Fenton woke up, climbing down the tree and checking if his trap had sprung.

It did.

He then began to weave a rope with some surrounding grass, ending up with a Simple Rope (Around 20 meters long) Spending most of the morning on making the rope.

With a quick decapitation of the rabbit with his Simple Axe he hung it up to bleed using his Simple rope against the tree.

After collecting nearby materials he ended up finding a lake in the direction of his landing location.

He grabbed 2 flat leaves, which he used to hold the rabbits carcass.

Returning to the lake he collected a few clumps of red clay by the bank, making 3 simple bowls separated by large flat leaves in his bag.

Traversing back to the plains he laid the 3 simple bowls out to solidify in the dry plains.

He had caught sight of a settlement nearby but decided to avoid it for now, Not sure who were there and how they acted if he came close.

Using a Small stone he primitively sharpened the edge of his last Pointed stone, making a Sharpened stone, and he used his Sharpened stone to skin the rabbit.

After roughly skinning the rabbit he obtained; Tattered Pelt, 3 Pieces of Rabbit meat, 2 pieces or Rabbit tendon, 5 small bones, and a handful of broken bones.

The sun was setting so he planted himself on the ground and started to craft his supplies. He wrapped the rabbit meat in large flat leaves, He took his split stick and tied a rabbit tendon to it, creating a, Simple (but surprisingly powerful) slingshot. He secured his sharpened stone to a small bone creating a Bone Knife

The dim light of the moon wasn't very illuminating, so he packed everything in his bag and climbed another tree. He slept, anxious to build a house to stop sleeping on the hard branches.

(Current Inventory: 5 twigs, 5 long grass, Tattered pelt, 3 pieces of wrapped meat, 1 rabbit tendon, 4 small bones, broken shards of bones, 18 small stones, 3 simple bowls, Grass Belt, Simple Slingshot, Simple Pick, Simple Axe, Unlit Small Torch, 1 Unknown fruit.)

A magitech, human nanomancer from a futuristic Earth... no more.​

With spare rations for the journey, Glitch finally went deeper into the forest. The now cold rabbit meat did not look nor taste good, but taking bites and pieces of it during the walk allowed him to feel a little bit satisfied through the day. On his path, he also managed to gather a few stalks of Stinging Neetle, which he knew could be made into some good rope. It was by then that he felt the need to have a bag, because soon he would not have pockets to carry all the things he had in him anymore.

That being so, grabbing long pieces of grass from the ground around – which wasn’t really that hard – he used around thirty of then to make a nice bag. In truth, the first fifteen were wasted as he failed to do anything. He was starting to really miss his nanobots, they would made this far easier. In the end, though, he still managed to weave them together and make a bag.

After doing that, he went on a tangent and completely forgot what he came here to do. In the end, he filled the beg with a few more stalks of Stinging Neetle – which he judge was enough to make fifteen to twenty meters of rope.

+ 1 wild Sheep named 'the Destroyer'
+ 1 baby bird
+ 3 eggs.

GLITCH’S PERSONAL INVENTORY

Sky
A moving angel statue

Sky woke up early. He contemplated what he would and should do while awake in the long dark night.

So he first scouted the surrounding forest. He found a pond and a bonfire. When he found a carcass near bonfire, he knew he got the jackpot. Some guy just ate the meat and left the remains gaining him bones, tendons, pelt and innards.

He decided to reluctantly eat the other innards such as liver as he saw no other uses for it

If there's something he needed right now then it might be a knife. So he picked a rough rock and wetted it. Now he's not an expert in blades but he heard that whetstones sharpen things so he tried his luck. Picking through every bones, he sharpened them and attempted to make them. He successfully made a bone knife though at the cost of every other bones (We never talk about how he failed in every bones and desparately made it with the last one).

After satisfied with his work, he went and cleaned the pelt and the bladder. He cleaned and washed the scraps and let them dry so he could tan them later.

As he was washing in the river, he saw a clay nearby.

"Is that clay?!" he exclaimed.

As an alchemist, he was well aware of it's uses and how it could solve his predicament in reinforcing "Rock shelter", so he made sure to bring some home.

The rest of the day was spent improving and reinforcing "Rock Shelter". Now reinforced, the man-made cave can withstand people standing and jumping on it. And while on the subject on improvement he moved obstacles randomly and created artificial mounds of dirt and rocks everywhere so people can't find "Rock shelter" without actively searching for it.

When the evening came he boiled the brain and water mixture in the bonfire with a pot he crudely made and dried. He took the mixture and pasted it on the pelt and bladder. Now he only needed to smoke it so he built a slapdash smoke rack on the bonfire.

"Now the easy part" he said
until he realized he had to wait for it to finish while the sun is setting

Now regretting that he jinxed himself, he had to walk through the forest in the dark with only his previous footsteps to guide him.

"Rock shelter"
Found in the forest near the village. Camouflaged but has a chance to be found if actively searched.
-can shelter one person
-5 Blackberries
-1 sharp stick used in digging
+Bone knife
+Tanned pelt and bladder
+Tendon
+Clay pot



"Village"
+ Broken bones
-remains of a failed sharpening attempt.
Though the quote "A man's trash is another's treasure" might apply and someone might saw it's use...
+Crude whetstone
-The owner threw away as he wasn't satisfied with how it sharpened but worry not the owner just don't know how to use this.
+Bonfire with an ugly smoke rack
-just a normal bonfire with three sticks as a stand that supports a twig mesh on top of the fire. Covered with large leaves that can be blown away if not tied properly​

After storing the neetle and resting for a while, Glitch went on his way. Eventually, as he continued to walk straight north - which allowed him to know how to get back to the village - he chanced upon a river. Grinning to himself, he went around and gathered everything he needed - and after a good old search, he finally found a nice river rock with fine grained stone. The other parts of the process were easier, and it didn't even take five minutes to find a good piece of green wood. The last object he got his hands into was a hammering rock, which he used form sharpen and shape his first piece of stone.

A lot of boring work later, he managed to make a rudimentary axe - the river rock had been shaped and sharpened well enough to cut into a tree's bark and, he imagined, on a beast's hide. To attach it to the green piece of wood, Glitch had to go through the long process of weavering the neetle into some rope - decreasing his storage by a full three meters. Most of it was wasted, though. He knew of the process because he had read about it, but field experience was another thing altogether.

"Urgh!" He groaned, feeling his stomach grumble. He was really tired though. Making a single axe had taken most of his day. Nonetheless, he still managed to get up from the ground, get his wooden spear ready and catch a few fish in the river. Three of them went inside his stomach still raw since he was too lazy - and tired - to make another bonfire. Another three fish he wrapped in leaves, before putting inside his bag. He prayed to the Game Master - which by now he believed that existed somewhere - that they would not spoil before his next meal.


Random Fact: If we boil or steam the bones, and then pulverize them (narratively speaking, a magic missile should be able to do that), we will have bone meal. Which is a true fertilizer apparently, and not just something you can find in Minecr*ft.

Random Fact 2: A bunny's bones are apparently brittle, so they are not that great to use in a weapon - or so I believe.
ITEMS STORED IN THE VILLAGE FOR EVERYONE’S USE:
1 wild Sheep named 'the Destroyer'
1 baby bird
3 eggs.

GLITCH’S PERSONAL INVENTORY
1 rudimentary wooden spear.
1 rudimentary axe (stone+wood)
1 grass bag.
3 raw fish wrapped in leaves.
Stinging Neetle – enough for 12~17 meters of rope.
Please, let my next roll be a 20 '3'​

Yamai
Black hair, brown eyes, pale; a typical Earth(modern) human male.​
Yamai woke feeling cramped and sore. It took a couple minutes, before he was able to get out of the crevice he was using for shelter. Taking in his surroundings, he didn't notice anything. "Huh, where are all the animals?"

Still sore, Yamai decided he'll take it easy today. He went to the pond and washed himself and his clothes. Went up to the mouth if the stream and set up a choke point. Took off his shirt and fixed it in place. Using one hand to close the head opening, he picked up a stone, and tossed it into the pond. It took multiple attempts, and many corrections, but he was finally able to catch a fish!

Clothes still wet, and not sure how to make a fire with the resources on hand. "Probably should have tried making a fire first. Maybe some of the rocks here would have worked." commented Yamai. " Guess, I'll just look for some sharp rock to cut the fish, and eat it raw..... Hope there are no parasites."

After finding the rock, Yamai proceeded to gut and descale the fish as best he can. Washing his rock and fish by the pond, he then tore the fish into as thin a slice as he could, and very carefully went over them for any parasites. Nothing stood out to his amateur eyes. "Nothing odd, so here goes."

Finished with the fish, washed the bones. "Maybe I can do something with them. Unlikely." He heads back to the waterfall, get a drink, and starts molding he clay into a container. He washes his hands, eats the remaining berries, then head off to sleep once done.

Collected items: [Self]
Rock: Fist-sized = 2
Stick: Sapling = 1
Grass bag = 1;
Flat rock = 1;
Unfired Clay container = 1

Grinding. That was a word Glitch knew well. Back from where he came from, all sorts of games required people to grind to level up or get certain items and resources. Knowing that, though, only worked to make him more sure of the fact that this was a game, and that he was not real. It also lead his thoughts in an odd direction, that shall be explored eventually. That aside, the young man did not waste his time after his rest - instead, he picked more river stones, a few more hammering rocks and a bit of green wood branches and sticks. The process was slow and painful, but eventually, he still managed to make a rudimentary knife and a rudimentary spear with a sharp spearhead made of rock.

With that settled, he looked around for more stinging neetle, since he wasted some with each try. In the end, he managed to get in his hands in another fifteen meters worthy of neetle. That, coupled with what he had in his bag, put him at roughly twenty three meters whort of fiber. Unfortunately, all the activity completely drained him of energy. He really wanted to go back and make a corral for The Destroyer now that he had some rope. But just thinking about the distance he would have to walk, and all the energy he'd have to spend to tie the wooden logs and sticks together made him sigh.

'He can probably wait another day, right?' Completely ignoring the fact that he had not been feeding the animals, Glitch laid to rest right next to the river. In the meantime, he ate another raw fish and, this time, he stored the bones to use as needles - instead of just throwing them back in the river.​



Random Fact 3: A quick search in the internet enlightened me to the fact that fish bones can be used as needles. Didn't go deep into that, but I will just conveniently assume that most fishes, or at least the ones Glitch caught, will serve that purpose.

ITEMS STORED IN THE VILLAGE FOR EVERYONE’S USE:
1 wild Sheep named 'the Destroyer'
1 baby bird
3 eggs.

GLITCH’S PERSONAL INVENTORY
1 rudimentary wooden with a sharp, stone spearhead.
1 rudimentary axe (stone+wood)
1 rudimentary knife.
1 grass bag.
2 raw fish wrapped in leaves.
5~6 fish bone needles.
Stinging Neetle – enough for ~23 meters of rope.
Last post of the day, and just me being random again '3'
Hope everyone is having fun, 'cuz I am.

(I am just using the bone as a handle as of now, so Fenton's hands don't get cut using the rock knife)

Fenton woke up as per usual and this time decided to build a Tent. If done properly he figured he could have a livable space by the lake by downfall.

His next order of business was to chop down a large tree. Hitting the tree with his Simple axe seemed to work as it was steadily chipped away at the tree. Once it had fallen to the ground he Chopped all of the branches off and collected them into a pile, ending up with 10 Long branches, 25 (leafed) small branches, a ton of leaves, and 20 thick logs.

The sun had begun to set and he had built the base 4 Long branches staked in the ground and 4 Long branches that was connected to the ones staked in the ground.

Weaving together the small branches made for a decent leaved roof and and the leftover leaves were perfect bed, a bit scratchy but much more comfortable then the bark of the tree.

Technically He was still sleeping in this tree. Now he had a small storage place in his new house. Taking a bite out of the fruit it remarkably tasted like an apple, but it figures, it looked like an apple too.

ITEMS IN FENTON'S LEAF HOUSE
20 Thick Logs
Bed of Leaves
