David took the lead while Elizabeth followed behind. Bob was on David’s shoulder.
As they went deeper into the cave, it became darker and darker. Elizabeth frowned as she realized that this darkness was almost blinding.
I can’t see anything… how can David even move? Don’t tell me he memorized the goddamn cave?
Looking at the moving silhouette in front of her, Elizabeth sees that David is moving fluidly and with purpose.
Yeah… he definitely remembers the place.
Then David stops.
~Gasp~
Elizabeth lightly gasps whe
Elizabeth stayed by the torch as David continued to process the brine.Bob was sleeping on a small fur pile that David set for him.Ugh… this is so boring… How long have we been here?Elizabeth takes a chunk off from the hunk of dried meat.At least, this tastes good.The three of them have spent at least 2 days in the dark. David and Elizabeth took turns processing the brine into salt. They also took turns taking watch during their sleep times.Elizabeth knew that they were about to finish but she was still bored. These past few days have bee
David saw the monstrous reptiles rip and tear through the horde of night beasts but it wasn’t their brutality that caused him to fall but instead, it was Elizabeth. Elizabeth pushed him out of harm’s way. “Are you okay??” David saw Elizabeth’s worried face. He weakly nods. “Okay, that’s good. We need to get out of here now. I heard wings earlier and the Draco might come here.” David nods and he forces his body to stand up. He groans in pain.
One… Two… Three…David was stretching.A day passed since David’s declaration to Elizabeth.Despite the relaxing period, David still felt damaged. Each time he moved, he felt his wounds sting. He didn’t like staying in bed so he ignored the pain.It helped since he believed in the phrase “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.”So, he made sure to keep moving. If he spent all his time resting, he would feel restless.To reassure Elizabeth and Bob and prevent them from worrying, David made sure not to push his body too far.&
“So… why are we back at the cave?”Elizabeth looked around the massive cavern.It was an extremely dark abyss filled with both known and unknown monsters.Fortunately, the two of them brought fully lit torches.The light illuminated the general area around them.~This cave is full of resources. It wasn’t just a salt deposit. It also contains other materials and minerals.~“But aren’t there a lot of monsters here? You haven’t fully recovered, I don’t want to haul your dying ass out of here again. Also aren’t we endangering ours
In the infinite void, an entity watched the many universes around it unfold.The movement of each universe was extremely fast but it suddenly stops to show a world that the entity particularly liked. She looked down on the world and saw that her first guest still had the same problem.Hmm… David still can’t speak huh? Maybe I should remove that psychological barrier? Nah… He can handle it on his own. His mind is still intact, that’s the most important factor.Goddess looks at Foserense.The iron age huh? In 8 months, he’s progressed from using stone tools to heating up his first iron ore… It does help to have a bodyguard that’s immune to most physical d
David carried a bag full of charcoal towards the crude forge.The forge was already hot. It already had fuel in it but David continued to add more fuel so that the forge could reach the appropriate temperature.Without bellows to help him heat the forge, David had to devote a lot of energy so he can keep the heat at a high and optimal level.David continued this task for hours on end.He looked at the remaining supply of untouched iron ore. If he failed again, he would have to go back into the cave.David sighed at the thought of asking Elizabeth to cover for him again. He was semi-sure that Elizabeth would disapprove after the deception h
Elizabeth woke up.She looked at the cave window to see if it was already morning.A ray of sunlight was already hitting her body.Looking at the window, Elizabeth notices that the sun was rising.Without any delays, Elizabeth started to stretch to wake up her body.After a few minutes of warm-up, Elizabeth wears her newly skinned fur blankets and she goes out of her room.The fur blankets felt a bit uncomfortable but it was better than walking around naked. She trusted David but she didn’t like giving him a free show. At least, David was gentlemanly enough to look away.
Bob, David’s monkey friend, was traveling alone.Neither David nor Elizabeth was behind or in front of him. In this mission, Bob was entirely alone.There are times that Bob disappears from the waterfall.This doesn’t worry David as it simply means that Bob was either in the mood to explore or was looking for something.This usually happens when David is too busy with a task that requires him to stay at the waterfall. When he first started planting, David spent a long time reviewing the log and the plants nearby. Bob got bored and decided to climb down the waterfall on his own.When David noticed that his friend monkey disappeared, h
