New Beginnings

Everything I remember is that I was in the backseat of my parent's car. We were going at a moderate speed if not a little slow, it was a snowy day so my father had to take a little bit more care than usual.

I remember feeling the cold window against my skin as I let my cheek rest on top of it while I looked outside. I saw two lights coming straight towards us and the sound of a loud honk.

After that, I felt an inhuman amount of pain going through my body as the car flipped over and the truck that hit us slammed us against a nearby building. Everything went red and before I could even try to move I closed my eyes.

It felt like an eternity until I opened them again. I found myself laying on the ground in the middle of what seemed to be the clearing of a forest. I sat up and nothing was hurting, which both made me worry and a little happy.

Certainly, I knew I was dead as soon as I closed my eyes, it was really not a surprise when I looked around and found out that I was nowhere close to my hometown. But what did gave me a big surprise was the pair of horns I discovered on my forehead as soon as I placed my hand there.

And they were not small at all! This surely couldn't get more weird right? Well, lucky me, a message box appeared in front of me like a hologram would.

'Just what the hell is happening?' I thought.

And as soon as I did so, I started to understand while I read the message. It went on and on about how I was chosen to be transferred into another world for the amusement of some god or something similar.

Well, at least it was good to know I had the attention of someone but I didn't really was able to understand the whole situation at first. I decided to check myself in order to see in what state I was.

Apparently, I was wearing some rags, no underwear, and I had a knife laying on the floor next to me. It was really a bad situation, so I looked up at the sky to see how much time I had until the day was gone.

Just then I realized it would be futile since quite possibly this world's daytime flowed in a different order than mine so I gave up and started to explore my surroundings. It took me around half an hour to find the first animal.

At first, it seemed like a regular bunny from the distance, but it turned out to be the size of approximately an average dog. I was both surprised and intrigued by how weird nature would be in this new place.

I approached slowly and lunged towards it from behind. Luckily, I was somehow able to surprise it and dig my knife into its neck. It killed the bunny after a few seconds and I was trembling. I never killed anything else before in my life so this was a weird feeling, but I knew that I had to keep going if I wanted to survive.

So I started to skin the bunny, and as I did so, a few more message boxes appeared in front of me.

It appeared that finally, the system showed itself properly to me. It seemed as if I gained new skills as I tried new things so it was something really good to know. I continued with the skinning of the bunny and it took me some time but I managed to do so without any problems.

Once it was done, I grabbed the skin and some meat, leaving the rest behind because I had exactly no idea what to do with it. I started looking for a few sticks and some rocks too. I found some vines growing in the biggest trees so that was a plus as well.

When I had everything I needed, I went through that survival guide program I saw on TV. It was pretty interesting and incredibly better than most things that my family saw so it kept hooking into me to continue watching it.

I was going through my mind on how I could start a fire, and since I had no real stones capable of making sparks, I grabbed some dry grass and dead leaves I could use before grabbing one stick and putting it on top of a broken piece of crust I grabbed from a tree.

And so, I started to spin it on top of the crust. I was trying to start a fire through friction so it would take a while and it would tire me but I already had my meal ready so it wasn't that bad of a situation.

I had more or less a few hours until dusk so I took my time with this. Speaking of time, the fire took around one whole hour to start properly. I never did this before so I had no idea of how to correct my mistakes so I tried to learn as I went with it.

♦Skill Learned: Survivalist Lvl1♦

Well, at least I learned that new skill. Some knowledge was somehow drilled into my brain and now I know a few of the mistakes I made and how to correctly start the fire. It turns out you have to put the dry grass and leaves after you start to see the smoke not before.

I rolled my eyes and stabbed some meat on the tip of my knife, I held it over the fire and once it seemed cooked enough, I grabbed a good bite. Needless to say, it was both the most crunchy and delicious meat I had ever eaten. Maybe it was the hunger speaking for me, but it truly was delightful.

I continued to eat until I gulped down the last piece that was left. Just then I laid on the ground and covered myself with giant leaves that I found from mysterious-looking flowers. They were big enough to keep me under them so I didn't know if I was small or if they were giant.

I had a rough sleep but sleep nonetheless, and on the next day, I would really look forward to trying to know what else is out there.
