Anticipation Under the Stars

Axel who was expert to avoiding social situation line up to Take the Meat from the hunters, Maybe because he was the nephew of the leader, he got the big piece of meat from the Bonfire.

The meat was like BBQ without any seasoning. Even though he wanted to buy salt from the System store he don't have much FP in him. That's why just to satiate himself he eats the bland meat.

Due to eating bland meat first time in his life, he added one more mission to his list. He needs to improve this world cooking recipes and methods.

This juicy meat is far too good to eat like this. With his own self farmed Vegetables and help of system shop he definitely could introduce every recipe from his old world he knows, Axel thought.

Looking at the other who are socializing with others and eating meat happily Axel sigh. If this thing made these people happy what happened if he introduces them with curry or pasta.

I think if they eaten properly made steak they will go wild with happiness. But regardless Axel thought of going in the farm. But he really couldn't do it in here.

"I should search in store if I can get something that don't required me to go in farm with my real body." Axel thought. Afterall in this era if Axel really caught doing something like that people will worship him or kill him by saying Demon took over his body. And Axel really do not like to take this risk.

After going a place that nobody could see him Axel disappeared. As Axel enter the farm, What struck him were 9 tomatoes trees were full with red big Tomatoes. One tree has almost 7 to 9 tomatoes each. The situation is like trees are almost fallen to soil by not able to take the weight of its fruits.

"As expected, corps are ready to be harvest." Axel thought. He quickly cut the tomatoes from the tree and stack them in one side of the land. Next time when I harvest them, I should take the cart from storage.

Although he had the inventory, he really do not like to send there fresh foods. Taking the fruits with his hand and seeing his harvest really make him happy. After some consideration, Axel wash the tomatoes with last bit of water from watering can. And start to eat it.

The sweet and sour test finally hit the test buds of his. Its sweetness comparable with some honey with extra bit sour flavors really make it the unique on its own.

"Such a great breed. Sure enough anything I gain from here would be the best of best." Axel murmured.

From young age Axel read many stories of hero with system. But when he start to grownup life's misfortunes make him unable to feel the happiness and make his personality quite gloomy. But the appearance of this thing again ignite excitement he longed forgot. Although this thing is not the magical omnipotent system that send him rewards for every step he take, This thing is quite similar like it.

With a chuckle Axel took another tomatoes and thought inspect. Immediate a screen panel opened up in front of his eye. 

Name: Tomato [Himalayan breed]

Item rank: Tier 1

Item type: Vegetable

Item Description: [In the world of hunger, only few could survive. This breed is one of them.]

Item validity: 30 days

"Huh! Interesting

Not very informative but interesting". As Axel read the description Axel thought.

Axel summoned the Main menu and in the right corner of it he saw he had 0 FP. Sure enough I have to sell this thing to get more FP. With a thought from Axel All the tomatoes Infront of him vanished. And in place of 0 FP changed to 670FP. He harvested almost 68 tomatoes from the farm. And ate one for himself. But looking at the huge amount of FP. He almost regrets to eat one.

In the beginning when he got the farm he only got 100FP to spend. But seeing this much amount of FP thoughts n his mind started to racing wild. He almost makes 570 FP in Profit. Which is huge amount for him. Afterall just four hour passed since he got the system.

First of all I had to bought necessary things like toothbrushes and toothpastes.

With a thought from him the shop immediately emerged in front of him. And he immediately excluded items like seeds and fruits.

Immediately infront of his a new list came up.

[Salt 100 gram 10FP

Toothbrush 100FP

Toothpastes 200Fp

…

..

Soul Puppet: 10,000FP

Realm ticket 1,00,000FP]

…

Seeing the shop, he immediate dumbstruck. Why the thing I wanted is really expensive. And what is really the realm ticket and Soul puppet in the list. Curious he immediate though of knowing the realm ticket and soul puppet in detail.

Name: Realm ticket (destined)

Item rank: Tier 4

Item type: magical item.

Item description: [This is one time traveling ticket. Only with destined realms object one can travel with it.]

Looking at the description Axel first thought is he could travel to another realm. But buying this thing is quite difficult for Axel for now, but he decided he definitely would buy this when he had enough FP.

Name: Soul Puppet

Item rank: Tier 2

Item description: [A refined puppet. With a small portion of the soul of oneself anyone could refined this puppet.]

Huh! This thing what I really need right now. Axel thought. After all always come with his body is really make him much more uncomfortable. Although in here time runs much more faster than the outside. He really can't take the risk to expose his secret. That's he really need it right now. But sadly he don't have much FP.

That's why After buying toothpastes and toothbrushes from the system he immediately bought 9 sweet potatoes seed. Not just for he wanted to eat sweet potatoes but also because sweet potatoes are cultivated in underground and at the same time many potatoes are also produce in a single tree.

That's why having much more expectation he planted the seed of sweet potatoes after cutting the tomato trees. Although tomato tree could still produce more tomatoes, he doesn't really have many more land to plant the sweet potatoes. And he need much more money. So he cut these tomato trees.

With a thought from him the tomato plants are moved to inventory along with his toothpastes and brush.

"I have to manage my times more carefully until I bought the soul puppet." Axel thought.

After planting the sweet potatoes, he left the farm to sleep.

Learning that he had to sleep on the open hill in this cold weather made every hair on his body stand up. He really wanted to go back to the farm to sleep, but he couldn't afford to make a mistake. Everyone was celebrating, from the old to the young.

As the night became darker, the people on the hill dispersed, until only the youngsters and guards remained at the Central Hill where every festival is celebrated.

Although young people wanted to go home after Awakening, they must become hunters in the tribe. Girls have the right to refuse or accept if they really want to be a hunter, but every male has to participate.

Axel's uncle Mani was nowhere to be seen. After some thought, Axel finally understood the vastness of the actual area for the tribe.

Due to the tribe's leadership style, the festival area and living area are fully divided. The festival area is like a playground, where youngsters from the tribe also train.

In the west, where he came from, is the living area where tribesmen reside in the Dragon trees. The funny thing is, the Dragon trees here are a little bit special. They automatically produce large spaces in their plant sections as if making the natural home for Sky-root tribes, which can even generate heat in the winter, making the Sky-root tribe one of the best predators tribe in this wilderness.

To the east lies the festival grounds, while to the south is the main base of the tribe. There, from the slaves to the merchants from other big tribes, reside. This is also where the main security and tribe leaders, with the help of guards, make decisions, following the regime set by Axel's uncle. This area could also be considered the capital of the tribe.

Previously, the tribe only had the living area and the festival grounds, like any other stabilized tribe. However, due to attacks from other migrating tribes, they implemented this triangular system for the betterment and security of the tribe and its future.

Axel also learned from the youngsters' conversations that there is a lake and a mysterious group of followers of Nala living exactly in the middle of the triangle, opposite the shrine of Nala. They are respectfully called the Holy Mothers, but the area they inhabit is too small to be of concern.

The east and west are covered by mountains, so other than some mountain beasts, there is nothing to worry about. However, the danger lurks in the south, the gate of the tribe which leads to the wilderness, where the specially designated migrant path is located. Tomorrow, they would be sent there to fight the migrant beasts."

However, young people who had awakened their power had to stay here to normalize and learn the ways of the hunters. Tonight, for some reason, snow wasn't falling. With this in mind, Axel collected some wood from the tomato plants and, with some cunning thought, he bought some kerosene from the system to ignite the fire.

After all, the woods were not free here, and many youngsters were sleeping on the ground without any bonfire. Fortunately, he was lucky to find some small tree branches and he had tomato tree branches. After deducting the cost of the sweet potato seeds and kerosene, he had almost 205 FP.

With thoughts of what would happen tomorrow, he fell asleep.
