I stared at the flames with a blank look in my eyes. My clothes smelled like smoke and my throat is sore from all the coughing

After countless failures, I finally lit a fire without the smoke suffocating me

There was a blob just above the flames, far enough not to hurt it and close enough to clean out the smoke

So... I made an air filter from a blob

Knowing that it could clean sh*t was nice but how I learned it was not very nice

I also learned one thing

Fire could hurt blobs! That had been revolutionary for me. Finally something that could hurt those things

I took out my water bottle and used the flames to boil it, Its made of aluminum so it's fine

At my side there's a skinned rat with a stick skewered through it. I don't know how to cook... rats so I figured I just roast it after skinning the thing

I am desperate okay...! And I don't want to eat blobs..

I let the water boil awhile, there were smoke coming out from its cap, since I've decided it would be a bad idea to let the air be trapped there. I waited for a while before deciding its enough and took it out using a stick

"Welp here goes"

I put the rat inside the flames, the fire immediately covered it and dye the rat black. I rotated the stick so the rat won't be burnt

Roasting was not my specialty or just cooking in general, I also don't know how to clean properly or even wash the dishes

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Housework are not my specialty

But coming here, I need to do them. My parents would have been surprised....

I rotated the stick once more. Why do I even feel hunger if I am in a game? Is this really rea- No! Don't be stupid, there's a literal gelatin ball infront of you

"Is this okay?" I asked no one in particular

The rat have been in the flames for about a minute. I scratched my head and shrugged, that's long enough

I took the rat out and inspected it, it was charred in sole side and the others are looking mighty pink

"May I not die in food poisoning!" I shouted and take a bite

The rat is hot. That was a given. It is chewy and weird tasting and what's more it feels...

"Fu- bleh gross f*ck! This doesn't taste like chicken at all!" I spit out the rat meat and quickly rushed to drink my newly BOILED water bottle

"Shwet mai tang is burnt!!!!" Then I choked

"Co-cough f*ck, Why!??? Cough agghhh!" Tears formed in my eyes as I continued coughing out the water

I dropped to my knees and accidentally spilled some of my water to me

"Sh*********t!!!!" I cried out

My first ever handcooked meal ended in failure.... What's worse is that I have no choice but to finish it

Help me

I changed my shoes into my extra pair, they were my shoes for my gym class. I was thankful I decided to put it in my bag instead of my locker since my old ones are pretty f*cked up

"Here" I handed out the blob a piece of the plant I took

The blob wobbled and immediately gobbled up the plant. I flinched in suprise, not expecting for it to react that much

In its insides. There was bubbles bubbling up inside of it, the plant is quickly turning into nothing but tiny little blue motes in the blob's body

Then the blobs body lit up for a moment, then flickered down. It looks like the blob is more transparent than before

The blob wobbled again and happily jiggled around and while I blinked

"I've risked my life for a light show...?"

I really hate parasites

My hand did a stroke, the pencil moved with my hands and drew a line over

Then I write two words

DEAD and END

I then looked for another page, settling down on a page with a blob inside of a cavern

"Let's see... since it lights up let's call it light plant?... no, Glow plant? Plantbulb? Let's just call it Jelly plant.... no, Plantbulb sounded better"

I take out the said plant and started drawing it, after I've finished. I name it and put a description

"It's a glowing plant, the light it gives of is blue and supposedly the blobs eat it although they don't seem to need it. They glow up and became more transparent after"

With that I closed the notebook, I massaged my hands a little and sighed

"There's still plenty of unkowns left"

__________________________

I undid the rope in my flail and inspected the damage on my phone. It... was pretty recked up

Cracks filled its entire surface and I know it would sonner or later fell off, I put it back together and searched for something in my bag

There I got my perfume bottle, I usually used this for masking the scent of my smoke so it was a little bit full

Time for some big braining

Since the blobs aren't weak to anything physical and only fire seemed to hurt it. It would be weird not to utilize it

And here I introduced you to my improvised flame thrower!!! With only a perfume bottle and a lighter, I could use it to torch any slimes I see! (Don't try this please)

I took my lighter from my pocket and sparked the flames, with the flames now present. I pressed down and released the perfume

It ignited and speaded to encompass its full volume, I pressed for a few seconds before dropping it

A smile etched itself on my face
