warmth have passed by. At first I thought it was just cold that one day, but as the days went by and the temperatures stayed low, I realized that fall has come. Well, I think it’s the fall, I can’t really tell because it is only the sixth day since this cold has rolled in. This is also the first time such a thing has happened in the one hundred and eighteen days I’ve been here. I also can’t believe I was trick by the so called white sandy beach, lush green forest and clear blue ocean into thinking that it was going to be nice all year round.
Anyways once my head was fully exposed, a gust of chilly wind smacked right into my face. Although it’s not so cold that it’s unbearable, I could still feel my face start to freeze over. Quickly getting out of bed, I hastily got dressed. Yet it was this haste that slowed me down. As the wind bombards my naked body, I began to shiver uncontrollably and I fumble as I try to get dressed. And to make matters worse, my new attire was no longer just a simple dress and cape. I now used the cape portion to wrap around both my arms several times before tucking it in to get long sleeves. Becoming a long sleeved dress. Now that I am dressed, I walk over to my fireplace to start a fire, update the calendar to day 118 and eat breakfast. Sitting in a seiza position, which I am grateful I got used to, because I can keep my legs warm under the hem of my dress. Finishing up breakfast, I remain seated, closing my eyes and falling into the deep meditative state that I have come to love.
*plit plat*
Huh?
*plip*
Roused by drops of probably water hitting my face, I open my eyes to see a mass of dark clouds overhead. Awwww, what do I do now? I don’t have a house or a roof… Mn, I should probably hide out in the forest. Dashing towards the forest, the rain started to pick up momentum becoming a rain shower by the time I arrive at the edge of the forest. Taking one step into the bushes
*squish*
I feel a messy, mushy substance under my feet. Looking down I find what I expected. The dirt has already transformed into clumps of mud like poop. Feeling disgusted by the sight, I took a step back. I come to find the sand has also become quite unpleasant. Well it’s not just the sight; I just don’t like mud in general. Looking around to find somewhere else to take shelter, all I see is beach, rocks, and the ocean. Hmmm, since I going to get wet anyways, I might as well going into the ocean. Besides during high school, I had swim class and we had to swim in fifteen degrees Celsius water. So it can’t be too bad, I’ll also be able to clean of all the stuff I got on my feet. Not only that, I have also become quite good at swimming. Thus, I took off running towards the beach.
Arriving at the shore I quickly enter the water. What about my dress, well it’s already wet and I can also use it as a swimming suit. Though it will be my first time, I don’t mind. Hovering in the water, I soon became bored with nothing to do in this gloomy environment. Ugh, what did I do during swimming class? I learned how to swim, had races, played water polo, held my breath, floated, and uhh, what else? … I can’t remember. Let’s see out of these options, I can float and see how long I can hold my breath. Let’s try holding my breath. Although this is not the first time I have done it, I have never tried to see how long I can do it since I was reincarnated. But I did find out I can hold my breath for at least a few minutes during all the time I spent in the water, which is already better than my previous record of one minute and fourteen seconds.
Feeling enthusiastic, I take in a deep breath and submerge my head in water. Staring at the sand for what seems to be five minutes, I was starting to get bored. Not surprised? That’s because it’s within my prediction based on my previous experiences. How? I think it might be because I’m not human or humans are strong in this world. This would also explain the black splotches on my body. I’m actually quite excited to find out what I might be. Maybe I’m a demon or half something. I could even be an entirely new species, according to my knowledge of light novels. Filled with boredom and a new insight, I began to swim around exploring this underwater world as well as envisioning the adventures and abilities I could have.
Swimming further than ever before due to my occupied mind, a change in the ocean floor occurs. From just white sand to a rocky-sandy area. With grain textured rocks of varying dull colors like grey, black, mixtures of dark yellow and brown scattered all throughout. Traveling a bit further more and more rocks began to appear. The surrounding has also gotten quite a bit dark, waking me up from my daydream. Taking a careful look around, I find myself fairly deep in the ocean. And up ahead, I notice an array of darkly colored plants and what I assume is coral. Or maybe they aren’t darkly colored, but in this badly lit environment it makes me clammy, anxious, and nervous. Especially with brain like rocks, fuzzy wires used in arts and crafts like plants, pores filled rocks, meat like slabs waving slowly around, and etc. But what creeped me out the most was the never ending darkness that lay behind those plants.
Not knowing what laid beyond frightens me. I-it’s normal to be scared alright. Wouldn’t you be too if you were stuck in the middle of the ocean, not knowing what laid beneath your feet. All you can see is darkness, without knowing if a shark or some other monster would jump out and swallow you whole or take a bite out of you? Well the bite thing wouldn’t be too scary because you would probably die. But if you ended up stuck in the stomach of something for days starving to death would be torture. Just thinking about it gives me the chills and shivers, so I quickly back away. Heading back to the shore, never coming here again even if there is sunlight. Getting back to the shore, my head pops out of the water to find that it is still raining. Still bored, I decided to head back down.
*grrrrrrr*
Playing around underwater, I seem to have lost track of time and it was time for lunch. So I pop my head back out to find that it has stopped raining. Getting out of the water I start walking back to the extinguished fire for lunch.
*splosh*
Taking my first step onto the beach, I find the uncomfortable, squishy feeling under my feet again. Ahh, I forgot about the wet sand.
*sigh*
Whatever, going to have to get use to this sooner or later. Arriving at the fireplace, I was about to sit down, before realizing the sand was still wet. Uhhh, where do I eat lunch now… Guess I have to go back to the ocean… Grabbing a few fruits I head back to the ocean to eat lunch.

Walking through the dry forest again was truly pleasurable; the rainy season is finally over. I think. It hasn’t rained over the past nineteen days and today is day two hundred and sixty one. I know two-thirds of a year has pasted and I am still alive and well. I’m quite proud of my survivability. But with this good news also came some bad news. I have run out of fruits in my general area… At least the fruits I like. So I have to walk like one hundred fifty meters every few days to get food. Thanks to that I have decided move my base like three hundred meters to my left, the opposite direction of bathroom. So I also designated a new bathroom area. With these new changes, I had a long farewell to my home before moving on since I had plenty of time. Settling into the new place is probably goi-shut up it doesn’t look exactly the same… There’s a rock over an-and … Well it’s a new chapter of life
*hmph*

Once again thank you for reading, I hope my character is consistent in her personality. I would be grateful if people can point out any glaring plot holes or mistakes/misunderstandings my story has so far. If there are contradicting things please point it out, or things I forgot. And any other suggestions as well.
(Also I copied and paced from last chapter was lazy so …)
P.S. Sorry about the blocks of text >.<
