First Day of Hunting

In the middle of the night when people are supposed to be asleep Mike shakes in annoyance as he covers himself with thin leaves that had been tied to turn it into a leaf blanket.

He shivers as his eyes are open wide cannot blink even once.

He, who survived from the harshes environment that no human could go to was now shivering in the cold.

The darkness is not a problem since his eyes adapted to this kind of environment but the icy wind is something he can't handle.

The shiny bright night earlier immediately changed to heavy weather disturbing the whole forest.

There's no house nor a roof for Mike to have himself not getting wet.

Just a single drop of rain alone makes his skin shivers.

He already can handle the normal temperature yesterday but he didn't think that he would face the rainy weather this quickly.

Clint, who supposed to be on his side was already gone not because the man ran away but...

"I believe in your words but that doesn't mean that I would expose my back to some stranger like you so don't follow me."

Mike tried to follow him with his stubbornness but immediately pinned down to the ground.

The man spoke again; "Don't make me," as he said it the large stake pierced the ground beside Mike's stomach within an inch. Leaving Mike immobile the man leaves along with his trusty stake.

Mike who is butt naked in the middle of a rainy night, he didn't think that he would miss living at the bottom of the ocean.

*Creak creak*

While he sulks he heard a creaking sound. Because the creaking is getting covered with the sound of a splashing rain and the wind Mike didn't immediately catch the noise as it's already in his vincity.

Mike deployed his weaponized hands he glares towards the noise.

In his front, there's a large bush that separates them between him and the creaking as it also abstracts his vision.

To his curiosity maybe also because of his dumbness Mike silently walks towards the creaking noise.

He didn't force himself through the large bush but walk away from it. His target this time is the noise, not the bush.

Passing the bush Mike reaches his destination without trouble.

He looks at the ground looking if there's someone there but sadly there's no one.

(Tch... I thought that there will be alive meat or something.)

*Creak creak* The creaking can be heard from the trees. Mike lowered his guard.

He immediately looks up to see what is there.

To his eyes.

!?

Giant Eyes, hairy body, emotionless face, large nose, hands like human but long fingers, and its tail is twice long of its body.

A tarsier hanging itself in the tree branches busy eating its prey. A cute animal that can found in some countries like the Philippines.

However, there is something strange- no, there is an obvious change.

Seeing the creature Mike shivered more and his hair goosebumps in terror.

The small cute body was long gone as its size turn something humongous, the same size as a bear. The thing that is eating is not an insect nor a small bird but an adult brown deer.

Hearing Mike's gasp the Tarsier turns its head in an unusual terrifying manner 180 degrees and stare at Mike while it eats. Mike tried to run away but cannot move- no, he can't move from fear.

It's terrifying, it's very terrifying. Like a horror movie that came out to reality.

His body is like a stone even with all of his wills he can't move.

And then...

A familiar stake appeared once again flying straight to the Tarsier.

The stake pierces through the Tarsier's giant neck decapitating its head as it flings to the tree's leaves.

Blood flows out but soon to be stopped. (This is reality there's no way that most of the creatures have tons of blood inside their body.)

If it's not a large stake that pierces its neck maybe the Tarsier might still be alive.

(Now I know why Clint always carries a giant stake.)

The body falls from the branches hitting the ground with a thud.

"Ahhh!!" Mike screamed as he saw the giant Tarsier fell. The speed of the large stake is something that the Tarsier can't see nor react.

It only falls as it didn't move even after decapitation. It's not something like Mike who is weird that he can be called a Dullahan at some point.

(Is there a creature that I know that didn't change into something big or bizarre!?)

Fish-like creatures, red creature, black creature, tentacle creature, and now a tarsier.

I guess the difference between them is that tarsier is something he actually knows from the picture.

(But isn't that creature supposed to be cute?) Mike sighed.

Clint appeared in the scene as he carries another spare large stake.

"Don't lower your guard! It has a partner!" yell towards Mike.

"Huh?"

After seeing the scene Mike's guard is still lowered.

Suddenly a tarsier appeared at his back left shoulder as its long fingers pierce through his eyes. Tarsier has strong legs that can leap from one place to another at high speed. They use it either for hunting or running away from predators.

"Idiot!" Clint didn't know the other tarsier is so he didn't manage to save Mike in time.

However...

Tarsier tried to pierce Mike's eyes but Mike's body shakes wildly for a second.

And soon after its long fingers are gone chomping it with his sharp-razor teeth in his mouth. Tarsier's body is soft so there is no need to weaponized his mouth.

Mike immediately shifts his body to throw the tarsier to the ground. His skill to throw someone or something to the ground is one of his specialties so there's no problem even if he just reached the surface recently.

*Boom!*

Weaponizing his right hand Mike pierce the giant tarsier in its chest grabbing its heart and crushing it.

*Crack crack*

He managed to kill the tarsier but sadly what he crushed inside is not the heart but its bone and some of its flesh.

Realizing what he had done he regret what he did for a moment.

(Oh shit! Did I just kill something that's endangered!?) Holding his head he imagines himself living his whole life in jail.

Clint pats his back and gives something to him.

"Good job."

What he gives is a set of clothes including underwear.

Mike teared up. He who has been naked for years has now gain clothes.

"Oh yeah... It's too late for me to notice but... I didn't think that you're actually a guy so go bear those clothes for a while I find something new."

What he got are feminine clothes. Not to mention the clothes if short.

Fortunately, Mike's height didn't change even after a couple of years so there is no problem for him to not get fit into it.

(You fucker!)
