"One day, there will be a battle where people must choose sides. If I create a place or an observatory where a selectively bred group of creatures can be observed or potentially domesticated, I would like you to visit. This will further the goal of cohabitation. For those who aren't interested in such things and will refuse to leave such studies alone through the use of force, fighting is the only option. It will test your humanity, Mr. Beast. The man under the mask that you wear, that you shroud yourself in, will reveal who you truly are."

As Idir continued to walk, he looked ahead.

"Ironically, I not only agree with the studies, but with the benefits of the creatures' existence. Game meat is a function of how well the meat can be cooked by a system-generated creature before it becomes edible, or if we would even change if we ate them. My only path is to continue the circle of life: defeat, study, learn, and live."

Idir left out the last part, to become the ultimate predator. He doubted anyone would understand the reasoning behind it.

"Ah yes, they say you can attract more flies with honey."

Taking out the treats, Idir shook the bag in the area before hearing some meows. As he moved closer, he saw the cat walking towards him.

"Ah, a warrior. You don't fear me? Take your prize, young one!"

Idir then emptied the entire bag on the floor for the cat to feast on, while he looked at Mr. Beast with a smile.

"Well deserved, a fat cat is no longer nimble. We'll take it home once it has had its cat nap!"

"My handsome looks and body may have fooled you," Idir said to the woman. "As you predicted, my body has been hardened by conflict. However, this does not mean that I was without wealth. Back in my home country, the copper mines produced plenty of wealth for my family to use and provided us with a lot of luxury. But if you do not adapt to how this new world operates, you will be destroyed. The only difference between me and them is that due to my craft and occupation, I had a head start."

Idir glanced at the woman accompanying them. "I'm Idir, and this is my temporary assistant for this mission, Dee-Dee. I'm not sure if you were able to receive this mission, but the more bodies we have to pick the plant, the better. It would be worth your while, as points are the new form of currency and they are hard to come by for those who refuse to participate. There is strength in numbers."

After giving Dee-Dee a chance to introduce herself, Idir continued, "We're searching for Chasmanthe Armeniacum, a series of herbs that produce sap that is treated as an anesthetic for wounds. It also lowers pain and promotes natural healing. The plant has small egg-shaped leaves that are purple in color. We cannot miss it."

Idir then turned back to the woman. "I'm fine with you being here. Anyone can travel or go anywhere they want as long as they accept the risks. Do you mind joining us?"

Idir's amusement was evident as he watched the woman use her umbrella to create some distance between them. He couldn't help but understand how people react when others invade their personal space, but such concepts do not exist in the jungle. Being a part of this ecosystem, interacting with it, and possibly interfering with its natural way of life is inevitable. Even the plants themselves would perceive Idir and other humans as large and terrifying if they were capable of thought.

Despite the woman's caution, Idir was quick to reassure her that she had nothing to fear from him. "Caution is wise in these parts," he said, "but you do not need to fear me. I have no interest in hunting human beings or anything of the sort. My game is the creatures of this land! I am here to study their abilities, true nature, and even their daily routines. I am also interested in their weaknesses, if they have any. My name is Idir, and I used to be an ecologist before the world changed."

Idir's words were sincere, and his tone was gentle. He had a deep respect for the creatures that lived in this jungle and understood the importance of preserving their existence. His passion for ecology had led him to this place, and he was determined to understand every aspect of this ecosystem.

The woman, who had introduced herself as Ms. Washington, seemed somewhat relieved by Idir's words. She asked him where he was from, and Idir gave her a quizzical look. "No, I am from the African continent," he replied. "This place is where I did my tutorial mission, my rebirth so to speak. We must adapt to survive, and as human beings, that is how we live, Ms. Washington."

Idir's words were not just a reflection of his personal beliefs; they also spoke to the resilience of human beings. He understood that change was a part of life, and that those who adapt are the ones who survive.

Idir had always prided himself on his knowledge of the creatures that roamed the land. He had spent years studying their behavior and patterns, learning to respect the circle of life that had developed as a result of their introduction. As such, he had expected Dee to follow his lead and heed his words like a sponge. He hoped that she would share his respect for these creatures and their environment, and that she would absorb his teachings and learn from his observations.

The best way to benefit from observing these creatures was when one could do so without impeding their actions. Idir knew this, and he had hoped that Dee would understand it too. He had hoped that she would see the value in letting the creatures go about their business and observe them from a distance. But when Dee had come across the trapped creature, Idir had realized that his hopes were misplaced.

The trapped creature had fascinated Dee, and she had been unable to resist the urge to help it. Idir had watched as she slowly and carefully approached the creature, offering it a way out of the sticky, viscous goop that had ensnared it. He had watched with a mixture of admiration and trepidation as Dee had risked her own safety to help the creature escape. Idir had acknowledged Dee's choice, but he had warned her that even small animals could be poisonous, and he had no antidotes in his inventory.

"You need to be careful for now on. Don't act too indepndently without knowing what it is. "

He had preferred to be careful when dealing with unknown creatures and to investigate their nature before taking any action. He had admired Dee's courage in getting close to the creature despite the potential dangers, but he had also worried about the risks she had taken.

Idir had been curious about the creature and its fate. He had wondered if it would have found a way out of the goop if Dee hadn't intervened. He had speculated that the creature might have chosen suicide over being eaten by a predator, or that the goop might have had a complex internal process when animals ingested it as a food source. He had wondered what kind of predator would come after the little creature after being trapped by the plant. But all of those questions became moot when Dee's kind heart played a role in the creature's escape.

Idir recognized that it was not his place to dictate how Dee should live her life in this new world. Her kindness could be revered, but it could also get her killed if she mistook something. That too would be her destiny. He had accepted that he could not control her choices or her fate, and that he could only watch and learn from her actions.

Suddenly, Idir detected a new scent in the air. Sniffing Dee, he confirmed that it wasn't her scent. He wondered if it was a shampoo or perfume. Either way, it was a new smell that hadn't been in the area before. He knew that he needed to investigate further, to find out who or what had brought this new scent to their territory. He hoped that whatever it was wouldn't pose a threat to them, but he was prepared to defend himself and Dee if necessary.

"Show yourself! I can smell Balenciaga from a mile away," he called out, his voice echoing through the forest.

Idir's lips curved into a proud smile as the young woman before him followed his instructions to the letter. It was a joy to see another human being successfully conquer a creature based on his guidance. The satisfaction he derived from this experience was akin to the thrill of his poaching days, where he would venture into the wild to test his strategies. The success of his instructions regarding the slime proved to be a gratifying moment for him.


"Excellent job! Today, you have learned something valuable. The principles of dealing with advanced slime creatures' inner core remain the same. However, taming animals is a different story. I have yet to find a way to cultivate a closer relationship between humans and certain creatures without specialized training. Further research is necessary."


Idir had never considered domesticating the newly discovered creatures for his own benefit. Still, the thought of it intrigued him, and he wondered what methods could make this opportunity feasible. The young woman's profession also piqued his interest.


"An archeologist? How fascinating! I am an ecologist, and I believe that with the changing nature of the relationship between creatures and the world, you will find many exciting projects to occupy your time. For example, the zoning of areas with historical significance, such as the Great Wall of China, could be one of the many fascinating projects to work on. Have you ever considered that your studies could lead to the discovery of valuable artifacts imbued with magical powers? You should be proud of the work you do - it's worth fighting for."


Idir's mind raced with thoughts of how the young lady's profession could bring transformational changes in the world. He was confident that her research would uncover valuable information that could change the course of history. The world was a vast place with countless mysteries waiting to be uncovered. Idir was passionate about his work as an ecologist and believed that he and the young woman could make a significant impact in the world, given the opportunity.


He leaned back in his chair, a sense of satisfaction radiating from within. He had imparted his knowledge to someone who could use it to make a difference. He imagined a world where humans and creatures coexisted peacefully, and he was confident that, together with the young woman, they could make it a reality.

"Your studies interest me, there's something I want to do with you."

As Idir watched the woman intently, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. It was clear that she was absorbing the information he was providing like a sponge, and this pleased him greatly. He found comfort in the fact that the notes he was sharing would aid her in her future adventures, once they parted ways. This was precisely one of the primary objectives of his documentary. He wondered if this would be another opportunity to test his ability to convey information effectively to others.

Idir was intrigued by the young girl, Dee, who had introduced herself not by speaking but by writing on a notepad. He couldn't help but wonder if she had a pre-existing disability before the world had changed or if she was more proficient in sign language. Alternatively, perhaps she had lost the ability to speak due to a class or status effect that plagued her? He wished to know more about her, but he didn't want to pry.

"Why are you unable to speak?" Idir asked, breaking the silence. "Is there something wrong with you? I understand why you may choose to remain silent, to avoid alerting creatures and maintain an element of surprise, but I would like to know in advance if you are unable to speak. This means you might not be able to call for help or communicate in a party, which could put you in a difficult situation."

Idir was completely focused on his task at hand - he was scanning his surroundings, looking carefully for bushes and herbs that he had spotted during his earlier tutorial. When he had first arrived, he had not paid much attention to them as his focus was primarily on the monster he had to pursue. However, now that the gathering mission was underway, he remembered that there was an easier method of finding the herb he had seen earlier. He even remembered its name. Just as he was deep in thought, he accidentally bumped into a young child who was standing in his way. The child immediately waved at him to apologize for the accident.


"I knew you were there, young one. I can smell it - the smell of a person who knows nothing about the jungle. A mere book cannot teach you the ways of survival, youngling. But have no fear, you are looking at an expert!" Idir exclaimed, looking at the child with confidence.

As he looked at her up and down, Idir pounded his chest and introduced himself. "I am Idir, an Ecologist. I am currently on a mission to hunt for herbs and plants that have healing properties. If you are here at this exact spot, you must know about it too, right? The ideal plant for this mission!" he said, with a hint of excitement.


It was entirely possible that the child didn't know what he was talking about, so Idir continued to explain. "The Chasmanthe Armeniacum is an uncommon, tiny plant and can only be found in the hollow hills. Or better yet, I only found it in the hollow hills during my tutorial mission. It has small, egg-shaped leaves that are usually purple. It also grows small flowers that can be gold and dark orange. As a defense mechanism, the Chasmanthe Armeniacum produces a thick, sticky wax. But little do you know, that wax is an anesthetic clotting agent for wounds. Fascinating, isn't it?" With that, Idir had not only imparted his knowledge about the herb he was searching for but also taught the child something new.
