Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 42

The world around Jyuuk slowly changed with every time his eyes blinked. First, everyone in the room was gone, then trees began to grow around him, and different plants began sprouting up to his knees while the white marble room disappeared.

Jyuuk's monkey tail swung side to side, and the unknown sensations as it touched the grass and flowers made him shudder slightly. But he was excited. Jyuuk would be able to travel this new world and find animals that he himself never could have dreamt of, amongst those which he had always hoped to exist in the real world.

But first, he would need to try and figure out some of the game mechanics. It seemed like Prime Industries tried to keep everything as realistic as possible, so most mechanics would probably be quite realistic.

Of course, there would also be less realistic mechanics, including classic game mechanics like a Status. Apparently, there wasn't an inventory, but Jyuuk was sure there were ways to get around that.

For now, he did the thing that was explained to him before and thought about opening his status.

The Monkey Beastperson looked at the information in front of him and nodded in response. It seemed like they went with a relatively classic stat point system. Jyuuk nodded and grabbed the object that he felt in his pocket, a small leather book.

He opened it up and read through the basic information about the area he was in. It seemed like a few minutes further south, there was going to be a village that would act as a good starting point in his adventure.

Excited by his new, unknown surroundings, Jyuuk stepped through the bushes and the tall trees that seemed to come from a tropic environment.

While he was walking, he could already hear the immense diversity in fauna. There seemed to be a dozen different birds in his close vicinity, and in the distance, Jyuuk could hear the cries of some wildcat. It was similar to that of a Tiger, but at the same time had characteristics belonging to a smaller animal. The cry definitely didn't belong to that of a cub, though, but to an adult specimen.

This cry alone made Jyuuk hesitate to go to the town and instead want to run to the source of the sound to figure out what kind of animal it was. But he knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything like this, and would need to find out basic information about how things worked in the area before doing anything else.

It was also a bad idea to walk around outside a town without any way to defend himself.

Jyuuk continued walking for around half an hour until he began to hear the sounds of a bustling town. Through the thick foliage, he began to see what seemed to be other people walking around, which made him speed up to run there excitedly.

Soon enough, he was faced with a thick wall made of trees and other plants that were grown into each other, but the thing that he noticed first was the enormous tree that was growing in the center of the town, reaching high into the sky. Its trunk was big enough that there were houses built against its bark and on its branches.

This sight alone was one that made Jyuuk extremely excited and filled him with joy.

Just thinking about all the animals and plants that he could discover made Jyuuk's heart nearly skip a beat.
