Chapter 1-The Story Begins.

Opening his eyes, Arthur looked around and noticed he was what seemed to be a forest. After getting his bearings, he stood up, but as he did he noticed his didn't stand very tall, he looked down and what he saw took his breath away.

Two short stubby legs, two thing small arms, after touching all over his face and body to make sure this was actually him he begin to smile at it was all real. He real can have a new life, true it would be anything but ordinary, supernatural even, though he didn't mind, rather he couldn't be more excited.

After being giddy, Arthur looked around and saw a toppled over log, he walked over and sat on the stump and began to think about what to do next, he had so many options. After thinking he came up with a plan:

1ST:Find out whereabouts he is and begin to look for shelter and food.

2ND:Start training with a detailed regime based off his system and it's skills and which are a priority right now.

3RD:Begin to build himself up along with his family name, the true Pendragon's, creating his kingdom Camelot.

With a makeshift plan set in order Arthur set to, he hopped off the tree stump and stood still. He calmed his breathing and focused on his hearing, trying to listen for anything that can help. After a minute or so Arthur heard a constant sound, it was running water, after determining the location he began to run to the water.

Running for ten minutes, he came around a small lake and waterfall, only one word could describe what was in front of him, picturesque, the waterfall was beautiful, the trees surround the sides and at the other end of the lake, stood and open field which made way to a huge valley surrounded by mountains.

Coming out of his daze Arthur walked toward the water to get a good look at his self, seeing the reflection shocked him. What he seen could be said to be to cute mixed with the aura of royalty, though it was true.

After admiring himself, Arthur began to wonder about what to do for shelter and food and so he looked around. As he looked at the waterfall he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a cave hiding away behind the falling water. Making his way there, crossing rocks and moss making sure to not slip in the water, he came to the opening of the cave.

The cave he was looking in was perfect for shelter, even a long term one, it was big enough for a large house. Walking further in he looked around to see if there was anything of use to him, and lo behold there was a few Skelton, clearly hundreds of years old, but one Skelton was much younger maybe a few years.

Walking towards to skeletons, he knelt down, rummaging through them, pulling anything and everything out. After fifteen minutes he was done and he now had a pile of all sorts of things. He decided to organise everything into useful and not useful, after doing so he found himself with a few things.

After a while he was left with a knife, dagger, two short swords, two sheaths, one axe, one bow, 3 iron arrows, iron greaves, iron vambrace/gauntlet/pauldron/couter, iron cuirass/cutlet, black trousers, black boots, white linen shirt, fur cloak, backpack, lighter, journal, water bottle, camping tray.

Now that he had all the useful stuff leftover, Arthur begin to put it all away neatly in a corner. After doing so, he sat down and thought about what to do next, he needed food, fire and water, he could use the fur cloak as a duvet and roll up the clothes for a pillow, he just needed to build some necessities.

So with that in mind he walked out of the cave with the axe and walked to the closest small trees. He began to chop and hack away at the trees and nearby bush, nearly two hours later of cutting and logging all the wood back to the cave he finally sat down with his back on the wall to rest.

With all this wood he could now do everything he needed to, so after catching his breath he starting to work again. Three hours past like that and Arthur was finally done, he made a bed, a table and chair, a bench, a campfire with added stones, a spoon and fork, a bowl and plate and finally a chest.

Looking at everything he has, a small smile crept its way on his face, seemingly happy Arthur sat on the chair contemplating what to do about food and water. After thinking with nothing coming to mind, he suddenly remembered the system and the hunting skill, ignoring his own idiocy he went to the system and hunting skill tab.

————————————————————

After clicking the tab, and seeing the four sub skills, he pondered for a second before clicking on each, after doing so some basic knowledge of each entered his mind. With this new found knowledge, Arthur was more confident in accruing food and water.

Walking to the left over wood and grabbing his knife, he began to fiddle away the wood to make numerous traps. Thirty minutes later he had ten traps, which took his trap making to (1/100). "So ten traps equals to one percent, interesting, it'll take a long time to master it, but I imagine that the traps will be even more useful than just for getting food by then". After that, he took four traps, two in each hand and walked out of the cave and back into the forest, slowing down after some way into the forest, Arthur began to use all his senses to pick up anything animal related.

After scouting out the area and looking for possible feeding zones, he came across three locations, two rabbit feeding areas and one deer. With this he set up three traps with the correct bait and walked away, masking his scent as he did, after circling around and walking closer to the shore of the lake and forest. He stopped after noticing one last feeding zone, but this one different, this animal was larger and heavier.

Immediately he knew it was a wild boar, this could be a double edged sword for the current five year old Arthur as he could potentially get a good size boar, but if the trap doesn't work and Arthur is discovered it could prove to be a bad situation.

Pondering what to do for a while Arthur decided to take the risk as the rewards are to great to ignore. So he set up the last trap and walked back to the cave to make use of his time. Arriving at the cave, he walked to the stone and wood and made a decision to make some stone arrows and to improve the wooden bow he currently had.

Sometime later, the evidence of night beginning to arrive Arthur finished the bow and twenty stone arrows, next with a small hunters arsenal he was confident in killing two birds and one stone. With hunting with a bow not only would his hunting skills go up but bow skill too as well as his cooking skills.

Now even happier than earlier he loaded up, attaching the knife to his hip, the bow and quiver to his back, and the water bottle in hand. Arthur walked out of the cave and stopped and a certain part of the waterfall. Why you ask, well with the hunting knowledge he acquired was also different ways he could get fresh clean water and one such way was right in front of him.

The stones and moss of the waterfall made for a natural water filter, so he held out his bottle and waited till it quickly filled up. After it did he drank immediately so cleanse his thirst, after drinking the full bottle he refilled it and stored it on his hip.

Now with that out of the way he began to walk to the forest to the closest trap he set. Coming closer but not to close incase a rabbit was feeding, he walker closer and quieter which in turn began to level up his stealth ever so slightly. Anyway back to the trap, after getting closer he noticed it was empty so was the area so he stood up and walked to it. He filled the trap and surroundings of it with more bait and went to the next one.

The next one the same, though that being the deer trap as expected however when he got to the last rabbit trap, as of luck had struck him. A rabbit was finally caught, already disposed of due to how the trap was made, anyway he strung the rabbit on a branch and slung it over his shoulder ready to move again.

Now with at least two days worth of meat Arthur was happy but felt it was not enough so unwillingly he walked to the last trap, the boar trap. Not expecting results he made his way over, always walking quietly making his stealth finally hit (2/100). Now closer to the trap, he stopped as he was hearing grunts and rustling at where the trap was suppose to be.

Upon getting in view he saw a healthy size boar caught in the trap with its hind legs stuck. He struck gold, but before he could be too happy he had to think of how to put the boar down in one hit as to not spook it too much that it destroys the trap out of survival instinct. So he put down the rabbit, took out his bow and one iron arrow as it would be better than the stone. Drawing the bow with the arrow in hand, he steadied his breathing, getting the boar in sight waiting for it to stop moving.

Taking a deep breath he held it, in a split second he released the arrow and watched as it soared through the air *SPLAT* *THUD* looking again Arthur's eyes lit up. He hit the boar, he really did it, "thank god my luck is at EX rank or I might have been in trouble", getting up after picking the rabbit up he walked over to the boar.

Then that's when it hit him, this boar was even larger than himself, how was he supposed to carry it. To hopefully put his mind at ease he hoped the F- rank strength was more than his age he went to lift the boar by the leg. Sensing no pullback, he became ecstatic, he had enough made for a good few days if he could maintain the meat, perhaps smoking it would be best.

Now that he had a rabbit and boar he started walking back to the cave not before noticing some mushrooms and other wild foods that could do well with his food. Now with enough in hand he finally made it to the cave, walking towards the campfire he lit it up, setting up a rotating wheel to put the boar on and rabbit.

After a hour or so of waiting and cooking all the food, as well as smoking all the boar meat, he had a full meal and water. Just the smell caused his stomach to growl, so without much waiting he began to dig in.

After eating possibly the greatest meal he ever had, he made his way to his bed preparing to sleep for the night, finally a real night sleep after a hard days work.
