Day 5 Cave
One day, I met gob-san in the forest, in the forest full of nothing but mushrooms, I met gob-san.
Clubbed it to death.
No, really, walking through the forest in search of food.

Bam! Wandering around while appraising, the only edible thing I find are mushrooms, and also some herbs, and then gob, gob, gob. Well, gobs are not edible.
Rare rabbits are a treat, but I have no ranged weapon and no magic. Erasing my presence and activating stealth I quietly approach and swoop down on them.
All hail Erase Presence and Stealth. They are super usable, a lot more so than the stuff from the white room. With all skills I've got from the God upon transference to another world being more useless than Erase Presence or Stealth, wouldn't it have been fine even without going to the white room?
What was even the point of the God showing up? The next time we meet I'm going to make him sit in seiza[1. TL Note: Japanese term for the standard formal traditional way of sitting in Japan.
To sit seiza-style, one must first be kneeling on the floor, folding one's legs underneath one's thighs, while resting the buttocks on the heels. ] and will question him for about an hour.V/\\IssT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n)./ for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Mushroom, mushroom, ah, a gob.Bam.
Somehow, I've gotten used to goblins before I even noticed. What do I do if I get affection towards them? Beating to death it is.
They are dull, with Erase Presence and Stealth I'm almost completely unnoticeable to them.
And with a swift attack they can't respond immediately.
And they always raise a club overhead.
In short, an ambush, and with momentum from that, bludgeon them to death. And a repetition of that.
Stopping to have an exchange of blows with them is dangerous. Their strength and defense are high, but they have no speed and even less intelligence.
Repetition of assaults, repetition of mushroom gathering, at times herbs, rarely rabbits. While making sure to avoid the wannabe delinquents.
There aren't many goblins near the cave, but their level is around 10-15, and when it comes to level 15, unless I attack them with my all they won't go down in one hit.
As for the forest, though there are many of them, they are only about lv 10, weaklings. A bonus to mushrooms, though I won't eat them.
I was summoned to the forest that has nothing but mushrooms and gobs.
Was I called from another world to protect this one from mushrooms and gobs?
Could it be that my life in another world would end at mushrooms and gobs?
Aah, I think I'm going to see mushrooms and gobs even in my dreams, let's sleep already.

Isn't forest a treasure-trove of foodstuff? Why are all of the treasures limited to mushrooms? Is there something wrong with vegetation? Is it that kind of a forest?
Where do I have to go to find other food? Or rather, what kind of food can I even find in a forest?
Trees had fruits on them, but what about the ground? Underground? There might be potatoes, but I won't find any unless I keep digging all over the place.
Maybe I should move my dwelling, but by now I grew attached to it.
But staying here means mushrooms all the time.
This is a difficult question, I already have enough mushrooms to live for a while without picking any more.
And even if I go to pick something, the only thing I'll find would be more mushrooms.
I'm diving headlong into being a hikikomori. Soon my NEETification will begin as well. And I've always been a loner.
