After looking at my skills my stomach growls
'I wonder if there is any food around or at the vary lest an edible monster'
And with that I head out of the cave only to see that it is only a small part of a much larger cave system. I decide to sneak around so that a monster doesn't surprise me while I’m hunting for food.
Skill obtained: stealth
I ignore the system message and continue looking for food and level up observe while I’m at it. After about an hour I have passed several monsters all of which have either been too high level for me or looked unappetizing. As well as passing a couple corpses of former schoolmates, no one I knew thankfully, and prayed for them.

'I am really going to have to over my status after this'
As I take all the pieces into a cave which, as luck would have it, had wood for a fire and a good strong stick that I could rotisserie the orc on. The only problem is not having anything to start a fire with, so I try one of the methods the monks tried to teach me when I was younger. after about an hour I realize that this isn't getting me any ware so I start to get angry and I imagine the wood just spontaneously combusting. Which, to my surprise, it did.
Magic skill obtained: campfire
I just stare at the fire for a couple seconds before starting to rotisserie the orc. After a little bit it starts smelling amazing, that is when I realize the smell might attract hungry monsters so I went on guard a bit but didn't stop cooking because I was starving. After about 30 minutes the left arm is done cooking so I decide to start eating it while cooking the right leg. About this time a hungry wolf walks in. a wolf lv 5.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
