[Everyone, I panicked and used my novice protection immediately. Now I'm stuck with no water or food, please is anyone generous enough to give me something please...]
[To the person above me have you tried using your special summoning token. I used it and got a tier 9/5 Aether enhanced eagle. He's awesome, he may not have killed of anything but he was able to scout and lead me to a safe area where I established my territory.]
[I already summoned but it was just a useless farmer… fml]
[Ha sucks to be you two I got myself a 8/1 Dwarf, he came with shovels and pickaxes we just dug ourselves into the ground]
[LOL Rock and stones bud, rock and stones]
[Did anyone get any talents, I unfortunately didn't]
[I did, bow down to me for I can set wood on fire]
[Lol you might as well not have a talent. A lighter would be more useful than you]
[Speaking of fire does anyone know how to make one?]
[Send me a unit of resources and I'll tell you]
[F**k that that's a scam, let me run this guy out of business, first you need to find some small twigs for the fire. Then you just run a stick really hard on a price of wood till it sparks, remember to gather some extra logs for keeping the fire going]
[Not very detailed but thank you]
[yeah, thank you] x1000
...
[Anyone else notice how low the number of people there are in here]
[Yeah I did, but there were no other channels to go to]
[It must mean that humans are spread to many realms]
[It must be there are over 20 billion humans from last years count no way are we the only surviving ones]

After scrolling through the chat for a bit I saw that there was not much else to gleam from the chat so I got up to go to the bathroom and do my daily business.
I look into the mirror to style my hair and what greets me is a 150cm tall androgynous male with long whitish grey hair. The weird part was the blue highlights that suddenly appeared at the end of my hair.
I shook my head to get the thought out of me I had more important things to worry about either way. After I had thrown off that line of thought I finished styling my hair into a single ponytail.
Exiting the house I was greeted to the sight of Tama reheating the leftover deer over the fire.
Noticing me Tama approaches me.
"Good morning my lord, I hope you had a pleasant sleep. I have prepared some breakfast for you should you want it." Tama says to me before holding out a platter with lasts nights leftovers reheated.
Taking the food I thank her before devouring my food.
"I would like to inform you, my lord, that during the night there was no less than 5 attacks on our territory. No need to worry though as I was able to take care of it myself."
I swallowed my current bite before asking, "What happened to the corpses then we could use them to create a stockpile of food"
"We had nowhere to store them so I had one of my subordinates store them by the riverside." Tama replied.
"Good bring them to me I'll store them." I ordered
Tama took four other Kitsunes to where they stored the carcasses.
...
After reaching the riverside Tama and the four others saw the rotting corpse of the carcasses they had stored.
"What should we do?" one of the Kitsunes asked Tama.
"We should bring one back for proof and inform the lord." Tama replies.
...
Just as I finished eating my breakfast I see Tama and the others dragging over a rotting carcass.
"My lord, the carcasses have rot as if it had been left out for a fortnight instead of a day" Tama reports.
"It seems that food rots faster to discourage hording but does it work rot faster in the warehouse" I say to tama before continuing to order her and the others to hunt for fresh food.
This does not bode well if food rots this fast then I will need to devote more resources to food gathering than I would. I think to myself.
