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.

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.

'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.
