Stamina Flaw

Sigh*

I still plan to search around the cave if there is any possible threat for me, basically, to safeguard my own life. However, the problem is, I can already feel like my whole body is getting ripped. My body is currently too exhausted to continue to work. ' This is Fuck! ' I can't help but say. 

'It makes me feel like I just fought ten women in one go!' I say, then smile bitterly; 'For a virgin guy like me, saying these words, it feels off. Tehe' I add, feeling down. In truth, I really don't know how it feels to fight ten women for one night! 'Forget it!' I shake my head and clear my mind. Nevertheless, that is a good way to suppress the pain; think about something else. 

Ahem* I stay silent for a few minutes until I think of what to do; Sigh* 'I'll just analyze the place tomorrow. I have to take a rest now or else I'll die from exhaustion' In the end, I decided to just take a minor measure tonight, and do a major analysis and planning tomorrow. 

'Who would have thought that after getting a new body, it will exhaust my stamina after a few hours?' I say as I look around the surface of the cave.  

From here on the outside, with the dim light illuminated by the moon, I can barely see the line of the cave. 

'The cave looks like a nature-made one and not by someone.' I say as I nod. 'Maybe this place was also just found by the rat and just pretended as if it was its own.' I create another conclusion. Actually... I am not sure if this cave belongs to the rat or not. After all, I don't have any evidence yet, only my conclusions.

But of course, that doesn't matter, it is his or not; I don't really care; I only care right now is to sleep as soon as possible. 'I guess as long as the place is not uncomfortable, it should be okay!' I make a silent decision, yet again and again. 'Not to mention, with my current situation, I don't think being choosy has a place for me.' 

The only flaw that I could see with this cave is it is so broad and everyone could easily see it. Beasts or anyone could easily find this place if they accidentally or intentionally entered the vicinity. Fortunately, this flaw is not difficult to cover up. 'That is the first thing I will do tomorrow morning' I am about to nod, but then, I remember something 'Tehe! I am not sure if I'll do it tomorrow!' 

This is not only because I'm too lazy to work for the time being. Every part of my body is aching, and the icy breeze of the wind makes my body feel like it is about to freeze. I stop thinking about my future plans and fasten my speed as I enter the cave.

Swoosh! 

'Wow!' My lips shape into an oval as I see the interior of the cave. 'It ain't as bad as I thought, ' I say. 

I first thought that the interior would be jet black, yet it turns out it isn't even near as I concluded. 

Inside the cave, there are thousands of stones stuck on the wall that surprisingly give light inside. 

'They are like stars from the sky! ' I exclaim, amazed. I look around with an astonished face. I cannot help it, it feels so unrealistic to witness something like this.

Not to mention, although caves also exist on the earth, still, this is the first time for me to see something like this in this distance, face to face.

Back then, I could only watch something like this on the internet. 

"Haha" I laugh out loud. 

Crack*

Argh* I get haltes as my spine suddenly cracks. The body pain came back again. 

'If I don't take a rest, I don't think I will last long.' 

Although I am sleepy, I don't plan to sleep near the entrance of the cave. I walk and try to find a safer place to sleep.

It is nighttime, and there should be some beasts that will come. Although this is just an assumption, as I always say, it's better to be safe than sorry. 

If some random and hungry beasts accidentally find this cave and see me, a mere mouse that is sleeping soundlessly, I can guess the outcome that will come. 

It will be a Nice Meat To Eat! 

And I don't wish for something like that to happen, even in my dream.

'To be safer, I needed to at least find the safest area here.' 

'The cave is too deep!' I say as I follow the dim path towards the deeper part of the cave. 

. . .

Even after walking for almost half an hour, I am yet to reach the end. Fortunately, the number of the stones is not small, and the deeper I walk, the number of stones multiplied. It makes the place brighter the deeper you go.

Another ten minutes passed. Without witnessing the dead end, my body pain already doubled. My bones eventually start making the crack sound. I have no choice but to give up.

'I'll sleep here then! ' I say to myself. 

Looking around, there is no visible threat I could see. 

I walk near the wall and lay on the ground. Then I close my eyes, ready to sleep. 

Subconsciously, maybe because I am too tired, I fall asleep within just a few seconds.

The wind is so fresh and calm, adding another reason why I fell asleep so fast.

Yap, wind, although this is the depth of the cave, the wind can mysteriously linger.

The next day.

When I open my eyes, it is already morning. 

After that nice slumber of mine, my drained energy got replenished.

I now can do more things again.

With my bigger body -than the former one-, it turned out that my stamina isn't that good anymore. My stamina is now faster to drain compared to before. And that has proven yesterday, as I found myself tired just by running for a few hours searching for this cave.

Compared to when I ran for almost half a day to find a target and followed the target until it died.

However, there is nothing to worry about. I'll just have to stay calm and everything will be alright. 

As the saying goes; A problem can only be a problem if you take it as a problem.

In easier explanation, as long as I take this flaw as nonsense, then this is nonsense.

'Anyway, enough for nonsense' I shifted my attention back to the cave. Now that my energy had been full, it was time to see more of this place.

This place will be my temporary home and I have to make sure that this place is safe for me.

If there are some possible threats, even if I couldn't take it down, at least I have to know.

Crack* 

Cracks sound as I stretch my body.

Wow! 

It feels so good! 

My sleeping blood cells have awakened.

Time to set sail and finish every shit.
