Entering the white space again
After a few hours of sleep, he comes to see that he got back into the white space again. Realizing that the makeshift spear he made before isn't anywhere inside the white room, make him felt restless.
Noticing there is a change to the white space he steps closer to it. The change is that some cube flickering a few meters from the portal, hesitating at first he starts observing from a distance. After realizing that nothing is happening besides the cube only flickering he starts to come closer to watch what it is.
The closer he got to the cube the more clear to him what the cube is. It's an image of grassland and the image are moving around, after a while he realized that cube is the image of what he sees yesterday when he enters the portal.
He keeps watching the cube and after 10 minutes he comes to the end of the reply wherein the end he died from the wounds by the hyenas. At the end of it, the cube stop for a moment before it starts to reply the image again.
After watching it a few times he realizes there are no other changes. He tried to touch the cube.
"Ding"
The cube chime as Elliot touches it and showing something in front of his face some sort of screen with some obscure writing in it. Which after a while start to change into something he could understand.

seeing a few categories he tried to click one of them

Condition : Weakened(Damaged Body), Stressed
Hyena, animals that reside in the host planes
Condition : Excited, starving, agitated
Survival point achieved: 6 points
Seeing that description he could see some sort of game elements from what was shown in front of him.
"Survival point?" he couldn't make sense of it trying to figure it out.
"Ding"
Survival point: 6
What does it do? he asks himself. Which he greeted with another screen pop-out saying.
Survival point is generated from actions that the host performs while the host was inside the hunting ground.
With screen poping answers for his questions, he felt more and more like he was in some sort of game. But thinking about the pain he felt during the last time he goes into the so-called hunting ground makes him shiver.
Come to think about it he realizes that he has 6 of that survival points, thinking of what could he use it for, he tried to ask.
"What's the use of survival point?"
"Ding"
Survival points can be used in the survival store do you want to open the survival store?
"Yes" curious about survival stores which having name survival store maybe it will help him survive in this place?
The screen goes changes again into another page with a multitude of sections.
Seeing so many options he got attracted to one of the tabs in it.
"Food"
Surprised there is a food section that makes him excited! Without delay, he chooses it. He later saw so many options to choose with many items in it.
From bread, vegetables, raw meat, cured meat, soup, etc. the list goes on with all kind of food he could recognize and some he couldn't recognize
With so many sections that he could choose without realizing it himself, he starts to salivate seeing the food he could have. When he chose some meat products he found out that the price for its kind of expensive compared to other products like bread and the likes.
Thinking that he only has 6 points, he starts to choose some bread that was shown and choosing the cheapest that it could give which 1 point each, thinking he could only get 6 points he tried to get 1 bread.
Suddenly there is bread materializing in his hand with smells so good that all those pangs of hunger that he suppresses exploded right away, he starts munch into it.
"Om nom nom" Without him realizing it he could felt like he was eating the most delicious bread he ever tastes, with tear steeming from his eye, he felt that dying to taste this food isn't so bad at all.
Not only that he also felt some sort of change happened with his body, surprised with one bread could do, he wonders what will happen when he chooses other foods.
Trying to hold the urge to choose other food, he pushes himself to a stop. because he realizes to get the points he needs to go back inside the portal again. To survive there, he will need other items to help him kill those animals.
Composing himself he starts to think it out, to survive he will need all kinds of stuff, but what will he need immediately. With that points, he starts making some categories.
First of all, he knew that there are many animals in the grassland. And to survive there he will needs protections. With what the survival store could give to him, there are types of equipment that could help him last longer during the time he was inside the hunting ground.
2nd, is that will he be able to kill anything with his weak body? thinking of yesterday with how hopeless he is being surrounded by the animals. He realizes that he can't suddenly become some sort of superhero that will kill left and right as soon he got hold of swords.
After a while, he comes to think of 'Survival points'. It was the keywords. Survive! All he needs is survive inside, then again he to survive longer inside he will need tools to help him. Taking his time to think through he goes back to the cube and start watching reply again
After a long time watching it over and over he starts to get to know what he could have done differently as he could go into another way, or looking for a spot to stay but with the condition of grassland that doesn't provide cover beside some grass have enough height to hide him, while wind blowing into the wrong way could reveal just like before.
Thinking that the most logical way for him to survive a long time are getting some food, water, and shelter. Which most likely not possible all he could come up are making traps.
With enough time he could set up a trap, and wait for something to be caught by it. With 5 more survival points in hand, he starts to look for possible traps that he could make to traps those animals on the grassland.
With most possible usage is a bear trap with bait to it. With that set being the plan he starts looking for the suitable items with the last time he comes in the grassland being brown colored, he bought one with similar color using 2 points, left with 3 more points he starts to browse the selection of cheapest raw meat which he got for 1 point.
left with 2 more points he starts to think, even if I caught one of them will I be able to kill it?
"So I'm going to have a weapon in the end huh?" selecting all kinds oh weapons he could see some bow and arrows, swords, long swords, spear, etc. While a sword seems cool to swing, I don't think I could even use it on any animals there. "I need to do it with distance so the only options are bow, but I don't even know how to use it." He ends up choosing a simple spear with a wooden shaft and a good sharp pointy head. Because he imagines that all he needs is to stab the pinned spear into trapped animals to finish it off.
Using all his survival points he tried to prepare himself as best as he could. Buying the spear he suddenly sees at the corner of the tab there is an icon of human, he tried to click it and it activates the inventory system with slots of left and right arm, helm, armor, pants, guard arm. While the only thing he has is a spear it equipped in all two hand slots. he could automatically retrieve his spear from a small inventory, While at it he tries to put the raw meat and bear trap into inventory too which he succeeded in doing so.
All said and done he starts to walk into the portal.
