Bet! (1)

...

After walking for a few more minutes, I find a corpse of what looks like a big Hare.

The hare is about three feet tall and seven feet long, and his fur is gray

He has long ears, large fangs and a long horn on her forehead

However, his most striking feature is his legs.

They have very thick muscles and look very powerful.

"With legs like that, how fast can this monster run? Well, it seems that all this speed was of no use!"

The body of the big hare, have some limbs that are bent oddly

As if the hare has been crushed by something very strong and heavy

"This is strange! The hare has no sign of a bite! It seems that whatever killed her, didn't do it because was hungry!"

I spend some time looking, at the bloody hare in a trance

At this time, while I'm a little distracted I listen Elizabeth's voice in my head saying

[The Host Body is under Hunger control!]

'Huh?'

After that, my vision darkens and I again lose consciousness

…

…

When I regain consciousness, I come across some notifications from Elizabeth

[The Host has overcome Hunger control!]

[The Host regained control of his own Body!]

"Tsk! I didn't expect to lose control of my body, to my hunger! This is kind of pathetic! Sigh! It seems, that the Hunger of this body

In a way is stronger than that which existed in my other body! Well, whatever!"

Right after that, I realize that I'm lying on the floor, so I try to get up

However, the moment I do that, I realize that my body is covered in blood

"What... blood? Shit!"

The first thing I do is check if I am injured

However, I soon realize that I have no injuries and that the blood is not mine.

"Wait, if this blood is not mine, then..."

Having thought of something, I slowly turn my head towards where the hare's corpse was

As I do this, I realize that there is nothing there but a pile of bones and all torn fur.

"Did I do that? Damn! I'm so… stupid! I should at least have left the fur intact! After all, with this fur, I could make an even better loincloth!"

After spending a few minutes, regretting my own stupidity, I sigh and decide to get up off the floor

"Sigh! Well, now it has happened! So there is nothing, I can do to change it! Okay, now that I have temporarily satisfied my needs.

I think it is better to look for a stable source of water! Like a river, lake or something like that!"

With that thought in mind, I start walking through the forest

As I look closely around me, trying to avoid any monsters as much as possible

However, after a few minutes, I can't find anything

"Maybe, if I find constant traces it shows that I am close to water!"

After a more few minutes of walking, I finally find some traces that seem to be old but at the same time constant.

"These traits seem to be from several different animals. The only reason I can think of, for animals of different species to go in the same direction, is that in that direction there is... WATER!"

After about twenty minutes following the traces of animals, I arrive in an area where the trees are lower and have less dense foliage.

With that, I can finally look at the sky again

Therefore, I look up and look for the location of the suns

"I'm fucked up! I'm sure many hours have passed! However, the two suns has only moved a little from its starting position!

Sigh! The day here is longer than that of the Earth and obviously longer than that of Jupiter, which I was used to!

I already predict that it will be a pain to organize myself! I remember the time when I visited Earth, it was very strange for me to get used to twelve hours of sunshine! So I used to like stay in the hotel and just going out at night!"

After walking for another ten minutes, I start to hear the sound of water coming from far away

"Great, I found it! Okay, so let's go that way!"

About five minutes later, the noise of the water has become deafening

"Shit, this is very loud! I think it is not just a single waterfall! By the noise, I estimate that after these trees I will finally have arrived!"

I continue walking and soon that I cross the last large group of trees

I finally find the source of the noise, a gigantic set of waterfalls

"WOW! In the end, I was right! It was not just one waterfall... It is a large set of waterfalls! How many are there?

There are so many that it even looks like Iguazu Falls that I visited while on Earth! Okay, I will call it Icarus Falls!

This is certainly not narcissism! After all these waterfalls really deserve to be named with my name!"

After spending a few seconds enjoying the beautiful view

I notice a little problem, with the water from Icarus Falls

"Okay, with that I think the water problem is solve... Wait! Why the waters of Icarus Falls seem to be shining?"

The moment I realize this, I feel a chill go through my spin

"Oh, no! Please don't be poisonous!"

I quickly run towards the falls to be able to check the water

However, when crossing the last bushes, I find myself obliged to stop, because the view I find is very shocking

"WHAT THE FUCK! You have to be kidding me!"

On the banks of the river where Icarus falls is located

There are thousands of different monsters, drinking calmly and in almost complete harmony.

Occasionally, a monster tries to attack another

However, in the end, it is attacked and killed by all the monsters around it.

As if, they had punished it for disobeying an unspoken rule.

"Okay, I'm going to use the magic words that I learned exactly for situations like this!"

I close my eyes, to focus

After a few seconds, I open them, and with a dignified voice, I say the magic words

"Bepd-Bopd! Get Out of My Propied!"

The monsters continue to drink water from Icarus Falls as if they haven't heard me.

"Huh? How strange, it usually works! Hmm... maybe it didn't work because I don't have a shotgun in my hands? Yeah, It must be that! Well, whatever!"

I approach the bank, in a part where there is no monster, to check the water.

"Okay, I'm going to take a sip and see what happens! After all, these monsters are drinking and nothing happening to them!

Besides, if something goes wrong, Elizabeth is going to warn me. With those incredibly redundant messages from her!"

With that thought in mind, I squat down by the river, then using one of my hands, I put some of the shiny water in my mouth.

When I finally swallow, I feel like my throat is being burned.

"Damn it! This sensation is almost the same sensation that I had when I had that drink with a very high alcohol content!

I remember that Alkeides took just a sip and passed out! He acts like a badass! However, in the end, he fell with less than a glass!

Huehuehue! Anyway, the feeling is similar but it's not the same!

After all, when I drink this water, I don't feel drunk like I feel when I drink that alcoholic drink, but satiated!"

While I am distracted thinking about the differences between the two drinks, some notifications from Elizabeth pop into my head

[The host ingested @!!*#?/§! Blood!...]

[The host does not meet the requirements..... much of the blood is lost.... the host absorbs a small part...]

[The host has his thirst quenched...]

"Huh, whose blood? It is the first time that you have spoken important information Elizabeth!

So why does it look like it was cut in half? Answer me! Answer me now, Elizabeth!"

After a few seconds, I recover from my frustration and decide to continue with my plans

"Well, at least now I'm sure it's not poisonous! The only disadvantage is that every time I drink this "Water".

It will be like drinking pure alcohol! Anyway, with that I have one less problem to deal with!

Now, I can move on to the next item on my list! That is... assemble a base!"

I get up, and start slowly move away from the riverbank, while thinking about what to do

"Okay, I think I can try to build a base on top of one of those trees! Made of what? Well, the answer to that is... wood!

So then, you ask me 'But Icarus, are you not afraid that your house will catch fire, while you are sleeping?

If that happens, you will end up dying with the poisonous smoke that these woods produce!'

The answer to that question is... No! I'm not afraid of that! Do you want to know why? Huehue! This is very simple!

On the Earth, if a wooden house catches fire, while someone is inside sleeping.

Most of the time that person dies to the smoke produced during the burning! So I have a big chance of dying!

Regardless of whether the smoke has poisonous properties or not!

With that, it becomes clear that, anyone who lives in a wooden house every night when he goes to sleep are betting their lives!

Anyway! In short, I'm making a bet! Besides, this is the easiest material to get!

After all, when I was looking for water I found many thick vines growing in the trees! The wood, this is even easier!"
