DELICIOUS!

"*BURP* Ahh, I won't ever get sick of that taste," said Orion with a satisfied grin as he finished the wolf meat, 'I should finish looking through the system and find a place to sleep for the night' he thought.

'Let's check the storage option next, storage,' he willed for the storage to appear and a 5x5x5 meter box appeared in his mind.

"How does this work system?" He asked confused.

[HOST CAN STORE ANY NON LIVING ITEMS IN THE STORAGE SPACE SIMPLY BY TOUCHING THE ITEM AND THINKING OF STORING IT]

"Sounds easy enough," he continued, "let's store my armor and weapons for now."

Orion walked to his pile of things and picked up his helmet. He closed his eyes and suddenly his helmet disappeared from his grasp.

"This will definitely be helpful but I can already see it getting full fairly quickly," Orion began to think on how he could make the most of this new ability when the system spoke in his mind.

[HOST CAN UPGRADE THE STORAGE IN THE FUTURE. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS ONLY ONE ITEM IN THE STORE AND THAT IS THE UPGRADE OPTION FOR APPRAISAL]

[PLEASE LEVEL UP TO ACQUIRE MORE ITEMS IN THE STORE]

"I see, I'll have to work hard then." Orion said with excitement in his voice as he stretched his back.

Orion then put most of his armor in storage except for his leg armor, his Tachi and boots just in case.

'Let's look at the map and find out where I am, Map,' Orion called for the map and a light green square appeared in front of him. The square was mostly empty with only a few drawings on it.

'I see, this is where I woke up and the way I walked to the river. This little green dot is me I guess?'

"How does the map get filled in, System?" Orion asked.

[THE MAP FUNCTION WILL GET FILLED IN AUTOMATICALLY BY THE HOST'S VISION]

"That's good, it won't be a hassle to get a filled in map then. Let's follow the river down hill for now," Orion said, "I wonder if there's a town near by."

Orion stored all of his items away and began his descent. Orion looked at everything with awe like he was a child once again.

The beautiful flowers, the herbs with stunning colours, the humongous trees and the colourful mushrooms growing on their wide trunks and the soil beneath them were a magnificent sight to him.

Everything he saw was unknown and new to him and he didn't know wether anything would be useful in the future or not.

He harvested some of everything he saw and didn't take more than he needed so the forest could continue to flourish.

After thirty minutes of walking, the sun was beginning to set and he heard a sound from up ahead. Orion quickened his pace and arrived at a small opening in the dense forest.

There, he saw three goats eating the grass and were completely oblivious of Orion's presence.

'Dinner time' Orion mumbled with a wide grin. He circled the opening to make sure there weren't any more goats around and positioned himself behind a couple of bushes.

Once he was ready he brought out his two double edged axes from his storage, 'I should test that new skill I just got,' Orion thought.

When he was about to make his move one of the goats looked up and turned to look directly at him, 'Did it hear me?' Orion thought, but he soon relaxed when the goat began eating the grass by its feet once more.

Orion took a deep breath and concealed his bloodlust and killing intent, with a long exhale he swung both arms downwards releasing his two axes with frightening speed.

As soon as the two axes left his hands he bent his knees and put his left hand on the handle of his Tachi attached to the right side of his waist.

"Gale step" Orion whispered. The ground cracked under his feet as he launched at the last goat in the middle. The two axes sliced through two of the Goat's necks like butter and wedged themselves into a tree in the back.

Before the two heads touched the ground, Orion arrived at the last goat ten meters away with a single step. He unsheathed his Tachi and swung upwards smoothly, slicing through its neck giving the goat a painless and quick death.

The three goats fell to the floor simultaneously as Orion heard the prompts from the system.

[DING

DEMON GOAT SLAIN X3: 15 LFX GAINED]

Orion walked to the tree trunk that held his axes and stored them away before walking to one of the goats. 'Why are these called demon goats?' Orion wondered and grabbed a head from the ground to get a closer look.

"FUCK! That's creepy!" He exclaimed as he inspected the severed head.

The goat was close to black in colour and had six neon green eyes with two pairs of red twisted horns on each side.

"I hope you taste good..." he mumbled with a somber expression.

"Let's store two goats for now," Orion said as he walked towards the goats and stored them away before walking back into the forest to get fire wood.

A couple minutes later, he returned to the opening and began to start a fire. He walked up to the goat on the ground and began skinning and processing it.

He first put its meaty legs to cook by the fire while he continued chopping and dividing the rest of the meat.

With a sprinkle of salt he finished prepping the whole goat with incredible speed when suddenly the aroma in the air became engulfed with the fragrant smell of cooked meat.

All it took was a single whiff of this meat and it instantly made Orion salivate and jump up to his feet. He turned around and ran towards the fire like a mad man.

He sat cross legged in front of the fire and slowly brought a sizzling leg up to his face. The aroma of the meat multiplied the closer it got to his face, making Orion fall into a trance.

With a big bite, the juices of the meat exploded into his mouth and his eyes went wide in shock. The meat was juicy and soft like he was biting into a peach, but the taste was undeniably the best meat he's ever had.

His hands and mouth continued to move and he devoured all four legs before he knew it.

[DING

SUFFICIENT LIFE FORCE ENERGY ABSORBED: 20LFP GAINED]

Orion ignored the prompt in his head as he panicked and rushed to grab more meat to cook with expectant eyes, as he could barely wait for it to finish cooking.

When he placed the meat by the fire he summoned another goat from the storage and began prepping it as well.

This time, however, his hands moved with urgency and finished the prep work in record time.

Orion took out his tortoise shell and placed it on the ground in front of him and he began placing the cooked meat on top of it to use it as a table.

He quickly filled in the open spaces around the fire with raw meat as he took the cooked pieces and placed them on his tortoise shell.

Orion ignored the prompts from the system as he was enamoured with the meat in front of him.

He stopped stuffing his face and spoke softly, "Thank you, System, for giving me the chance to eat this meal..." Orion looked up at the darkening sky and closed his eyes as he savoured the meat in his mouth.

He was filled with immense joy and a single tear fell from his eye.

Suddenly, Orion felt multiple pairs of eyes stare at him from the shadows of the forest as he began to hear low growling coming from all directions.

He stopped prepping the third goat and stored away his chefs knife as he stood up slowly.

Orion's gaze turned cold and filled with contempt as he spoke neither quietly or loudly, "You want a taste of my meal do ya? You fucking pups want to be my desert?"

His anger became apparent on his face as he furrowed his brows and a vein began to pop on his forehead.

Orion's killing intent exploded and was filled with bloodlust that targeted the 20 odd wolfs surrounding him.

"YOU RUINED MY MOOD, YOU FILTHY MUTTS!" Orion bellowed with fury as his killing intent and bloodlust exploded and spread in all directions with him at the centre.

Orion raised both arms to shoulder level when suddenly a Wakizashi appeared in each hand.

The wolves surrounding Orion's camp became petrified and shivered with fear as they were rooted on the spot when they felt the nauseatingly heavy aura coming from Orion.

Orion took a step forward slowly and then disappeared from the wolves sight. Instantly the wolves began to whimper as they could feel and hear the other wolves dying one by one.

Unfortunately for them, they received Orion's ire when they interrupted his meal.

Orion used gale step masterfully and disappeared as quickly as he appeared beside a wolf before cleanly swiping at their necks.

A couple of moments later, Orion began dragging the lifeless wolves to the edge of his camp and making a pile with the bodies.

[DING

TWIN TAILED WOLF SLAIN X23: 230LFX GAINED]

Orion sat down by the fire once again and stored away his two Wakizashi and brought out his chefs knife again.

Once the smell of meat returned to the air masking the smell of blood, his frown disappeared and a small smile returned to Orion's face.

When he finished eating the last goat, he returned his items to his storage and stood up. He walked towards the pile of corpses and crouched as he mumbled, 'what the hell do I do with you guys now?'

He then stood up and retrieved his chefs knife and said with a devilishly wide grin, "Since i cant fit all of you into my storage, I guess I'll take your pelts and start cooking my midnight snack."

The smell of delicious cooked meat spread in the air once again.
