Chapter 3: Fishy Fish

Start from the beginning
                                    

Katara looked at me and then at the fish that I held in my hand. "You were able to catch two fish? Well, that's surprising, the only thing you usually catch is wet clothes."

Well…  it seemed like my dear sister had zero confidence in me. But I also understood just how amazing even something like a Fishing skill is. Because in actuality, it gave me a 5% chance to catch the fish, and that was absolute, the fish, no matter how it had a 5% chance to catch it. I saw over a hundred fish in less than three hours. Also somehow some fish swam around as if mocking me, but I still couldn't catch some of them.

Still though, hearing this from Katara, I will never underestimate a skill, no matter how useless it might seem. Even in early levels, something small would always help.

"By the way, dear sister, I also got wet clothes today and I accidentally nicked my pants with my spear so fix those too," I told her while taking off my clothes and staying only in my underwear. Then I threw my clothes to Katara, who looked at me annoyed.

Gran-Gran on the other hand just smiled gently at our interactions.

"Anyway, gran-gran, can you cook us some of the fish. I am hungry~" I smiled and laid down. I haven't felt even a trace of hunger ever since I have come to this world. I doubt that I even need sustenance… after all the body of a game character can't starve.

"Get rid of the fish's scales and organs first moron. Or do you want gran-gran to do all the work again?" Said Katara judgingly.

I only smirk at her. Welp, even the motherly Katara knows how to hold a grudge after all. "Of course not, I just wanted to talk to gran-gran about something… in private while we skin the fish."

"What? Did you wet your pants in the cold or something?" Mocked Katara, by trying an innuendo to the word 'wet' because grandma was around.

"Nope~ I just wanted to tell her something private Tiga asked for." I countered, "Anyway, Katara, really, thanks for taking care of someone troublesome like me."

She raised a questioning brow at that, her face looked at me with a cringing look. "Sokka… do you feel sick?"

After saying that she got up and checked me for a fever. 

"No need to be so mean Katara," gran-gran intervened, "Sokka is a very kind young man inside."

"I know, I know, just joking around a little." 

Then I and gran-gran go outside to get rid of the fish's scales and make it ready to cook. 

Once outside, she looked at me and said. "What did you need to tell me about Sokka?"

"Remember when you asked me to get some information on that young man. Well while fishing I thought about it, he is an airbender and even has their tattoos. So I am not sure about this… but he might be the Avatar…" I tell her my findings, and gran-gran looks at me calmly, not an ounce of surprise on her face. That was all I needed to understand what this meant. "Wait, you already probably guessed this right?"

She smiled. "Yes, but I didn't know that he was an actual airbender. Now, this just confirms it."

I even leveled up twice… noice! Now I can finally fix my luck problem. Immediately I put all of the points on Luck, raising it to 11. This way at least the world won't work against me.

Also, I learned something new, gran-gran was quite smart and observing for her age. I better not raise any suspicion.

"Also make sure to clean your tent. I can see that it has started to clutter outside." She said, waving me off.

I smile, now knowing that I have my personal tent. "Anyway, gran-gran, I am going out for some training."

I then started running off in my underwear, but not before I heard gran-gran yell out. "Put some clothes on! And don't forget to come back at dinner time."

I smirked at that.

I use <Observe> around the tents till I find my own and then enter it… the first thing I notice is the smell, the 2nd thing was the clutter of a lot of useless things.

There was a sleeping bag laid down and much useless stuff… all of them truly useless, only a couple weapons were of any use.
