Chapter 5 - Chapter 05: First Kill!!!

I started gathering resources which I could farm—some stone, flint, berries. I did collect metal but not much, Because of continuous gathering, I am 50% full for another level-up. I tried to see if there is any other quest which shows in the quest interface.

Ding!

QUEST {Complete}

Goal: Collect different resources

Reward: 50 XP

Ohh!! So I just completed a quest without knowing.

Ding!

Player Level Up +1

AP: 11

I did not distribute the AP for now. What I was really thinking about is how can I get out from this ARCH world and go to the real one. I know that in the game Arch: Survival Evolved there was time dilation, but from here I can't say how much for now. So my aim should be to procure food, clothes, some type of weapon, and hide sleeping bag which can help me out in Arch and in the real world. I don't wanna sleep in a makeover bed and start cursing Trunk-kun. He might be bad, but he has given me this opportunity, so I will try not to hate him for now—at least until I die again.

So I started farming berries—lots of berries. I saw Diplodosaurs moving in groups, making hissing sounds and attacking Dodos. You don't attack my chicken—they will be my source of food or source of tasty meat. As I said this, I wiped some drool which was coming out from my mouth. In my previous world (Green Star), I loved eating meat, especially chicken. I have tried most of the recipes which can be commonly found on websites. If a person saw me right now, he would see a person in pink Barbie boxers squatting behind a rock, drooling while ogling the Dodo. I might have got two to three alias names like pervert if seen by others.

After observing for a few more seconds, I started cutting thatch, wood, and more stones. While farming stones, I also got flint and metal from time to time.

My aim is sleeping bag before I go out from the game and I think it is a level 4 item, so I have to level up too. I went to my quest interface to see if I have any new quests on.

Ding!!

Quest

A Warm Fire

Craft and place a campfire

Reward: 100 XP and 2 Embers

Ohh embers!!!

So I can purchase different items, but I don't have any new interface. I might get the shop feature in future and be able to progress faster.

Okay, now how to make campfire? Let's see in the crafting interface.

Thatch, wood, flint and stone —I know what I need the most in a campfire. Plus, I also know that just after this quest, the quest for sleeping bag will come.

Which I have to make before the nightfall.

There is lots of time before night, I think. So I started farming more. After 2 hours of continuous farming for wood, stone, flint, some metals, and thatch, I sat near a tree. Damn, this is fucking tiring. I can't do this. When will I be able to tame the dinos? I need water and want to clean myself. After sitting for a while, I stood up and walked towards the ocean. I knew a few things—water here is drinkable, or my immune system is this strong that it might not get affected by ocean water.

As I closed up towards the lake which is connected to the ocean, I saw many dinosaurs like Triceratops, Parasaur, and Dodos, but all of them were herbivores. Until I poke them myself, they will not attack me. I drank the water and it tastes like normal water, not salty. Uff, I don't have to worry about some water now, but still I will make the water pouch. I will bring it to another world so that I don't have to use that pot!!!

After resting for 30 minutes, I went towards my crafting interface and saw that I have sufficient resources to make a campfire. Plus, I will be able to make 10 wood spears with the rest of it. I need this for hunting Dodo and Diplodosaurs.

Craft. EP: 27

--------------------------

My EP got to 27,I equipped spear and hatchet from storage interface.

Just by thinking about the spear, it appeared in my right hand. Then I thought of the hatchet, and it came into my left hand. As I thought about the stone pickaxe, it got exchanged with the hand that had the hatchet.

After playing around a bit with how my equipment can appear and disappear, I searched for the safest place I could find on Footpaw Island to place the campfire. I'll also make my initial base over there so that I can remain safe and sound until I am strong enough to kill as many dinosaurs as I can.

I searched and decided to make the place that is facing the ocean my temporary base area. It's the safest spot—only non-aggressive dinos are roaming around. Dodo is one of them. I really wanted to kill one and see how I could harvest meat from them.

So, as I approached a Dodo, I silently moved closer and closer until I was sure that if I threw my spear, it would be a guaranteed headshot. I stretched my hand back. One last time, I wanted to see what the Dodo was doing. It was plucking insects, eating them, and looking left and right from time to time.

I aimed at its head, and a little dot came out of nowhere and helped me aim. I was surprised at first, but I just ignored it. I didn't want to miss this opportunity, so I threw the spear as fast as I could. The spear shot through the air with a "Whoosh" sound, broke through the Dodo's skull, and kept going—it embedded right into a tree. Half of the spear was sticking out from the tree, and the other half was behind it.

My first kill!! And tasty meat !!!
