Chapter 3

With the demon shouting with all he've got fall into unconsciousness. The rewards were given to Jah as he technically survived that thing. Looking around, he saw children lying face down on the earth and he was conflicted.

[Its your choice now to either leave them or still joiin them.]

Pondering about it for a few minutes, he decided to leave them but not after putting them side by side. He even left a note that said, "Thank you for everything. -Jah"

With that, he left deeper in the forest. Looking around, he saw nothing but trees. Looking at his Map, he saw a red dot roaming around.

'Hey, give me a bow and some arrows will you? Or a dagger can do just fine.'

[All of them for just 100SP how about it? Even comes with defensive gears.]

'That would probably be a beggar's set?'

[Jackpot.]

'Screw you! Get me the begginer's package!'

[Alright, no need to get so worked up.]

Suddenly, a leather armor was equipped and it only protects the vital points of the user. Next would be the crossbow strapped on his left waist and a dagger at his right with a leather sheath.

"Perfect, let's start our first hunt shall we?"

Walking around, he first pinched some dirt on his gloves and let go.

"The wind is heading north... Either I wait for the beast to pass by my position at north and I kill it with the dagger, or aim and shoot at it from S, SE, and SW."

[I suggest going to combat mode.]

'I am made for assasination with my Blink.'

[Combat mode when using the crossbow.]

'Oh yeah, come to think about it there was that feature.'

Looking at the beast, it was a simple boar with attributes which exceeds the norm. Looking at it from behind, he aimed at its legs.

[Switched to Combat Mode. Upon switching, the eyes will turn into scarlet red and the user will have his senses heightened to a degree. It also gives the user small boosts of 10% to every attributes.]

Having said that and all, he was actually using the mode for something else.

[Hidden Feature unlocked : Aim Assist and Trajectory unlocked.]

'See, it was easy. Its all or nothing.'

Aiming at the sky, he shot his first arrow. Looking at the boar he said, "I'll cook you till you're delicious for me as well as for that old man."

He then looked at a certain direction and smiled.

'That brat knows I'm here! How?!' The old man knit his brows and look from afar and just continued observing. 'That arrow ... it was precise. Too precise and the arrow. flew exactly where the defense is at its weakest... What a monster.'

Back to Jah, he was currently in a dilemma on how to start a fire to roast the dead boar.

[You must be forgetting something. You need to skin it first before anything else, dumbass.]

'Got any skill from the shop?"

[I can assist you, just use combat mode to get to it.]

Activating Combat Mode, he stared at the carcass of the boar and saw some strange lines apoearing.

[Mode unlocked : Cooking Mode]

"Oh nice, then let's get started. You have a recipe?"

[Oh yes sir, I do indeed have a recipe. But to acquire these ingredients is like breathing. You can use the map to search for the ingredients.]

'Right, I need to have some exercise myself so I better get moving.'

"Blink" and swoosh! In just a blink of an eye, he already acquired what he wanted and started prepping the ingredients.

Of course, every equipment was free because the system gave it as a starting package for a newbie cook.

While Cooking Mode was active, every single ingredient was in just the right amount needed for the taste as well as appearances. Especially the meat, he traced the line with the knife and everything was sliced. The meat was perfect to the point it was glittering from the knife.

While waiting for the soup to be complete, he was roasting the meat evenly on all sides. It was a sight to see someone cooking so perfectly. A waste there was no one to impress.

After a couple of minutes pass by, all was set and done and all he needed was to just eat. But how can something so perfect be put to a leaf?!

'System! Sell me some wooden dining set! Plates, bowls, spoon, fork, everything!'

[All for 100SP!]

'Deduct it!'

As this was going through his mind, few slots in his inventory was being filled by dining wares.

He got a plate, a bowl, a spoon and a fork. As well as a cup for a tea. He can make tea himself because as he was passing by an area earlier, he saw a tea tree. It was a very simple green leaf and he had to take this chance to get the Tea Creation mode.

[Mode unlocked : Tea Creation]

[Jobs are now available at the Status Screen. Please pick one and you are able to freely change at anytime.]

'Hah! I got it at last! Last time I didn't had a chance because I was stuck in my room for years but now I can finally get it.'

Using the Tea Creation Mode, he was experiencing extreme calm as well as extreme observation. The sorroundings observed a quiet silence as the tea was being made. A tea ceremony must never be interrupted else the nature will kill him/her.

With that said, he was carrying on with his tea ceremony and he just achieved his success.

Green Tea - able to make the consumer feel extreme calmness for one day as well as clear 1% of impurities from the body.

Roasted Boar - the meat has been cooked to perfection giving the consumer stronger muscles as well as increase vitality. Able to clear 1% of impurities from the body.

Mushroom Stew - clear 2% of impurities from the body.

Oh... what have I made?! This is ridiculous!

[Oi Host! If even someone from the royal family sees this spectacular scene, they will jaw drop and they will drool just because of the scent! Now get to eating because you need to get stronger!]

'Well then, let's start eating!"
