A Hot meal

"Ughh"

*Crack!*

"What the hell?" I felt that I had just experience something weird but I blacked out. I sat up and looked at myself as a revolting stech assailed my nose.

"Blurgh!!!" I retch but nothing came out except for a bitter taste that assaulted my taste bus.

"Man what happened? Why do I stink? Ughh, I'm gonna take a bath." I hurriedly took the Glaring staff nearby and also carried the axe. Even if it is blunt it is still heavy.

I soon reach the underground cave and the Ants seemed to have made their work area farther from here. Thankfully that blood worked so I took my clothes of, not like there are any thing here interested with my genitals so let's go commando!

"Ahh, that's better. Damn did I ooze all this shit out of me? What the hell? Isn't this like those from the chinese cultivation anime I watched, cleansing or stuff like that. Whoa my belly shrinked!!" I excitedly measured my belly with my hands and noticed that it had receded significantly.

"Damn, I have to work for two weeks to get that of. Wait, was it the blood? Is this place like the ones with the magic and stuff? Holy shit!! This is awesome!" I then realized it was worse cause that meant I am one of the most weakest things there is inside this Jungle.

"Damn, bummer." I finished washing the gunk of me and let it flow down stream where ever this goes.

"Man what should I do next?" I looked besides me and saw the Axe.

"Sharpen you first, I almost died cause of you!" I then left after I took a canteen full of clean water with me while walking naked. Who gives a shit, nobody gonna careif I strut my junk around anyways.

I then reached the cave opening which I would designate as my Living Room, hahaha... living room, guess I'll have to make myself comfortable the next few days. First let's arrange these thing I got here, let's see we have meat, wood and rocks!!

Let's put the Meat underground, it's a bit colder there so it's gonna preserve the meat more. I don't know why it hasn't look like it's spoiling on how long it has been sitting in the open but better be safe than sorry.

[ Two Hours Later ]

"Damn my back hurts, so that makes about 300 kilos of wyvern meat, a lot of wood, a lot of stone, 13 bones, 19 teeth and a shiny pebble. So I'll have to cook this meat just as it is, wait isn't his a cave? Shouldn't there be salt around here? Great I'll look into that later but first." i looked at the room with all the meat and chose a small piece that had some dirt in it.

"Ughh, beggars can't be choosers." I went 'downstairs' to wash my meat, that sounded wrong...

I went to the stream to wash my food, yes that felt more right. Well as soon as I arrive I felt that the Ants were behaving weirdly but I look around and can't tell why.

At least they are no coming near me. I washed the meat to take out the dirt in it then realized just what was weird about the ants. I looked forward and saw the Ants carrying pointy rocks.

I looked around and realized that they are somehow putting up a wall on the other half of the open area in the Cave where the other half is on my side and the other is being constructed with the Stalactites and stalagmites on their side. It seems they wanted to separate their territory from my side.

"Huh, clever bastards. Well that at least gives me a bit of security. Now all I need to explore is the paths on my side of the cave." I carried my stuff back upstairs so I could prepare lunch.

It's been a day since I last ate so I'm a little bit weary since yesterday. I went up and thought about the future if I were to stay here for a very long time. Waking up in the middle of nowhere makes you really think of many things and one of the most prominent is the uncertainty of your own safety.

Living like a slob of laziness has taken a toll in my own descision making skills, I remembered that I used to me very sure of my actions back then. Even when it would take away my career as a serviceman, I still went through with it with no hesitation and even today I am sure I would do the same again. I just need to readjust my self for the future that has to come.

After my brief introspection as I think of positives in life as I try to live my life here alone in the Jungle. I took a seat by the bed then looked at the pile of wood in front of me and remembered one thing I am terrible at.

Starting a fire, a basic neccesity that was not imprinted in my brain as I can't tell if the wood is dry enough or is it not enough to start the flames. I sat there staring at the pile of wood like I am solving the equation for the God particle with my mind but all I got was the grumbling of my stomach.

*Grrrblegrrr!!!*

"Welp fuck this!" I raise the wyvern meat and ate it raw with voracious actions as I try to ignore the fishy smell of the meat. Then something made me stop, I swirled my tounge as I tasted the meat carefully and was stunned.

"So delicious!!!" I ate the meat now with a different voracious apetite that made me want to get more as the flavor of the meat blessed my mouth with a sweet succulent fleshy texture that I couldn't explain with words.

"Burp!! Ahh, that hit the spot." I lied there looking like I just gave a woman in her periods with cunnilingus. It was messy, bloody yet also me likey!!!

"It's so good!!" I stood up and went to get some more but something didn't feel right. I stopped and felt that my chest was gonna burst as my heart beated so fast like it was a locomotive engine running on octane. (Author: Not sure if my terminology is right, sorrect me if I'm wrong.)

"I don't feel so hot, wait I feel so hot. Hot! So hot!! Water!!" I immediately ran as I swiped the Glaring pole with me forgetting the other things behind. My body felt so hot like I would melt, my skin is even turning red as steam started to come out from me.

I ran down and arrived at the living cave room then ran towards the 'basement' where the water needed is present.

"Water!! So hot!!! Hot!!! Water! Agua!!! Shui!!!" I felt so dissoriented that I kept saying things that come to mind as I ran on what felt like the longest ten seconds of my life. As I ran I felt like every step was a day long as my body felt like it was falling apart from the heat I am exuding.
