Chapter 1.07
Erin Solstice survives a bout of food poisoning after observing a band of Goblins who can seemingly detect which blue fruits are safe to eat. Later that night, a terrifying skeletal monstrosity arrives and attempts to break into The Wandering Inn.
Growing tired of her diet of blue fruits, Erin Solstice decides to explore her new [Basic Crafting] skill. However, after gathering and eating more fruit, she becomes violently ill, quickly realizing she has suffered from food poisoning. After recovering, she notices a small Goblin Band of six by the stream near The Wandering Inn.
Fascinated and cautious, Erin watches them from the inn. She observes the Littlest Goblin in the group carefully sniffing and discarding certain blue fruits before eating. Erin deduces that some of the fruits are poisonous and that the Goblins possess a way to tell them apart, possibly through a Skill like [Detect Poison]. This revelation provides her with a method for safely gathering her own food.
Inspired to find other food sources, Erin uses her [Basic Crafting] skill to weave a crude net out of grass. She attempts to catch the large Flatfish in the stream but fails, managing only to trap a few small Rock Crabs, which she is hesitant to eat.
A brief scene shifts to the city of Liscor, where Guardsmen Relc and Klbkch are at the barracks. Their superior, Captain Z, orders Relc to break up a brawl, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Liscor City Watch.
That night, as Erin rests inside the inn, a terrifying new threat appears. A massive Skeletal Monstrosity, a shambling horror of bones and claws, lumbers up to the inn. The chapter ends with the creature pounding on the door, trying to force its way inside while Erin is trapped within.
After eating a tainted Blue Fruit, Erin Solstice becomes violently ill. She survives the ordeal and realizes that her primary food source is not consistently safe.
A small Goblin Band arrives at the stream to forage. Erin observes the Littlest Goblin carefully selecting edible Blue Fruits, leading her to understand how to avoid the poisoned ones.
