*cough* *cough*
I woke up with water almost choking me to death and some blue windows appearing in my sight.
"What is thi..." *cough* *cough*
The water interrupted my toughs about the windows.
'Where am I?'
I recovered a little and looked at my surroundings. It seems I was dragged by the river for a few hours. I am on a little island in the middle of the river, with a violent stream of water passing the sides.
After understanding where I am. I turned to the blue windows at a small distance from my face. I couldn't touch, move or interact with the windows but then after reading them, an idea rose into my mind.
"Open folder, missions" I formulated the sentence based on the doctor's vocabulary.
[ Everyone starts somewhere: The host still didn't unlock all the functions of the system. Therefore, the host was given a mission in order to unlock a new function in a small amount of time ]
[*Objective:
-Kill 100 beings with level one strength
-Absorb 1 core of a being with level two strength ]
[*Status: Incomplete ]
[*Rewards: ('status' folder) ]
'Interesting, there are some words that I have never seen before like folder, mission, or level but I can still understand them'
'I don't know what to do now, my home burned, my friends died and I need to kill those bastards'
I walked around the little island, just some minutes of walking was enough to cover the entire island. I separated some vines and rocks, got a lot of vines together, and intertwined them, making a rope. I tied the tip of the rope to the rock making a rope with a rock at the end. After making a lot of them, I got close to the border of the island.
As I was at the bottom of a canyon, at my front there was a giant wall of curvy rocks.
I trowed the rock with the rope at the wall. Luckily the rock got stuck in some cracks in the wall. I picked up the rest of the ropes and used the one stuck at the wall as support to swim to the wall.
The wall and the island were rather close and I quickly got to the wall. Then started climbing, when I reached the end of a rope, I threw another one, it was all working well until I was almost at the top.
I slipped my feet from a rock and fell. I almost died just like that.
"AAAAAAHHHHH"
*SPLASH* After falling, I swam to the island with all my strength.
*cough* *cough*
I was at the border of the island again with water in my lungs.
'That was dangerous. I was almost taken by the river'
Then I grabbed some more vines and made a very long rope, got two rocks, and started remodeling and sharpening them until I made a stone knife.
I wrapped the long rope around my waist and in a tree, making a safety rope, then skillfully jumped in the water and grabbed the rope I used to climb the first time.
"let's try again" I climbed again and... FELL AGAIN!.
*cough* *cough*
I, not satisfied, tried again, again and again.
After my clothes couldn't be more soaked, laying in the sand, my hands and legs shaking from the overload of exercise.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed angrily and punched the sand. It was the first time I failed so badly at something and I was totally pissed.
"Just you wait, damn Wall, damn river, damn canyon, damn hunters...'
He suddenly became sad, tears falling on the sand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noticing it was darkening I decided to make an improvised tend out of leaves, ropes, and sticks. I was used to sleeping in the forest so the night wasn't unpleasant.
"Okay, I already know what to do. It will work this time"
I start to climb the wall, my hands and legs still a little numb but working. As I reached the danger zone, I slowed down.
"my feet are not gonna slip this time!"
With deep breaths and high concentration, I advanced one step at a time.
Then I reached the top, and with my remaining strength used my arms to finally leave the canyon. Still at the border, I was too excited, forgot the safety rope, and was pulled by it, my feet slipped, and I fell.
"Not today!!!" and with a lot of willpower, in the middle of the air, I quickly grabbed the rope and stabilized myself, then I ascended to the top one more time, pleased after reaching the top again. But this time I got my knife and cut the safety rope, walking away from the border properly.
I turned to the forest and started to walk.
'Just wait Bob. I will kill you' My eyes shone with anger.
I went deeper and deeper into the forest but I couldn't recognize where I was.
'Strange, I explored the entire forest. It should be easy to know where I am'
I entered a very different area of the forest, the leaves on the trees were purple and the wood black. As I got farther into the purple forest, the number of trees and bushes increased. It was getting difficult to walk. Then I entered a more open area, though the sky was covered by purple leaves.
After some more time walking. I found a bunny, but the bunny was too different. With red eyes, and a big horn on the forehead.
*crack*
The bunny heard the sound of the twig breaking and stared at me, we both stared for some time until the bunny suddenly disappears and reappear close to my leg with its mouth open and eyes shining. Then its month buried itself in my leg reaping a part of my skin. I became confused with the pain disturbing my thoughts.
*Ugh* I was used to pain so I quickly recovered.
'The bunny is attacking me? No animal has done that before'
Then the bunny attacked again. I clumsily dodged and fell to the ground, I wasn't used to fighting, the wolves always fought for me.
After becoming a little sad for remembering the wolves, I stood up and got the stone knife. I tried to stab the bunny and missed, the bunny kicked me and I was sent rolling on the floor, my wound bleeding. I couldn't stand up anymore.
'I am so weak... I lost from a kick of a little bunny'
I started feeling helpless. I knew I was weak, but now, it was clear how much. That bunny was way stronger than me.
I saw the bunny approaching. My toughs working faster, the time slowed. I could hear my heart beating, my eyes slowly following the bunny, fear rising inside of me.
'I am gonna die? Now? I still want to know about so many things. I didn't get my revenge yet, I didn't even find who I am...' Fear was increasing more and more as my eyes stared directly at the opened mouth.
Then the bunny jumped and his mouth approached my neck.
My eyes shone, my body recovered a little and moved slightly to the right. The bunny's teeth pierced my left shoulder. My blood flowed out like a river. Instantly, with my right hand, I grabbed my knife and stabbed the bunny.
The blood splashed on my face and it started shaking.
*scriiiihhhh* the bunny made a loud sound while collapsing on top of me. Its eyes darkened, losing all sight of life.
*sigh* With a deep sigh, I was close to passing out.
'No, I can't sleep now... I need to close the wounds first'
I looked at my clothes, they were stolen from the village. I ripped them apart to make a bandage around my leg and shoulder.
I didn't want to sleep in the middle of the forest but my body couldn't move too much so I had to be satisfied, when I was ready to pass out, a lot of blue windows appeared in my vision.

I stared at the windows but was too tired to read them.
'What a short and long day at the same time' I thought as I fell asleep.
