Matt stood and watched the river flow for a bit before he walked back into the forest, as he walked he looked up trying to spot some fruits hanging in the trees above, as well as that he was alert for the surrounding sounds, he could hear birds singing and animals letting out calls in the distance, the forest wasn’t quiet at all, then soon he spotted some fruit, however he had to climb a bit up a tree for them, Matt felt his rumbling stomach and eventually decided to climb the tree. The fruits tasted quite sweet, Matt ate a quite a few before he walked back to the river and decided to follow it down stream, a few days passed like this, other than being mauled by a large primate with 4 arms which smashed his body into mush, Matt was doing great, he lived off river water that had jet to give him any problems and eating fruits from the forest ‘Good thing there are fruits around… Or I would probably have starved to death…’ The night of the 4th day soon approached, Matt found a tree and

Matt waited for the next arrow for a few moments before a thought popped into his head‘Maybe this little one wasn’t meant for me..?’’Matt walked over and pulled the arrow out of the boulder before he inspected it, it was made entirely from metal but besides that there were no markings on it or anything else to identify it, Matt shrugged before he looked into the forest, then he sighed and decided to give it a go“I wonder how they will react once a naked person comes running out from the forest with their arrow..?”Matt was of course wearing clothes when he arrived in this world, though it didn’t last long and was soon torn to shreds, so he was, as he said: Butt nakedMatt kicked off the ground and leaped onto a branch before he kicked off it and jumped to the next one, he moved in the direction where the arrow had come from for about a minute before he heard the sounds of metal meeting metal, the sound of battle, and soon the people fighting came into view, it was a particularly na

Matt’s smile widened slightly before he nodded, then he spoke“Great, looking forward to working with you, Felicia…”Felicia nodded before she swung her long spear over her shoulders and walked over to Matt, when she reached him she clapped him on the shoulder and asked“Could you take me and a small group to where you killed the metal panther?”Matt nodded before he added“As long as I approve of the members of this small group, some of your people don’t look to take kindly to my presence”Felicia nodded before she showed a thin smile and turned her head to the side and called out“Jo, Bella, Ike! Get your tools, we have ourselves a free dinner to partake in!”3 people quickly grabbed their weapons from the camp before they jogged over to Matt and Felicia, Matt glanced at them, 2 were women and one was a man, they all seemed older than the other bunch. Matt didn’t detect any killing intent from them so he turned around and walked into the forest, when they were a little away from the

Matt watched the show with an interested look on his face, the fact that the nun from the Right’s temple had stabbed a fellow member of their own temple seemed to carry a whole lot more weight that the actual stab, it seemed to be an expulsion from the temple, and a rather nasty one at that, if the recruits face was anything to go by, that is… But the nun was clearly not done yet and spoke“As for the rest of you—”Felicia hurriedly spoke up“I think an example has been made, as for the others, what do you say we leave their punishment till we return safely?”Felicia spoke to both the nun and Matt, Matt waited a bit, clearly thinking it over before he appeared to reluctantly agree“Alright, fine…”Felicia appeared clearly relieved and let out a sigh before she looked sternly at the other recruits that had attempted to seal Matt’s kills before she spoke“Alright, back to camp! We need to pack up and be out of here by midday!”Matt quickly called out to Felicia“Felicia, mind if I borro

Matt wasted no time or coin, he went and accepted the request to guard the merchant caravan, then he went out and brought some basic supplies and a proper backpack along with a few coils of robe, oh and a woven cloth shirt too, all this set him back about 1 and a half gold coin, leaving him with 22 gold coins all before he met with the people from the merchant caravan, they had been caring ingots and salt to Tevil and were now bringing monster loot and cores back towards the capital and the mountain forges in the west, speaking of Tevil from what Matt learned it was located on the eastern frontier of the republic of Kel.Matt met up with the merchant caravan, he recognized some adventures in the caravan from last night of drinking, and they naturally recognized him and greeted him warmly, one of them called out when he saw Matt“Hey it’s Matt!”Matt showed a smile and greeted the man back“Hey Seb”The bear of a man was named Sebastian, though he was Seb to his friends and after a nig
