Ch - 001 - New Reality

...Lord, me lord!!

Hmnn...!

Wake up me lord.

Augh...!!!

Me lord, me lord...

Aaargh, shut up, shut uuup.

Sigh!

Such an unpleasant way to wake up.

Such a horrofic start up daily routine.

.

What happened to the sunlights breaking through glassic window?

What about the concrete four walls and ceiling?

The comfortable single bed, soft mattress and the heavenly blanket?

Most importantly, electricity, network, gaming PC set and... Especially mine secret folder!!

All gone

All became past, history...

Only in me dreams can I see them

Though, seeing these thing in me dreams is not enough, still it's me only happiness

The last rays of hope

Yet these shits of mine awakens me so early in the morning

Breaks me pinky dreams

To bring me back to this nightmarish reality!

.

Are you okey me lord?

Sigh~

With this so long sigh, there's no going back to the dreamy world!!

Already gone...

Can't even remember what was the dream.

Food ready??

Yes me lord.

Ok...

This is how the short conversation ended.

After all, can't speak properly when I woke up moments ago, all me servants knows this, so I ought to be cooperative to keep it as short as possible, which is why I already stood up.

.

By the way...!

This modest cave is mine

Me temporary castle

Yup, it's so huge in the inside as it seem

Yet we're occupying only the tip of the iceberg, the cleanest part which is the closest to the entrance...

.

Aagh~

So relaxing...

Baths really cleans the inside same like the outside.

Yes, it's the usual warm bath right before breakfast.

So lucky to find this magical pond

I mean it's very warm despite the cold weather, winter about it's end, or so I think, but the cold doesn't seem to be fading yet...!

Or!!

Does this place have an extreme weather?

Can't be sure, because there's no way to

.

Your suit, me lord

Tsk, Tsk..

I hate this voice, it always bring me back to the current reality.

Guuu

This "guu" sound came out from mine belly

Welp! Have to get out of the bath, really hungry, can't complain anymore, no more wasting time, no more relaxing.

.

Me suit!

Is actually the only cape we have, it's a trophy of mine, for me only...

So to clarify, of course I wear something under, is what we call a "fullbody leather", after all we don't have enough skills to make leather coat, leather trouser or such, just wearing the leather around the body doesn't make it like clothes, covering enough body parts just to resist the cold.

I only wear the cape as the LORD of this whole area, the huge cave inside the mountain, the mountain itself and the area around it, all mine...

The very owner of the land.

.

Sitting on the ground to eat with me, surely doesn't fit a landlord, not even the food.

Just fruits

That's natural for how we live

I can't eat something special, we all eat the same food, because we eat what we can collect, what we can find and of course, cooking is out of our choices

Nobody can cook

The one time we hunted down a black bear, resulted in many injuries, and I almost lost me life...

Right, about cooking, we couldn't make any soup with it's meat, it's taste was...!

Let's not talk about the taste

Don't want to remember

Especially not while eating me breakfast

Anyway, not like we have any thing to cook the meat, so a big part of it ended with spoiled soup and what remained turned to barbeque.

Pear, persimon, pomelo...

Have to bear with these, and some other for lunch time like the nutritious yummy avocado, and the sweat dates, the fuel of the day anytime when needed.

.

Despite the chilly breezes we have to work.

Though I said "cold" previously, when we move our muscles, body warmth increase, the more difficult labour the warmer we get, so... It's just chilly weather while at work.

Naturally, our day start with wood cutting.

Logs and logs

Aaand... More logs

There's a huge reserve of woods

But it became like morning's warm up habit

Though we need all the wood we have

Huge part of the reason would be because, I have no idea if winter season about to end or if it's cold like this the whole year, or if worse weather yet to come.

.

The second huge part of the reason would be to make our home, that is why am calling me cave as a temporary castle, or at the very least it's current interior, who know!!

Might as well turn it to a real castle later on.

Like in the movies you know!!

Even if built with stones, woods still needed as a mediator at the building process.

Welp!

That's a very laaater futuristic plan

Didn't start yet

To be honest, we can't start that now

Not very soon even if I want to

Basically, we're lacking so much

In techniques, materials and tools

.

The warm up is finished, me lord.

My servant no.1 came to declare the end of our first daily activity.

Time sure fly so fast when you're doing a laborious work, especially when you're so used to it.

Yes am talking about me included, though I'm the sooo lazy kind

I have to warm up too, right!?

Like they say :

"The healthy mind in the healthy body"

Anyway, I take me cape, of course wouldn't work properly while it's on, had to remove it earlier, to efficiently cut many logs like others.

.

We all the same in this part of routine, but this end for me only and co-workers that helps me at the library, so I wore the cape to do mine role as a noble landlord, it's to keep as much heat in me body, because there's no more labour work for me today.

.

Torch

Around it the wood boards we made

It's not to build anything

But to write on it

Yes, you heard me well

To write on wooden boards

But am using knives

It's not easy

We depend on the heated up knives to carve

This to draw a clear black lines on boards

And the said "Torch" is a special magical item, treasure or maybe an artifact.

The exact suitable name doesn't matter till I find out about all it's features, that's assuming it have other features aside of the unextinguished flame.

.

Me library

It's centered around the torch

For the time being it's used like this

A 24/7 light

An endless lighter (to start/ignite a fire)

A heater to heat up the tip of the knives that we use as pen before it gets colder, the "we" here refers to me and co-workers (other servant) who helps me writing the history of this place, because I can't achieve that alone, to be specific, what we record daily I won't be able to finish, so me work would stack up.

.

Wondering what we record??

Of course things such as the amount of logs we cut daily, our food that we collected yesterday and how much we ate till today's breakfast, or how many fire woods been burned last night, that's what me servants do.

But...!

For me, I write me future plans, or projects of sort, with me servant no.2 we discuss today's plans or tomorrow's if something changed or if we expect something to change so soon.

Basically this library of wooden boards is the history of our past, or the history of our upcoming future...

.

When did this whole New Reality started?

Like four months...! Maybe?

Not so sure, didn't record anything from the start, back then me whole focus were about how to survive, before anything else, I was so confused that I couldn't accept this new magical world...

No memory how it happened.

But If I've been asked this :

When did the lanlord role started?

It's easy to answer, because three months ago!... 89x days ago to be specific, back then I carved the day one, especially on unique stone, the beginning of me new era.
