My mind was forming images right in front of my eyes, and I felt as if someone was present on the island.
When I stepped out of the boat, I felt as though someone had run away.
I followed in that direction to chase them, but there was no one there.
Then I noticed a fish lying nearby, killed in a very horrifying manner.
It seemed as if some kind of demon had eaten it.
I tried to calm myself and spoke quietly to myself,
"Goku, calm down."
At that moment, I felt like roasting the fish and eating it.
I gathered pieces of wood and dry leaves and searched for stones that were strong and could help start a fire quickly.
I rubbed the stones together for a long time, and after much effort, the fire finally ignited.
For the first time, I felt so much happiness from the fire that I gathered even more dry leaves and wood.
By the time I finished collecting everything, the fire had weakened,
but I still did not let it go out.
As the night grew darker, the sea level began to rise.
Within a short time, the water came very close, so I returned and sat in the boat.
I was feeling extremely cold.
The night passed with great difficulty.
My body began to tremble.
In the quiet night, the sound of the water and the wind felt very strange.
I had no experience of living such a life, and I was very afraid.
As soon as morning arrived, I tried to light the fire again.
I tried using the stones for some time, but the fire would not start.
I felt very angry, but then I thought that today I should explore the island.
I started walking forward, and ahead of me was a small forest.
I entered the forest. I had gone only a short distance inside when it began to feel extremely dense.
I felt uneasy, but I still continued walking forward.
From inside the forest, I suddenly heard the sound of a girl laughing.
"Haaaaaa… haaaaa haaaaaaa… haaaaa…"
I thought to myself who could possibly be on such a deserted island.
At the same time, I began to feel afraid.
I followed the sound of the laughter.
As I got closer, I hid behind a tree.
While hiding, I saw a very beautiful girl.
Seeing her, I began to feel drawn toward her.
Suddenly, an insect bit my hand.
I screamed loudly.
"Aaaaaaaaa!"
I felt intense pain.
Hearing my scream, the girl became frightened and ran away.
The pain in my hand was extremely severe, as if a poisonous insect had bitten me.
I was about to fall, but the girl noticed me as I was collapsing.
I lost consciousness.
When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying near the edge of a lake.
On the spot where the insect had bitten me, some kind of herbal medicine had been applied.
Even then, there was still some pain in my hand.
After some time, the girl returned with some fruits.
From a distance, when she saw that I was sitting up, she threw the fruits toward me and ran away.
I felt weakness inside my body.
I ate the fruits and lay down there again.
It felt as if my body still wanted to rest.
After eating the fruits, I became sleepy and fell asleep there.
When I opened my eyes, night had fallen again.
Somehow, I managed to return to my boat.
I was feeling extremely tired, and I was also very hungry.
I climbed into my boat and noticed a small fish inside it.
I immediately ate it raw.
After eating, I fell asleep again, and at the same time, I was begging the one above for death.
While falling asleep, I kept thinking that I wanted to die soon, because I could no longer bear so much suffering.
I pleaded with God that when I slept at night, I would sleep forever and never wake up again.
Thinking all this, I slowly drifted into sleep.
Zzzzzzzz… Zzzzzzzz…
That night, I had another dream in which I had become extremely powerful.
In my dream, I saw a very strange fish, glowing in light yellow and light red colors.
That fish gave me immense strength and told me about a cave hidden deep inside the forest.
The fish told me that inside the cave there would be a very powerful white-colored snake.
It said that if I defeated that snake, I would become the most powerful being in the entire world.
Hearing all this, I felt extremely happy.
But when I opened my eyes in the morning, I was still the same ordinary human.
However, I made a fishing rod to catch fish.
Using that fishing rod, I began to fish.
After some time, a fish appeared, and the moment I saw it, I remembered my dream.
It was exactly the same fish I had seen in my dream.
As soon as I pulled the fish into the boat, the boat suddenly became very heavy.
The boat was about to sink, but just in time, I threw the fish out of the boat.
Even then, I did not let the fish escape.
I dragged the entire fish out onto the shore.
At that moment, a very intense light emerged from inside the fish.
The brightness was so strong that it could not be seen with the naked eye.
Then, right before me, the fish transformed into a beautiful young woman.
I could not believe my eyes.
I said, "Who are you, and how did you turn from a fish into a human?"
"You are so beautiful that anyone would be enchanted just by looking at you.
But who are you, and what do you want?"
Then the fish spoke.
"I know everything about you—how you came here and why you are here.
All of this was meant to happen. I was testing you."
"I have been waiting for you for the past fifty years."
"You are not an ordinary human.
You are a great warrior."
