The mountain sucks

  I feel like this might be fun, having companions.

  I wake up with another muffled scream, the pain is still there, but I'm getting used to holding back my voice,

  side glances my way, probably confused or something,

  the paint on side cannot move, so even though she has a ‘face’ she cannot show any emotions on it,

  I clean myself off as usual,

  ignoring that empty gaze but fidgeting body, I take a shower like usual and have breakfast,

  My breakfast was some kind of skewer I got from a food stall and some fruit,

  side looks on enviously at me eating, what do you want?

  ‘’I wish I could eat food…’’ she mutters I guess golems have their own troubles,

  We continue walking, improving our teamwork with goblins kills and chatting along the way,

  it's really annoying anytime the wind hits since it makes side fall over slowing our progress, once there was a big gust of wind and side started flying away!

  I had to chase her for a full 30 minutes across the plains like a kite with its string cut,

  but with all that going on side and i got to really get along and start to trust each other more,

  I'm still a little sceptical but I can tell she’s a good person. golem. thing.

  Finally, after 4 days of walking, we arrived at our destination,

  honestly, the time it took could be halved if side was a little heavier and a bit less clumsy but what can you do,

  Over those four days, I experimented a lot with identify,

  somehow I got it to agree to show me the status of the first monster of its kind I meet automatically,

  it didn’t agree, however, to do the same with people I meet,

  so I still have to ask when I meet someone,

  but asking identify is really annoying because of its snarky comments, talking back, not complying and general annoyance,

  I also don’t want to waste my breath asking about every little thing I encounter, so that auto identify thing really helps,

  even though it would be useless when I come across the same creature or to tell if it’s a higher level,

  We arrive at the destination on the map

  so far, side hasn’t attempted to kill me yet, so that’s a plus and even though she might be clumsy, she is quite smart.

  The destination is a mountain range with some trees scattered sparsely, our prey is anything we kill here, but does that mean I can kill a human and it would also count?

  The wording on that note was too vague but hey, it got me to sign up and that’s all that matters,

  we walk along the mountain, climbing cliffs occasionally, chasing side sometimes because she was blown in the wind, my boots crunching stones as I chase after her, sometimes falling off cliffs

  eventually meeting our first monster

  And here is the side effect of asking identify to auto-identify,

  Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.

  it said if I did this, the names of monsters would go into literal translation mode, meaning all their names would sound incredibly stupid,

  so far mountain mouse isn’t that dumb of a name but I'm worried about the future monsters and their descriptions

  The mouse is quite large, being about the size of a large dog, with grey fur and sharp teeth

  side used wind magic from a distance and I scratched it up close,

  after killing the mouse and collecting the ear I start skinning it,

  the fur on that mouse looks quite soft and it would be nice to have some new material for clothes,

  wait, why didnt I buy some at the city?

  We continue walking and find some sort of wolf made of stone

  Side uses air cutter, its not very effective,

  it only leaves a small scratch on the wolfs chiselled surface,

  I come in and scratch its face carving out chunks of stone and leaving deep gashes,

  the wolf continues fighting like nothing ever happened with half its face missing,

  it lunges at me and I roll to the side, getting cut up in the process

  AAHH why are there so many sharp rocks on this mountain!

  I jump on the wolfs back and started digging, removing handfuls at a time, the cold stone chilling my boat

  the wolf buckles and thrashes around madly almost throwing me off

  vines shoot out from the ground and entangle its legs

  I take this time to pierce my hand down and touch something warm

  wrapping my fingers around it and giving a yank i remove a glowing blue crystal

  is this a golems core?

  the wolf disintegrates from under me and I fall on my tush

  rubbing my backside I look at side, does she have a core too?

  If so, where? She is pretty much 2D so any lump would be visible

  why not ask? ‘’hey side, do you have a core too?’’

  side starts fidgeting and waving her arms around panicky ‘’w-w-what? Y-y-you s-shouldn’t a-ask that kind of thing! T-that’s my private place! W-why are you touching that wolfs core! PERVERT’’

  huh, so golems cores are like their private parts? You learn something new every day,

  I pocket the core in my item box and we keep searching for monsters

  We encounter a pretty big snake, that’s it,

  its just a snake that’s big,

  and its not even that big anyway, only around 4 m long,

  even snakes on earth are bigger than that much less one with giant monsters,

  I scratch its head, missing and cutting the neck clean off,

  the now headless snake wriggles around for a while,

  creepy

  *ptts pew*, something wet landed on my feet,

  AAAHHHH my foot is flipping dissolving! That is not venom! That’s a flipping acid used to hide crime scenes!,

  something that shouldn’t be strong enough to melt metal and flesh instantly! At least not one a living being should be able to produce

  i fall over due to my lack of feet

  right onto the puddle of acid

  I forgot some animals can keep going even if they are dead

  The Stat starts standing still
