The Dragon Soul Forging

5. The Cooking Skills I Have

“Lucky gas that I bought half a year ago is still left.” I roast the meat that I hunted with great pleasure.

The smell of burnt flesh made my stomach even hungrier. But I also worry if the monsters are attracted by the resulting smell.

Don't want uninvited guests to come to my house after smelling a good smell. I also lit the stove with a big fire so that the roast meat quickly cooked.

After cooking, I prepared to eat the roast as a dinner menu.

“Do you want?.” my word offers as a roast on guests.

Anjing itu terus mengawasi ketika aku memasak. Tapi begitu aku menawarkan hasil masakan yang sudah matang, anjing itu langsung kehilangan minat.

“What's wrong?.”

I was surprised to see that skinny dog would not eat my cooking. But I soon got an answer once I ate the roast I cooked.

Charcoal, I'm like eating wood charcoal instead of grilled meat.

The surface of the meat was charred while the inside was still raw. Very disgusting, maybe eating raw meat is much better than eating the dishes I made.

But because I did not want to throw away the food, I still ate it even though it was so bitter from the burnt part of the meat.

“But it tastes rather good in the middle.”

Something caught between the teeth, it was rabbit fur. Not knowing how to skin, I roasted rabbit meat and skin.

But of course I threw away the inside because I didn't want to eat the dirt.

Guilt haunted me when I saw that skinny dog lying on the living room couch.

I have to show manners as a homeowner, if there is a guest is not it natural to treat their dishes?.

Driven by guilt, I took out a knife and went out to hunt. I was lucky to get a rabbit and two big rats...

I wasn't sure if mice could be eaten, but after offering them to my guests, he unceremoniously ate all three of my hunts.

“Without condolence,” I can only smile bitterly at the black dog eating greedily. I should've just offered two mice, but whatever the power, it's all been going on.

Hero job levels go up while hunting, maybe that's the only good thing I get for feeding this dog.

After I finished feeding the guests, I realized that it was almost night. I felt uncomfortable, as if something was coming at night.

Is it possible that at night the monsters become more active?. I don't know, maybe it's better to avoid going out at night so that nothing troublesome happens .

Going to the well, I'm getting ready to take a shower. Since the hunt I just did made my clothes stained with blood, it should be washed immediately otherwise the bloodstains would be difficult to remove.

The dog came over while I was washing. Is after satisfied eating he also wants me to bathe his body?.

“Basan you just want to ask me to do whatever you want.” I grumble when brushing the dog's body. He looked happy when I bathed him.

A necklace tied around the neck, when I saw it I finally remembered the name of the dog.

“Roxy, so you're a woman?.”

The dog barked as if to agree with my words. I immediately asked him to be quiet as he did not want the commotion to attract the attention of monsters.

When night fell, it turned out that what I was really worried about happened. More monsters roamed around, even the corpses lying by the roadside began to rise.

They're like zombies.

Not wanting the monsters to know where we were, Roxy and I immediately got ready for bed.

There's nothing else I can do in the middle of this dead city.

But I might get bored. Do I need to go out to find survivors?

My sleep that night was uncomfortable because of the pain in the left eye that had been destroyed.

The pain I had felt since waking up in the Dungeon, the more days the pain got worse.

I was afraid that the wound in my left eye would cause an infection that might prove fatal later on.

“What should I do?.”

The pain in my eyes made me unable to sleep. But something touched the area around the left eye, it felt watery and cold, making the pain begin to subside until I finally fell asleep.

***

The next day, I see Roxy doing better. He is much more active than he was yesterday. It might only take two days for him to return to being the fierce Doberman dog he used to be.

Thinking about it makes me a little worried.

In the bathroom I looked in the mirror to see the condition of the left eyeball. It was crumbling and rotting, I felt goosebumps looking at it.

The cold morning made me feel calm. This time Roxy did not take a bath, maybe the two did not like to take a bath with cold water.

After I finished taking a shower, I started to work out the plan I was thinking about last night.

The first thing I want is to get food.

Aware I can't cook, so can't hope for monster yeast because it's not used to processing it.

Monster meat was only the last option. But it would be different if I could cook later, or someone came and cooked for me .

“Because of that, I think going to minimarket is the best option.”

Minimarket is the second place I often visit besides food stalls.

That place I always visit at least once a month to buy electricity Tokens as well as fill the snack supplies.

It is only two hundred meters from home, it will be very easy if you use a motorbike. But bad luck hit me with two flat motorcycle tires. It seemed like it was due to being bitten by a monster while in the Dungeon.

“What should I do now?.”

It's not like I can't get out of the house without a motorcycle. I was just worried about meeting a powerful monster on the road and not being able to escape.

But if I don't go to the minimarket, that means today I have to eat charcoal meat like yesterday.

Remembering what I ate yesterday actually made my face blacken. “No, I don't want to hold it anymore.”

I also had to walk to the minimarket. Roxy I'm with me, I don't know what she wants. Does the dog want to take care of me, or just because Roxy doesn't want to be alone.

Whatever the reason, I have no problem taking her as long as Roxy doesn't chase me with a crazy look like she always did in the past.

Big bag used when moving, I used to carry things. The only weapons I have are the kitchen knife and the rabbit ears I keep.

After preparing ourselves, we both came out of my house to start the journey to the minimarket.

“Isn't this enough affirming, Roxy?.”

The dog barked at my words.

“Hahaha.. You are quite excited as well apparently.”.

I ventured to stroke Roxy's head. The dog did not refuse.

“Alright, let's start adventuring.”
