"WAHHOOO THE STONE BROKE"

"Kukuku I do kinda feel like breaking out like that, I know someone like Taiju would do it that way."

"what's important right now is preserving the scene it could contain clues to my body's petrification" Senku slowly stands up making sure to collect all the pieces of the stone that had previously encapsulated his body, taking notes on the placement of his body and his surroundings. He stands up to leave the mouth of the cave but stops when he sees a petrified body laying a few meters away from where he had been, the smallest gasp left his lips before he walked up to inspect the statue, it was her.

While trapped in stone Senku had dedicated his time to counting the seconds, the task was annoying enough to die but was necessary, otherwise he would have no idea how much time had passed. "From the time I had been turned to stone it has been 117,254,893,870 seconds" he walked to the cave wall and right beside y/n he wrote his calculations it had been 3718 years since everyone had been petrified, meaning the year was 5738 April 1st. With that out of the way, he turned to y/n. He brought a shaky hand to her face terrified that she would crumble under his hand, while he studied her face, the first face he'd seen in over 3000 years his thoughts where cut off when he heard a noise...

*Drip* Drip* Drip*

Senku looked over towards the spot his body had previously been when he was still encased in stone to see that a yellowish liquid was dropping from a stalactite on the ceiling. He recognised it instantly...

"Nitric acid" he thought, "This must have eroded the stone around me."

Senku pulled a piece of hair that was still covered in stone from the back of his head and placed it under the spot the nitric acid was dropping, with a small splash the nitric acid eroded the rock releasing the hair. Looking back at y/n he saw there was a small stalactite under her too releasing small drops of nitric acid but at a much slower pace than the giant one in the middle of the room. He moved her to the middle of the cave and smiled, the thought of y/n waking up soon made him incredibly happy but he had a lot of work to do before she woke up.

Senku did not care much about clothing and the taboos from the past world "this is a stone world with one person on it who cares if you walk around butt naked or with your dick hanging out." but knowing y/n this would cause a problem, and he had to admit that clothing would be helpful to protect their bodies knowing that infection or illness would mean game over. He grabbed some long vines and tied them around himself this would work for now but what would be really helpful would be some animal skins.

In order to survive Senku knew he would need to make a fire, get food, and clothing, scientifically he knew how to get all of those but he first needed to make a couple of tools that would help him out.

A couple of monkeys watched in horror as a smooth and shiny monkey they had never seen before smashed some stones together creating a pointy edge.

"Different types of rocks have different uses, the colourful rock known as chert is hard as hell witch makes it perfect for making a small knife out of."

Using his newfound tools to cut more vines down, he created string and from that, he created rope, the creation of rope was going to help him to check off all three things on his list. Tying the rope he made around a stick he had now created a contraption that would help him make fire. Placing another stick gentilly looped around the rope Senku placed a piece of wood on the ground and a rock on top of the stick, this allowed him to twist the stick at much faster speeds than he could on his own and would require much less work. Within a few minutes, he had a small fire.

Fire Acquired!

With fire he was able to cook any food he found, the next problem was getting the food. Senku is an incredibly gifted boy in the science department but when it comes to anything strength or speed related he falls incredibly short. Even with the advantage of deer not being afraid of him allowing him to get close he still was unsuccessful in killing anything. Returning to his fire he grabbed the extra rope he had and made a snare. Senku placed the snare in a bush near a spot he saw the deer before and left for a while to work on other projects. When he returned to his spot he could not hold in his loud screams of excitement, with his signature evil grin he looked up to see he had caught his first deer all with the help of science.

Food Acquired!

After filling himself up with food he took the deer and stripped the hide cutting it up with his knife and tying everything together with the rope he had just enough to make clothes for the both of you along with a pair of shoes, they where by no means fashionable or well put together but they would be good enough for life in this stone world.

Clothing acquired!

Now he was prepared for when y/n woke up.

While he waited for his snare to trap a deer Senku had made use of his time by making a small lean-to. Absolutely worn out from all he had done that day Senku made his way towards the small camp he'd set up.

"God... damn... it... just surviving as a lone human has taken everything out of me."

And with that Senku fell asleep after ignoring how tired he was all day he had reached his limit and could not stay awake any longer.

Sorry that this chapter was mostly about Senku with very little interaction with the reader but I promise there will be lots more Reader x Senku in the next chapter.
