CHAPTER 2: First Monster Encounter

Zero's Point Of View

It is a sunny weather today, and this time I am planning to start building my house for the convenience of shelter. Staying in that tree for the night seems so comfortable, there is no problem about it for someone to refuse to live in there. I just thought that making a house to stay is worth it and a very good experience for a Urban person such as myself to have an insightful knowledge on how does the Rural livelihood works. So I prepared to set out to gather raw materials that I will surely be needing in my building project.

There are things that are essential concern to prioritize and give an equal consideration. What Kind of house do you desire and hoq big would you want it to be?. What was the materials that are available in this very area?. How abundant are these materials?. Can those materials bw enough for building a house?. Also, it's exterior and interior design.

I started searching for a bamboo if there is anything like those in the wilderness of the forest and some clay to make a furnace or stove. Whilet collecting some stretchy tree barks and long grasses to be used as ropes.

After wandering inside the forest for a while. I finally found a bunch of the bamboo trees. "Whoah! there's so much of them that I can have reserves for future purposes". I say and walk into the Bamboo Tree with careless action. Thus, I fell for a trap. I was being ambushed by Ten Rabbits With Two Sharpened Tooth and a Blade like Horns with Shining Red Eyes. I did consider that a place like this can have monster. "But this kind of monster is kinda nightmarish for bunny lovers". I said as they make an eerie screech of howl and charge at me directly and one of them nearly approaching at me. A moment that made me concentrate as I extend my arm at its face and shouted. "STOP!!!". Keeping my eyes closed for a time I then opened them as I witness them stopped mid-air. Giving a time for me to breathe. Realizing what is a necessary skill for a situation like this one to keep my track in my surroundings.

Deciding to create a skill. "SKILL CREATION: INSPECTION". I said revealing there information into me.

Collecting the bamboo trees I cut and also placing those in the Item Box. I immediately ran to the tree where I stay at night. As soon as I came back, I rushly pull out the raw materials that I have collected. I started by stationing the different pillars digging two feet below the ground for the foundation in a rectangle pattern. In which I included the placement of doors and windows and refine them later. As the two of it was longer for the interception in roof making. I was thinking of making it a two storey house, I made a division of two meters each floor. interconnecting all of them by removing some part of the bamboo for the other bamboo that I cut and polished its edges to be used as walls. Ensuring its vitality with the ropes made from tree barks and plants. I keep working at it that I didn't mind the flow of time. I just stopped when the surrounding seems so dark and realized that it's already in the evening. Finishing the entire house except for the door, window, furnace and kitchen utensils which I could alwayscreate with my magic. I decided to stay another night in that tree since it was already evening and so I light up a fire to keep me warm from the coldness of the night a certain object shining among the fruits mesmerizing me.

It looked like it was tempting me to come near it telling me eat itself. It was a glamorous shining golden apple. Giving a vibe of abundance and tranquility, like a flow of Mana that is surging inside it. I was being calmed by its presence. After being charme by it, I felt hunger and realized that it was very late. Then decided to eat it even if its very beatiful I am determined. I need to eat to survive. So I ate the apple leaving only its stem. It has a very swert flavour that feels like being lifted. After a while after eating it my body feels so hot like a surging storm inside as I was in deep pain that I just smashed the door to run in to the lake to submerge in water in hopes to ease this surging heat inside me but before I could do that A Raging Strike of Light Landed at me and the last thing I know before knocking out is hearing a loud surging sound.

Someone's Point Of View

I was running straight through the woods of this Infamous Forest just to get away from those Slave Seller bastards. Caring nothing about those Rumors being spreaded towards

the whole country. I just think of getting away from them. I didn't care even if I die it's even a better choice than being mistreated for a lifetime. I was sure I was far away from them by now, I sighed in relief. But then, a sudden bursts of Magical Energy occured resulting to weather to distrupt and cause devastation. I am afraid but I was reaching its origin. But before reaching it a phenomena of a Raging Energy In the Form of Lightning descended from the sky creating a shockwave that made entire surroundings being thrown including myself as I lose my own conciousness.
