Now then, today was a fine day . The weather was great for hunting .
The preparations were complete . I was in light clothing, but it was slightly thick to provide better defence . I was also wearing light shoes with rubber soles, which were above the standards of this world . I wasn’t carrying any luggage . Rather, it would be pointless since I have [Storage] . I locked my house . Alright, let’s go!
I activated my skills after travelling a bit away from home . I used the skills [Alert] and [Detection] . I obtained both of these skills about three months ago .
Both were already LV4 . How? Simple . Like [Appraisal] I used it almost constantly .

Also, like how I used [Appraisal] I would multi-task while using it . As of now, I could split my thoughts into four ways .
The first was for thinking . Thinking took about 60-70% of my thought process . The remaining 30% was divided three ways . The second was for [Appraisal] and [Storage] . The third was for [Alert] and [Detection] . The fourth wasn’t being used so far . I would like to have another useful skill to fill it with .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt And my current status was like this:
Ren 10 Year old Race: Celestial Occupation: Orphan; Forest Dweller HP: 55/55 MP: 80/80 STR: 3 VIT: 3 DEX: 5 AGI: 3 INT: 500 MGC: 300 CHA: 14 LUK: 3 Skills: • Creation Magic LV2 •
• Magic: Light LV 2 • Magic: Fire LV3 • Magic: Water LV4 • Magic: Earth LV3 •
• Compound LV3 • Blacksmith LV1 • Metalwork LV2 • Woodwork LV3 • Apparel LV3 •
• Storage LV- • Life Magic LV7 • Appraisal LV7 • Alert LV4 • Detection LV4 • Cooking LV4 • Farming LV3 • Harvesting LV4 •
• Resistance: Hunger LV1 • Resistance: Fatigue LV1 • Resistance: Pain LV3 •
• Magic Attribute Apt.i.tude: All Attributes •
I became a forest dweller . Uwah~ And the occupation! Orphan! I’m still an orphan!? ……It would appear that the number of occupations will either increase or decrease depending if certain conditions are met .
Water Magic? It leveled up since I used water magic for baths everyday . And farming . Was it because I used to have an indoor garden? But during my time at the orphanage, I also tried… . . no, never mind, forget about it… . .
The reason why CHA went up was because my diet had improved and my malnourished appearance had disappeared . I also felt like my chest has grown recently . My height……there wasn’t any change .
No, never mind . I was still growing .
Yes, let’s take a positive stance!
…
……
………
Nothing! There’s absolutely nothing!
I had been walking for about an hour, but nothing had appeared . Detection hadn’t picked up anything . Even when it did detect something, whenever I got closer it would move away . ……Did the animals perhaps sense me? Maybe, I should walk more lightly?
At this rate, I wouldn’t find anything . At least give me a rabbit, or bird, or something……
Another hour had pa.s.sed . During this time I had been controlling my breaths and treaded lightly . And thanks to that I had obtained another skill . Stealth . If I recall, stealth should be an advancement of the skill [Light Steps] . So this was the result of continuously using it .
“……There . ”
I found a horned rabbit . And there’s two! Now I had to catch them . Plus both were big .
The horned rabbit had a single horn on its head . It was also a common food source .
I held my breath and hid myself . Fortunately, the direction of the wind wasn’t resistant . I took out a stone and aimed towards the horned rabbit .
…… . . And shoot! The stone tore through the air and landed with a splat .
A direct hit! Hurry, the second shot! Another direct hit! Yes! Meat! I’ll be feasting tonight!
No, enough of that . Was it the stone? Or rather the way I launched it? The speed was somehow different . Since I couldn’t drain the blood now, I placed it into [Storage] for the time being . It was very helpful since it kept the meat from spoiling . I’ll figure out how to skin it later . For now, let’s head home with the spoils!
As I prepared to head back I saw it .
A huge wild boar . No, it was seriously huge . And very close . Eh, what’s is this?
No wait, calm down! Now is not the time to be panicking! For now, just slowly back up and avoid agitating it, back up, just back up… . . ah, my back was against a tree . The wild boar didn’t look like it was going to leave and it was giving me a dreadful stare . A really dreadful stare . And here it comes!
I barely managed to dodge the wild boar’s charge . The wild boar’s tusk slammed into the tree, but it appeared unfazed . What is with this unreasonable situation! Ah, it’s charging again!
I hurriedly launched a stone at it, but it missed . I launched several more stones at the incoming wild boar, however only a few met its target while the rest missed completely .
Wait! Wait a second! It wasn’t this hard against the horned rabbits! What’s going on? Is because I’m moving? That’s it . It’s like sniping, I had time to prepare and concentrate but n–ahhh!?
This time I really did dodge at the last second . But I couldn’t keep it up any longer . My feet were becoming tired . I was scared .
It really was difficult to hit the target while it was moving .
The wild boar rushed forward again . I prepared to dodge it . But my legs were trembling too much and the boar managed to clip me on the side . The impact sent me flying, but luckily, I managed to avoid colliding into a tree .
…… . Lucky? How? At this rate, I will die . I was in pain . I coughed and blood came forth . Were my organs damaged? The situation really was getting worse . The wild boar turned towards me and began preparing to charge again .
……I don’t want to die yet . I was finally able to live freely……something, was there something else I could do?
The wild boar was even further than before . And I couldn’t move . If I didn’t move I would end up just like the rabbits . This wasn’t the time to lose hope . The wild boar was fine even when it rammed into a tree . I have to penetrate its head somehow . I would need the same strength as a rifle . I didn’t hesitate and shot with all my strength .
The stone ripped through the air with a tremendous force .
A gaping hole appeared in the wild boar’s head and it collapsed . ……Did I beat it? I defeated it! But my side was in pain . Most likely several ribs were broken . I wonder if I’m going to die like this…my conscious was becoming hazy……no, wait, wait, I have potions! I need to hurry up and drink it before I die! Hurry, drink—
Thus, that was how my first hunting experience went……no, wait a minute!? If I just looked at the results, this is a win!
