章 3: Problem (1)

(Dam stingy god rigging the skill books to give me the cooking skills.)

After walking and mumbling curses to that god Keres stopped and examined the hammer in his hand. In his anger, he didn't notice that the hammer was as light as a feather despite being made out of what looks like steel. The handle is wrapped in black leather that is easy to grip despite even though it looks smooth to the eye. Finding a tree to rest on Keres begins to contemplate.

(Alright focus I've got to find a landmark. What can I do? Hmm.)

Keres begins to look at the tree above him. He slowly gets up and starts climbing. Reaching the top of the tall tree he pokes his head out of the treeline.

( Woah! That's the tallest tower I have ever seen. Also what a huge city surrounding it. What world am I in? Dam I can't remember at the moment. Alright, the tower is southeast. The distance is give or take about I don't know miles.)

After climbing down Keres begins his trek towards the tower as the sun begins its descent.

(Need to find food and shelter before the night falls. Finding a shelter shouldn't be a problem. But to hunt with a hammer?)

While walking with the hammer in hand Keres notices a cute bunny hopping in front of him.

*Rumble*

(Forgive me little bunny)

The bunny noticing something is wrong becomes still for just a moment. Unfortunately, that was all the time Keres needed. Disappearing from where he was and reappearing above the bunny Keres swung his hammer towards the bunny's head.

*Crack*

*CracK*

Grabbing the bunny and putting it into his space storage along with his hammer. Keres begins his task of building a fire.

(It looks like short distance teleporting doesn't seem to take much from me and is pretty accurate as well. I'm pretty sure the mana required will increase along with the distance. Will extra weight increase the cost as well? Will accuracy decrease with distance too? Hmmm.)

With a small fire going Keres took out the bunny preparing to cook it. As he retrieved the bunny he froze as he just realized he had nothing to cut the bunny with.

(F*ck! I'm sorry little bunny it looks like I can't eat you just yet.)

Leaving the bunny out. Keres begins to contemplate what to do next as he warms himself by the fire.

*Rumble*

(Hunger is coming in and night will fall soon. I need to get out of the forest as fast as possible since I can't properly prepare food.)

*Rumble*

(And I have to eat something.)

*Warning Graphic Content ahead*

Keres grabbed the bunny and set it in the fire. Taking out his hammer he tried to roast the bunny as evenly as possible. After a few minutes of being roasted, the bunny's fur was burnt off, it's skin charred black, and a pungent smell wafted into the air.
