Chapter 19: The advice, Lost in the forest

Me and the idiots changed our location and moved to a more quiet place to talk.

.

“So, what’s the deal?” I ask them since they were almost crying back there.

.

“We want you to teach us on how to talk to the goddess” (Glasses Idiot)

.

“Huh? What do you mean talk? Just approach her and speak like what we are doing right now” (Me)

.

“We tried all of us did but...*cries*” (Idiot member 1)

.

And all of them starts to cry. What a bunch of ……. I’m speechless myself.

.

“Each and every one of us tried to confess *sniff* but before we can even say a single word were already on our knees” (Idiot member 2)

.

“Yeah just a single straight eye to eye contact makes our legs weak” (Idiot member 3)

.

“And you call your selves a MAN?” (Me)

.

“We can’t help it.. right guys?”(Idiot member 4)

.

‘’’’“Yes We can’t”’’’’ (all idiots)

.

“Being stared by those seductive eyes as if she is looking at you bare. Eyes that can see through to your very soul. It makes you shiver with fear and excitement” (glasses idiot)

.

And there you have it, a group of weird, idiots and worst of all perverts. Suddenly entering their own world and imagining something I do not want to know. All the hair in my body began to stand and my instinct is screaming telling me to run as far as possible.

.

“Thus, we want you to teach us on how to be come closer to her” (Glasses idiot)

.

“””””PLEASE TEACH US“””””(The idiotic perverts Club)(note: thou shall be called TIP Club”)

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Classes are now over and I’m currently leaving the school premises then head straight home to play. If you are wondering what happened to those TIP Club then all I can say is all is well.

.

I can’t really tell them the real reason for what happened at the store and what advise can I say? Even I do not have any experience in both lives that’s how pitiful my life is. Those guys keep asking me until I gave them an answer which is “YOLO” you only live once, brace your selves’ youth and don’t leave any regrets. Kind of ironic because here I am in my second life. At the same time an evil thought came to mind, it made me laugh madly inside my mind. I told them that whenever they see her, gather courage and yell out all your feelings then run. That way they will be able to say what they want before she could react.

.

So case closed and everybody happy, well everybody except *laughs* you know who.

~:Back in the game:~

.

.

.

.

.

Opening my eyes, I observed my surroundings. Everything is peaceful and Old B cannot be found.

.

“Looks like its self-training this time too” (Me)

.

It does not matter anyway since now, the most important thing to do is to increase my experience in combat. At first all I can do is to fight against one enemy but as time passed I manage to increase my combat capability and fight against multiple enemies.

.

As I kill my way towards different monsters, the essence that I earn is slowly accumulating and by the time I realize it already reached its maximum capacity. I look around and it seems that I became a lost child, right now I’m inside a dense forest which gives me an eerie feeling. Everything is so quiet that it feels abnormal, no sound of the wind blowing against the leaves, no sound of birds chirping, nothing at all.

.

I pick up a slightly big branch and hit the nearest tree trunk but the sound I’m expecting did not came out. I hit the tree again and again, each time I hit harder than before until the branch’s durability fell to zero and disappeared.

.

“….” I tried to speak but still nothing.

.

‘Just where in the world am I?’ all I can do is voice it out in my mind. Observing my surrounding one more time as I look at different directions then I also tried to look at the system map, but nothing came out. Without panicking which most people will do now, I decided the most advance method available for me right now. I took out a straight rusty sword from my inventory and hold the sword while the tip pointing at the ground. I let the sword go and let the will of the heavens decide my path.

.

*drops*

.

And it points towards the right. Let’s head there then but before that I carved some arrow markings on a nearby tree, so I would know if I’m walking in circles which is something that always happen in novels of old. My sight is limited because of the trees which is too close to each other and tall enough to only let the sun’s rays to dim. The only solution I could think of is to constantly use my ‘Mind’s Eye’ skill. Even though it can only reach a maximum of 52 meters right now. It’s still better than using my own eyes.

.

Everything in a 52meter radius is being displayed inside my head, the trees just trees everywhere. No animals, no insects just trees.

.

‘…… le-let’s just move forward’

.

.

~:2hours later:~

.

.

I think I’m going insane, I’ve been walking for some time now and walking pass these endless trees, but nothing sorts of change happening. At first, I thought that Old B is playing a prank on me but at this point he should be in front of me and mocking me already.

.

*stomach growl*

.

Even though I cannot hear it, I can still feel my stomach asking me to fill it with some food. My satiety bar which is below my essence bar only have 30% left. I started a fire and took some meat that I got from the monsters I kill then started to cook some grilled meat. The Alchemy skill includes almost everything related to alchemy, so it allows me to properly harvest herbs and other materials for alchemy. These herbs then serve as the seasoning for my food.

.

A low fire is dancing under the meat which slowly secrete some of its oil. The fragrance is top notch, with just a whiff and your mouth will produce some water fall. I slowly turn the meat, flipping it from time to time as it slowly cooks.

.

*bite*

.

The meat juices slowly burst out of the tender meat and with the help of the herbs and spices it gives a heavenly taste. It’s really a delicious meal.

.

‘It’s so goo-‘ then I noticed something.

.

*Bite*

.

*munch*

.

*Bite*

.

*Bite*

.

*Bite*

.

I look at the meat in my hand and the only thing I can see is the skewer I used. I clearly felt the sensation of eating it but. the taste is gone.

.

Yes, gone.
