Chapter 3 / wood
____________________________________________________
Some minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes, still squinting so it gets used to the outside.
Adjusting to the light he then peek at the timer.
{2:47}
"Hoooo..."
Exhaling, still feeling sluggish he gets up.
'That was a good nap although short, my mind is very clear and the recovery is good.'
'Let's stretch so the sleepiness goes out faster.'
Afterward, he stands up from the chair and started his exercises.
'Although I don't have any memory of 'my own workout' regime, I can still make my own trough some observations.'
Looking at the all information in his head, he starts with a light 'hand and shoulder' strength
After folding his right arm and getting it behind his head, with his left hand, he slowly pulled the right arm elbow to the side, after some more pulling, he did the opposite to his other arm.
After That, he did some more Stretching to his upper and lower body.
"Ugh..."
' Seriously, why is this body so unathletic? Was I a shut in or something? Haaa, l have to fix this problem.'
Thinking it was useless and pathetic, he postponed his workout plan for the future.
{1:39}
''...''
'Atleast I'm Completely awake now.'
Having nothing to do, he checks the status again.
'Looking at the menu, not all of it is needed to be shown all the time so let's make something more efficient and easier on the go with, like the Minecraft 'inventory' and...'

Seeing his new interface, he smiled to himself.

'So I can change it however I want, nice.'
'The menu itself is based on the Minecraft one but some of the places is still empty, like the armor and crafting setting which I think is going to be fixed by the system.'

'Oh, a tutorial? Interesting...'
"System, can you fix the interface now?"
[Currently no, but upon your 'landing' or complete transfer, all the things needed will eventually become whole again.]

Suddenly, a flash of light which the color or size was undescribable, with a weird tearing sound resonated and engulfed 'everything'...
....
***
Place 'unknown'
"......''
"...Damn, that was fast..."
Checking his surroundings, he was speechless.
Medium to tall, thick dark oak trees, with lush leaves, leaving almost no light through, making the grass and ground look dark.
"Well, there is no cube or pixel in sight..."
'Dark forest.'
"...this is not going very well."
'For my spawn point to be here of all places, hee... no need to be let down by it, but there is enough 'dark area' for hostile mobs to spawn everywhere, even at day time, and with my difficulty...'
*silence...*

"...never mind."
'Let's put the useless topic aside, because it's not like I'm going to 'die' but being carefree is bad too, so don't feel cocky'
*crunch*
He soon started walking, making the grass under his shoes make crisp, breaking sound.
After some more steps, he comes in front of a thinner tree from the rest.
"Time to test the features."
Making his right hand in to a fist and pulling it back, he punches the wood in front of him.
*crunch*

After some more time, he checks his knuckles and sees that it's bleeding but soon it begins to visibly get better until there's only dry blood left.

"...the healing process is the same but..."
'This is pathetic...'
'Is it because of the extreme difficulty? Or the mechanism is changed?'
'Let's figure this out.'
"Hmmmmm."
Seeing the vast amount of resources in sight, he begins to move around.
After searching...
In his hand is a sharp stone that he found with some other things.
But all of it disappeared in a second.
"Oh? So if i just put my intent to it, it works too?"
[+12 stick]
[+1 dark oak sapling]
[+1 Piece of rock](New!)
'This is new.'
"Let's see the inventory."
'Interface(I)>items'
A simple dark blue transparent window appeared, much like the Minecraft one like the crafting spot(2×2) but with more features.

•Very slow for cutting}
------------------------------------------------------
'...the axe is very primal-like but overall, it's going to get the job done...'
'Well, better than nothing.'
"Pew...hooo."
Getting back to the first tree, he positioned himself in a suitable posture for striking the tree and raised his hand up horizontally/diagonally.
Flexing him back, arm and shoulder muscles in the process, he hacked the part in front of him with all he got.
Bang!
[Ding!]
------------------------------------------------------
● Mastery:
○ Axe(New!) 0==>1!
○ None
------------------------------------------------------
"...?"
'It works like that? That's good to know but why does using an 'Axe' need mastery?'
"Heh."
Smiling, he was curious about a lot of things but he's confident that with enough patient, he can get his answers.
'...cracks and a cut, well the cut is new?.'
Looking at the tree again and seeing it, he tried again.
"Hup!"
Bang!
○ Axe 1==>2!
'So with every strike, my mastery only increase by one forever? I doubt that.'
The part that he targeted again is showing deeper cracks and the cut is automatically getting wider.
'...this is going to take awhile...'
Moments later...
BANG!
Crunch!Crunch!
Screeeeeeech!
Thud!!
Swinging his last strike and breaking the tree in the lower part, leaving the base, resulting in a harsh piercing cry, he breathed roughly.
"Huff...four more to go."
------------------------------------------------------
● Mastery:
○ Axe 10==13>!
------------------------------------------------------
'My guess was right. I can get more than one point in mastery but I need to figure out how...'
○ Durability: 16/20
'Looks like I have enough durability for more so let's make it fast.'
"But how do I get the wood?"
Getting close to it, a notification appeared.
{Dismantle?}
'...yes.'
{<1>Automatic}{<2>manual}
"I think manual is not efficient for now..."
<1>
Immediately, the fallen tree started to get smaller and get divided at the same time to the point where all of them look the same, and some of the leaves turned to sapling.
"..."
Crouching down And picking up the 'block' on the ground, he puts it in his inventory and sees that the other items are coming towards him so he intended to store all the incoming woods and saplings.

Huff*huff*huff*
'My body feels so fucking heavy!!'

'Finally finished...'
Checking his attributes, he stands up and sensing his new found physical condition, he felt like the progress is going smoothly.
'...but it's not good enough.'

'Now I need to find food.'
'But first I have to check the crafting table.'
*pop!*
upon placing the crafting table, a 1-cubic meter block-like bench work appeared out of thin air with all sorts of tools like some hand saw and hamer, on top of it a three by three(3×3) slot was shown.
{Saving . . . }
'Eh, so a 'Saving point', that's neat.'
"Anyway, access the 'crafting table'!"

'first, the Axe.'
Instantly, a 1~meter dark tone wooden Axe with sanded down handel, although not completely smooth and a very hard/dense head which was darker, one way sharp, one way flat apeard.
'So the type of wood can influence the appearance.'
'And...'

'Well it's weird to mine stone with 'wood' but who cares?'
Shrugging, thinking it was useless to figure out the logic behind it, he continued.
''Let's find food."
Scanning his surroundings, he begins searching.
Later...
'Look at what I found...'
Currently a bunch of 13~19cm dark brown-cream colored mushroom are resting under a fallen tree bark with a faint neon glow.
'I hopefully won't get poisoned...'
Reaching to pick it up, a notification appeared.
{This item need a suitable method to be <Dismantled>}
''..."
'Let's try with the knife.'
Selecting and Gripping the knife, he goes to cut the mushrooms until...
[Ding!]
{Manual activated!}
<( Showing instruction )>
Soon, a ring of white light appeared at a specific point in the base of the mushrooms.
'That's how? Pretty straightforward.'
After collecting the mushrooms...
[+4 glowing brown mushroom]
------------------------------------------------------
● Mastery:
○ Knife/Dagger(New!) 6==>8!
------------------------------------------------------
"Well, this is new too?...I don't care anymore."
'Can I make a fire now? Probably not...'
Putting the knife in his inventory, he tries to eat the mushroom.
'Please don't be poisonous...'
Munch...
The first bite made a crisp sound, along with it a earthy smell hit his nostrils making his expression harden slightly.
'...it taste like fish?'
Confused, he takes another bite.
'But it doesn't smell fishy at all, the odor is normal?'
'Oyster? Nevemind, I better finish it so I can find some more...'
Putting the whole mushroom in his mouth, he starts eating it while searching for any other food to eat...
