I recovered and then grabbed the creature's crossbow and its pouch full of arrows. It was all covered with blood and guts, but I managed to clean it up using my precious water magic.

  I could have washed everything in the river, but this was more fun.

  After I cleaned it up, I put an arrow in the crossbow to try it out. And as soon as I cocked it and tried to shoot the arrow toward one of the trees, the crossbow didn't fire. "Huh? Is there something wrong with it?" I tried, but I couldn't solve the problem.

  "Damn it!" Then I lost patience and threw it into the river. Next, I sat down at the river's edge and looked at the water. The moonlight hit the water and went directly into my face.

  It was a beautiful sight, but what caught my attention was the fish swimming there.

  "That's it. I need to catch fish and then roast them somehow. Okay, how do I do that? Maybe I can create a harpoon?" I created an ice spear and then created a rope made of earth.

  It certainly wasn't sturdy, but I tried.

  Of course, when the rope fell into the water, it quickly fell apart, and the ice spear was carried away by the current.

  "It's easier this way." So I created one long ice spear. My hands were freezing, but it was more functional. For some reason, my reflexes improved a lot so that I could catch three fish quickly.

  Once I caught them, I searched for some twigs and used fire magic to make a fire.

  "I've never done that before, but I guess it goes like this... And so..." With difficulty, since I didn't have a blade, I used an ice spear ( Yes, I can only think of ice spears ) to go about cutting the fish.

  After removing the scales and entrails, I stuck the fish on a stick and set them to roast.

  I created an excellent structure for roasting them. So after a few long minutes, it was done. There was no salt or pepper, so the taste was not very good, but still, I almost cried with happiness.

  A decent meal after so long.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Then, after enjoying myself, I finally tried to sleep. Of course, I couldn't.

  ####

  The sun was already rising.

  I got up and walked along the river even though I was sleepy. Fortunately, I had not encountered any new enemies in the hours I walked, and I had an endless food supply.

  Fish.

  I would get seasick at some point, but I'm sure I won't be travelling for that long. And as I imagined, as night was coming on, I finally found a sign of civilization.

  On the river, a water wheel spun and spun. Someone had to have built that. So, using earth magic, I created pillars in the water and jumped over them until I reached the other side.

  I almost fell in, but I got there safely.

  "If that's here, then there must be a city nearby, right?" Even though I was still in the middle of a forest, I was still confident that a city was nearby.

  So I started walking through the woods.

  It was getting darker and darker, and the monkeys were getting more active and shouting more and more. I was afraid that one of them was going to attack me.

  Fortunately, it didn't attack me, and I managed to get to a town safely.

  I don't know if I could call it a town. I had found one wooden wall that was 5 meters high. If it is a fantasy world, a city should not have its wall made of wood; it is not that sturdy.

  "I'm going to walk around it to look for an entrance." And so I did.

  I walked a long way until I reached one end of the wall. Then I walked again to another end and after turning and walking for a while longer... I had reached an entrance.

  "That is much bigger than I imagined. Still, it's too small to be a town. Maybe a village?" I approached the large three-meter high gate and knocked a few times. No one answered.

  So I knocked again and again until finally, the gate slowly opened.

  After the gate was opened, I could see a... monster? It was looking directly at me. A two-meter tall monster with a pig snout. His skin was completely pink, and he was wearing clothes like a human.

  As soon as he saw me, the giant pig shouted. "INTRUDER!!!"

  "BUT I DIDN'T EVEN ENTER YOUR VILLAGE!!!" I shouted as I ran away.

  "AH!" As I was running away, a spear fell beside me. If that thing hit me, I was dead. Then I looked back and saw the giant pig chasing me.

  I have to do something, or I will become pig food.

  I turned around and activated my most reliable magic ( for now )

  "ICE SPINES!" A burst of ice spines flew towards the pig, piercing its body in several places. Without making a sound, it fell to the ground, lifeless.

  But I had no time to rest. Just behind, many of those giant pigs began to appear, holding weapons.

  I started to run and stumbled into a hole. As I fell, my thigh slammed into the ground, digging the arrow on my leg even deeper.

  "This is not the time for this!" I grabbed the arrow and pulled it from my leg, not caring about the bleeding. I felt a sharp pain but didn't have time to think about it.

  "I HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO ENCOUNTER AN ENTIRE CITY OF GIANT KILLER PIGS!" I shouted as I activated several spells and slaughtered all those pigs as if they were just ants.

  I didn't realize how strong I was until I had created a mountain of bodies and the pig city was on fire.
