Chapter 55: The First Kill
Chapter 55: The First Kill
Hah, here I am in the jungle. I’m not sure why, but I felt nostalgic.
My eyes scanned the terrain and found that tall trees surrounded me. A few days ago, I was exploring the jungle as a monkey. Now I’m back in the jungle again.
However, everyone seems to have been teleported to different areas. I was expecting to spend my time with Diana this time, but the rules have changed. Well, I can do whatever I want, so this is good for me.
Well, I came prepared this time. To prepare for these six months, I’m going to spend in the jungle. I bought a lot of things from the city. I removed my backpack and stored it in my inventory.
My sword which I also bought in the city, I stored in the inventory. Then, I checked my device and saw that I was quite far away from the border.
We were told they would pick us up after surviving the jungle for six months. If we die in the jungle, the tracking device would notify the forces.
After closing my eyes, I could hear many insects chirping. It reminded me of my days as a monkey, when I would sleep on the trees, surrounded by mosquitoes.
Anyway, I left that place to see if I could meet any animals in the surrounding areas.
I called out to Eve to ask for something, which was going in my mind.
“Eve”
“Yes, host?” She replied.
“So you would help me, right?”? To make me stronger,” I asked her in anticipation.
‘Yes Host, you’ll be given appropriate tasks which will help you improve.’ She replied emotionlessly.
That’s what I was expecting, let’s see what task she would assign me.
As I wandered the jungle for a while, I did not see any animals I could hunt. An abrupt roar came from afar, perhaps a leopard was fighting there.
As I slowly walked there to observe, I thought about hunting that leopard if I could.
I camouflaged myself and moved closer; after a while, I saw a man almost fighting a very large leopard. When I looked closely, I saw he was the asshole who was standing behind that man who was mocking Olivia.
Hah, well, this is great. Let’s see how this man survives. However, I was surprised that the leopard was speaking normally.
“It is you people who are disrupting our lives again. Can’t you people live normally?” the leopard growled. Clearly, the leopard was badly injured.
The man was holding the gun in one hand and was smiling foolishly.
“Just die, you are just the animals born to be slaughtered,” he scoffed and shot the leopard. Leopard dodged the bullet and hurled a massive fireball towards that man.
Ah, so this leopard has the firepower. Hopefully, I will get the ability to use fire this way.
Suddenly, the man vanished and appeared close to the leopard, shooting him in the stomach.
The leopard let out a roar and fell to the ground.
Seeing the leopard in front of him, the man crouched down and slowly said, “See, this is what I am talking about. You are born to be slaughtered.”
It’s hard to describe, but I felt a sudden rush of anger towards him. What the fuck is this man talking about?
After teleporting behind him, I stabbed him with my sword in his chest while holding his head with the other hand.
“AHHHHHHHHH” he shouted.
The only thing he could see was my sword sticking out of his chest.
I took off my camouflage and stared at him mockingly, and then walked to where the leopard lay on the ground, panting.
I took out the knife from the inventory and stabbed the leopard towards its neck.
“Take some rest,” I muttered as I moved back toward the man.
“Wh…who are you?” That man struggled to speak to me. Blood was coming from his mouth.
“Don’t you remember animals are supposed to be slaughtered? Well, you are in the middle of being slaughtered right now. How do you feel? And one more thing: never show that disgusting laugh at anyone.” Afterward, I hacked off his neck to kill him.
I don’t know how I feel, but I didn’t feel remorse after killing the man. This was my first ever killing any human.
The thoughts of this man disgusted me, as we are here for survival, and no one has the right to slaughter another human or animal.
After quickly storing the supplies of this man in my inventory, I moved towards the lifeless leopard.
After skinning him, I removed the meat from his body and ate it, hoping that I would gain some power from it.
My body suddenly heated up. I felt as if I was burning from the inside out.
My head buzzed again with a notification.
“Fire attribute Collected.”
