Part 4

The day is sunny, the sky is blue, the wind blows gently, overall it is a great time to start a day, but only if it a normal day. My day is not normal at all that was obvious, every day is full of surprises, not in a good way though.

Yesterday I slept quite early, from the dawn I already don't care what happened to me so I just slept. I am a wolf so it's kinda weird to sleep at night because wolf is a nocturnal animal, my sleeping schedule still follow a normal human sleeping schedule.

For safety concerns, I didn't even care about it if there is an enemy then I will fight even unprepared, if there is none then it is a good thing. Luckily there is none at all actually, after checking my surroundings I cannot find any sign of monster at all. I group them as a monster because they are some sort of modifications of animal in the earth, some of them even just come from fantasy book or mythology.

No monster means no enemies, that's good but on the other side, it means there is no food at all. The cause of why there is no monster at all, I suspect it is because of you! Poodle of blood. The blood is the deer blood, yesterday, I eat all of the deer body including its bone, all of it! What left is blood, there is no way I will lick clean the blood in the dirt, I am not that crazy.

I left it be yesterday, even when the smell bothers me I am too tired to deal with it. The smell of the blood itself is strong, with my sense of smells it is, even more, stinks if I have to describe what the experience is like, then it is the equivalent of smelling your pee in bed, that what it like.

With that strong smell, there is no wonder why monster didn't come here, weak monster will only get wrecked and strong monster will just fight a meaningless battle when there is more easy prey out there. For them, there is no benefit to inspect and risk their life to find happening out here.

With that in mind, that means I must go hunting. Wolf usually can survive with little food but I am not an ordinary wolf, I am a big wolf. I don't know the full capability of this body, don't know how strong this body is, don't know how well this body is and lastly don't know how well this body can handle starvation. Better be ready than be sorry, right?

My plan to hunt is quite simple, but it gives me a tremendous advantage. My plan is to circle this lake and hunt around it, I don't know how big this lake is, with my plan I can hunt safely and I don't to worry about getting lost in the forest.

Honestly, the deer memory offers a better hunting ground, but that quite dangerous for me right now. The hunting ground offers abundant prey, so abundant that it attracts many predators ranging from small ones to big ones.

I start walking circling the lake, I put my nose and ears to good use, picking any smell and noise big or small from the area. Sometimes there is a sound coming from the forest, but that's just the sound of a small monster, it is not worth of effort to catch it, so I just ignore it.

Not only from the forest, in the lake, I can hear smalls sound so small it quite impossible for a human ear to pick it up. I bet that a fish, unfortunately, this body can't swim, it's quite sad that I can't taste sushi in front of my eyes.

As for the smell, to be honest, I can only smell quite a few, with the notable one being the deer blood, it is a strong smell even after walking quite a distance from it. The rest of the smell is obviously the smell of water coming from the lake and random smells coming from the wind.

Overall the situation is very calming it brings a pleasant feeling to me. The beauty of these forests is top-notch, with my new eyes the beauty seems can't stop raining toward me, every sway of the leaf and the grass just seems to bring a new beauty for me. This is amazing!

After god knows how long I have been walking, this lake seems to have no end and the further up I go the atmosphere seems to have changed, from the peaceful atmosphere I enjoy to the eerie atmosphere I feel now.

I can feel someone or something looking at me in the lake, maybe it was the one who causes this eerie feeling to me. Like a stalker who always watches you, that's what I fell right now, but it just watch me, I don't feel any ill intent at all from it

Curiosity, that's the best way to describe what I fell from the gaze, so much so that I feel eerie to it. Well, if it just looking then there is no problem, but if it attacks me then I will run, there is no way I can fight something like that.

I can cope with this eerie feeling somehow. Let's get back to the plan, searching for food. I continue my walk. Ah! Speaking of food can I eat a plant? From the deer memory, I know quite a lot of plant, I even know some herbs I don't know the effect though.

If I can eat plant then my constant food problem will be easily solved, but yeah, I kinda know that can't be easy or even possible at all, after all, me right now is carnivorous, not omnivores.

After that, some time passes and finally, I'm finally at the tip of the lake. It takes a considerable amount of time to reach here, in fact, right now is noon. I can quite clearly hear sound from the water, it seems the fish around here quite friendly.

But this area feels kinda weird, I don't know why I don't see a difference from the area where I came from. Everything is normal yet it feels different, it seems like my instincts as an animal tell something wrong, but I as a human can' figure it out, It feels weird.

Even if the area feels weird I don't have the same feeling about my body. I doesn't feel tired of walking even after such a long distance, this body is really a body of a beast, no normal human can walk from where I was to where I stand now without feeling tired, if there is, then that's not normal human, that a monster.

Even if I don't feel tired I am certainly feeling thirsty. I squat and drink the lake water, I can drink quite a lot, but I make sure not to drink too much. As for the taste of the drink, it's not bad but certainly not good either, I can say for sure it definitely will not sell in the modern world.

After drinking, I decide that there is no benefit of staying here, not only there is anything but the same from where I came but a little scarier. So I continue my journey.

Going south from the tip was, quickly I can hear a small sound from the tree. Squirrel, but not a normal squirrel I know from the earth.

It has the body of a squirrel, but its eyes are red, its sharp nose is black, it has a triangle ear, standing tall listening to any noise. Black fur cover its body making it blend to the dark quite easily, its size is bigger than the fattest squirrel I can imagine. What bizarre creatures.

Ah! Now there two them, three, four of them. Oh No, they starting to squeaking. Don't tell me they will attack me right? Hey hey hey, what I did wrong? I am just passing by.

"Kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk kuk"

Yes yes yes yes, I understand, you want me to leave right? Understandable, have a nice day. The squeaking sound got low when I start to leave the area.

It's obvious those squirrels don't like me in their territory, did they see me as a threat to them, it's not like I will eat them I just want to see the monster of another world in eyes. Huh, whatever.

The farther I go down the more I hear various sound, the sound of the little monster. There is a little rabbit with a horn sticking to its forehead munching of grass. There is a bird too, it's a weird bird though. Its bird of prey, its body resembles an eagle but it's more like a giant-sized crow because of its dark-brown feathers, it has long talons and unsurprisingly long beak too.

This area seems full of a weird monster but that's a good thing that means there is an ecosystem around here which is a good thing for me in a lot of ways. Yes, a very good thing for me.

Settling here seems like a good idea, there are a lot of foods and the environment are good too. Of course, with this great place came it came with a great price too, if there are a lot of food then naturally it will attract a lot of predators too, which mean there is competition for me.

Competition, in general, is ok for me. For example, to get a job in a company you must compete with other applicants and that's ok for me because that how it is work. But competition for foods, that's a new thing for me, I usually take food for granted and now I must put my life on the line. But it's still ok for me because if don't fight and risking my life in the process then there is no way I can survive.

Competition is one thing, what I am fearing the most is my safety, if there are a monster in here that threatens my safety then I will run, not because I am a coward, maybe I am, but because it the safest and the efficient way to survive.

Sure if I fight will there is a good chance that I will win, but there is a good chance too that I will be dead, even if I am not dead I might have serious injuries which can hurt my long term survivability if I want to live for years then I must treasure my body. I will only fight if it desperate and I can't think of a better solution.

Watching the sunset, I decided to search for a temporary shelter. I first consider a tree for the shelter but I worry that the branch can't support my weight.

I noticed, after touring this area for a while that there is rarely any big tree and the monster around here is quite small too. It seems to me that this place is a secret haven for little monster.

I can tell that the monster around here is quite neutral, which mean if I don't attack or irritates them they will not attack me. Even if I try to get close to them they will not attack me they just run, not like the deer I killed before.

With that in mind, that's means I can sleep peacefully tonight, just need shelter and that's will be perfect. Ohh just as I mentioned it I found it.

It's a hole in the tree with n shape on it, the size of it is not too big but I think I can fit my body if I curl up. Let's try it out. I move my back first to it and gradually try to curl up.

Ugh, it certainly fits me, but it's not the best I could hope for, the size of it is quite small for me that I must leave my head outside it, not literally.

Well, I will try to sleep now. I know that my sleeping schedule is messed up, but I cannot help it, suddenly turned into a wolf there is no way that I will adopt all of the wolf behaviour in no time. I will try to fix it but only time will know.

After I check the surrounding for the last time, I watch a little insects monster flying here and there making all kind of sound, it peaceful. Well then, good night
