For the time being, I don’t have something like a knife, so I should start with that.
I’ll probably be fine, if I make tools from stone, as they did in the stone age, but other than modeling them by striking stones, I don’t know much about how to craft them.
So, I decided to craft something by sharpening bones from those two rodents. First, I pulled out the weasel’s and rabbit’s frontal teeth. Then, I used the rabbit’s incisors to sharpen the weasel’s already sharp canines even further. Using the weasel’s canines, I opened the rabbit’s abdomen.
Of course, this ended up taking quite a long time.
I didn’t know the details for how to dismantle meat and which parts were edible. Therefore, rather than scraping off parts that looked edible, I tore it to shreds. That way, I got my hands on some meat.
Let’s make a meal of it later.
When I tore the meat apart, a large bone of the rabbit became visible. Naturally, said bone was rather gigantic. Though I didn’t know from which part it was1. I somehow managed to secure the bone, by breaking it off at its base.
…My hands are covered in blood and have an awful beastly smell.
I created a Water Ball in the palm of my hand, and used it to wash my hands and the bone I had obtained. My hands still had that beastly smell…
That probably wasn’t enough.
Though I had planned to sharpen a bone using teeth and stones, dusk was already falling around me. For that reason, I collected some branches and fallen leaves from my surroundings, combined stones and branches according to a method for creating a bonfire, which remained in some corner of my memory, and then set fire to it with a Flame Ball.
Woosh~.
…Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten anything since coming to this world. Though, it was a chaotic day, so it can’t be helped, you know.
I skewered the rabbit meat onto a suitable branch, roasted it, and then ate it. To be honest, it tasted incredibly awful. I forgot to drain its blood, so it had a strong gamy taste. Still, since I currently possessed no other food, I had to put up with it.
On that note, I had placed what remained of the rabbit’s and weasel’s corpses in a spot around 30 seconds walking distance away. I didn’t want them to rot and attract flies.
Well, it’s not like I know whether flies exist in this world.
That reminds me, something has been feeling out of place with my body since some time ago. I wonder, did it start, when I ate the meat? Well, I’m not in bad physical health, instead it’s a kind of relief, not a bad kind of unease.
…It feels similar to when I leveled up.
I immediately checked my status screen.
Some letters had shown up.
I see, so that sensation is when you get a new skill. I should remember it for the future.
“Dismantling★” had been added to my SK2 skill list. I looked at its details.

Dismantling ★ SKP: 0/30 Lv1: SKP-3 Lv2: SKP-7 Lv3: SKP-12 Lv4: SKP-15 Lv5: SKP-22 Lv6: SKP-30 |
Currently, I had exactly three SKP left. I allocated all of them to dismantling, raising it to level 1.
Huh… what is this…? I get the feeling, I can dismantle things skillfully now…
Is there such a difference whether you have the skill or not?
…That rabbit from before, there were still tons of parts I could’ve harvested from it, right…? What a waste. I completely spoiled that monster’s materials, didn’t I?
Afterwards, I toiled to make a knife from the bone I had obtained, and once I had it down to a usable shape2, I leaned against a tree and fell asleep…
Thus, the first day of my life in Anazumu came to an end.
You obtained the SK2 skill “Dismantling★”.
