I posted this on the discussion board of Unreal Worlds. The story of an idiot. (First 12 hours of playing). Unreal Worlds is a roguelike survival game based on Finland in medieval times.
I was left outside of a village. Full of tents and random people doing their own thing. I talked to a few and got to know their names and asked most of them to trade. However, they keep telling me whatever I pick up I can trade. I only found stakes and thin tree logs and nothing of interest. It wasn't till much later I knew how to enter the tents and find the good stuff.
I left the village and built a shelter on the other side of the lake. I really enjoyed fishing there. I was good at it and seem to catch enough to keep me feed well. It was also good that I know the best way of cooking fish.
After a few days and many fish later I decided to do a ritual and go track some game. I don't know if the Gods were listening or I was extremely lucky because as soon as I went on the hunt I found a herd of stag which I managed to get only a few feet from. I created a few javelins as well as a spear which I didn't need as the first throw was true and killed him instantly. Little did I know that would never be that easy again.
I skinned my trophy and managed to bring back over hundred pieces of meat which I quickly roasted it all. I can still remember how delicious it was. So much better than fish. Since I carried it everywhere with me I found cutting and moving logs and wood to be difficult and the meat slowed me down but I wanted to keep it with me so I could eat every time I felt peckish.
After a while though. I don't remember how long it was all my meat went off. But that didn't stop me. I kept eating it and I kept throwing it up but I kept eating it. I didn't want to waste my meat. After all it was a whole stag and that stag was huge. There didn't seem to be long term effects so I never wasted food.
I wanted an axe and a bow and went into a village and found what I wanted. The villagers weren't happy with my rotten food. Even the delicious fish wasn't enough. They wanted my clothes and my fine knife which I refused to give them. So, I decided to walk out with it. I heard them yelling saying I must pay for them and so I bolted. I kept looking behind me and maybe I shouldn't have and they stopped me. I said I'm not paying and they called me a thief and suddenly there was a sharp pain in my stomach. I blacked out. I woke up in a random place and I checked my belongings. All my stuff was there. They just took what was theirs. I walked a few minutes still feeling the pain and found the same village. I guess they were still ♥♥♥♥♥♥ at me since they yelled at me calling me a thief still and again ANOTHER sharp pain in the stomach and I once again blacked out.
Waking up again with two stab wounds to my stomach I decided to eat and finish eating my rotten meat. Maybe it has healing properties? I found another village and found the village Shaman. He says he will help treat my wounds. I agreed hoping he doesn't want anything in return as all I had was small amount of roasted fish.
I think he was a phoney. It didn't seem to be healed. I still have two holes in my abdomen but he did teach me how to chant and dance which I have tried a few times but I felt like an idiot. I'm not sure if it worked so I only do it occasionally.
After traveling some time I realised I could make bandages. By jolly I'm an idiot so I ripped my undershirt and made a bandage and was going to wrap it around myself but needed herbs. Hmm I found some berries but they didn't work. I later found some unknown herbs and leaves. Not sure if they were poisonous or not so I ate them to check. Seem fine so I put them on my bandage. Did it help? Well I only covered one and both wounds eventually healed leaving only a scar so probably not. Probably better than those shamans.
After walking to what seems like days and getting lost I finally found that there is a map and I know where my shelter was. My shelter was special only because of my fishing spot and all the wood I had waiting there. I could have set up camp anywhere but that shelter held a special place in my heart so I managed to get back.
I got back and I was starving. I had no food. Berries I found didn't help much. I was desperate and decided to try and eat some of the food in my local village. After all, if I don't have it on me, they can't actually charge me right? I was right. I ate the food and left empty handed. No one chased me. However, when I went back they said I owe them for the food. Lucky enough I made a few bowls and they really wanted my javelins and fish. They wanted a lot for just some small amounts of meat however I didn't want any more holes in me.
I started building my house. Cutting down many trees and turning them into logs taking many days and ended up making 3 walls. I'm making progress and even went on some successful hunts.
After making progress and managed to buy a bow and arrows (which costed my clothes) I ended up getting cold. I couldn't even sleep at night. So, I decided to go on a hunt. Get some leather and make some clothes since I'm practically naked. Walked around and failed a few attempts in skinning squirrels. Lost sight of some reindeers. Then I see it. The biggest (and last) game. It was a brown bear. I was a little worried but I figured hey I got bow and arrows. I have a crap ton of javelins and I would be able to kill it and get a heap of leather. This is my chance.
I was about 4 metres away from this bear. I got my bow out and managed to shoot 4 arrows which never got near it. Hmm I needed to practice more so I get out my javelins since I'm much better at it. The bear hasn't even noticed me yet. I threw my first and it missed. I think I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it off since it started charging. I threw another and not sure if I hit it or not as he came fast. I think I threw another. Don't remember because he was right on me. I felt intense pain as he swiped at me. I started running still feeling pain against my back. He must have gotten my legs because I fell then blacked out right after. A bear ate me. Lesson: Bears are fast.
