One week has pa.s.sed since I came here, I had made it my routine to continuously hunt for monsters in order to eat their meat. In the process, I had levelled up several times and gained some more skills.

Power and Defense improvement. Their power was reflected in combat. Although I had been bitten by a red dog whilst hunting, I was surprised to see that I was only dented a little, despite the fact that the attack had been on my bare skin. My body seems stronger than I could have ever imagined.

The degree to which my defense rose is good, i also obtained the s.h.i.+eld skill from it. However, since I don’t have a s.h.i.+eld, I can’t check it out. I’ll have to try it when i get a s.h.i.+eld.

I was happy that I could use freezing magic now. I tested it out by trying to create a small snowstorm as well as freeze an individual target and fire icicles.

Because the level of my freezing magic was low, the snowstorm was not very powerful. At best, it can be used as a refrigerator.

I could also create an ice block in a place of my choosing. When used in conjunction with flame magic, I won’t have to worry about running out of drinkable water.

I had collected a fair amount of monster cores. If I keep staying here, I won’t be able to sell them for money. It’s wasteful.

I decided to aim for a village this time, because I can understand rough geographical features thanks to my mapping skill, I scouted around my base.

There was a long stripe on the map, it seems to be a highway. I decided to walk towards it.

Although a walk this long would have tired out my past self, I didn’t feel fatigued at all. Along the way, I was attacked by familiar demons, but I defeated them almost instantly. I’ve become stronger.

After a while, I reach the highway. On the map, the road seems to branch out; South, East and West. Which one should I go down to reach a village?

I was initially worried, but I put that aside and decided to go South.

As i was walking, I realised an important thing. Although it’s possible to meet other people, i won’t be able to understand their language. I can’t even read and write, let alone speak to a person from this world.

Whilst I think about it, a status screen appears.
