...

I keep running and collecting branches, and vines that I find along the way

Whenever I meet a tree that has the trunk, with the ideal size to use in the construction of my base

I stop and start to observe the surroundings, so that I can remember the position of this tree

"Hmm, I have already taken many branches, and vines, and even if they are not heavy. However, they take up a lot of space! So, it's a pain in the ass, carrying them without dropping them on the floor! I better go back to my base, and leave these things that I already collected, over there! Yeah, I will do that!"

I stop running, start looking around, to locate myself

After a few seconds I find out where I am.

Then I adjust my body position to the direction of my base, and start running

...

About ten minutes, two large trees come into view, so I quickly approach them.

When I reach the side of the trees, I start to unroll the vines that are wrapped around my shoulders

Then, I place them on the ground, along with the many branches.

Having placed everything on the floor, I squat down and start dividing the materials on the floor, in two stacks.

In one of the stacks, I put the branches and in the other stack, I put the vines.

After I finish dividing branches and vines, I start dividing the two stacks, into sub stacks.

Where I divide the contents of the two stacks, according to size.

After a few minutes, I finish organizing the stacks and sub stacks.

Then I get up from the floor and stretch my back

"Phew! I hate it, the fact that I took the habit from Henchman Number 4, of organizing things in stacks! Huehuehue! Well, I should be thankful that that woman didn't leave me with mysophobia like her! It would be hell to live here! Anyway! Looking at the amount of branches, I have. I think they are enough, at least to build the walls and roof of the house!

So, now all I need is the logs for the foundation and the supporting pillars! Supporting pillars... If someone overhears me saying that. They will think that I plan to build a mansion on top of that tree, and not a small hut! Huehuehue!"

After laughing for a few seconds, I stop and compose myself

"Ahem... well then, let's get these logs! The nearest one is just two minutes away, running in that direction! Okay, let's go!"

I start running in the direction I remember seeing the tree, and as I expected, about two minutes I see it.

The tree is not very thick I can wrap its trunk surface using only one arm

On the other hand, the tree is very long, with about eight meters high.

I approach the tree, take Chunchunmaru from my waist, and using my right hand, I start beating it against the base of the tree, with the intention of cutting the tree.

...

After five minutes, the tree falls on top of several bushes, with a loud thud

BOOM!

"Okay, it took me about five minutes to cut this tree, because I was testing the resistance of Chunchunmaru! After all this is the first time, I try to cut a tree! Well, after this test I am sure it will not break easily! So in the next tree I will try, with all my strength and see how long it takes the tree to fall!"

I walk over to the tree that is lying on the ground

Then, I start cleaning the log, cutting the branches and removing all the leaves

In less than two minutes, the log is completely clean

Seeing this, I get up, walk away from the log, keep Chunchunmaru on my waist

After that, I place one hand on my chin and start thinking about the building of my base

'This is the first one! According to my calculations... I will need about thirty logs, to build the foundation of my house! I am very lucky to have found those two trees, their branches, are thicker than many trunks out there, so the bridge, easily supports, the weight of all these logs! This is good, with that my house will be more resistant! Okay, let's move this log to my base!'

Having finished organizing my thoughts, I approach the log

Then, I crouch and using both hands, I try to lift the log off the ground

I lift the log easily, so I support it on my shoulder, adjust it in a way that it doesn't slip After that, I start walking towards my base

"This log is very light, but it is very long! So, If I try to run, while carrying it, I will end up bumping into other trees! With that, I run the risk of breaking the log! That means that I will have to walk to my base, during the transportation of the logs! Hmm, If I walk with quick steps, I arrive at my base, in about ten minutes. A reasonably short time! However, the real problem is that many of the trees that I found, are more than thirty minutes from my base! I only took those few minutes, because I was running at full speed! Sigh!

That means, I'm going to spend a good few hours transporting these logs!"

After realizing this, I get a little crestfallen about it

However, I soon laugh as I say

"Huehue! Well, I don't know why I'm complaining! After all... Time is the thing I have the most around here!"

...

Two hours later, I arrive at my base.

Then I walk to the two trees, and place the log on the ground beside them

"Phew! This is the third! Huehue! I spent a lot less time, cutting this one, than with the others!

The first time I took about five minutes, and even though I was testing Chunchunmaru, I still think I took too long...

The second time, I still didn't get the hang of it, so it took me about two minutes, a long time, but it still took a long time...

Finally, this time, it took me only thirty seconds to bring down the tree! Maybe, with more practice, I will be able to break that record, and reach my goal! Which is having the ability to cut a tree per second!

Well... I still have twenty-seven attempts. Now that I think about it, this was the last log that was less than thirty minutes away!

So... is now, that the real deal starts! However, before I leave, I need to do something!"

I approach the logs, crouch, lift my right arm and place my hand on the end of the log that I just placed on the ground.

Then using my hand, I push the log until one of its ends aligns perfectly, with the other logs.

After doing this i get up, and walk away, while nodding my head with satisfaction

"Perfect! I love to do it! Hmm, now that I think about it… this is the first time I've done it, with logs! When I was on Jupiter, I usually did this in pencils or pens! Well, it's pretty much the same! So… whatever!"

Having finished aligning the logs, I move away, and start running towards the next tree.

...

About fifteen minutes later, I'm still running towards the next tree.

Suddenly, I stop running and quickly hide behind a tree

I do this, because while, I was using the enhanced vision of my eyes.

I realized that about a hundred meters ahead, there is a monster.

The monster, it is quite large, being about nine feet high and about twenty-three feet long.

This monster looks like a leopard.

The most apparent difference when compared to a leopard's body (apart from its size) are the eyes of the monster, he has four.

The extra pair of eyes is located on the side of the head just below the ears.

This monster has a completely black fur.

It has long claws that appear to be very sharp; those claws have a purple color.

Every time the claws touch the ground, purple smoke rises from it, as if it were being burned.

This monster walks calmly towards me, while looking around, looking for prey.

"Hmm, I have to give him a name! Oh... I already know a good one!

From now on, you will be known by name... Cat!

Anyway! When I look at Cat, I don't have the same feeling that I had when looking at Light, Red or the others!

So, he is not strong enough to be a Boss... That's nice! After all, I'm not in the mood to face a Boss right now!"

Having reached that conclusion, I begin to observe the monster's body

Trying to guess, what attribute does he focus on

"Cat looks like a leopard, so maybe he focuses on dexterity! On second thought, I can't say that for sure! After all, Light looked like a gray wolf. However, I never heard of a gray wolf that released a Laser beam from its mouth! Anyway! If it were an Earth leopard, it would cover the distance between us, in just a few seconds! After all, a leopard is capable of reaching a speed of 58 km/h! However, this is not an Earth leopard, but Cat, a leopard monster! Huehuehue! However, I'm not the same either! After all, unlike other times, this time I have... A weapon! (Yes, I deliberately ignored the fact, that I had a spear when I killed Light) Now, I just need a plan to kill him, quickly and cleanly! Exactly like I did, with Light, and with Red! (Again, I ignored the fact that when I killed Light it was using my instinct, and that Red died bleeding, because he was unlucky!) Let me think!"

Suddenly a certain thought comes to mind, so I smile and whisper to myself

"Yeah, this seems like a good plan! Well, it is a bet. However, it remains a good plan! Okay, let's go with him then!"

I come out from behind the tree and looking at the big screaming monster

"Hey Cat my friend, come here! I have drugs! "

I don't know for sure, if it was just for seeing me, or hearing the drugs part

However, as soon as I come out from behind the tree, the monster starts running towards me, at an absurd speed

In less than two seconds, he is only five meters from me

Upon reaching this distance, the monster jumps towards me

...

Does that count as Cliffhanger? Anyway! Don't do drugs, kids, give them to I!

...

That's all, folks!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great day!
