"mmmmm..."

"Why is there hair in my mouth?"

"I was sure to completely close of the sleeping bag."

"What’s all this hair I feel pricking me?"

"This has to be a dream."

"I know I'm naked but what up with this hair?"

"A girl?"

"A  monster?"

"This is probably a dream after all?"

"Must be a dream."

-----"Frrrrrrrr, Frrrrrrr, Frrrrrr, Awrrrrr."-------

"aaaaaaaaaaaa, that hurt, something really did scratch me"

"I better open the sleeping bag so i can see inside. I know for sure something is in my sleeping bag with me."

As I opened the sleeping I became motionless.

The only thing I could see is a Bluish/Silver tail.

I became paralyzed from the fear of a monster in my sleeping bag.

What made it worse was that my scream seemed to wake it up. As it slowly turned towards me, I was terrified.

A moment later everything went out the window, it was a small fox like creature with an enormously long tail.

I was no longer afraid of it since it was so small. However I was astonished that it had what seemed like a meter long tail. Whereas this creature's body was only 1/4 of a meter.

As the little monster got up it walked over to my bag with apples which for some reason lay almost empty even though it was supposed to be nearly full. It started to eat the last apple which was in the bag. I couldn't just sit by and watch so I snatched the apple from the creature.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Its threatening tone was so loud and obnoxious that I felt fear all over again.

So I took the ax and split the apple in half and tossed the other peace to the growling creature.

It stopped growling and started to munch away at the apple.

I was out of food once again.

"Information Window" I called out.

AlertYou may not view any information, since you turned off all of the information services until you are LVL.1.

"aaaaaaaaa"

"What’s all this all of a sudden."

"I don't remember what I even said."

"All I remember is being bothered by so much information pings that I turned all of them off until LVL.1. Now I must reach my goal of LVL.1."

That is where I decided to train my character so that I would reach LVL.1. I could try and kill this little monster but that doesn't guarantee me getting to LVL.1 if I do that, then it would have been boring.

"Well guess I need to swim to get my breakfast."

As I started swimming towards the apple tree with only by bag I noticed it was much easier to swim. Especially without as many clothes dragging the water along.

This time it seemed like I was able to reach the apple tree in 3.5 hours instead of 4. What was surprising was that little monster followed me all the way to the apple tree. Even though I was swimming with effort it was making circles around me as I swam.

I really became irritated, although let the thought go since it was keeping me company.

Once we got to the island the little monster staring at me with pleading eyes in order for me to feed it some of the apples, since the little creature couldn't reach the apples. I assume all of the other apples on the floor were either eaten by crabs or other creatures since there weren't any on the floor.

That is when I started to swim back. With the extra weight it still took me roughly 4 hours to get back to where my things were at.

That is when I came up with a plan to gather as many apples as I could and bring them to bigger island. Therefore I used my axe to cut down a small tree.

By cutting the small tree in three pieces, I made it into a small raft that was the length of a sleeping bag. So I took my sleeping bag and the newly made raft which was 3 logs tied together with the rope and I swam back to the island. Since the logs were heavy, I could not lift the raft from the water, which made me go around the small islands on the way.

The sleeping bag was taken with me by tying it with the excess of the rope to the little raft. Since it was waterproof I didn't need to worry about it getting wet too much after I closed it up.

The little mongrel of a fox who seemed to be cunning,  didn't want to swim this time and instead lay on the raft as I pushed it while swimming.

It took me nearly half of the day just to swim to the apple tree with the little raft in tow, and the little rascal was comfortably sleeping on it.

It was dark when I got there, therefore I camped there that night.

----------------------------------- 6 months later -----------------------------------

Nothing out of the ordinary has happened. I still haven't level up so I could not see my stats until I was LVL.1. In addition I was working on a longer term project of building a small house where I can sleep comfortably without being rained on.

I guess the rain season started so I assumed winter was coming, therefor I was in a hurry to gather as much food as possible.

The little house on the kilometer long island was small but cozy. The little mongrel continued to grow and eat a lot. Some months ago I stopped calling it mongrel and gave it a name, Fricks.... The reason I named it that was because it would always creep up on me without me realizing it. It would jump onto my face, which would creep me out.

I was able to explore around 1/4 of the islands in that time.

----------------------------------- 3 months later -----------------------------------

The snow arrived. I was able to store up: apples, bananas, grapes, papayas and other fruits for the winter.

The little cabin was built and I've even stocked up a bunch of wood inside the cabin for the fire. The cabin itself was dug in to the ground 3 feet deep in order to apply the ground warmth, while I was sleeping.

From building to carrying logs I felt much stronger. Although I still had no access to my stats, I really didn't care anymore. I was enjoying my life. The snow was so severe that it covered the entire cabin I built and it seemed to have another meter on top of that. So in order to access the trees since I was running out, I built a snow tunnel to the trees where I would cut them for firewood.

The snow melted due to it getting extremely hot all of a sudden. How very interesting...

During that one month I slept on the cabin since it was flooded inside. Luckily it didn't rain. Weird......

As soon as everything pretty much dried up, I, for the sake of it swam to the apple tree to see if any fruits were on it. Amazingly it only took me approximately 1 hour to reach the tree now while towing the small raft I had built.

When chopping a tree I was able to cut it down with only one swing now. During the winter since I was so bored I used the axe to carve different objects out of the wood, small stones, and shells I found on the ground.

Other than just carving I did many different exercises in the cabin, from 1000 pushups, to 1000 sit-ups, and other exercises in the increments of 1000 repetitions.

I still don't know why I am not LVL.1....... Darn... Right...

------------ 2 months later----------- 1 year since arrival-----------

Fricks had grown in to the height of a pony. Although much more muscular and bulkier, his tail 2 meter in length.

I still haven't leveled up, although I did explore every corner of the islands I was on.

I had built a small boat in the last two months and was getting ready to leave the islands behind. Even though it was my home it would still remain a place I would seek refuge if I didn't like something on what seemed like the main Island. During the past year I could see ships far away pass by, but never did my fire signals catch the eyes of those ships.

With a boat full of fruits, crabs, oysters, pearls, gems, and shiny metals which I assumed to be either copper, tin or even iron. Those things I would gather every time I dived to retrieve crabs and oysters from the bottom of the ocean near the island.

Since the boat was so heavy with everything I stored in it. It seemed to be almost drowning. Since I now had intuition and could judge fairly well I set out on the voyage across the ocean where you could slightly see tall mountains rise.

I made Fricks swim since I was also going to swim in order to push the boat. With all my things gathered we set out.

From my ability to hold my breath I now was able to hold it for around an hour without a problem. So with my strength and agility in the water and with the support of Frick’s strength we both pushed the little boat. To my surprise the speed that both of us were able to push it made the boat propel like a jet ski.

"Wow was the only thing I could say."

....... 1 day past....... Not there yet

...........2 day's past....... Not there yet

...............3 day's past........ Not there yet

Fricks and I were still going at out full strength trying to get to the other side as soon as possible.

After 3 days I noticed the water getting cooler and cooler and from time to time I would look back to the island which was getting smaller and smaller until I noticed that now I couldn't even see it. As if it was covered in an illusion.

!!! Alert !!!  

You are now leaving the Vanishing Islands!

note. Danger Alerts will be displayed only once and never again!!

"No wonder the ships couldn’t see my fire signal."

!!! Danger Alert !!!

!!! Alert !!!

You are now entering the Raging Waters of the Equator!

Note:

!!!!   Your traveling speed will be reduced by 50%   !!!

.........................4 day's past.......... Not there yet however we did get a lot closer

----------------------------------------2 weeks had past-----------------------------------------------

I was finally getting tired from going full strength without stopping day and night!

After two weeks of swimming while pushing the little boat and eating it became much lighter. Only 1/4 of the food was left in the boat.

However we have finally arrived!!!!

"YAY we have arrived." I yelled

"!!!!!NOT!!!!!." I was not happy

What stood before us was a cliff that I could see no end to it from left to right...

"Now what?"

With the strength I gained while on the little islands I could measure my strength by picking up the little boat from 1/4 full of rocks. Since I still had no way of measuring my strength, due to my strict training which by the end of winter consisted of 100,000 repetitions of each exercise.

"Since I am here there is no way around these wide cliffs so I might as well as climb them."

Making Fricks sit in the boat as I tied the infinitely strong rope around the both ends of the boat and my waist and started to climb.

The weight of the boat was now negligible that I couldn’t feel it.

The difficult part was holding on to the slippery small rocks and cracks on the side of the cliff. I was not tired however battling with balance issues I was able to reach the top after climbing day and night.

It was surely a victory for me......
