Survival Records of 3650 Days in the Otherworld

Chapter 33: Hunting novice

A cigarette was quietly lit up. Joonbum's hand started to shake as he started relaxing from his nervousness.

"Beer is best when it's cold," Doral said from the tree across, drinking his beer. He was calm.

'I guess he's used to this,' he thought as he looked at his shaking hands. The shock he felt from hunting was now coming to him. His body grew cold.

"Drink!"

"Huh?"

"This was your first hunt. All Ainos people are like you on their first hunt. You don't know when you are busy fighting, but you get tired or throw up when you're done. You need to drink when that happens. Oh, this beer is mine though. Haha."

Doral took out a small drinking bag filled with alcohol and handed it over to Joonbum while he took out a beer for himself.

'He wants me to drink it.'

He opened the cork, smelled it, and gulped it down.

"Ugh!"

It was very strong, which was unexpected from its sweet fruity scent. Joonbum coughed while Doral cackled at him.

"This is strong."

"Yes, it is. It helps you stay still until morning without any worries."

Joonbum started drinking again at his words. He kept gulping it down. After the first gulp, the second was easier.

"This is good."

"Yes. You will have a headache tomorrow though."

"Really?"

Doral nodded. Joonbum was already dozing off as he drank it for the last time and fell asleep. Doral snatched the bag before it dropped to the ground and grinned.

"Sleep well, friend!"

"Did he fall asleep?"

"Yes, sir."

Doral nodded as Howen arrived, moving through the trees. Howen watched Joonbum with a troubled look on his face for a while and spoke out.

"Is that the weapon?"

"Yes, sir. It's called RIFLE."

"It let out a terrible sound."

"It's really powerful when shot in close range. It loses power when its shot from far away. It's hard to aim and it can't be aimed precisely at one spot. It can be shot six times and it has to be reloaded with something called BULLETS. It takes some time to do that too. There are pros and cons compared to the bows."

"Hmm."

"What's most scary about this weapon is that you don't need much training. Only a week of training would suffice, he said."

Doral continued after he caught his breath for a moment.

"It's a very powerful weapon, but there's nothing like it here. Only Joonbum has it and there's no one who can use or make these weapons."

Howen nodded at his words.

"Is he from the other world?"

"Yes. He comes here every two days, moving through the dimensional twist," Doral answered as Howen watched Joonbum.

"It's amazing that they can just move through that twist without any problems."

Doral nodded at his words as he understood what he meant. The dimensional twist was a phenomenon that happened every ten years. There were many animals or humans that moved through the twist, but they did not stay alive for long.
