Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 8: I Was Dying

Now then, today was a fine day. The weather was great for hunting.

The preparations were complete. I was in light clothing, but it was slightly thick to provide better defence. I was also wearing light shoes with rubber soles, which were above the standards of this world. I wasnt carrying any luggage. Rather, it would be pointless since I have [Storage]. I locked my house. Alright, lets go!

I activated my skills after travelling a bit away from home. I used the skills [Alert] and [Detection]. I obtained both of these skills about three months ago.

Both were already LV4. How? Simple. Like [Appraisal] I used it almost constantly.

Also, like how I used [Appraisal] I would multi-task while using it. As of now, I could split my thoughts into four ways.

The first was for thinking. Thinking took about 60-70% of my thought process. The remaining 30% was divided three ways. The second was for [Appraisal] and [Storage]. The third was for [Alert] and [Detection]. The fourth wasnt being used so far. I would like to have another useful skill to fill it with.

And my current status was like this:

I became a forest dweller. Uwah~ And the occupation! Orphan! Im still an orphan!? It would appear that the number of occupations will either increase or decrease depending if certain conditions are met.

Water Magic? It leveled up since I used water magic for baths everyday. And farming. Was it because I used to have an indoor garden? But during my time at the orphanage, I also tried..no, never mind, forget about it..

The reason why CHA went up was because my diet had improved and my malnourished appearance had disappeared. I also felt like my chest has grown recently. My heightthere wasnt any change.

No, never mind. I was still growing.

Yes, lets take a positive stance!

Nothing! Theres absolutely nothing!

I had been walking for about an hour, but nothing had appeared. Detection hadnt picked up anything. Even when it did detect something, whenever I got closer it would move away. Did the animals perhaps sense me? Maybe, I should walk more lightly?

At this rate, I wouldnt find anything. At least give me a rabbit, or bird, or something

Another hour had passed. During this time I had been controlling my breaths and treaded lightly. And thanks to that I had obtained another skill. Stealth. If I recall, stealth should be an advancement of the skill [Light Steps]. So this was the result of continuously using it.

There.

I found a horned rabbit. And theres two! Now I had to catch them. Plus both were big.

The horned rabbit had a single horn on its head. It was also a common food source.

I held my breath and hid myself. Fortunately, the direction of the wind wasnt resistant. I took out a stone and aimed towards the horned rabbit.

..And shoot! The stone tore through the air and landed with a splat.

A direct hit! Hurry, the second shot! Another direct hit! Yes! Meat! Ill be feasting tonight!

No, enough of that. Was it the stone? Or rather the way I launched it? The speed was somehow different. Since I couldnt drain the blood now, I placed it into [Storage] for the time being. It was very helpful since it kept the meat from spoiling. Ill figure out how to skin it later. For now, lets head home with the spoils!

As I prepared to head back I saw it.

A huge wild boar. No, it was seriously huge. And very close. Eh, whats is this?

No wait, calm down! Now is not the time to be panicking! For now, just slowly back up and avoid agitating it, back up, just back up..ah, my back was against a tree. The wild boar didnt look like it was going to leave and it was giving me a dreadful stare. A really dreadful stare. And here it comes!

I barely managed to dodge the wild boars charge. The wild boars tusk slammed into the tree, but it appeared unfazed. What is with this unreasonable situation! Ah, its charging again!

I hurriedly launched a stone at it, but it missed. I launched several more stones at the incoming wild boar, however only a few met its target while the rest missed completely.

Wait! Wait a second! It wasnt this hard against the horned rabbits! Whats going on? Is because Im moving? Thats it. Its like sniping, I had time to prepare and concentrate but nahhh!?

This time I really did dodge at the last second. But I couldnt keep it up any longer. My feet were becoming tired. I was scared.

It really was difficult to hit the target while it was moving.

The wild boar rushed forward again. I prepared to dodge it. But my legs were trembling too much and the boar managed to clip me on the side. The impact sent me flying, but luckily, I managed to avoid colliding into a tree.

.Lucky? How? At this rate, I will die. I was in pain. I coughed and blood came forth. Were my organs damaged? The situation really was getting worse. The wild boar turned towards me and began preparing to charge again.

I dont want to die yet. I was finally able to live freelysomething, was there something else I could do?

The wild boar was even further than before. And I couldnt move. If I didnt move I would end up just like the rabbits. This wasnt the time to lose hope. The wild boar was fine even when it rammed into a tree. I have to penetrate its head somehow. I would need the same strength as a rifle. I didnt hesitate and shot with all my strength.

The stone ripped through the air with a tremendous force.

A gaping hole appeared in the wild boars head and it collapsed. Did I beat it? I defeated it! But my side was in pain. Most likely several ribs were broken. I wonder if Im going to die like thismy conscious was becoming hazyno, wait, wait, I have potions! I need to hurry up and drink it before I die! Hurry, drink

Thus, that was how my first hunting experience wentno, wait a minute!? If I just looked at the results, this is a win!
