Streams of tears trickled down Tyr's face, like waterfalls from his eyes.
The tip of his nose was red, and his eyes were also slightly swollen.
'That was my grandfather... he looked much younger than what remember though.'
His nose burned with pain, something that happened often after crying. But despite this, he didn't feel much of an emotional connection to what he had just seen.
'I'm crying?' He questioned, noticing the moisture on his face.
Even though he didn't feel an emotional bond to those memories at this moment, it seemed his body did. His body yearned to cry for those memories for a reason he didn't know himself.
Everything from the memory was still so hazy in Tyr's brain. But from what he could surmise:
'Those people wanted Gramps to take me and the grimoire to a weak place with no Aura. Could that have been Earth?' Right now, Tyr was still unsure about these memories.
Sure, they seemed very real to him now that he had experienced it for himself, but at the same time, he was living a normal life just days ago.
Believing in something like this was going to take some getting used to.
If he were to believe in it though, it would mean that what Tyr just witnessed was something that he needed to never forget.
Especially those last words coming from his grandfather.
'I am the only one who can do it huh?' Tyr paused, staring at the sky through the thin canopy: 'What have you put on my shoulders now, you old man?'
Tyr wiped his tears and donned a determined look: "Well, whatever it is. I guess I have no choice but to bear it. GG did say this was only my first memory. Maybe I'll understand more about my early years as I continue to get stronger and unlock more of them."
He didn't waste any more time and began to salvage the creatures that he had killed.
Now, Tyr had more reasons to become stronger. At first, his reasoning was only to make his life easier. To be able to hunt better and increase his chances of survival.
But now, Tyr wanted to get stronger to unlock more of these memories. To understand who he really was, and what the meaning behind all of these mysteries was.
Also, he wanted to get stronger so he could uphold whatever responsibility that was given to him by his grandfather.
He didn't know whether that required strength, but if it was like any other expectation ever put onto Tyr... it definitely did.
After a few minutes, Tyr got the small orb from all of the 4 beasts that he killed.
They all looked identical--gray with a slight shine. He now had five of them including the one from the first Earth Wolf.
After, he put his hands on his hips and observed the corpses. They were far enough away to where he didn't have to worry about them attracting anything else near his base.
Other than that, what he needed most right now was...
His stomach abruptly grumbled loudly.
He needed food more than anything. His adrenaline and excitement were so high that he had completely forgotten about it.
Yesterday, all he killed was a bag of leaves and dirt, so he didn't really have a choice but to stay hungry.
Now, however, he had two actual options in front of him.
"There's the leopard..." Tyr said with a slightly disgusted expression. He turned to face the other option: "And then there's the boar. Out of the two, I'd rather not eat the predator cat... it just doesn't seem right. After all, humans never really eat meat eaters. We eat herbivores."

It took him over an hour to drag the Carniboar corpse near the stream he found yesterday.
And then it took him two more hours to skin, gut, and filet the thing so he could cook it.
After that came the hardest part... the part that he had been dreading almost all day.
When he tried to create a fire yesterday, it had utterly failed--leaving him to almost freeze to death through the night. At least that's what it felt like.
This time, however, he was much more confident. Although he had been dreading making a fire, that was only up until he killed the beasts. More specifically, the slime.
He brought the slime corpse with him. After making a campfire outside of his cave and placing kindling at the bottom, he lifted the slime over it.
Using the angle of sunray piercing through the treetops, Tyr was able to get a sharp and condensed beam of light to form through the slime's reflective body.
He shined this beam directly at the kindling. In mere seconds, an ember erupted onto the kindling--quickly becoming bigger as Tyr threw the slime to the side and added more sticks.
He made sure the fire wasn't going to die out before jumping up into the air with a large grin across his face.
"FIRE!!! WE HAVE FIRE BABY!"

He slowly grilled the boar atop a flat stone, finally getting to eat his first meal on this new planet near the end of the day.
He grabbed a thin strip of meat which he cut off using a sharp stone and placed it right over his tongue.
He hadn't eaten in so long that an explosion of aroma burst throughout his mouth.
He took his first bite--the boar meat almost melting on his tongue as its rich and flavourful juices began to flow down his throat.
His eyes were closed, his nose puffing out the steam as he wholeheartedly enjoyed this surreal moment.
Each bite gave way to more juice, each movement of his tongue transporting him to an entirely new dimension of flavor.
As he swallowed, he felt his entire body welcome that meat, revitalizing from the inside as if he just put points into his stats!
By the time it had gotten dark, he had inhaled over 5 pounds of boar meat. Safe to say, he was fucking stuffed.
His stomach was so big that he looked like a pregnant woman lying on the floor belly up.
While looking at the stars, Tyr placed his hand on his gut and burped loudly.
'Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna get strong as hell. Physical training is a must. Even if I evolve my stats, I don't want my physique to lag behind. Who wants to be strong while looking like a twig? And of course, I'll need to focus on leveling up my stats more than anything else. With Blink Step, I know it's going to be several times easier than what it was today.'
Tyr paused his thought, a smirk playing at his lips:
'Let the hunt begin.'
