"fish might be good for breakfast... no i have a literally tons of bear meat to eat first"

while walking back to his new home he checked the nearby plants and trees for sources of food, finding some small wild berries with a yellow color that looked poisonous at first glace but when he picked one and split it open a sweet smell spread out, tempted by the first source of sugar he had found Mars quickly stuffed his face with a handful of the yellow berries with a sweet taste almost like honey Mars named the small yellow berries honey barriers

"this should be enough exploration for now"

walking back to his cave Mars began the epic task of disa.s.sembling the giant bear while he thought of what he needed to do to make his caveman lifestyle more comfortable

"i need some furniture so i need a hatchet of some sort... maybe a bone hatchet?"

after working on skinning the bear until the sun went down Mars was only a little over half done, while chewing on some roasted bear meat he looked at his his tooth knife that had almost no blade left after he had sharpened it so many times during the day

"i need a new knife to huh... while i am at it i might as well make a sword"

just when he thought about making a sword he stated to fell uneasy and restless

"...what is this feeling?"

still feeling restless Mars look over at the half disa.s.sembled bear and walked over to the pile of bones he had made when he disa.s.sembled the bear while still feeling weird

"...i need a sword?"

as soon as he said it again he became even more restless

"is this a effect of the [Swordsmans.h.i.+p] skill?"

still a little puzzled Mars transformed his hand and picked up a bone, then stated to sharpen it into the shape of a sword, after half an hour of working Mars now held a bone sword in his hand

"...this will not do the blade is uneven, the balance is off and it is to light"

tossing the bone sword to the side he began working on the next one and soon stood with a new bone sword in his hands

"...this is no good either the grip is uneven"

beginning work on the next bone sword Mars entered a trance where only him and the swords he was making existed not even noticing time was pa.s.sing by, even when the sun rose and set again he was only focused on making a perfect sword, until after an unknown amount of time pa.s.sed and Mars again stood with a newly made sword

"... i suppose this will do for now"

in his hand was a single edged sword with a straight blade approximately 80 centimeters long, Mars stood and admired his work for some time before he started to get dizzy and after almost losing his balance he felt a banging headache

"why am i so thirsty?... and it feels like a could eat a horse too, how long was i making swords for?"

looking around Mars quickly saw that the pile of bear bones had turned into a small hill of bone swords, after being stunned for some Mars took a lot of bear meat with him down to the river where he drank a lot of water and roasted the meat to eat, after eating he went back to his cave and pa.s.sed out only waking up after sleeping for an entire day.

when Mars woke up the next day he grabbed his bone sword and went to the river to wash while he was drinking some water he discovered some movement on the opposite side of the river, tightening the grip on his sword Mars watched as a big panther nearly 2 meter high with smooth fur black as night, a long fluffy tail and 2 straight black horns that grew out form its head walked out from the undergrowth, Mars froze as he felt a sort of majestic air around the beast right until a glint of surprise pa.s.sed though its blue eyes as it made eye contact with Mars on the other side of the river and froze up mid walk as it was clearly not expecting him to be there, Mars feeling a little awkward greeted the cat

"...h.e.l.lo"

not sensing any hostility from Mars the big cat still a little cautions unfroze and slowly walked over to the riverside while it gave Mars a curious look

"...i am not going to hurt you as long as you don't hurt me"

with no need for more meat as it would likely spoil before he ate the rest of the bear meat and dreading to kill such a beautiful beast Mars tried to communicate his intentions to the cat and after a few moments of silent eye contact the cat stated to dirk some water as it had understood that this man was no mere prey but also had no intentions of hurting it, Mars also went back to was.h.i.+ng his face, a few minutes latter the panther stood and gave Mars a last look of wonder before it walked back into the forrest

"...that was kind of tense, well i guess that might be one of my new neighbors"

sightly loosening the grip on his sword Mars went back to the cave and worked on disa.s.sembling the rest of the bear for the rest of the day only finis.h.i.+ng when the sun had set and his knife was almost useless

while roasting some meat Mars rolled the brown transparent bead he had found when he disa.s.sembled the bear around in his hand

"it feels like this has the same amount of energy as the big wolf but there is something else in there..."

Mars played around with the bead while he though for some time before he ate it, feeling the usual feeling of energy being absorbed he also had the feeling that his body was being reinforced at the same time, a few minutes after he opened his status to confirm

feeling happy Mars went to sleep on the newly skinned bear hide
