It's kinda weird, waking up inside the sand, crawling out of it and then starting eating the brown pillbugs meat...

I did kinda wish that yesterday was just a long bad dream,

but I quickly came to my senses, realising that my situation didn't change one bit...

I dreamed about my life before I died and ended up in this place and I remembered something interesting.

One day, a man dreamed to be a dog. However, when he woke up he was confused and started asking himself.

What if he's really just a dog, dreaming that he's a human and not the other way around...

To be honest, I kinda feel the same way now.

It's a really weird feeling...

But it gives me more determination to not mess around and try my best.

Well, it's not like I can do anything about this, so I may just make the best out of it, right ?

Anyway, moving on...

This [Digging] skill has proven quite useful last night even though it's just at Lv1.

Since I don't have "proper" hands, it was like a godsent to be able to dig a hole just by instinct.

I'm still trying to figure out how those skills work, it's like whenever you acquire them or level them up,

a big chunk of information enters your brain, enabling you to know things you previously didn't know.

Really, a big mystery...

After I finished eating, I headed a little bit further from the nest.

I'm gonna try this [Roll] skill. Thanks to it, I already know how to roll,

now all that is left is to try it and see how it goes.

Bending my body, I put my four pairs of legs close to my stomach, with my scythes on top of them.

Closing my shell on top of my head with the shell near my behind,

I should look like a ball now, with only opening being were my eyes are.

This is good. I have already feared that I couldn't see shit when I get into this position, but I'm glad I was wrong.

However, it's still really uncomfortable being in this position...

This will definitely take some time getting used to...

Anyway, let's start...

....

...

..

.

Rolling around the nest, I trying to get used to this feeling.

I also sometime spin around while trying to keep rolling without getting disoriented, it's really harder then I thought.

Limited vision, always spinning around, it's really hard getting used to it even with the skill...

.....

[Skill proficiency reached [Roll:Lv1] become [Roll:Lv2]]

Oho, looks like I'm going somewhere with this rolling around...

Hmm... According to the information I received from the skill level up, it's possible to jump while rolling around.

This is something I been trying to do for a while now, but I just couldn't figure out how.

Thanks to the skill level up, now I know.

Alright, let's try it out...

After I started rolling again, I push myself from the ground with the ending of my shell by stopping using the [Roll] skill.

This may sound easy, but it's all about timing. That's the hardest part.

As I was spinning in the air, I started using the [Roll] skill again, curving myself into a ball.

I probably jumped around 1.5 - 2 meters into the air, wow, awesome.

Thanks to the shell, I didn't take any fall damage, so I continued practicing my rolling and roll jumping.

.....

Eeeeeeeh...

.....

As the giant burning ball in the sky continue to release its rays of death into the desert,

I been lying in my nest for awhile now. Totally exhausted from my morning practice.

Without any sound around me, the only thing I could hear was my own breathing.

From time to time, small wind may blow, cooling me a little...

.....

Aaaaaah...

.....

This is hell, I'm thirsty, I'm hungry...

Why am I rosting myself on this sun, you may ask?

Well, while I was practicing rolling around, I found a few problems with it.

At the beginning, I could roll as much as I want without getting tired,

but the moment the sun showed its ugly face at the peak of midday,

I needed to take constant breaks to cool myself down...

Not only that, but now I'm thirsty and there isn't any water around.

Even the meat I have in stock has completely dried up...

As I was lying around, thinking about useless stuff, a certain noise broke the silence.

It's faint, but that is definitely something rolling around.

Yes, finally !!!

I wonder which one it is.

Curving myself into a ball, I started rolling to the direction of the sound.

Before long, I spotted it...

My second pray. It was a green one.

Ohoho, just as the voice said, this one is good for running away.

Not to mention, those leaves growing out of its shell looks really appetising...

Hmm... His skills are a little bit better than mine and its agility is also a little bit higher,

but it should still be possible to catch up to him and kill him...

Now then...

Currently, both of us has had canceled the [Roll] skill and are looking at each other.

We are about ten meters away from one another.

Looks like I surprised him by blocking his path.

However, it didn't take long before he realised my intentions and started rolling in the opposite direction from me...

Oh no, you aren't gonna run away from me!!!
