Iso has started to clear land for a tiny farm. It doesn't need to be much, just enough to tide him over while he figures out a plan for moving long range or securing some technology to help with his missing limb problem.
It is hard work, but from late spring to early summer, Iso is able to reliably feed himself with berries and wild vegetables while scratching out his farm. It grows easily in the fertile jungle soil, in fact keeping the encroaching wild plants is a nearly full time job.
Between weeding sessions, Iso is able to start building some extra rooms onto his house. They might be crude wooden log structures leaned against this old concrete ruin from ages past, but it works. This dark dirty area will become his crafting space, after winter comes and there isn't much to do outside.
The labor of a one armed, one legged man is very slow going. It has taken almost a month to get this far, but Iso's will is iron and he has no second thoughts about his work.
Finally, the first harvest of rice grass is ready. It doesn't have the most calories but it grows fast and a stockpile is needed for the cold months ahead. Iso takes a few days to build a little outbuilding to store the dry grain.
And just like that, a friend appears from the dark jungle. Chang is from a nearby village which was destroyed in a raid by bandits. She is seeking a safe place to stay just for a few days. Iso is happy to accept the help. A gap must be cut to separate the thick jungle from the huts, to prevent a single wildfire from destroying it all.
Just in time, too. A hostile raider appears later the same day.
