Chapter 1 : Living hungry

Some people like to say that they love nature, that they wish they had been born in a time when there were no phones, computers or technology to enjoy life.

This kind of person, I have only one thing to say to you.

"FUCK YOU! Agh!!!!!!!!"

James rolled around on the floor in tears with snot dripping from his nose while his belly rumbled desperately asking for food.

Beside him several men and women dressed in animal skin, their bodies so dirty that dirt had become a second skin to them, their hair badly combed with a body odor that could kill even the most resistant cockroach, they looked at him in amazement while walking away from him in fear.

James, seeing this, slowly rose from the ground with tears in his eyes before looking at his so-called friends of the same species.

It all started a few weeks before, he was a young professor of literature who had just been hired at a university as a professor, but on his first day of class wanting to thank the most famous experimental physics professor at his university who had recommended him for the teaching position, he entered his laboratory and accidentally dropped a vial with a strange substance on an unknown machine and then a big explosion occurred, he lost consciousness and woke up in the body of a teenager as thin as a nail, dressed in animal skin.

He received the memory of the teenager whose body he stole and understood his situation.

First of all, he was in a prehistoric community of barely eleven people who were all natives or rather survivors of a tribe that had been devoured by a saber-toothed tiger about ten meters high.

Second, he was no longer in his world of origin, how did he know? Because there are two fucking moons in the sky!

Thirdly his parents were devoured by the Tiger as they were running away from the tribe so he was orphaned, there were no adults left with them as he had all been eaten by the Tiger, there were only him and the eleven kids staring at him as if he was a madman.

And finally, he would starve to death!

Wiping away his tears, he pointed to one of the kids who had survived and said in English.

"My friend, just by looking at you I can see that you are a worthy person, and if you would sacrifice yourself for others? you know the human flesh is edible! No you don't know that because you are a savage! But you only need to know that in times of crisis you have to make sacrifices!"

"But don't worry, I'll never forget you! Even after I devour you, I'll even make a statue in your honor to commemorate your sacrifice."

The young boy, although he didn't understand what James just said, was suddenly frightened when he saw James' hungry eyes and the saliva flowing from his mouth as if he was looking at a delicious steak.

The young boy cried and retreated in fear as a girl came in front of him as if to protect him while watching James vigilantly.

James then shook his head and sighed.

"Even in prehistoric times, human beings are selfish, you really have no sense of sacrifice."

Then an idea suddenly occurred to him.

"It's too dangerous to hunt but there must be edible plants or fruits!"

He looked around for a while and found no fruit trees and then he went beyond the forest and wanted to go for fruit but hearing the howling of wild animals he quickly forgot the idea of going deeper into the forest.

Then under the amazed eyes of his companions James began to dig the ground trying to find roots of edible plants.

"Nettles, plantain, clover, daisy, ivy, bedstraw, brambles as long as I find one of these plants I can at least get a decent nutritional intake, please I want to eat! You my father who are in heaven help me!"

James's companions, even more convinced that he had gone mad, moved further away.

James continued searching for over thirty minutes before finding a plant with a yellow flower that gave off a faint yellow glow that he uprooted while laughing.

"Haha a dandelion! Its roots are edible! Well this one's a little shiny and radioactive looking but it's either that or starve to death."

He removed the roots of the plant then bit a big blow devouring quickly the root then threw the flower, he continued to uproot the so-called dandelion that he found before suddenly feeling his belly hurt.

He ran quickly behind a bush shouting.

"Damn it, damn it! AGH!"

After nearly three hours of intensive draining, he left the bushes with a leaner body and a haggard face.

Finally he fell to the ground tired and fell asleep under the curious gaze of his companions who cried out in surprise as a bright blue aura began to emanate from James' sleeping body.
