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. Eventually I come across a monster that looks like a large ugly pig, and suddenly I want bacon. A level 12 orc.

I decide to kill him even though he is 6 times my level I think if I can do enough damage to start I might win. I start sneaking up behind him and take aim with the short sword I got from the hobgoblin. After meditating for a second to calm down I slash his neck as hard as I can, and cut his head off.

'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.
