1 In The Wilderness
"Am I dreaming? Where is this place?"
Looking at his surroundings, he noticed that he was inside a cave.
"What's this thing?"
Clueless as to why he was wearing some weird clothes.
"Some kind of animal fur." He thought to himself.
"The last thing I remember... I was looking at my pc and was watching my favorite show on Netflix, It was the last season and I was pumped, that's why I bought a bucket of chicken."
Remembering the taste and smell of his food. He immediately felt hungry.
"How long was I asleep?" "What kind of prank is this!?"
He immediately went out of the cave and had the cold breeze from the ocean hit his face.
He was standing on the top of a mountain overlooking the sea.
What a wonderful view it was.
"Wow. Beautiful... But this is no time to admire the view, I need to go home!"
"I need to find a road. That will lead me to people." he thought to himself.
He walked and walked for more than two hours, climbing down the mountain but found nothing.
His feet were already sore.
"Dang it. Should've done a bit of exercise back then. "
As the woods grew thicker and thicker.
The faint sound of water reached his ear. He then rushed to where the sound was and found a small stream. He was so thirsty and hurriedly drank from the stream. Looking at the water, he sees his reflection. There he finds a younger version of himself, wearing fur and had a really long hair.
"Woah! I didn't even notice, my hair is a lot longer. Wait... Why do I look like a teenager?"
He was still confused when he heard a strange sound. (Ting!)
And then it hit him!
~Mission:
1. Find a Water Source - ✔complete
2. Make a Shelter - ongoing
3. Secure Food - ongoing
4. Hunt an Animal - ongoing
5. Find the Village - ongoing~
Suddenly, a game-like menu appeared in front of him.
"What this? I had a mission?"
"Is this some kind of a game? Really?"
He tried touching it but his hands went through.
"This looks very realistic. Even better than the way I imagined it."
It was his dream, he has always been a gamer since he was a kid.
He knew exactly what to do, he was an Otaku and was filled with excitement and fear at the same time. He then shouted with all of his might.
"Status!"

"I knew it!" "This is indeed a game!"
He then examined his status and noticed a big problem.
Funny how his stomach started growling at the same time.
"I need to find a source of food soon or I'll starve to death."
At this rate, he would only last for more than a day.
With a grim look on his face and knowing that he might die of hunger.
Kuma then sets out to find a food source.
Four hours later:
He was shy and didn't want to try, but it was bugging him.
He needed to say it. It may be the only thing that could save him in this unknown world.
In his head was the word, Majic.
"Okay, here goes nothing... Firebolt!" Nothing happened.
"Wind Slash! Water Ball! Earth Wall! Wingardium Laviosa! etc. etc." Still, nothing happened.
"Dang it!" He thought.
And then he remembered his only skill.
"Status." He said.

****Skills: Analyze Lv.1~****
He picked up the nearest thing he could, a flower that resembles a rose and has a color of pale blue. He then whispered.
He said: "Analyze."
~Flower x1~
"Pretty useless I think. Even I can see that this is a flower." He thought to himself.
But then he remembered that his skill was level 1. Then an idea hit him.
"I should try to analyze as much as I can and then it might help me level up the skill".
For the next thirty minutes or so, he continued to whisper "Analyze." to anything he can get his hands on.
A rock, a leaf, another flower, a mushroom, more rocks, more leaves, and finally after a good twenty minutes of using Analyze, he noticed something.
~Rock (small): Can be used as a tool~
"Finally!" he said "Status."

Excited by this seemingly small progress he continued to go down the mountain in search of food.
After another three more hours of going down the mountain, his hope slowly dwindled. His health was slowly depleting, he hasn't found any food yet. He was also getting thirsty.
And then he heard it again, another stream nearby. He went and grabbed a handful of water, drinking away his thirst.
"I need to get ready, I won't always be lucky like this."
"I think this is a good place to find some rocks."
He then settled with trying to make a weapon. After more than an hour, he finally finished his makeshift, throwing spear.
~ Beginner Spear: A dull ineffective spear.
Damage: 5, Durability 8/30~
"Better than nothing." He muttered to himself.
Feeling a sense of accomplishment, he was now more determined than ever to find food. Unfortunately, by this time his health was only 25/50. He was about to leave the stream when he heard something.
(snap, snap) Branches snapped in a nearby direction.
He looked down and saw a big creature.
Drinking water from the stream, about ten meters away from him was a large deer, almost about three meters tall, including the antlers. Kuma was in awe. It was the most beautiful creature he has ever seen. This seemingly overgrown deer has a compact torso with long, slender legs and a small tail. Huge antlers that looked so strong even from a distance.
He felt a weird aura coming from this creature. He immediately knew that this creature was dangerous and in his current state, there was no way he could hunt down a monster like this. He ducked and tried to hide from the monster.
He tried to walk backward and slowly leave the stream. As if hearing his movement the large deer looked in his direction. Their eyes met.
Kuma was definitely afraid, who knew if this large creature was territorial, it would mean his untimely death. The creature just stared at him for a few seconds. This was the longest few seconds of his life.
As if not minding him, the creature turned back to drinking. Kuma took this chance to slowly leave.
He didn't even dare to look back. He went in the opposite direction for a good fifteen minutes.
Sad that he left the stream, but happy that he kept his life, he went back to climbing down the mountain.
