I was standing upon the hole full of excrement, which took me about half an hour to find. I knelt and put the hand above the surface. I somehow channeled mana to it.

[Extract: KNO3]

After a while, the white powder started to appear nearby my hand, levitating in the air. Weird, but weirder was the sensation of weight of the powder. I checked my mana. 200/195 after five seconds. And how much did I get? 45g according to Inventory . Ok this will do. This hole could be about 1m³=1000 liters, so I guess at least a kilogram.

I kept extracting until my mana level hit the 5% level, the danger zone. Even then felt I little nauseous, so I ate that plain tasting fruit, which could actually boost my mana restoration by 1000% so after a few minutes, which I spent by retieing the scarf that covered my nose from that foul stench, I was working again.

In the end, I was able to haul 850g of potassium nitrate (KNO3), 1456g of sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and astonishing 3kg of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3).

[This is good, but this hole must hold even more of useful stuff. But which one? When I think about it more, there could surely be some urea which is CO(NH2)2 if I remember correctly]

Urea is usually used as a fertilizer, but terrorist used urea nitrates as a relatively cheap and powerful explosive. And in this screwed magic world, everything that can make BOOM could be surely useful.

[Extract: Urea]

I extracted and extracted, but the amount I got wasn't the best, about 800g. In nature, urea is always decomposed by many various bacteria, so the gain wasn't big.

[And now how to make nitric acid?

The industrial method is way too hard to achieve in my conditions, so, I can only use laboratory method, which is substitution of nitrates by sulfuric acid.

But I don't also have the sulfuric acid, so what next. I think the hydrochloric acid shall make the trick, though I dunno where to get it... Just, wait a minute. Isn't HCl one of stomach fluids? Yes! It is! Which means....]

"Nooooo, Fuck!! Again!!"

For a while was I extracting HCl from the bodies of fallen goblins on the square, I also decided, that in a body there are more useful compounds than HCl. For example, a simple salt. Yes where in the damned forest you want to get a salt? Nowhere. But an adult human, let's say 75kg have about 300g of salt. And one goblin's got 200g. Interesting, isn't it?

Next, urea. I got aprox. 40g from one body. Acetaldehyde 5g per body. Magnesium 7g per body and so on.

When I exhausted my resources on the square, not gladly, but still, I went back to cave and the hauling continued.

I even headed back to the treasure room because if I remember correctly, there was a limestone, necessity for making a lime. I surely wouldn't extract it, it would kill me. I rather used Shapeshifting and just dig it out. The amount of limestone was tremendous. Whole half ton. The limestone was mainly white, which means relatively pure, however there and there were some reddish spots, oxides of iron. So let's purge it.

[Extract:Fe2O3, FeCO3, FeO]

The most of the impurities was siderite (FeCO3), this one could be used to making some katalyzators, so I kept it.

[Ok, now I have everything. The production could start]

Firstly, I needed the suitable reaction vessel. I used some quartz and shaped it with Shapeshifting into a flask. Then covered it by tar mixed with coal. The whole flask was put in the water. I poured inside the HCl. Advantage of extract skill is ability to dehydrate things, so the HCl I poured was about 96%. I waited for the whole flask to cool down, and then put inside several grams of NaNO3. Normally, this won't work, because side reactions would occur and I would get only nitric oxides, so I had to simultaneously Extract NaCl with HNO3.

*tssss

The mixture fizzled and hissed, as the Extract didn't catch everything, but the gain was Ok, approximately 60-70% effectivity. I repeated this process several times, when I decided to purge the HCl. To purge it I tried to Extract almost every single substance made from nitrogen, sodium, hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine I knew. And then again put some sodium nitrate and extract then purge and extract and so on.

In the end, I spent all the NaNO3 I had and got promising 1,3 liters of HNO3. I would rather stop at this point and spare my other nitrates for later.

[HMM, what should I use it for? Explosives? Rather, not, these aren't very useful. Hmmm, yes, my amount of ammo isn't pretty good. But producing ammo is fucking difficult, really challenging. To do this, I will need some base,....., but actually, this den isn't so bad, if I tidy up, rebuild it and repair it, I shall be able to make some nice manufacturing devices.]

"Hah, this was a long day" I said myself, nostalgicaly looking at the sunset. It reminded me my home. Earth. "Ah, I'd like to fuck earthian girl again. Whatever, sun is already setting. Better to go to sleep."

Next morning

I wake up rather early. Usually, I sleep till ten AM, but that day, I woke up at 8:34.

"So so so, what to do list. Hmm, firstly, I have to get rid of these bodies in my Inv. Then should I start with building. Ok, all these bullshits on the square must go to hell. Then the cave.."

*ROOAARRR

"Excuse me, what the fuck?!"

I rashly got myself to the gate, only to see two fucking bitches coming uphill.

"Hah, this world really doesn't know boredom, does it?"

There were two big lizards, seemingly reminding Commodo Varans, just in the size of smaller lion.

"Just normal Varans are scary, so tell me what the heck is this. What did I to whom to deserve this!! God!!"

For first several minutes, I hesitated what to do. But when were those creatures so close, that I saw their fangs, I heroically ran into the watchtower. The Varans spotted me, came to the tower base and using their bodies, they started to shut it down.

My first idea was to drop a grenade, but this would destroy the log. Second idea was to drop molotov, but again, not the best idea. So I simply dropped the fucking big meteorite from the cave.

*Dushhh

First Varan ended as a meat pancake.

When the second one saw it, he done something, I would never believe that is possible. He started to climb. My face was instantly about three shades paler.

I grabbed my crossbow and send him two bolts, which stabbed themselves in its body and just made it angrier.

I was running out of options and the Varans breath was already on my back.

The only thing which remained was the palisade.

"Hey my Luck stat, save me" were my last words before the jump.

I somehow managed to hold myself on the palisade. And just at the moment I thought I won, that bastard jumped too.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, YO DAMNED FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!?!? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE, GET LOST, DIE, SCREW YOURSELF, ANYTHING!!!"

I screamed half angrily, half terrified.

When the Varan jumped on the palisade, it didn't hold itself, and fell down. However, because of it, the palisade shook so much, that I fell too.

The fall took away piece of my pride, though I was okay. Naturally, facing the Varan, I started to run. The problem was, that these lizards are fucking good runners.

I equipped pike, made pivot and jabbed it. The Varan knew I was helpless, it tore my pike from my hands and slammed me into the corner. Then it opened its mouth and stared to scream dominantly. It screamed and screamed, happily for its new prey.

As it screamed, it somehow stopped to amuse me, so I casually picked grenade, pulled the pin and tossed it into the Varans' big opened mouth.

For first second, it gave a confused look. Then surprised look as I lied down. And then.. *BOOOM.

Blood, bones, guts, everything splattered around making pretty disgusting view. Just because of my Luck stat, nothing covered me.

"Argh, that's gross. Fuck, why I have the feeling everything in this fucked up world is just making fun of me?"

Really, I am a lazy person, and this world is still trying to kill me, and whats even worse, in the way it pisses me off the most, because I must work on my survival.

[Shit, what a mess. And just when I was talking about tidying up].

"Fuck this world!!"
