He undressed by the lake, "I don't want to wet my only clothes" and he jumped on the lake.
He's swimming down to the lake and trying to look around for the item.
"Where is it? The lake is quite deep" as he continued to go down.
He soon notices something shining down there, but he goes up and takes a deep breath, then he again goes down. This time he reaches the bottom of the lake and takes a look at the shining thing.

"Hmmm, bingo I got the item, now let's collect it and go" he was thinking, this while he was underwater.
He suddenly noticed that there was another item, "hmm what's this thing" as he looked at that thing.
"Let's take it too. I can't wait here, let's go to the surface."
He took the items and put them in the inventory and swam toward the surface.
Sometime later.
He dressed up and said, " That's great that I found the most important, as I don't know if you can see this or not, I got the item that cures your mother, zero" he seems to look at the sky.
"Now I also have got this item from the lake. Wait, let's see what this is....."

He was shocked when seeing the item's description.
" What the...... Are my eyes or does this item look like a legendary rare item because I can't even see the item's description properly, my luck is pretty high right now..........." He was sitting under a tree and looking at the system screen.
He suddenly notices some strange sounds coming from the other side of the lake.
He quickly took cover by a tree, then he saw a large number of wolves come out from the other side of the lake.
"What the heck, why are these monsters here? Don't tell me? Is this another quest or something?"
As he continues to watch the monsters. Just don't pop up another quest. I can't make any sounds here if I make any noise. This could be my end, no matter how strong I get by killing those weaklings, but these wolves are not your normal kind of monster. I can just tell by the looks of these wolves they are strong. Let's just wait for an opportunity to leave this place."
As he cautiously stood there and waited for the opportunity, these wolves started to busy themselves drinking water from the lake. He saw this as an opportunity and tried to carefully leave the place. " Now it's time let's go."
He leaves the scene cautiously.
After he gets out of that place, "pew... It was quite scary... I just don't think this large number of wolf-type monsters will come out together. Are they going to war or something? Why are these wolves traveling together with that large number.....I don't understand a thing..... Zero's memories didn't say anything about this ....... Zero had no idea that this forest would be this dangerous. He thought that there would be monsters, but not at this level......"
He continues to find his way out of this forest, he continues to walk through the woods.
"These wolves were strong, but one of those wolves was particularly strange. I think that strange wolf would be the leader of that group, because when I was hidden there, even I could feel his presence of power"
"I hope that system didn't give me a quest where I have to kill this wolf because I'm not even no were strong like him" he's pointing towards that leader of wolves.
Sometime later.
He suddenly finds himself outside of this forest. " Huh wait, the trees are not as dense as before if that's the way out..... finally I will get out of this f*****g forest..." As he rushed towards that way.
He finally gets out of the forest.
"Now I'm finally out......now let's go to the village...." he saw roads there and continued to walk on that path.
"If I am on the right route, then it would take about two hours for me to reach the village."
He continues to Walk the Plath that leads towards the village.
He finally gets his way to the village.
"I am finally here. Why is this a small outside market? Hmmm, it's nice to see people...."
He saw a big boundary of wood covered around the village and there was an entrance to enter the main village.
He walked towards the entrance and entered the village without any problem.
"This is the village that zero lives in. Now where I will live as zero. Hmmm, what's the village name again........ I think it is called Hik-ka village... What a unique name for a village.....is it me or does it sound like a funny name?"
He continues walking around the village. He was quite shocked to see people walking around with swords, spears, and other weapons. He also gets excited that this is the beginning of a new journey in a new world.
"Now let's see where. Where is it in this direction or that? I don't quite remember hmmm" he said, it in his mind with an intense glance at his face as he remembered which direction it was.
However, when he was thinking, he suddenly realized that someone was calling him from behind.
"Zero, you are finally back. I was worried, are you okay? Are there any injuries? huh tell me quickly"
A man with low-rank knight armor on, aged around twenty or around that, also doesn't look quite strong.
Zero looked at him with intensity and tried to remember who this person was.
"ah I remember, he is the one who told zero how to get over the forest, and he also give zero a small sword that he lost while he was running from that wolf, I think his name was Beck......" he said this in his mind.
He continues to ask zero "tell me are you okay? or is there something that happened to you back in the forest....." with anxiety on his face.
" OK, hold on, you need to calm down okay.....first take a deep breath and then ask questions once at a time, okay.....now let's do this"
Beck nodded and took a deep breath, then he continued to ask.
"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Zero answered him " Yes I'm fine and didn't get hurt..."
Beck looked at him and said, "is that so, then why are your clothes like this?"
Zero suddenly notices that his clothes are completely messed up.
" Ah forgot about that, after so many attacks by the hobos and before I showed up, zero had already got attacked by a wolf, so right now my clothes are completely messed up." in his thoughts.
Zero answers him, "ah this is nothing, my clothes get this from falling, so don't worry about it. okay."
Beck glanced at him with doubt about the fact that zero was saying.
Zero saw his doubtful eyes and said " You don't believe me, OK, let me say it again. I'm fine, it's just my clothes just ripped off, got it."
Beck said, "Ok if you say so, but do you get what you try to find there?"
Zero answers him, "Yes, I found that."
Beck again asks him "what's it? Is it something to do with your mother's illness?"
zero answered him with an annoying face. " Yes, it's something about the illness."
Beck also mentioned that "I didn't tell your dad about the forest, so you also didn't tell him that I gave you the directions to the forest, okay"
Zero says " Oh, thanks for that, I'll do the same so don't worry about it."
" What's with this guy? Why is he asking me so many questions? I don't know if Zero was friendly with him or anything, hmmm.....is it because he worried about zero? All I know from Zero's early memories is that his personality is quite normal, he doesn't have any friends or any relatives other than his parents, and he doesn't talk much, so overall he is a quiet kid, and that's what I like about himself, I can act like him without any problems because I also like him in my past days"
He's remembering his past self. " In the orphanage, all the kids know each other. They play together, eat together and they look happy, but on the other hand, I'm not good at communicating with others, nor do I have any friends. Also, no one cares about me, no one approaches me with care, they just care about themselves, and it feels like I'm in an empty room filled with darkness, all alone in that room..."
after a moment of silence in his mind, "ah, forget the past, but now that I think about it, me and zero are quite similar to each other. Also, we both don't have girlfriends. I know that zero age, but at this age, kids fall in love or like girls, zero doesn't have this feeling."
Beck suddenly shouts at him "hey zero...... are you sure you are okay?"
Zero suddenly snapped out of this thinking "huh, what....what is it?"
Beck says "you were staring at the ground for a while......are you okay? What are you thinking about?"
Zero answered him with a smile. " Ah, nothing, it's just that I'm tired.
So don't worry about it."
Beck says "okay if you say so, ohh, I almost forgot, your father was looking for you at the second gate"
Zero answered him, " Okay, I'll do that."
" What could it be? Anyway, let's meet him" he's thinking these thoughts.
Beck also says that "before you meet him, I recommend washing up and changing clothes, because you don't look good now."
Zero answered with a smile." Yeah, I'll do that...thanks again for your help."
Zero says goodbye to Beck and heads towards the road.
Beck thinks while he sees zero walking to his house, "it's the first time he's talking to me this much and also my first time seeing him smiling. I think he happens to be happy because he found something that can help his mother. It feels strange to see a change in him like this, but I think it's for good." he leaves the scene with a smile.
