The subtle World of Terraria

1-3. Preparation and Ambush.

"Alright, time to cook up some new stuff." I told myself, almost enjoying the process.

Terraria's crafting system always instantly make anything I want to make, even cooking or smelting stuff is instantly made. so the iron bars in my inventory formed into an anvil in the fraction of a second. Similar thing happened to the furnace. I placed them both down next to the workbench and then started my crafting spree.

Firstly, I need health potions, and to do that I need to transform my crafting bench into an alchemical bench. And this is done very easily by crafting bottles and placing one on top of a crafting bench. To craft bottles, I needed the furnace. I already scooped up some sand before which caused the slimes chase scene and now that sand is going to be converted to glass after which I'll turn it into Glass Bottles.

With the bottles created, I could make about 6 lesser health potions and along with that, I created 300 Wooden arrows... Honestly, I thought I would be making a bunch more things but I really have nothing else on me aside from a lot of wood and some leftover gel, glass and all those things.

Lesser health potions:
Tooltip: heals 50 HP but cooldown of 60 sec after using one.

Wooden Arrow:
Damage: 4
Knockback: very weak
Velocity: slow

I wonder if there are skills that I can use with the bow & arrow to become like a stealth archer from skyrim? Nah, that shouldn't be possible... right? Well, If it is. Then no one can stop me from becoming one.

Now then, I finally have good enough gear to face against, normal enemies such as zombies and demon eyes and I can finally take a break. I walked next to the campfire and sat there. The fire crackling noise soothed me as my health slowly regenerated. My mind started relaxing and now that I think about it. So much stuff has happened in the last few hours that it all feels unreal.

I'm not in my real world. I don't have my actual body. I can die any minute if I'm not careful. But despite all the dangers, I feel very calm. I'm betting it's all because of the pain-immunity skill otherwise I don't know how much I would be panicking right now.

...

I have to go back home. My family really needs me. The campfire crackling noise slowly felt like it was trying to console me.

I want to figure out why I'm suddenly in Terraria and I should make some plans about what I will do from here on out but I have no information about anything right now. I can just stay in this small hole and wait for the night to move away, but the sun is still up and Unlike in the game where every minute is an in-game hour, I have a lot of time before night time and I'm also prepared for it as well.

I think that the only thing I can hope to do right now is to try to get an NPC to move in. To do that, building a house is the first requirement, there are different requirements for each specific NPC but I only want the Guide NPC to move in right now. The guide NPC, as his name suggests, Guides players and helps new ones to find a footing in the game as well as suggest to them a lot of tips and goals for what they should try to do.

I don't know how much different the guide will be in here. But right now I feel like he's my only hope. The problem is, I want to create a small house in this tiny cave but I feel like I will have to mine out all the dirt and replace it with wood. Unlike the game, I don't know if specific things such as building a house in a cave will interfere with me building a house, so just in case, I will build my first house outside in the open.

Well, I can't tell the time in here but when I came into this hole, the sun was high up, so I guess can still waste some time mining around for more ores and stuff. Let's see if I can get lucky.
