SEE DINOSAURS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WAKE UP TO REALITY

Fer's hair stood on end when he heard the sound from behind the rock where he was. He cursed himself in his mind for not paying attention from the beginning when he arrived on this island, with the regretful excitement of having traveled to a game and discovering the mods that suddenly appeared, plus the virtualization of his body and the obsession with exhausting his energy and recovering it, made him unconsciously forget that he was in a dangerous place.

He wanted to slap himself for his carelessness, but he couldn't do that since the sounds were getting closer and closer, and he didn't want to lose focus in this situation.

As the footsteps approached, Fer wouldn't stand still waiting for the unknown danger.

Fortunately, when the mod's requirements were met, the materials and items were consumed, so Fer's weight was almost empty, and his mobility had returned to normal.

Moving slowly, Fer crouched, circling the rock slowly, at the same pace as the sounds circled the rock from the opposite side. When Fer rounded the rock, still crouched, he slowly turned his head, only letting half of it peek around the corner of the rock, which was large enough for Fer to hide behind without trouble.

…

When Fer saw what was making the sound, he was stunned. In front of him, he saw a familiar creature; it was…

"A DODO?" Fer thought, a little incredulous.

He had been scared and almost panicked when he heard an unknown sound, and it turned out that all the noise was coming from a simple dodo. This made Fer blush with embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no one to witness this situation; if there had been, he would have faced endless teasing from many people.

But not everything was embarrassing because this situation reminded Fer that he couldn't relax.

Thinking about this, Fer calmed down, and his normal state of mind returned. When he discovered that the sounds came from dozens of dodos wandering around, he got up from behind the rock, more relaxed.

When he stood up suddenly, it made all the present dodos simultaneously raise their heads to look at Fer. Their gazes showed emotions that hadn't been seen in the ARK game. The emotions in their eyes were cautious and a little aggressive, but they didn't dare attack first.

Fer was greatly surprised to notice the unusual behavior of these dodos when they saw him, unlike in the ARK game, where the unusual ones barely had what could be called intelligence.

Compared to what Fer was seeing with his eyes, the dodos in the game were simply brainless fools compared to the ones he was currently seeing.

For now, Fer didn't dare to make any hostile move against these dodos, which he previously considered easy prey. But now that he saw their changes, he didn't intend to do anything for the moment, so he took a step back to go behind the rock where he had been just seconds earlier.

But before Fer could take a second step back, he saw a white beam rise about 50 meters in front of him and the dozen dodos. When Fer saw this beam emitting many white particles, his expression turned to one of ecstasy.

You should know that these airdrops falling from the sky contained things inside, and the best thing was that this airdrop was white, so even at level 1, he could open it and collect all its contents.

Fer was in no hurry to go to the airdrop, so he cautiously circled the rock on his side, and after circling it, he walked toward the airdrop with a cautious look on his face, checking his surroundings for any danger.

And as he walked toward the white airdrop, Fer was surprised by what he saw around him. Now he realized that he had previously been so immersed in his fantasies that he hadn't noticed his surroundings.

In the distance, he saw an Oviraptor eating some plants on the ground, accompanied by another slightly different Oviraptor.

Fer guessed it was female since its body was a bit longer and less muscular. He also saw two Phidomias with dark, matte skin that had a faint shine reflecting the light. Their trunk was also a deep black, with dark, piercing eyes that stood out against their skin. Their legs were thick and strong, in a dull black tone contrasting with their lighter or grayish hooves.

Fer reminded himself that he wasn't alone on this island and that there were too many dangers, so his expression became more serious and focused on his surroundings as he walked toward the white airdrop just a few meters away.

This time, Fer was quite lucky to appear in the part of the island where there were barely any carnivorous dinosaurs.

Since Fer had knowledge from playing ARK for 1000 hours, every time he carefully looked around, he recognized the place he was in; the only difference was that it was of a different dimension, which made Fer unconsciously ignore his surroundings as if it were an unknown island.

But when he noticed the familiar locations, Fer sighed at the reality between a computer game and real life.

It's like if an ant suddenly realized the dimensions of its size compared to larger beings.

This was the same sensation Fer felt when noticing this; the feeling was a bit overwhelming, but inside Fer's heart, it filled him with excitement and anticipation.

Amid his mixed emotions, Fer didn't stop walking toward the white airdrop, which slowly descended and, to the naked eye, looked like a black and gray rhombus with white outlines dropping from the white beam.

Fer was a dozen meters away from the airdrop, which was slowly lowering, and when he saw the black rhombus with white outlines about ten meters from the ground, Fer quickened his steps to reach it faster and collect the airdrop as soon as possible.

With Fer's experience, he knew that when an airdrop landed on the ground, danger would appear in a matter of seconds or minutes, depending on the quality of the airdrop. Since this was of the lowest quality, there would likely be a few Compies and Dilophosaurs nearby.

But even though Compies and Dilophosaurs are among the weakest dinosaurs on this island, they shouldn't be underestimated in the initial stage.

Compies are small dinosaurs that always travel in packs, so although they are not too strong individually, they are quite annoying because there are always too many of them, making them bothersome and dangerous depending on their strength.

And the Dilophosaurs aren't much better than Compies at all, as they have a special ability that allows them to spit a kind of venom that slows by 50% and darkens the vision of those it hits for 10 seconds.

Fer ran for 10 seconds until he reached the front of the white beam. The rhombus was 3 meters above the sand and slowly, over the seconds, Fer cautiously looked around for a few moments while waiting for the last seconds for the rhombus to fall. Fortunately for him, there were no accidents, such as a dinosaur suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Fer saw the black rhombus stop in front of him, and moments later, he felt a strange sensation from his implant in his arm to the rhombus a meter away from him. The feeling was as if he could open this rhombus through the implant.

As if it were something instinctive, Fer let himself be guided by this feeling, and the arm with the implant lifted toward the black rhombus. Immediately, the implant glowed, and a screen similar to his inventory appeared in front of Fer.

Fer expected that, at most, this white airdrop would contain only a few materials like narcotics, thatch, fiber, or anything else not particularly useful for his current situation. However, he found something he didn't expect at all in an airdrop of the lowest rank, the white one.
