And with that I head out of the cave only to see that it is only a small part of a much larger cave system. I decide to sneak around so that a monster doesn't surprise me while I’m hunting for food.

I ignore the system message and continue looking for food and level up observe while I’m at it. After about an hour I have passed several monsters all of which have either been too high level for me or looked unappetizing.

'I am really going to have to over my status after this'
As I take all the pieces into a cave which, as luck would have it, had wood for a fire and a good strong stick that I could rotisserie the orc on. The only problem is not having anything to start a fire with, so I try one of the methods the monks tried to teach me when I was younger. after about an hour I realize that this isn't getting me any ware so I start to get angry and I imagine the wood just spontaneously combusting. Which, to my surprise, it did.
Magic skill obtained: campfire
I just stare at the fire for a couple seconds before starting to rotisserie the orc. After a little bit it starts smelling amazing, that is when I realize the smell might attract hungry monsters so I went on guard a bit but didn't stop cooking because I was starving.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
