“What's the random card again... after...”

The man sighs.

I'm not possessed by ghosts, I'm blaming it for not being able to get a grip on what's going on.

But the obvious thing is...

It is true that the wound on the rat was cleanly healed with the word level-up.

It's true that it's hard to believe in reality.

Thinking of the pain that the teeth of monstrous rats dig flesh, which is incomparable with pinching their thighs with their fingers...

It's also hard to think it's not real.

“Damn... what's going on. ”

The man grumbles and stares at the cell phone message again.

I don't know what's going on in English, but it's not Dory who gives it to me.

Even more so if it is a reward for biting and fighting those rats.

The man lifts his finger and presses Y.

Then I wanted to see if a card appeared on the screen as if it were a coin, but there was a picture similar to a trading card.

Congrats!

“Biting?”

Somehow, I was forced to frown because I felt the sensation of biting a monster rat once before.

The man again pressed to confirm the card details.

“... ”

The man glances at the cell phone screen for a moment and grinds it unavoidably.

“Game... hoo...”

The man who sighed quietly closed his eyes and sank his heart.

“Yes... I'll do it. This fucking game. ”

I muttered and registered my skill card, but I don't feel like anything has changed.

By the way...

Bite it.

Next time there's another battle, you have to fight with your teeth instead of your hands.

I'm standing there in a fumbling thought...

I got a message again.

Start the tutorial.

2. Let's start a fire.

Get the most out of your tools and start a fire. (Not achieved)

“Is it fire this time? ”

But when I think about setting the fire on fire, I can only stop it.

If you smoke a cigarette, you may have a common lighter or a match, but unfortunately, the man did not have any of these because he had quit smoking.

Once I took out what I had, I took it back.

However, it is only one receipt that can be used as a multi-tool and a firecracker that is not very helpful.

I was just wondering if you could rob me of my wallet, but...

Unlike cards and cash, it was just a coupon and an instant lottery ticket that I didn't even remember when I bought it.

A man usually sees a lot of documentary stuff, so he knew a lot about different ways to set fire to these bad conditions.

However, most methods are often premised on the assumption that minimal tools exist.

For example, a way to gather sunlight and set a fire requires a tool that can serve as a convex lens or concave mirror.

You can't have a Pitti bottle, a metal utensil, a glass bottle, a plastic bag, or even a lump of ice, but unfortunately you can't even find enough garbage to do that here. It's also a problem that the sun itself rarely shines.

There are other ways to use silver-paper, such as two batteries and a piece of gum paper, but there is no such thing.

There are many other ways, but not all of them are possible right now.

After all, all that's left is...

It is only a primitive method using friction heat.

As the day was getting darker, the man rushed around the woods and began searching for something useable as firewood or firecrackers.

A man who found thin bark, dead branches, and wood-based mushrooms similar to pearl mushrooms piled them up in one place.

The man now picks two branches of moderate length and a thick bark to make a bow drill.

Loosen the shoelaces and tie them to the long branches to make the bow difficult.

The base to be located below is set in a thick bark stripped from a dead tree nest.

The man makes a small groove in the bark of the tree with the cork crater part of the multitool, then widens the groove with a knife.

It is important to create a passageway to allow hot ash to escape from the groove.

Just give me a groove so that the hot ashes don't clump together and scatter, so the smoke will go out in no time. However, if you create a passage, the hot ashes caused by friction will clump together and will not go out easily.

The tools are so crude, and it's the first time I've actually tried them. A man can only make the tools he needs after a very dark day.

The man twists an bow into the thick branch of a mop sack that trims round the end.

When the branches to be frictioned are too thin, it is difficult to ignite them. The thicker the branches, the greater the area of contact when rotating, the greater the friction heat, and the easier it is to ignite.

A man with a broad leaf under the bark of a tree used as a support brought a branch of the bow into the groove, and likewise began to round the bow by pressing the top of the rod with a piece of wood.

As I pushed the bow back and forth from the top, something like a brown sawdust began to fall into the passageway next to the groove, but no smoke came out.

The man turned around the bow even harder.

I want to hear a bad friction for a while, but I can only hear the noise.

How long has it been?

Finally, the white smoke rises faintly from the tall brown sawdust.

The man quickly clears the base and carefully lifts the outer leaf on the floor.

There was something like a brown sawdust that was stacked about the size of a finger and was smoking white smoke.

The man carefully wraps it up with a pre-prepared fire extinguisher.

Smash the wood-based mushrooms around a piece of receipts that is stubborn enough to form a fluff, and let the outermost faults of the bark burst into thin air with a firecracker wrapped around a smoky brown sawdust.

But even though it was so precious, the smoke didn't last long and disappeared.

“Damn it...”

What went wrong?

The man was overwhelmed by a feeling of exhaustion, but he could not give up here.

Even if it's a tutorial or something...

Because I was afraid to spend the night in the same darkness as yesterday.

“Whoops...”

Hold your breath and move the bow again.

Whether it was thanks to the friction that had already been applied once, this time the smoke began to rise rapidly.

The man waits for a large enough amount of brown sawdust to gather, and then gathers it and wraps it up again carefully with a spark plug.

With both hands wrapped still, a mild but subtle warmth has been transmitted through the palms of the hands.

Carefully, very carefully, the man breathes.

And then...

Slowly, very slowly, I wonder if white smoke is blooming inside the flamethrower, but in an instant, the smoke starts to bloom as if it had been smoked.

And a little while later, a red flame blossomed.

“Hahahahaha!”

The man quickly lowered the lit fire cap to the ground and placed firewood on top of it.

Then the message that I was waiting for finally arrives on my phone again.

Start the tutorial.

2. Let's start a fire.

Get the most out of your tools and start a fire. (Achieved)

Done!

Reward: Slight EXP

Would you like to claim your reward now? (Y/n)_

(Note) Unclaimed rewards will be automatically voided after 7 days.

Some EXP again this time.

The man pressed Y.

However, unlike before, no response occurred and no message arrived that the level had risen.

“Tsk...”

Perhaps the experience of fighting monstrous rats has increased.

The reward was weak, but the man sat in front of the bonfire he had set up, comforting that he had found a way to defeat this terrible darkness.

The front is hot with light, and the back is strangely cold with wind.

The man stares at the flame that blazes quietly as if he was possessed by something.

However, Mocha's break was broken by the ringing of a cell phone message notification.

“... ”

To let you know the message.

The man realized that his cell phone battery had not been drained at all.

“Haha... the King will charge the ship instead of the cell phone battery. ”

As he grumbled and looked at the screen, there was something new written on it.

Start the tutorial.

3. Let's make food.

Let's grill the rat meat. (0/5)

“... ”

The man looks at the carcasses of the rats scattered over there without a word.

And I looked back at the rat meat that I had cut and thrown on one side.

“Oops...”

Immediately, the humiliation rises.

In a hungry yard... I've been nauseous a few times.

“Damn it...”

The man got up from his seat whining and approached a piece of mutilated rat meat.

Then I took it and stuck it in a skewer and started baking it in the fire.

It felt disgusting to think of the corpse of a monster rat scattered over there, but...

It starts to burn in the fire, so it smells good.

“That's crazy.”

Shortly after, the five pieces of meat were graciously roasted and held in the hands of a man.

Then I get a message back to my phone.

Start the tutorial.

3. Let's make food.

Let's grill the rat meat. (5/5)

Done!

Reward: Slight EXP

Would you like to claim your reward now? (Y/n)_

(Note) Unclaimed rewards will be automatically voided after 7 days.

“Afterwards...”

After pressing Y, the man closes his eyes and rips open a piece of meat in his hand.

Rat meat...

It was quite tastier than I thought.
