I arrive at the cave again

  The way back only took about half the time

  Well, I knew the exact path to go as I′ve been marking trees diligently

  And I was in a hurry to escape the cold too

  Anyways I feel much better now after finally ridding myself of this hunger

  Though my condition is still far from perfect

  On that note, how′s my fever?

  “Current body temperature: 37.6 degrees Celsius” appraisal informs me

  It got better?

  Eeeeh~

  I thought my fever would definitely worsen after not resting and wandering around

  Are those fruits really that amazing?

  Honestly I can′t explain it otherwise

  I′ll continue relying on the Groosha tree for the future then

  I wish I could′ve brought some fruits back, but spending any more time outside is a bad idea

  I enter the cave and feel a warm breeze on my body

  Amazing how the temperature changes immediately

  I spread out three big leaves I picked up on the way back

  I′ve never seen any of such ginormous size before

  I can easily fit my whole body on them

  And that is, actually, the whole idea behind it

  Although the interior of this cave is surprisingly comforting, I don′t want to sleep on rocks

  This though should suffice as my bedding… for now

  If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  I lie down and immediately start feeling tired

  It wouldn′t be so bad to let my body rest right now, but I still have some thinking to do

  Let′s get it over with:

  One of my main troubles is that I don′t know where I am

  So much crazy stuff happened I can′t really evaluate my situation normally

  Take my body change or receiving this appraisal skill for example

  For all I know this all could just be a dream

  Or maybe some mad profs are testing their newly invented VR system after kidnapping me

  Or maybe I became the protagonist of a novel with a way too long name… (Author note: sorry)

  Or what if I had an accident on my way to the subway and am just hallucinating?

  “Maybe I'm really just hallucinating…” I′m honestly starting to believe that

  Ahhh, Hell if I know!

  For now I will treat this situation as real, I don′t have the leeway to care anymore!

  So let′s move onto the next point on my list: Surviving this mess

  Firstly, I need food and water

  For now I luckily have enough of both with these “bucket plants” and the groosha tree

  And yes, despite the fact that I only ate fruits I feel as if I have eaten a full course menu

  Although maybe this will change after my stomach digests a little

  I don′t have a clue for how long these fruits will keep me full

  Well, either way, I don't know how long I can rely on the water-supply as the plants could just dry out next thing I know

  This may seem a little extreme but I want to be prepared when worst comes to worst

  I should′ve “appraised” the plant itself not only the water inside of it…

  But other than water, once the fruits on the tree are all ate up I′ll need to search for another food supply

  As I′ve found the fruit tree there probably are other foods I can find

  It would be really nice if I were to discover a river or something

  Water wouldn′t be a problem then

  And I already miss fish…

  For now it may seem like wishful thinking but everywhere where′s live is also water

  So maybe I do have a chance…

  Then again, I perhaps can try out hunting to get my hands on some meat

  I actually saw some claw-marks on the trees I passed by which sent chills down my spine

  They weren′t that large so it probably wasn′t a bear or something of that caliber, but I still have to be careful

  To be honest I could easily turn out to be the prey with no equipment and all

  During my outing I also noticed how abnormally weak this body is compared to my… well, previous one

  I had barely enough strength to throw a measly stone

  Although I am weakened with my fever, I′m pretty sure that my overall physical condition is not the greatest

  If the animal which left the claw-marks runs into me and locks me as prey I′m gonna have a real bad time for sure

  I have to find some countermeasures as soon as possible.

  The third issue would be the cold weather, but thank god I found this cave…

  I cuddle up into a ball as the warm atmosphere surrounds me

  The only drawback is that I would probably be cornered if something were to enter the cave while I′m inside

  I can′t really do much about it at this point though

  Maybe set up some traps?

  No, I′m just missing the strength to do so

  And even so, what traps do I even know of? Digging a hole is too difficult and neither do I have materials for making other kinds of traps

  Maaan…

  The more I think the more hopeless it seems to become

  I probably should just sleep for now and recover…

  I slowly start feeling drowsy and before long drift off into dreamworld.
