Chapter 6 - 4 Gaia (Part 2)

[Maybe you should buy a manual or something like that to cut up]

"Does the system have such a thing?"

[Surely, it contains all the books edited in the worlds, it shouldn't be difficult to find it. Do you want me to find and buy one for you?]

True, Aurora is also connected to the system, I had completely forgotten. This is bad ... maybe she thought I didn't trust her or felt insecure allowing her to operate the system. Well, I may be thinking things too much.

"Sure, please do it Aurora"

[Ready, it has been stored in the inventory, it is [How to skin animals for consumption, for fools] and cost 1G, you can take it now]

After a few seconds she report her achievement, that was quick ... also what happens to that name? Isn't it a bit offensive? would also like to know what Aurora thought to choose it ...

[In several book descriptions it was the one that said that it could be learned quickly and easily, that's why I chose it, is there a problem? Should have selected another?]

"No, do not worry, they are only my detriments to the name of the book, let's first see it and find out if it is useful or not."

I took the book from the inventory, it was not very thick, and flipping through it a little I could see some ill.u.s.trations as an example. ... damn, do I have to hang the wild boar? ... look at the wild boar and then the trees around, it is impossible, suppose that for some miraculous and strange reason I can lift it, doubt that any branch of a tree can bear its weight ... let's keep reading for now.

Turning the pages then saw the process in case the animal could not be lifted. Well, the first thing is to bleed the wild boar.

Since I don't want to make a mess here and that blood can attract monsters, I bought a large metal container for 20G. Place it under the pig's head and with the sword I had taken from the inventory cut his jugular. Blood flowed inside the container, then just wait.

After a few minutes the stream of blood had decreased to a simple drip, remove the container to the inventory, it seems that I can also store things that contain others inside, then I will throw it away elsewhere. Well, now as in the manual, turn it over him back and start from the legs. I cut the skin in a line from the base of the limb to him body by inserting the tip of the blade between the skin and the muscle, repeated the process with each of its legs, and then made an incision in the middle of the neck boar to the crotch.

Now there was only going to be pulling the skin and separating it from the flesh by cutting with the sword. Although the blade had a great edge facilitating the process, it still took me about two hours to skin it completely for having no experience. I cut the legs and head directly since I did not feel the need to peel them, I did not plan to eat them.

Finally I opened his belly with care not to puncture the viscera´s, once I could see them I simply removed, what I got as a result was a body of wild boar with only its flesh and bones.

"Fuuu... it´s done"

[Fufufu ... good job Alexander]

I exhaled a sigh having the pleasant feeling of doing a good job and Aurora praised me in a good mood. As did not intend to eat it all at once, I separated a foot and the rest keep it in the inventory. I can probably eat wild boar for a while.

The only thing left was to store the things and remains that I didn't want, I wrapped them in the plastic and put back into the inventory. I feel strange using it as a dumpster, whatever, disarm it later.

Finally, I washed the meat that planned to cook to remove excess blood and also rinse my hands to clean them. The only thing left was to spray a little dust to neutralize odors.

I moved near the entrance to the cave and began to prepare things for a campfire and to cook the boar's leg. Buy utensils and some spices and salt from the system store for added flavor, all for a price of 430G.

Finally, after about 3 hours since I began the work of skinning the wild boar, it had its meat cooking in the fire. Well, before eating, I should take a shower and change my clothes. I said to me while looking at myself.

It really has been a long day, there were spots of blood and dirt all over my clothes and body. Moving away from the fire enough I undressed completely, took the canteen and poured the water on me. After about 15 minutes I had removed all the dirt, nothing is really better than a good bath and a cool beer after a difficult day. And although I could only get the first of things, for now it is enough. Or rather I think shouldn't drink with the age of this body ... it will take a while until can get get drunk again.

"Haaa"

I let out a sigh with some grief and taking out a clean set of clothes to change me. I approached the fire again to warm my body that had cooled and check the boar's cooking. Rotate the meat from the container that was on the tripod that supported it over the flame. So it did not will burn and cooked in the most uniform way possible.

The smell began to emanate from it, very pleasant indeed. I could even feel my mouth secreting more saliva forcing me to swallow in a sound way. I watched anxiously waiting for the moment to get the meat out of the fire.

"Hahaha ... now I'll chew your meat damn pig "

It seems that I was still resentful of the wild boar since unintentionally while licking my lips that phrase came out by itself.

To kill the time during the wait for the food to be ready, I decided to review the objects won in the mission of the goblins. First remove one of the most intriguing from the inventory, the small chest.

Put it in front of me, I wonder if in this world when you kill monsters there is the possibility that they appear? This world is more and more like a video game, similar characteristics continue to emerge.

[It's chest did not appear by some law of this world Alexander, it is an additional reward of the system. And yes, you are correct in thinking that it looks like a video game, Cross's design was based on the video games of your world to make it easier for you to understand. Sometimes when you kill monsters these chests will appear as extra rewards. What they contain depends on the level of the chest, the more elaborated then better things it will give you. The wooden one you just got is the simplest, so don't expect much]

"It's not like I can complain about something free"

Try to open the chest, touching it shook a little as if it were alive, that surprised me. Then the lid lifted slowly, at that moment remembered the game trap monsters, I really hope that Cross does not have a bad sense of humor to end up killing me for something he gave me.

[Don't worry Alexander, no cheating chests will appear, they will only be chests with objects inside]

When Aurora was comforting me the lid opened completely and several objects sprouted, a gold card with a G in it, black leather shoes, a bigger crystal than the one I took out previously and some jars.

[1,000x Gold] [100x Crystals] [Lizard Leather Shoes-J] [2x Potions-I]

The funny thing is that the names and description of the objects appeared on them as small windows of the system. This should be my ability [evaluation] working alongside the system, but why does it appear so far and has not appeared in others?

[It must have been because you watched them thinking about what they were and your ability was activated and for the other objects it was probably worthless]

I see, said as took the gold card and the crystal in my hands. So these can merge ... that has prevented me from problems, it is good that they did not spread all over the place and I had to collect one by one. The shoes look like my size, has the system considered my current appearance or was it just lucky to get them my size? The safest is the first ...

The potion are higher in quality than those given to me in the first mission. Since I am healing well and am not going to do anything risky for today, I will wait to recover completely. I will save them and use what already had otherwise would be a waste.

[If possible, the system automatically selects the appropriate objects so that you can use them comfortably, excluding those with a pre-established fixed form or that you specify to be otherwise. In addition, I also believe that it is better to store the potions, although there is not much difference in quality, they are superior to the others. In case you suffer more serious wounds, they can heal things that others can't do.]

"I thought so ... finally, it seems like the food is ready, let's try it"

While listening to Aurora, I watched the state of the flesh, it seemed to have roasted completely. I picked up the objects with enthusiasm and approached the fire, took the knife had previously cleaned and cut a good piece of the boar's leg. Place it on a plate and blow it to cool it.

When I judged that it was enough not to scald, clenched my teeth as revenge. I felt a surge of flavor spreading through my mouth causing me to stop the jaw.

"Delicious ... this is really delicious"

Coming out of the momentary stun, I take a bite of the meat again, soon the plate was empty, then take the knife and cut another piece of the boar's leg. I ate as if I was afraid someone would come and take it away from me.

After a while I was licking the bone, as expected everything good comes to an end. At first, I thought that the whole leg of the wild boar would be a lot and would have to keep what was left in the inventory for tomorrow, but everything just entered my stomach. I am surprised that managed to finish everything, wonder if I will not end up like those gluttonous characters like Goku or Luffy ... well, if that happens I will only have to get more food.

"With this you are forgiven damn pig"

Put my hands together in a small prayer to the wild boar, if it were alive would probably spit blood until died again.

[Fufufu ... it is normal to have a good taste, although it was a low level being, in this world and several others the body of all creatures absorbs the energy of the world in their cells, after dying this energy spreads and returns to the environment once again or is absorbed by the one who killed him. However, there are still some remains in their flesh, so it is said that dragon meat is a delicacy, since as strong beings they store a greater amount of energy in their bodies.]

"Ooh ... dragon meat ... one thing to wait for in the future"

Even satiated by the large amount of food I ate, could not help salivating by imagining a taste superior to the one I had just tasted.

"... Wait Aurora. Does that also apply to me and other humans?"

Suddenly my face turned pale at the thought of the possibility of a world full of cannibals. It can't be that they sell meat from people of a level 2 or higher soul as a treat, right?

[Well ... I think the taste of things also depends on the mentality of individuals, since usually eating meat from your peers would generate disgust or nauseous by instinct. So you should not worry about this being a world of cannibals. Although as I said this world is very wide and varied so there could be a large number of deviants]

"Haaa ... it's good that the predominant in this is normal. Have you also said that when you kill something you absorb the energy from the other side?"

[Right, but not only by killing you can absorb the energy, just by fighting as in a duel without killing you can achieve that, you can see it as being taken from the energy spent in the fight or a reward from the world, well, it's complicated because it implies the laws of the world. And for a reason equal to the previous one, people do not find themselves killing at their first meeting without have grievances, but it is certainly more common for them to seek strength by killing others]

"I think to understand. I just have to be stronger than others to secure my life."

[That's Alexander spirit]

When Aurora cheered me up, a smile formed on my face, I cannot complain, already have many advantages that others do not have, it will not be easy to survive here but I already expected it when came to this world, I can only strive.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already going down, it probably has only a little more than an hour of light. Thinking about that, I checked the inventory and took out the object that was bothering me since I got it.

"Aurora the summon parchment is what I think it is for?"

[Yes, it is to bring a person from another world ah this. But it is up to the person to accept and follow you. Since this does not force they to do that, so you will have to convince or negotiate with the other person so that the parchment is not wasted. From the worlds you know it is better that you choose a person who is adaptable and their ties to their world are not too strong. Preferably someone who dies in their world to take the call as another opportunity]

"Fuuu ... those are many requirements, but several people come to mind that fit the description. Well, I'll think about it tonight and tomorrow will use the scroll"

I kept the [Level 1 Summoning Parchment] again, it shouldn't make a big difference to me in strength by her being a level 1 soul, right?

"Aurora can you explain to me how different are the souls with the level increase?"

[Of course Alexander, Level 1 souls are like normal people consisting of your world, their physical level would be like:

1-4 A minor child.

5-9 An average man.

10-19 A man with the developed physique.

20-49 A soldier or trained disciple.

50-89 A martial arts Master in a discipline.

90-99 A man who is at the physical peak of a level 1 soul.

Variations of levels can be considered the experience of the individual, in addition this is only an example using your world, in others it may be that to be considered a Master in a discipline you must reach higher soul levels and therefore physical as well. Just take it as something to give you an idea not as a rule that it is always like that.

If you want to standardize it more, you can see it as those of a low level 1-60 would be lost when facing a firearm, while for those of level 61-99 although the weapon is still deadly they can react to the movements of those who carry it and evade it.

A level 2 soul from the beginning can be considered super men, breaking their first physical limitation and these are stronger, the usefulness of firearms will decline, although they can not yet be considered immune to them. Here the individual begins to integrate a type of energy into his body to strengthen it.

A Level 3 Soul Has greater control of this energy, capable of showing a power to completely destroy houses or buildings.

The people of a level 4 Soul can be considered tactical level weapons. Able to wipe out entire cities.

Level 5 souls would be people whose powers are on par with that of natural disasters, being able to decimate entire areas of a world.

In souls from level 6 onwards I only know that divinities already come into play or are people who have reached the level of the gods. The other information is blocked, if you want to know will have to get close to that level]

"... uh, so a god is only level 6 ... or rather, how long will it take to reach that level? It is certainly not easy. Aurora Why do worlds that have weapons comparable to people with a level 4 soul remain as worlds level 1?"

[Weapons are inanimate objects and the laws of the worlds only take into account the level of the souls of spirit beings]

"So not only a person with a stronger soul than me can kill me, but also someone weak but with a powerful weapon. Fuuu ..."

[That feeling is shared by all who are threatened by someone weaker, but with a strong weapon. You may think that this is also his strength, but one sure thing is that a person with a level 4 soul is much more fearsome than a person with a level1 soul and a strong weapon, since the latter would have greater vulnerabilities]

I can imagine that. It would be possible to face a level 1 Soul with a powerful weapon taking countermeasures and making plans. But if you face a level 4 Soul it would be a dead end almost 100%.

"Tomorrow will be a new day to wait for, let's rest early"

Because those things look distant, cut with those thoughts, let's focus first on what we can do and after that we'll see what follows.

I got up and put out the fire by kicking some dirt on it, then walked to the cave and entered, took out the sleeping bag and spread it on the floor and then went inside. And as watched the rays of the sun disappearing I began to think about the possible companions I could summon tomorrow.

I hope things go well tomorrow, even with the presence of Aurora to talk to her, someone physical to interact with him is a necessity as a person.

[That's cruel Alexander]

Aurora's voice claimed me in the form of reproach.

"Hahaha ... I'm sorry about that Aurora, but it's not like I'll put you aside. Well, think I'll try to sleep, good night Aurora"

[Have a nice rest Alexander. And don't worry, I will be accompanying you all your life fufufu ...]
