These past few months were slow and uneventful for most the parts.

There wasn't much to do except train and eat in the small cave.

Sometimes playing with Celes and sometimes crying while remembering my family was all I did the whole day.

Sometimes, I just stayed still, staring at the ceiling of the cave.

Some days were good and I tried making different things with what little things I had.

It has already been more than a year since I came here but I knew they were ok.

By now, my baby sibling would be some months old and it would swamp them up for taking care of them.

I was less worried about them now that they had someone they must look after and take care of more than they took care of me.

Aside from them, I knew nothing about my other family members or my background.

I knew we had a pretty extensive family, and that we were nobles from the capital and my mom was quite rich and my grandfather is someone famous, but... that was it.

I did not know what they did or who they were, so I never thought about them.

As for my current situation, I was running away.

...

Behind me was a swarm of honeybees.

I was bold enough to desire their fine honey and foolish enough to think I can single-handedly kill a bunch of non-ranked bees and their (Red) queen.

But, to my surprise and utter agony, there were at least hundreds of them chasing after me right now.

The fifteen-centimeter honeybee with an almost three-centimeter-long sting.

It wasn't some normal sting, but a metal sting with poison that induced extreme pain.

I know, I know this was something out of my league, but... what can I do?

I was going away without taking a great treasure with me.

But their reaction to me stealing one-sixteen of their beehive was a bit too extravagant.

Aside from the queen and workers, almost all the soldier bees were after me.

Even after making some great preparations, disguising myself as the duck that I killed, and carefully cutting the hive with no larvas, I was being chased like this.

Like, I did even scatter all the bees from the hive with smoke and all those things that I saw and read but, no.

I was being chased and there was no way to stay in this duck form for too long.

Doing this was time-consuming, and it was almost sunset now.

Greed makes men blind and stupid, which leads to their painful death, was a true thing but... I didn't regret this decision.

[Greater forest honey]

Honey from [Giant honeybees].

An excellent fluid that can increase one's Mana pool by 3% per 60 grams.

It also boosted Mana's gathering speed for three hours and it tasted... smooth.

I didn't know the taste yet but if something valued in platinum coins on the market according to books, this was something very extraordinary.

This type of honey can't be mass-produced by people, as these bees live in a natural habitat with higher Mana and a perfect climate.

But for them to not even let go of a small part of their such enormous home... was understandable.

It wasn't like me to do such things just for small gain but, there were many things I realized these past few months.

I have to grab every opportunity before me if I want to escape this place a little faster.

These herbs and resources were just lying there without being used and if I can use them, isn't this good?

Now that I had a storage skill with such a large space that I didn't know the limits of, I could pick up anything that seemed safe.

So... I just emptied the rich areas.

Without leaving a single thing that seemed to have Mana or special properties, I just put everything inside my storage device.

I also came to know something very important about this new skill.

'I can store living beasts inside this white crack.'

Most storage skills can't store any living thing.

It was possible to store them if it was a skill at the level of (Dimensional Magic) but, it would then be a skill of at least (Green) rank.

That was something... complex.

So, my skill was that special.

I had put some carnivorous plants inside it, somehow… and it worked!

Now, it would be a good trap in some particular situation, but right now wasn't perfect.

The hive they had was almost ten times my height and almost covered three trees.

Solder bees were always disposable in dire situations, so there were always backup soldiers at the hive.

I had purposefully lured them back so I could fight them separately.

The fire spell was already prepared, so I used [Quickstep] And reappeared facing them with a bluish-red flame arrow on my bow.

-Swish!

-Frrrrrrrrrrr...

-Bzzzzzzzzzz!

With a straight blast of fire, the arrow burned many solder bees behind me to crisp.

Some managed to evade or dodge them and were now scattered in the air.

I didn't wait to kill them or anything and used [Quicksteps] two times and hid as a plant some distance away.

It would be dark soon and I was expecting to spend my first night without any roof in this forest.

But, I couldn't just leave those dead bees or the fire as it was.

I had to do something about them and extinguish the fire.

The scattered bees returned after a bit and searched for the culprit that stole a meter-tall piece of their hive.

But they couldn't find anything, even after thirty minutes of thorough searching.

Watching them was a bit entertaining as I ate the fried banana.

I had even emptied the banana tree from my previous cave, so I had many things to spend my time eating.

After the bees left, I collected the dead bodies of burned bees and put out the fire.

It was now night and... my first time in the night world of this hell.
