Chapter 7: Rat Hole Siege

Lake would fall to his knees if it wasn't for the fact he didn't want to. It would just make this moment more dramatic and his pants dirty. But that didn't make this moment any less soul crushing. Ever since Lake had gotten here he had a nagging fear that something about this world disagreed with him on a fundamental level and here it was no birds. Not losing hope completely, Lake threw out a probing question. " Feathers?" If the dragons had feathers Lake would take it at this point. Comprehension dawned on Sam's face as he said " Oh, you mean wyverns, But those don't eat corn."

At least there was something with feathers in this world. Getting back to what he was actually doing, Lake started looking through all the old tools And was happy to find that some of them were actually metal; he had been worried there would only be wood and stone. Lake settled on a 5 foot long metal shovel. He chose it because the tip was pretty pointy and he felt if he sharpened it and shortened the handle some, he would be left with a wide dagger.

Happy with his choice, Lake told Sam he was about to go see if he could find what was left of his shirt and pants in the field. Sam was confused why he would do that but let him go because Lake said he would be back.

" It's nice to be back outdoors." After being stuck in an office environment it was always nice to go on a walk, or if you were feeling a little naughty a hike. Back on earth Lake always considered himself to be an outdoors kind of person and would take a 5 minute walk almost everyday as long as the weather was nice. Reaching the place where he had fought the original rat. " I guess criminals do always return to the scene of the crime."

Lake inspected his work and thought to himself if he was able to do this much damage with his foot just think what his shovel could do. He now had nothing to worry about from rats, so he just had to find some. Lake just started wandering in and out of the corn randomly hoping to hear something after a while Lake realized how unlucky he had been originally. " Maybe it had something to do with the sun just coming up, maybe rats are nocturnal."

Lake wasn't sure how long the days were here, but assuming it was the same. Lake had maybe 7 hours till the sun went down. "This sucks, I was excited to fight." Lake could not wait to test his shovel which confused him because on earth he never had the bloodlust. "Maybe Exp is addictive." Throughout the day Lake had thought back to killing the rat around 100 times and it was mainly the part where he killed the rat and gained Exp. " If that's true this world must be filled with bloodthirsty people."

Getting back on the path, Lake just started walking away from town. He had 7 hours so he might find something. But after an hour of corn he felt he had made a mistake but he pushed through the pain. After another hour Lake finally heard something, "Finally, ready yourself rat."
