Chapter 4 – Day 3 of Living in the Demonic Land
As soon as I woke up, I looked around the food storage area. I found a dark green monkey monster, Emerald Monkey, lying on the ground with a weak look on its face. It seemed to have fallen into the trap of Forest Rat’s magic stone.
Swosh!
I immediately chopped off its head with my axe.
I skinned it and quickly dismantled it. I had never seen such a monster in the village where I lived, but I had dismantled a monkey before at the request of a butcher, so my body remembered the procedure.
In the back of the chest, I found an emerald-colored magic stone, as the name implies. As I recall, the monkey monster’s magic stone was usually “Confusion.” When I threw it into the magic stone bag, it made a jingling sound.
In a few days, I had accumulated quite a few magic stones. It was the first time I had seen and held such a large number of magic stones. I was deeply moved by the fact that I, a former adventurer, had so many magic stones.
When I opened the food storage room, I found that all the food was gone. The Emerald Monkey must have eaten them.
“I guess slowing down won’t stop it.”
I put some Emerald Monkey meat in the food storage instead.
For breakfast, I fried a piece of the Emerald Monkey’s side meat. It smelled like animal flesh and was tough, but it was the best-tasting meat I had eaten in the jungle. I threw the bones and entrails into the river, and the slime ate them in an instant.
“There will never be a garbage problem in this demonic land.”
When I lived alone in the city, my landlord used to scold me.
“Goodbye to troublesome human relationships.”
I go into the forest to check the bendgrass trap. A bloody red deer monster, Gibi Deer, lay breathless on the animal trail. All of its legs had been chewed off by the bendgrass, and it was unable to get up. [T/n: I can’t find an appropriate name for this ジビエディア.]
The bendgrass on the ground had already turned brown and withered. The leaves could not close once they were dead.
Since I have slaughtered a Gibi Deer many times at the butcher’s, I cut off its head and dismembered it in one fell swoop. I have a lot of experience as a town adventurer, a jack-of-all-trades. The white magic stone in Gibi Deer has the effect of slightly restoring magic power.
Even if I dismantled it, I could not take all the flesh with me, so I scattered it among the bendgrass in the area, and the bendgrass closed its leaves vigorously and devoured it.
“The plants in this demonic place are carnivorous.”
When I went to check the pit, I found a huge boar snoring with its head stuck in the pit.
It looked like a wild boar, a boar monster, but as big as a mountain. It was four times the size of a normal boar.
I cut off the base of its hind leg.
I waited for it to get up and run away, but it didn’t seem to wake up, so I cut off all its legs.
I had enough food for a few days, but I felt like I was losing to a wild boar that was still snoring.
The huge boar shuddered and died just a little after I cut off the base of its neck.
It took all day just to skin it. When the belly was torn open, the smell of its entrails filled the air, and the birds began to chirp.
Inside its belly was an undigested blue snake and wild bear.
“What kind of wild boar preys on carnivorous wild bears and blue snakes? What kind of ecosystem is this demonic land?”
The magic stone was bright red and as big as my torso. The magic stone of the wild boar is not that rare; it only improves appetite.
Since I was in such a hurry, I decided to use the wild boar magic stone and eat a lot of wild boar meat.
In the end, my limit was only one front leg.
There were many usable parts, such as fangs, bones, and skin, and I was able to get a large amount of meat.
Most importantly, I felt that my level had increased greatly, and my body was filled with power. My iron axe and knife were completely shattered and ruined, and I started using something made of palm sap.
It would soon be ruined as well.
I tried to process a wild boar bone to make a kind of one-handed sword. It is the easiest to use.
After I had partially dismantled the wild boar, I made another poison pit. I was much stronger than yesterday, and my work efficiency was improved by my experience, so I was able to make the pit quickly.
I was so excited that I made three or four more.
“After all, eating meat really gives me strength. Wow, is this who I am?”
Realizing that I was covered in sweat and blood, I decided to wash off the dirt in the river.
I had been unmotivated and hadn’t made much progress, but after three days in the demonic land, I felt like I was on my way to becoming a real man.
No one is watching me anyway, and I can handle the slime now, so I jump into the river completely naked.
“Wow, this feels so good!”
As I was washing my whole body, I heard a voice say, “Uh-hoh!”
I turned around to see a female adventurer staring at me from behind a tree. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, a thin body, and was wearing very dirty armor. Her face was covered in mud, but she was beautiful. But her eyes were unfocused.
“W-what do you want?”
I asked, but she said, “Uh-huh,” and slowly approached me.
Just as I was thinking that it might not be a bad idea to be attacked by a dirty female adventurer, a slime jumped out of the river and bit the female adventurer.
The back of the female adventurer’s head was covered in blood after she fell, and the flesh on her back was exposed, with her bones sticking out.
“A zombie!”
I quickly grabbed my axe and threw it at the zombie. The axe spun around and hit the zombie right in the head. The zombie fell onto its back and stopped moving.
After watching it for a while, I confirmed that it had completely stopped moving. When I searched the zombie’s belongings, I found a gold coin that is no longer used in this country.
“Is it an old one?”
I recovered only the gold coins and gave the zombie a good burial.
Tomorrow, I think I will go a little further, deeper into the demonic land.

Bro was about to die because he was horny. He was saved by the slime in the end.

ジビエ – Jibei is borrowed from French Gibier or game meat.
ディア – Diia is just romanji of Deer.
So it could be Game Deer/Gibier Deer.

To sum up. The guy doesn’t know what his rank is as an adventurer. He saved up a few gold coins and bought himself some land in demonic territories. He arrived on this piece of land forgotten by the gods and managed to survive three days in this total wilderness. On top of that, he eats meat of unknownprovenance, which may kill him. He becomes stronger every day. It is unclear whether this is due to the meat he has eaten or to killing monsters. His stats are unknown, although he himself feels that he is leveling up.
After all, our MC has such story armor that even Iron Man himself would envy him! I’ll read a few more chapters, and then I’ll probably go back to “Maseki gurume.” This novel has meaning and content.
