One piece: Without a system, I have to survive!

The wolf and I stared at each other for a long moment.

I still wasn't sure if it was friend or foe.

But it had saved me—twice.

For now, I decided to trust it.

"Alright," I muttered, standing up. "I don't know why you're helping me, but if you're going to follow me, don't cause trouble."

The wolf just blinked.

I took that as a yes.

The next challenge: food.

I had water from the stream, but without food, I wouldn't last long.

The poisonous berries earlier were a wake-up call—I couldn't just eat random things.

I needed meat.

But how?

I had no hunting skills, no weapons except my crude branch-club, and no idea how strong the animals in this jungle were.

I glanced at the wolf.

Could it hunt?

"Hey," I called out. The wolf's ears twitched, but it didn't move.

I crouched down and made a motion like I was biting food. "Hunt. You understand?"

It tilted its head, then sniffed the air.

Suddenly, it stood up and started walking.

I blinked. Wait, did it actually understand me?

I had no better option, so I followed.

We moved carefully through the jungle, the wolf leading the way.

After about ten minutes, it stopped.

I peeked through the bushes—

A rabbit-like creature with long ears and sharp claws was nibbling on a root.

I tensed. This was my chance.

The wolf's body lowered into a crouch.

Then—

It dashed forward, faster than I expected!

The rabbit-thing screeched and tried to run—but the wolf was quicker.

With one leap, it tackled the creature and bit down hard on its neck.

The rabbit-thing twitched… then went still.

I exhaled, stepping closer.

My first meal in this world.

The wolf let go and looked at me.

I hesitated. "Uh… am I supposed to eat this raw?"

The wolf just sat down, as if saying, That's your problem.

I sighed. Fire. I need fire.

I looked around for dry wood and stones, trying to remember survival tricks from my old world.

The wolf watched in silence as I started working.

It took time, but eventually—

A small flame flickered to life.

I grinned. Success.

Now, I just had to cook the meat—and for the first time since waking up in this world, I wouldn't go to sleep hungry.
