Inside the forest, there were lots of unique trees which I have never seen on Earth. My inner nerd wanted to study them, but I had a lot of time to do that later. There was a hill in the center of the island and I have to reach the summit by noon. Along the way, I ate fruits that the monkeys keep throwing. Do they think I am their long-lost brother? I felt grateful and gave them a thumbs up.
Along the way, I did feel something was watching me. Is there a strong beast in this forest?
In this one-piece world, you can never be careless as a weak person, so I was vigilant. I had 200 Stat in case of any emergency.
I did see track marks of beasts along the way. Might have to hunt them for food later.
After a few hours of jogging and climbing, I reached the top.
The fresh breeze, the view from the top, the blue water surrounding me, and the clear sky. The reality that I am on a different planet began to sink in. I can't remember my past life clearly though, Very vague memories of happy and sad moments kept playing in my mind. In the end, I could only smile and move on. A brand new world and a brand new story, honestly I felt free and this feeling and I don't want to part with it.
Although this world was not perfect, I hope to change it someday.
World Government must be removed from power, but I am not strong yet.
Looking around with my superior eyesight I scanned the whole island again. I saw something that shocked me, there was a clearing in the forest and it looked like an old house. Who made this?
There was no human settlement nearby, it might be dangerous but I hoped someone will stay there. After all, humans are social creatures.
So I started walking in that direction.
After a few hours, I reached the house, and along the way, I caught a few rabbits. With 5X human speed, it was easy catching a few bunnies.
Cautiously approaching the house I looked for any signs of human activity but nah, nothing.
The door was almost broken, and thick overgrowth surrounded the house and old windows. Not a chance.
I opened the door creakily and what I saw was surprising. There were old tables and furniture which is clearly very old. There were two rooms and a kitchen. On the bed I saw a skeleton, clearly, it was his house. As I neared him I saw an old sword in a scabbard near the bed, curiously I picked it up, and a fine blade emerged, and I saw my reflection on it, black hair, red eyes, a childish face, fair skin, good genes man. Putting the sword in the scabbard I looked around. Few utensils, knives, plates, tables, chairs, and axe. Very useful for survival. Then looking around the attic I found a wooden chest.
I was intrigued and opened the chest, didn't expect much but what I saw shocked me, glittering gold and gems. Looking at the sword in my hand I guessed the man's identity. It was probably a pirate a long time ago who had fled from the world government or a marine, unlikely because marines don't need to hide on a deserted island.
This will be helpful in the future for my startup. *cough cough*
So many gold and gems, how much will I get? I wonder..
I decided to bury my investor as a sign of my thankfulness and his help. Alas, I don't know his name.
Burying the skeleton I started to move toward the stream. It was a good spot to build a shelter and also near a high ground so that I can easily spot ships. I don't want to stay here for long.
I know for sure this is not a clam belt due to the cool breeze blowing.
Now I just have to train and survive.
