It's been a day. I've been wandering the forest, and I'm hungry. I haven't had a meal since I hatched and got thrown off a cliff yesterday.
Is that a slime?
Am I in some fancy world?
I guess I'm in a weird world, not Earth anymore.
But I've got to make the best of this new life.
The question is: can I eat a slime, and how do I kill it? Better yet, should I kill it?
It's kind of cute. It's about my size—two meters tall like me. Although, if I remember anything from my old life in novels, slimes are usually very resistant to physical attacks.
I don't think I have any fire breath.
So… how do I kill it?
Meanwhile…
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.
My internal dialogue was interrupted by a slap to my face.
WTF!
This slime… it hit me!
Oh, come on.
And now it has some backup. It apparently called its friends over somehow.
Now I'm surrounded by slimes.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap, slap.
I've been getting slapped for the last three hours, and I still can't figure out how to beat these slimes.
But I feel like I'm getting weaker, so I need to try something.
Let's see if grabbing and crushing the slime works.
POP!
Okay, so crushing the slime worked.
Rather than just impaling or using physical attacks, I can just pop the slime.
Let's deal with the rest of these slimes.
POP! POP! POP! POP!
Last ten slimes.
POP!
All done. What is this?
"Level up!
Host has gained the ability Resonant Talons. This ability bypasses the durability of slime-like creatures, allowing the Host to use his claws against said creatures.
Host has also gained the ability Ooze Nullification. This ability allows the Host to absorb impacts and damage from slime-like creatures, leaving no damage at all."
I… apparently can level up.
That's cool.
And I guess I have a system too.
Well, it's already getting dark. I should find a place to sleep.
Oh, look—a cave. I'll sleep there tonight.
Ahhh.
What a wonderful life.
Zzzzz.
To be continued…
