Damien pushed the surfboard forward smoothly with both his soles, jumping off the last wave of the sea as he arrived on the small island. He gracefully tucked the surfboard under his left arm and took few steps forward. In his mouth was,
"What's this place?"
As his eyes scurried around. He couldn't get a clearer picture of what the island looked like. There was a huge mountain which filled that side of the island. There was about four feet space by the right of the mountain, the left had waves crashing against it.
Damien wouldn't be surprised if he found a school of fish on the shore. The aquatic business was really rich at that place.
He couldn't keep standing at where he was. He
strode in the direction of the mountain, off the wide back towards the open space to its right. He walked for a while before he would walk past it.
"Woah."
He exclaimed as his eyes travelled through the empty frozen space before him. He gulped for no reason. He didn't know why he wasn't getting a good vibe about this.
Obviously the system never told him to come here. The system never included it in its list of tasks. Damien had decided to visit out of curiosity.
"Ice and ice and Ice."
He began to walk even closer. From his position to the end of the space, was empty. It was just an empty vacant space covered in ice. Several distance ahead of him was the ocean.
"Would this place sustain life? Let's assume I want to make this place my temporary home because of hiding from the girls, would making fire be easy?"
Suddenly he remembered that he had a system. He didn't have to worry about little things like that. Those were the most basic of all tasks.
After he had walked to an extent, he was forced to turn to his left. His eyes widened at a a sudden discovery.
"A cave."
He was so excited. He forgot about the vast space and whatever which had occupied his mind earlier. He hurried towards the cave.
"A cave in a mountain."
He muttered as he entered into the cold and dark cave.
"Why does this place feel ominous? Or am I just too sensitive?"
He didn't have an answer to either of the questions. Probably, not yet.
Unlike when he was walking past the breadth of the mountain side with wild strides, he sauntered like a drunk fellow into the cave.
He was forced to stop at a place where he couldn't go any further in the cave. There were big rocks in the way. He turned slowly around tracing his vision across the place.
There wasn't really anything of striking interest in the cave. Just a cold, dark, and hard rock. From the looks of things, it seemed as though the mountain had never been visited or defiled.
His heart thumped in a fast pace in his chest.
"Does this make me the first person to visit this Mountain?"
Funny thing was that the jungle wits skill didn't tell him anything yet, but he was beginning to have strange ideas that seemed to need no further prove.
He didn't know what to attribute the feelings to. He didn't want to force his way around them.
"Being the first person to have sex on the cold earth of this cave would be the best experience ever."
He knew he was been naughty and unnecessarily funny, yet he couldn't help but nurse the thoughts.
He walked to where he could, and climbed on one of the rocks. Gaining a firm stance, he looked quickly around, to catch a better view. Then did he notice that there were other rocks placed higher.
He looked up at the highest rock. If he could get to the top, he would be able to see the nook and crannies of the super big cave.
He wasn't sure if it was necessary to do so. He didn't know why the jungle wits didn't tell him anything yet. Probably because doing this was not part of the system task?
He knew he should be in the woods of the big island, using the invisible skill that the trial mode had earned to finish making the clothes of the Cannibals, give them a civilization and unlock all the skills and earn half a million experience points!
"Whatever. What's the point of being on this island if I won't make the best of my time?!"
He scoffed as though he was having an argument with someone physical. Whereas he was busy battling with his alter ego.
He dumped the thoughts and started to climb from one rock to the other. It was very easy for him. He had obtained climbing skills at the beginning of his stay on the island.
He got to the top.
"Oh wow. What a feeling."
He exhaled deeply.
"Now this is what am I talking."
He chuckled wryly.
"It must be very interesting to be a god. Have a seat at a very high place and oversee things going under you."
A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. The smirk broke into a wild smile.
He looked across the cave. Suddenly, he noticed some group of red plants with yellow flowers. The flowers glowed, blinking occasionally.
"Oh, my God. This is so beautiful."
He gulped. He swiftly jumped from one rock to the other till he got to the nearest rock whose silhouette was shielding the school of plants.
He bent down slowly.
