When I woke up, I didn't get up at first, instead, I started moving my legs slowly. Joints were screaming in pain. I really needed a bed or a heal from the device. But would it really work? - I thought. Yesterday's events made reconsider many things. Maybe this place, just as Will said, was a God's punishnt.
I rolled to the side and pushed myself up, on all fours. From that position, I sat on the ground, and a mont later got on my feet. I had to hunt, and try healing. I couldn't take it anymore ntally. Every single fucking day in pain. To the point, you have to force yourself to even get up.
I pushed negative thoughts to the side, telling myself to man up, and went outside. Took a longer route to the city center. Hunters already left, leaving behind injured, and weak. Will was nowhere to be seen. Aisha also, and her crew. They probably went short on crystals after yesterday's useless shopping for upgrades. Most of the people did.
I wanted to buy food but had to wait because few guys tried experinting with the device. In the end, I had to tell them a few harsh words to make them move. It ended with an argunt, but at least I got so at, a few carrots, and a bowl of water which tasted a bit salty from the seasoning I used for at. Another 12 points down, but at least got my stomach sowhat full.
I couldn't look at other people, the re sight of their faces would make angry. So I went back to the hideout, taking the long route. A few minutes later the guys I argued with before, ca out from behind so buildings, and blocked my path. Our business wasn't finished. I got my ass kicked. Not gonna write much more about it, cause even now it makes a bit angry. They just had to show how wrong I was, and they did.
Maybe I also should ntion their nas. I didn't know them by then and only found out soti later, but I think you, as a reader, should know. They weren't by any ans strong-looking. Just your average Joes. Still, a little bit higher than , wounded, as anyone by then.
The leader of the group was Ignacio, but they were calling him Nacho. I guess for short, or because it sounded cooler. I have no idea how he got his position since none of his features were shining over the other mbers. There was also Pierre. Very tough guy. I guess he had it hard in his life. Then there was Maurício, Antonio, and Luca. They probably got together because it was easier for them to communicate in Spanish, than in English.
After they left , I took an even longer walk with a single rest worth a couple of minutes. Maybe even an hour. I was sitting on the cobblestone, by so half-collapsed house, and spitting blood. It made think how much on edge all of us were. Those who couldn't hunt were unable to vent on goblins. Their situation was probably even worse than mine.
While sitting, I made the decision to go hunting the next day. I kept telling myself that either I'm gonna break, or get better. Prolonging this whole situation anymore was just simply stupid. So I got up, and taking double asures, went to the hideout to pick up my shield. It needed so repairs, so I took it back to the device, and started working on it.
Guys from before were keeping an eye on , but I was doing the sa with them. I didn't want to fight, though. Just took so asures to not get ambushed again. Fixing the shield costed 14 points. Had to buy so leather straps to tie the wood pieces. When everything was done and looked pretty decently, I also bought a nice piece of oak branch, that could work as a mace. It was 9 points.
That day I decided to stay with everybody for the night. For two reasons actually. First, I didn't want to get the shit kicked out of by those morons who kept watch over . Second, I wanted to get up with the rest of the hunters, to have so chance of finding goblins.
That's how the day ended. With sleeping in a sitting position close to the ever-burning bonfire. Oh, and my points.. Still had 531.
