[Day 1]
While I was sleeping halfway, someone kidnapped me in the middle of the night by my foot. Somehow I was able to sleep through the whole process when it happened. Apparently, the egg tagged along for the ride as well.
How do I know this? Because I woke up in the middle of a jungle again with a note.
The note states:
"Survive for a month or I eat your pet egg."
Beside the note was a knife. I tried taking the charm out but it looks like Ryong is back in the guest room.
Looks like it's just me alone in here.
There were eyes everywhere in the jungle. Suddenly something pounced out of the push trying to maul my face off. Retreating at a certain distance, I checked my surrounding cautiously to see what am I dealing with here.
A pack of wolves reveals itself from the shadow. A total of 5 of them. The wolves were big, at least the same size on par with the one Kazue has.
One of them was clearly the leader, being bigger and looking stronger than the rest. I gulped my saliva and gripped the knife tightly. As one of the lunges forward for a bite. I dragged my shoulder to the right digging the knife into its flesh. It cut deeply into it as I pull the knife out and kick the wolf away.
1 Down.
The rest took notice and rushed towards me. Realizing how many disadvantages I had. I ran.
I ran for my life. They chased me through the woods when I stumbled and tripped and fell all over the place. The only thing I could do was run. Looks like Luck finally came when a tree that was shorter than the rest was shown. I jumped toward that tree and climbed up. However the wolves were monsters, they possess a form of intellect and were preventing me from climbing further up. I managed to bite my shirt and ripped part of it off.

As I made my way up. The only thing I could do while on top was wait for them to leave. The wolves were clearly guarding the tree, not letting their prey escape. Looks like I can't escape.
[Day 2]
The wolves still wouldn't leave. 2 of them were waiting while the leader and the other wolf retreat back to their den. I tried looking for a tree I can jump from tree to tree. But they were either too far or too short that the wolf could just jump and maul me from it.
Instead, the only thing I could do was suck the leaves for moisture and cut down some branches with the knife, and scrapped it.
The night was freezing cold as well, it seems the temperature dropped at a very low degree.
I need to leave or I will die.
[Day 3]
I got it.
I managed to sharpen the branch so that it was sharp enough to pierce through the wolves as a spear. One of the wolves was on watch and the other was asleep.
That's it, I'm done.
I jumped out of the tree, plunging down towards the wolf that was keeping watch, Piercing his neck with the spear and making sure he stays dead. However, he managed to lift his head trying to retaliate, I gripped the sticks and pull them up. The sleeping wolf was awakened from his rest and before he could react to what happened, I threw the spear with all my might, like a javelin, it stabbed him on the ribcage portion.
It started whining out loud in pain, as the wound cuts deeper every time he tries to move. It looks like he might attract his comrade, I closed in the gap, rushed towards him, and started stabbing continuously. Making sure that he is dead.
I grabbed the 2 wolves and went to the nearest lake to get something to drink.
[Day 4]
The wolves did not send anyone else to find their members. But I'm still hungry after all this. I gathered enough resources for the nearest cave and used it as my base. I tried skinning the wolves but wasn't successful as my knife then cut through the skin and cut too short of it. But after trying on 2 corpses of Wolf, I'm starting to get the hang of it
[Day 6]
.
Hunting for food halfway, I got cut by another monster. Turning around to find a big praying mantis on me. I took the Spear and start striking continuously. The wings on its back allowed it to fly and retreat effortlessly. With 2 of its claws looking like Scythe, it cut through the trees effortlessly. I tried parrying one of the claws, the other one came slamming for me. Before the claw lands its target on me, I took the Spear and thrust forward to one of its joints.
"Kieekkkkkk"
It screams in pain as it starts slashing and thrashing about. I release the spear from its joint and climbed back to the tree. As the trees around it slowly get cut down. I aimed the spear and just fling it forward. This time, it landed. Passing through what I can only assume is the skull of the mantis. Looks like today's dinner is insects.
[Day 9]
It took a long time. But I managed to get the mantis claw cut out and used as a weapon. They looked like a mini scythe. I just attached one of the bones of the wolf to the blade and tied it together after chipping and grinding some parts of the blade and bones. It fits together. I made two of them just in case one got broken. Time to try it out on the next hunt.
[Day 12]
A larger beast appears when a bird the size of 3 trees combined starts flying around, hunting for prey. I stayed clear of its flying pattern and continued my hunt for the wolves. The trail led cold when some of them started to ambush me again. With those mini scythes cutting them all apart in a matter of seconds was no issue, dealing the last blow with the knife, stabbing it in their heart.
3 Down. 2 more to go.
