After looking at my skills my stomach growls

'I wonder if there is any food around or at the vary lest an edible monster'

And with that I head out of the cave only to see that it is only a small part of a much larger cave system. I decide to sneak around so that a monster doesn't surprise me while I’m hunting for food.

Skill obtained: stealth

I ignore the system message and continue looking for food and level up observe while I’m at it. After about an hour I have passed several monsters all of which have either been too high level for me or looked unappetizing. As well as passing a couple corpses of former schoolmates, no one I knew thankfully, and prayed for them. Eventually I come across a monster that looks like a large ugly pig, and suddenly I want bacon. A level 12 orc.

hp150/150, mpNA.

A large ugly pig that walks upright and wields a broad sword, he looks dangerous, and tasty.

I decide to kill him even though he is 6 times my level I think if I can do enough damage to start I might win. I start sneaking up behind him and take aim with the short sword I got from the hobgoblin. After meditating for a second to calm down I slash his neck as hard as I can, and cut his head off.

As I try to drag the orc into a nearby cave I can’t even get it to budge, so I decide to cut its arms and legs off and carry the pieces sepretly.

'I am really going to have to over my status after this'

As I take all the pieces into a cave which, as luck would have it, had wood for a fire and a good strong stick that I could rotisserie the orc on. The only problem is not having anything to start a fire with, so I try one of the methods the monks tried to teach me when I was younger. after about an hour I realize that this isn't getting me any ware so I start to get angry and I imagine the wood just spontaneously combusting. Which, to my surprise, it did.

Magic skill obtained: campfire

I just stare at the fire for a couple seconds before starting to rotisserie the orc. After a little bit it starts smelling amazing, that is when I realize the smell might attract hungry monsters so I went on guard a bit but didn't stop cooking because I was starving. After about 30 minutes the left arm is done cooking so I decide to start eating it while cooking the right leg. About this time a hungry wolf walks in. a wolf lv 5.

Seeing this I sigh and throw the right arm to the wolf. The wolf eats it vigorously, leaving behind nothing but the bone. It seems to fill out and become healthier from just that.

The wolf just calmly comes over to me and lies down with its head in my lap.

I finish cooking the orc and eating in peace with much left over even after giving much of it to ghost. I need to think of a way to preserve the meat.
