The man walked barefoot through the green vegetation, everything around him was a wilderness untouched by any civilisation.

Because of his innate cautious the man only walked next to a shallow river with few trees and clear view of his surroundings.

Multiple birds flew and moved in between trees and the river.Full novel: Seeking oneself (first version) — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

The man looked with curiosity at the strange creatures creatures with weird hairs on their arms.

At every moment the man saw new interesting things and his mind felt greatly stimulated.

However a hunger and dryness lingererd below his lungs and in his throat respectively.

And no matter how much the man try breathing it simply had no effect over this new feeling.

Just then a thought entered the man head.

During his walked in the forest the man previously saw birds put water from the river into their mouth which gave him a idea.

The man moved towards the shallow river and like a bird he plunged his head into the water before trying to breath in the water.

This obviously resulted in immediately choking which caused the man a great deal of pain.

However after the experience the man noticed something, the water in the river and the water in his mouth that he subconsciously swallow felt the same.

So the determined man tried again cautiously this time lowering his lips onto the rivers before he submerged his head in the water because he didn’t know how to suck.

Soon after swallowing the liquid the feeling of dryness disappeared but the hunger remained.

Just as the man sat with confusion unsure as to what course of action he should fellow next he felt his senses yelling at him to move.

Following his instinct which he still wasn’t used to having the man dodge the bite of a green snake which at some unknown time appeared near him in the river.

The main panic unsure of what was happening when the snake lunged towards him with it maw wide open.

The man immediately used his hands to firmly grabbed the snake long body with both hands before it could bit him.

The snake thrashed around in the man arms.

However every time the snake tried to bite the man arm he would use his other hand to smack and pull the snake around.

Eventually out of panic and fear the man grabbed the snake closed behind it’s head and used his other hand to grab it tail before he hardly bit down on the snake body tearing it in half.

The strange test of metallic blood being the first taste that the man has tasted together with the thin uncooked snake meat were certainly a memorable experience to the man.

Seconds after the snake was bit in half it stopped moving and the man cautiously released it.

The two parts of the snake fell down to the shallow river staining the clean water red.

At this moment only two thoughts appeared in the man head.

‘Why did it stopped moving’.

‘Does it not have enough energy’.

Extreme confusion appeared in the man head as he discovered death and the reality of eat or be eaten of the [Land].
