The next morning, Ash woke up feeling a lot better after finally getting a good night's sleep.
There were no more scorpions or tiny desert rats suddenly sneaking into his tent. He no longer worried about desert storms or encountering monsters that would be hard to deal with.
Most importantly, he had taken a shower, something he hadn't been able to do for nearly two weeks.
After breakfast, he went back to sleep and didn't wake up until late afternoon.
Jagu stayed by his side the whole time, only occasionally waking up to stretch its back.
After lunch, he lay down again, scrolling through his Inventory.
As he opened the list of items inside, he sighed and muttered, "So many items. Luckily, some of them are consumable."
