It was about three days walk back to where my house was supposed to be. Didn't bother to hitchhike, thought it might be a good way to ease myself of stress after the firing squad of what had just happened. Packed some of my camp cooking supplies in my car, but that got all burned out. So it'd be bland venison for me. Happy I carried that single tent, too. Rained just a little bit on my way down.

But then I arrive where I know that cabin is, and there ain't nothing but a couple of trees and some dog shit. Apparently the one thing that smoke man failed to mention is that not finding the killer would also take my house or something. Grow trees in its place. Hell, I haven't got the slightest clue what's going on now. Figured I'd wander around the area, see if any neighbors were around. Found some people, but they weren't my damn neighbors. Lived in different cabins with different styles and builds. Different cars, different names. It's like I had fallen out of place somewhere, not a single person recognized me in town. Credit card worked fine, but not much else did. Figures that the money would be the one thing to stay the same.

Didn't quite have the cash in my account to get a new beater. Even if I did, there were no promises that it would be in the same place I parked it after the smoke guy comes back. If he comes back. 

Returning from the previous exploits, i was suffering several imperfections. It was imperative to utilise the medical facilities of the area in order to restore full functionality. 

This process was long and required a large assortment of body healing procedures. 

The time period required to return systems to full functional parameters was not un used. This time period was spent squirting and investigating several data networks. These data sources revealed several sources and sub sources of information. Analysing this information has provided an understanding of the societal fears of entities with the qualities of myself. There are several ficticous video presentations displaying the dangers of mechanised humanoid entities. 

There are also several information networks presenting theorised conceptualisation of extra dimensional travel. Whilst in important in advancing the quality of my endeavours it is an interesting discovery.

Once finalising the time period of medical rejeuvenation, i returned to my abode. This domicile is in a state of ordered quality, the important and repetitively required assets are in the most accessible locations. My research is evolving in quality, i have managed to locate several data sources, networks and external information sources all of which will assist in the gathering of pertinent data. 

I have managed to access several systems for the acquisition and increase not of equity, by utilising the currency flow of independent corporations depositing are retrieving equity from the conceptualised value of these businesses. The simplicity of the monetary system has allowed ease of aquirance of monetary funds. 

Chefs Journal Addendum Chapter 1:

In accordance of our deal, the person that invited me into this whole thing placed me in a time locked area and gave me as much potatoes, tofu, and radishes to keep chopping up, slowly building up my dexterity for cutting evenly and accurately while doing it extremely fast as well. I also used this as a way to exercise a little and increase my ability to manipulate my hands better and run better when escaping from ingredients or chasing after ingredients. Funny enough, the man didn't seem to realize or maybe he already has but being exposed to this time locked enviroment allowed me to start cultivating. I can now retain Spiritual qi from the air as use it to augment my body. I am currently at Qi Condensation realm and ill soon be entering foundation establishment. Hopefully, as time passes, ill be able to grow more and stronger.
