Chapter 4 -Preparation

While riding First, I asked Hellena about the crafting system, there is a system called Engrams.

Engrams are permanent Crafting Recipes that I can unlock the more I level up, and they provide a means of advancement & progression for me. Unlike Blueprints (Lootable items that give you me to Crafting Recipes) that I can find randomly in the Island or caves, Engrams are non-lootable, persist, and do not take up any inventory space.

So there is a chance that I can make super high-tech items for me and my tames. Hellena said the sooner I will finish preparing to travel to another world and save it, the better the rewards I will receive.

I can even travel right now if I want to but I'm not ready yet, and I can still go back here or choose another Island if I want too but I want to adapt and experience everything here first.

I want to have powerful predators, to be honest. and I decide to grind my level tomorrow by gathering more materials or even killing Herbivores on this Island because killing them is the best way to level up, it's what Hellene said and also taming carnivores can level me up as well.

What excites me the most is if I manage to clean up the Island like killing or taming, a special creature will appear but Hellena won't tell so that I will be a surprise.

But I decided, for now, to tame 1 creature in each species because I'm not confident to take care of them and I have to capture a Dinosaur that can gather stones and metals easily because if First here can gather wood, thatch, berries, and fiber. I'm sure heir is a Herbivore that can help me shatter rocks and metals easily. So I asked.

"Hellena, are their and Dinosaur that can help me gather metals or stones?"

"Bingo! Ankylosaurus! An Ankylosaurus can be found peacefully wandering around this Island. They will not attack unless provoked, and since they can deal a devastating blow with their tail club if angered, it is best for you to make a tranquilizer arrow. They have a very low movement speed on land but can move significantly faster in water and you know what's amazing? It can stun Megalodons for thirty seconds using its tail!"

I take back what I said lately. Maybe I'm going to tame at least ten Ankylosaurus. Nodding my head. I checked my crafting system, and to make a tranquilizer arrow, I need a narcotic.

"To make a narcotic, I need spoiled meat and Marco berries so tomorrow it is, I have to kill a Dinosaur first, I have so many Narco berries here thanks to First," I mumbled and patted his side.

Finally arriving at a flat ground, I crafted stone foundations and stone walls. The shapes are square so I can easily put and align them without any problems. Then, I crafted two sides of the window walls, a door placement, and a door.

Appreciating my mini-house, I nodded in satisfaction. I also made a campfire and a cloth tent for First. Surely I can make a larger house for First but this place is only temporary, my goal is to reach the main Island.

After that, I ate some eatable berries, fed First and went to my dreamland.

The sun shined and reflecting in my face that manages me to wake up, I really now believe that this isn't a dream.

I went outside and do some basic exercises. Then I look at first.

Dinosaurs can level up fast, It's what Hellena said so just by eating, First leveled two times... What a cheat.

Then, I wake First up then told him.

"Ready to kill First?"

First nodded his head, okay he might really understand me.

Our first target is also like First, a Parasaurus.

Then I asked Hellena there locations, a transparent projector appeared in front of me and showing the entire Herbivore Island, a beeping sound can be heard to a specific place so I went there.

First and I traveled for at least an hour until we reached them.

And finally, four Parasaurus roaming around a distance away from us.

I crafted at least fifty stone arrows and a bow to help me kill them faster and level me up.

Creeping towards them, I let First distract them on purpose, while I silently approach them.

Swirling the bola, I fired to the nearest Parasaur and that is we're all hell went loose.
