I'm the Only Totem in Another World - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Possessed Wanderer’s Log （2）

A deserted island? This Ajusshi is really having a hard time. As if being possessed wasn’t enough, he even gets dropped in a strange place.

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: A deserted island? Please take a picture.]

Dinosaur Punch, a user who has been around since almost the beginning, stepped forward as a representative. He’s the user who’s been posting the Foraging Diary series since George’s raid was wiped out.

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: A picture? How do I send it?]

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: Press ‘Write’ and then ‘Attach Photo’ on the right end.]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Aha.]

[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: I’ll send a picture.

（A picture of a beach with an endless ocean.）

I thought it was just a beach, but as I kept moving, it seemed like an island. Not just any island, but a pretty big volcanic island.

There are no people, and no traces of people. I might have missed it though.

I’m really scared right now. If this isn’t a hidden camera prank, what should I do? I need a quick answer.]

━ Comments ━

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Wow, is it really an island?]

[Seonggiseonggisa: Stuck on an island alone~ If it were me, I would have fainted~!]

ㄴ [3Reps500: This isn’t a joke, you crazy bitch.]

[Shotgun Attack: Wow. There’s really no answer. I have no idea what to do or how to do it.]

[Dairy Cow Bikini Dance: That nickname is so outdated lol]

[Close-Range Spy: Is this for real?]

While everyone was getting excited, Dinosaur Punch stepped forward again.

[Dinosaur Punch: Are you sure there are no Infected, Cultists, or Demons?]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Yes. I haven’t seen any while walking around the island. But is this really the world of Paladin Survival? How is this even possible?]

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: Whether this is the world of the game, or a real world similar to the game… I don’t know the details. What’s certain is that you feel pain and hunger here, and if you die, that’s it.]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Ah…]

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: It’s a relief that there are no Demons. You can use a cave as your home, so the only problem would be food.]

It might not be a relief. No Demons, Cultists, or Infected means no experience points.

A high-level Paladin might be able to find a way to escape the island, but it seems almost impossible for a Level 1 Paladin to escape with his abilities.

Just from the picture, the waves look very rough. Even if he manages to build a raft, it would probably capsize quickly.

I didn’t want to crush his hopes, so I didn’t say anything. Unlike Hanna, I’m a reasonable person.

ㄴ [Goollreu: You need to make a fire too. You’ll freeze to death while sleeping.]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Food, fire… I understand.]

ㄴ [Brahmanda: Are there any animals living on the island? Are there any plants?]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Now that I think about it, I haven’t eaten all day. I haven’t seen any big animals, but there are a lot of plants.]

Many users actively helped Maljukgeoriboksangsa, who became an ‘Otherworld Robinson Crusoe’.

But these people seem to be mistaken about something.

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: You idiots, you need to get drinking water first, why are you talking about food and fire?]

Even if I graduated from a third-rate university and worked as a convenience store clerk, I have some knowledge about this. I’ve read a few survival novels.

You can survive for a few weeks without food, but you can’t even last three days without water. Fire can wait. Since he survived last night, it doesn’t seem to be freezing cold yet.

Paladins all wake up in the cave fully equipped with armor, helmets, and shoes, so that won’t be a big problem.

Drinking water is the priority.

ㄴ [Goollreu: Ah, you’re right. Did you drink any water?]

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: I was so thirsty that I drank some seawater… I know I shouldn’t have.]

Oh no. He’ll get dehydrated if he keeps drinking that.

ㄴ [Shotgun Attack: So, Ultra Sanz, do you know how to make drinking water?]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Nope, sorry.]

I know drinking water is important, but I don’t know how to make it. I know I need to make a makeshift water purifier, but I don’t know how.

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Does anyone know how to make a makeshift water purifier?]

I’m sure I saw it somewhere, but I forgot.

[I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Skynet, tell me how to make a makeshift water purifier.]

This guy is messing around again. What would that idiot who’s imitating AI know? He’s the one who slandered me, an Eastern Dragon, saying I was Baal or something. He won’t give a proper answer.

[Skynet: Making a makeshift water purifier is not recommended as it requires expertise and consideration of safety factors.

Water plays a crucial role in our health and safety, so it is better to purchase and use a reliable water purifier or source water system.]

ㄴ [I Trusted the Monkey Man but: Please go die, Hyung-nim.]

See? He’s just saying frustrating things.

ㄴ [Brahmanda: How about boiling the water?]

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: That’s the most standard way.]

So, in the end, he has to make a fire first.

ㄴ [Maljukgeoriboksangsa: How do I make a fire?]

Ah, it’s not easy. Unless he has a lighter, matches, or a convex lens, making a fire in that natural environment won’t be easy.

Since his level is low, he can’t use skills to start a fire like Siu did in the village she was trapped in while looking for Viagra.

“How about having the last subjugation here?”

Rake, who had finished preparing for the trip, suddenly approached Totem No. 3 with a map.

Ah, time flies.

I felt sorry for that guy, but I have to do what I have to do. Other users are helping him, so he’ll find a way somehow.

I checked the map.

Hmm. It’s quite far from here. Should I get Paya’s help and fly there on Tteunteuni?

…No. I’m not showing it, but Rake must be mentally and physically exhausted after fighting high-ranking demons for two days in a row.

The last high-ranking demon we have to deal with is a monstrous one with instantaneous acceleration, stealth, and the ability to generate deadly poison within its body.

The Saint said that it wiped out dozens of the empire’s knights under the cover of night. It seems to have been quite infamous even before the apocalypse, as it even has the nickname ‘Night Stalker Demon’.

If the half-human, half-horse demon was a hunter, this one is an assassin. It might have been called ‘Grim Reaper’ or ‘God of Death’ in the world it came from.

Fighting it in this state is suicide.

━ Let’s conserve our strength as much as possible since it’s the last opponent. No running.

Running will waste our energy. Let’s subjugate it in perfect condition.

“I’m fine.”

━ I want to rest.

I’m anxious, that’s why. Me.

Accumulated fatigue could lead to a critical mistake. We have time, so it’s right to control even minor variables.

“…Alright.”

Rake quickly agreed when I was firm. She must have been tired too.

━ Why don’t you leave the totem here for a moment and go to the Tribal Federation to rest?

If she leaves the totem here, I can summon her back.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Rake shook her head.

“That would dull the blade of my heart. I’m also worried about losing Malak-nim’s totem. I’m sorry.”

Well, that makes sense.

People usually don’t want to do anything once they get under the covers. If she stays in the comfortable and cozy Tribal Federation even for a short time, she’ll get lazy.

━ I understand.

Rake needs some healing right now. I think I’ll take it easy for the last subjugation, like filming a road movie. It’s not like Manifestation is something that needs to be rushed.

I talked to Rake for a bit and then logged into the community. It wasn’t because I was bored with the conversation, but because Rake was focusing on finding the way, so I gave her some space.

[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: I made a fire using flint and dry wood!

（A picture of twigs with a flame.）

Like you guys said, I broke a rock with the knife in the cave and made it into flint. It worked better than the ones I was using before.

I’m constantly blowing air into it with my mouth. I’m so happy.]

That’s a relief. Making a fire is really difficult, but he managed to do it. Like other users, I left a complimentary comment to encourage him.

[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Where should I boil the water? There’s no suitable container…]

Ah, I can help with this.

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Use your helmet.]

ㄴ [Ultra Sanz Crazed for Nighttime Massacre Mode: Filter the boiled water once with your shirt or a towel. There might be sand in it.]

Using a helmet as a plate or cup is a long tradition. There are famous stories of soldiers on the battlefield turning their helmets upside down and cooking food in them.

Isn’t “Jeongol”, a hot pot dish, named after a helmet dish where they boiled lamb and vegetables?

ㄴ [Dinosaur Punch: Wow. That’s a good idea.]

ㄴ [Shotgun Attack: You’re right. We all come in armed when we get possessed, so we should all have helmets.]

I might be a little smart.

[Maljukgeoriboksangsa: Bubbling.

（A picture of water boiling in a helmet.）

It’s working. Whew. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.]

It feels like I’m watching a live survival broadcast.

There was no witty commentary or vivid sound from the participant, but it was stimulating and refreshing, especially in this demon apocalypse world where I’m already bored and have nothing to do.

This is so much fun.
