"Ugh, why is it so noisy". Archer nutters as his began to regain consciousness. With pain throbbing in his head he tried to recall his last memory.
"Right. That bastard with the club!"
He cracked his eyes open and was met with the flickering orange light of a campfire and shadows dancing around it.
There was a scent in the air that was unmistakably the Strong scent of meat being roasted.
"What the hell?" He said as he tried to move and realised that he was tied up tight with vines, leaning against the cold damp walls of what appeared to be a very small cave.
And right outside of the cave was the cave-people, dancing around a flickering campfire.
Archer's gaze darted across the ground until it found the three familiar people. The three people from earlier. The two men sat by each other, one had a huge frilly afro and the other wore some animal's skull as a helmet while clinging onto a bone club. This was the bastard that had knocked him out.
Then there she was, the sexy Cave-woman.
She sat with her back facing him, and she she stood up to bend down and grab a piece of meat, it gave archer the perfect view of a round butt.
But before he could get an erection from the fantasies that was going wild in his mind. The mechanic ring of the system rang in his head.
Ding!
[Main Quest Completed: You have survived 12 hours]
[Reward Obtained: Newbie survival package, +3 stat points]
Archer's eyes winded as the realisation of him being unconscious for 12 hours dawned on him.
"Well, fuck" he breathed as a grin spread across his face, despite the situation he was in.
[Do you wish to open Newbie survival package?]
"Fuck yeah, Opet it!"
[You have learned skills: Linguistic expert and Mini-map]
[You have obtained item: Mountain splitting Axe]
[Mountain splitting Axe has been placed in your inventory]
[You have Earned the knowledge: Wild Survival]
Information about survival flooded into archer's mind. A stream of Knowledge about a flowers, herbs, animals, weather, land placement, constellation arrangements. Etc
Centuries of accumulated human wisdom compressed into seconds and poured into his little skull.
The pain was so excruciating that it caused archer it bite down on his tongue to keep himself from screaming.
Then the pain stopped.
He gasped as he took a glance at the cave-people and noticed the change.
Their talking which seemed like meaningless gibberish was now morphing into a language he could understand.
"Krah Tuk Vuh, Lah tuk vuh.....meat taste good, yummy!" One of the smaller Cave-women yelled as she waved a half eaten rabbit's rib bone in the air.
"You eat too much. Leave some for big warrior" the man with the skull helmet grumbled.
"When do we eat small man?" Someone else asked, pointing in archer's direction.
"Fucking hell? Cannibals?" Archer thought restlessly.
He studied them some more and came to a conclusion.
He had someone tranversed worlds like an anime character and This was a primitive world. Civilisation had yet to be born. Everything was still at the stone age. These cave-people were basically living at the dawn of humanity.
Then everything clicked.
"So the system's motive is to keep me alive and help me build civilization, huh?" He chuckled under his breath. " This is basically a free strategic survival game! Is it going to make me Emperor of humanity? Or even a God!?"
Then he paused as an idea struck him. "Actually... God might work"
But first, he needed to get untied from this vines.
"Distribute the free stat points, put all in strength..." He whispered to the system.
[Strength has been increased to 6]
Power surged through his body as his muscles twitched and swelled slightly.
Then he drew out the mountain splitting Axe from his inventory.
It wasn't of the stone age, it was a finely tuned masterpiece that even looked like is transcended craftsmanship of the modern age. It looked alien, No...Magical.
Then archer flexed his muscles and broke free from the vines restraint.
"Whoa" he gasped, staring at his bulked up biceps. "I feel so strong, and this is just plus-3 in strength? Sick"
He proceed to get up on his feet, brandishing his axe in one hand.
Then the cave-people noticed immediately.
Their chattering stopped as they each turned their head to meet his gaze.
"CAPTURE HIM!" the cave-man with the skull helmet sprang to his feet, his bone club raised, ever ready to knock archer out again. "DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!"
"KILL HIM NOW! EAT HIM NOW!" Another roared, this one was slightly smaller than stone helmet but was still bigger than archer. He had a large afro that cover his eyes.
"SMALL MAN!" skull helmet shouted. "YOU CAN'T ESCAPE"
But Archer didn't flinch, infact he smiled as he stood his ground.
He had formed a plan in his mind. It was a crazy, completely insane plan. But it was so crazy that it just might work.
"Heh~" archer said with a cocky tone."you bunch of monkeys"
The cave-people paused at their steps, confused by his tone.
"How dare you disrespect your God"
"What is God?" Skull helmet asked in confusion as he paused mid-charge. "It taste good?".
Looking at him, Archer thought to himself that based on skull helmet's position within the group, the way the others yielded command to him, he had to be important. maybe their leader? But regardless, it was obvious this was the man he had to defeat.
"I came down from the heavens to Lead you people to glory!" Archer declared as he pointed his Axe towards skull helmet's chest. "And you dare to disrespect me? I shall punish you!"
At this moment, a silence dawned, for a brieft moment.
Then skull helmet let our a loud deep thunderous laugh that shock the small cave.
"Waha!" He yelled, as he lunged forward towards archer. Swinging his bone club in a devastating arc that armed to crush his skull.
Ding!
