Chapter Three: Luck
I have been walking for about 2 hours now...
I came across a lot of those bushes that had those blueberry type fruits that knock you out and put you to sleep.
I decided to store a lot of them into my ring just in case for emergency situations where I was literally starving to death. So I figured that I would only eat these before I go to sleep.
I don''t know how many things I can store into my ring... the manual never really told me.... the manual didn''t really tell me much...
As I was slowly walking up the hill as my feet ached from literally walking all day... I hugged myself as the cold breeze swept through the plains.
When I reached the top of the hill I saw a multitude of trees in the distance.
"A forest!" I exclaimed.
It was the middle of the night and I didn''t want to risk sleeping out in the open where dangerous predators could be waiting for me to let my guard down before killing me.
Also I had the body of a 10 year old... which is my estimate, I could be wrong. Anyway, the point is that this body is incredibly weak so I first needed to find a safe place to rest.
I am also running out of water. I drank half of the water in my bottle and I don''t see any water sources nearby so I couldn''t refill my water.
I was hoping that in the forest I could find a water source and shelter there.
"Hmm... seems to be about 3 miles away..."
I hurriedly walked toward the forest.
As I entered the sea of trees, there was a vast array of plant life that flourished in this forest. I came across many new types of plants but I didn''t consume any of them. I didn''t want a mishap like the previous one and left them alone.
After walking for a short while there was a rustling noise in the bushes behind me.
I quickly turned around and my body tensed up. I took out my knife and got into a defensive position.
Suddenly a female deer popped out of the bushes and it pranced away to a nearby bush and began to eat some of the fruit that grew from it. It was round and red and about the size of a persons pinky toe.
I used [Identify]
[Deer Lv: 4]
"Whew. I''m glad that it wasn''t anything dangerous."
Suddenly and idea hit me.
I took out a handful of the berries that I picked from the bushes in the plains from earlier before.
I slowly approached and a twig snapped under me. I winced and the doe turned its head towards my direction.
I continued to stare at it as the doe stared at me. I slowly bent down, making sure not to make any quick movements that could scare the deer and I left the berries in the grass next to a small pebble.
Then I got back up slowly and walked backwards at a snails pace while facing the deer.
I entered into the bushes that the deer came out of and hid there.
The deer watched me the entire time as I went into the bushes and went out of sight.
It slowly got closer to the berries that I left on the ground as if it were curious.
It bent down and sniffed it.
My heart was pounding as I hoped that my plan would be a success.
The deer opened its mouth and began to eat the fruit.
''Yes!'' I cheered inwardly.
Now... all I had to do was wait.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.The deer completely at all of the small fruits in moments and went back to eat the red fruit on the other bush.
After a short while it''s legs began to wobble as the fruits sedative effects kicked in.
It fell to the ground with a thud and I knew that it was out cold.
I came out of the bush covered in leaves and twigs and I went up to the sleeping deer.
"Sigh... what a pity that I have to kill such a beautiful animal like you.... Your mother should have taught you to never trust strangers." I said as I looked down upon the doe.
I took out my knife and I stabbed it straight down into it''s neck and took it out.
I watched as the crimson blood poured out of its wound and it''s breathing became heavier and soon it died.
Suddenly a window popped up in front of me.
[Level Up!]
Congratulations Daniel! You have leveled up!
I have been watching you and saw your clever ways.
I have decided to gift you these things.
<6 Distributable stat points>
<1 lottery ticket>
<1 box of matches>
''Huh?''
A box of matches and a small golden slip of paper that said lottery on it appeared in front of me.
I saw in disbelief at the window in front of me...
''This pervert.....''
I wondered what the lottery token was... whatever I''ll worry about it later.
Luckily my ring was able to store the carcass of the dead deer.
I needed to get out of here quickly.
The scent of blood could draw carnivorous animals to me and I didn''t want that happening.
I found a suitable tree and began climbing it... and fell... and climbed again.... and fell again....
This went on for quite a while and I''m pretty sure that I got bruises on my buttocks from falling so many times on it.
As I settled myself as comfortably as I could on the tree branch I realized how tired and sleepy I was. But first I needed to figure out what this lottery ticket was.
I took it out of my inventory and began to examine it.
There were small words written on the bottom of it that said: rip to activate.
I thought there was no harm to it and did as I was told.
Another window popped up and asked me to choose between the [Wheel of Fortune] or the [Dice of Risk]
What the hell? Of course I''m going for the wheel of fortune.
Suddenly a wheel came out that was about 2 feet in diameter in front of me.
There were 16 slots that were evenly spaced out.
There were different categories that were placed on the wheel.
There was: Nothing, Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Curse.
8 slots had nothing on it so that meant that I had 50% chance of getting nothing... what the hell...
There were 3 curse slots also, there was minor curse, intermediate curse and major curse. I was hoping that I didn''t get any of those either.
So now there was 5 slots left... and there was 2 commons, 1 rare and 1 epic.
This is sooo unfair I thought.
But whatever. I spun the wheel of fortune and hoped for the best.
The wheel began to slow down and landed upon...
