"Where am I?"

If I'm not mistaken, I was on a ship.

Oh right, the ship sank. It sank because of that monstrously huge maelstrom.

I don't know how I survived, but I sure was lucky to survive that. I thought for sure that it was the end of myself.

I should be grateful, but somehow I don't feel like it.

Maybe because I was always so lonely. Not in the sense of friends, but in the sense of a romantic partner.

I have friends, or probably had.

My friends, they were all on the same ship as me. Did they all die? I hope they didn't.

Shit, it's very likely that they all died. I'm possibly the only one that's left.

Now, where is this place? Wait, what is this place? Those plants, I've never seen them before.

*GRUMBLE*

Ugghh, I'm so hungry. Is there anything eatable here? For now, searching for food is my biggest priority.

____________________________________________

Oh, is this a fruit? I've never seen this fruit before. Let's just eat it. I don't have any other choice.

*Crunch*

Tastes kinda sweet. Hold up, this is, this is so SPICY!! Isn't this just a chili pepper?!

It looks like a big juicy but wrinkly, tomato. And it has a deep red colour to it. So I was expecting it to taste like what it looked like.

I can't possibly survive just by eating this. I need to find other food.

Damn it, the spiciness is still raking up.

*COUGH*

What is this?? This is even spicier than chili peppers!

Is this even spiciness?? It feels like it's just fire burning through my mouth.

No way, the heat is still rising!

There's a loud ringing noise in my ears. My body is soaking in sweat. My mouth only feels heat. And my eyes are now blurry.

Oh fuck, I'm feeling dizzy. My vision is narrowing as well.

Am I gonna faint again?? Right now? 

If I die because of this, it's probably gonna be the stupidest death in human history.

Death by spiciness, now that's a joke. Okay, probably not. Okay, I'm gonna die. Fuck.

____________________________________________

Huh, it's night time already. And I'm not dead.

Okay, so I fainted again.

Curse this weak body. I've always had this weak body ever since birth.

I can't even count how many times I got sick for a week, just by catching flu.

What's worse is that I'm not smart as well. My smartness is just slightly above average.

For your information, that slightly above, was the result of me trying my best in studying just to get into the academy.

And now that I'm stranded here, it's all for naught.

Maybe it's for the best, because back then, I had no future goals.

Sure I wanted a girlfriend, or even better, a wife of my own. But that's just an unrealistic dream of my own.

My looks are average, but I'm horrible when it comes to the opposite sex. What's worse is that I'm not an outgoing person, so I only had few friends.

Anyways, somehow that fruit satisfied my hunger a little bit. And now my stomach is uncomfortably warm.

Even though it was immeasurably spicy, I might need to rely on it. Shit.

Alright, let's make a sack for storing stuff out of my ragged cloak. It might look like a shabby brown piece of cloth that is just tied together, but I'm sure it'll be very useful.

Now that it's done, let's collect some more of that horrible fruit.

One, two, three, four, five, six fruits. I only managed to find six of them.

That'll be enough for now, I guess. The problem now is water.

The fruit sure was juicy, but I lost more sweat than gained from eating it. I need to procure it now.

Let's collect dew from leaves, some of the plants here have massive leaves. So maybe I'll get enough dew from it.

And holy shit, there's so much dew on this plant's leaves right here. I've only searched for a few minutes and I've found the perfect plant.

The problem is that I need a way to store it. For now let's just drink straight from it.

*SLUUUUURP*

*SLUUUUUUURP*

Ah, that was satisfying. Thirst is gonna be easy to overcome in this land.

Eh? Why am I becoming sideways more and more?

*DROPS*
