I thought it was gonna hurt to move my insides around, but it didn't. It felt very weird. When I swallowed the slime I could feel it go into my body as it was being absorbed. I felt every single bit of it. It felt very nasty. Not because it was a slime, but because it went all around the insides of my body. I don't want to describe the feeling that much. It's just gross.
My stomach was sliced open, but I wasn't missing any parts of it. I could probably close it or something like that. All the stomach does is digest stuff right?. I could probably just make a hole in my body to easily put food in my stomach. Eating is overrated. I'll also split my tongue in half so I could talk, but taste food in my stomach at the same time.
I had just decided on what I wanted to do and put my plan into action. As I moving my stomach closer to the outside of my body I realized something. I have a skill called Absorption don't I?
"Absorption Skill description, please!!"
[Absorption Lvl 1(passive):When something is entered into User's body it will be absorbed and turned into nutrients and energy that sustains User's life. If slime skill is absorbed User will begin to learn it.]
"Perfect!!"
I remembered to keep quiet this time. I really wanted to yell out, but I used all the strength in my body to keep quiet. I was very happy with how the skill worked. It was basically a powerful stomach! I didn't need my stomach now because it was basically useless. My Absorption Skill completely replaced it! The only problem was that I couldn't control it.
*If User levels skill to next level it will become an active skill. User can level skill by collecting slime points. Slime points are gained by killing slimes. Amount of points earned per slime depends on slime's strength. 50 slime points are required to increase level 1 to level 2.*
'YESSSSSS!!!'
I yelled my excitement inwardly. The system gave me a solution to my problem and that solution was to kill slimes. If killing slimes was the answer to all my problems I would be with the Great Slime right now in Slime Oasis Tier 100. I developed a plan to solve my stomach problem. It was simple, all I needed to do was level up Absorption and absorb my stomach!
That may sound weird, but it's not. If I absorb my stomach then I have more room in my body to experiment with Organ Manipulation. I might be able to move my brain into my stomach area now! It didn't fit last time I tried. My Absorption and Organ Manipulation skills bring no harm to my body, unless I intentionally try to do so.
I stood up. My stomach was hurting, but I ignored it. It wasn't that much pain because I was holding my stomach closed using Organ Manipulation. I headed over to the slime village to see if any of them returned. 5 slimes were stupid enough to come back. They saw me injured and thought I was an easy target. Did they forget, I would kill slimes even if it meant I was going to die. Well they probably didn't know that.
They used their basic slime shot at me. I didn't slice through it this time. There attacks were weak and I wanted to find out if I could absorb this skill. I opened my mouth as the slime flew towards me. I would include sound effects, but I don't want to describe it. Some slime landed in my mouth. It was gross, but I already began absorbing it.
[1/10 Slime Shot Learned]
So that's how it works. If I didn't have Absorption I would need to kill a bunch of slimes and hope to get skill fragments. Since I have Absorption I can absorb the skill as well. With this, I have two ways to get skill fragments. The first way is slower, but with both ways I can learn slime skills quicker. Hopefully you understand because I don't feel like explaining anymore, I have slimes to kill.
The slimes didn't have any reaction to me eating them or taking the hit. They just continued using slime shot. The slimes were low-level so the only attacking skill they had was slime shot. Unfortunately for them I'm use to getting hit with these and they do no damage. I grabbed my sword and dashed towards the slimes.
"Zendu Slash!!"
My blade slid through all the slimes perfectly. I felt no fatigue or pain because of Slime Sensation.
[Slimes Killed. 5 Slime Points have been Earned. 3/10 Slime Shot Skill Learned]
The Absorption level 2 required 50 SL.P(slime points) and I only had 5. I'd have to kill a lot of slimes if I want to get my Absorption to the next level. Maybe I should hunt a higher level slime. I walked around and killed 3 more slimes before leaving the River of Swog. I probably already mentioned this before, but I know a cave that houses a Rank 2 Slime. I don't feel like telling you what happened last time I fought it. It's kind of embarrassing.
The cave didn't have a name, but it was located in the same forest I'm in now. You probably already guessed the name of this forest, but I'll tell you anyway. Swog is a giant forest that contains monsters ranging from Rank 1 to Rank 3.
Rank is based on the strength of the monster. Rank 1 is that of an easily killable slime while Rank 2 is a big slime that can over power normal people. Rank 3 would be a slime that can duplicate and is really big. The list continues until Rank 10. The gaps between strength of the ranks aren't that big. There are only big gaps for slimes because I came up with their ranks.
The hunter rank goes with how strong they are compared to those monsters. Since I'm Rank 5 I'm suppose to be strong enough to kill Rank 5 monsters, but I screwed up the ranking system because I only hunted slimes. I'm probably Rank 2 in reality and I had just recognized how freaking weak I am. This forest is considered easy, but I still run into some challenges like those Froxes every once and a while which sucks.
…
I reached the cave safely and I went inside without hesitating. I knew this cave well because it wasn't my first time here. The skeletons tried to attack me, but I avoided them. I really couldn't wait to fight that slime. I needed revenge! The cave was stinky as always and I had to cover my nose. When I got to the slime's territory I pulled out my sword.
"WANT SOME OF THIS-"
SLOSH!! SLOSH!!
I was about to insult the slime, but I was interrupted by the big slimes loud sticky and gross sloshy sounds. I like slimes, but I still think they should lay low on there weird bodily sounds. I stood in my Zendu stance like I practiced. I have been waiting to fight this slime for a long time.
"GIVE ME SATISFACTION!!!" I yelled as I dashed towards the slime.
The slime looked at me retardedly and shot out a slime ball. I anticipated this move and dodged. The slime ball hit the wall behind me and I got a clean hit on my enemy. It separated into two pieces, but before they merged I-
"BLOW!!"
I used my weak wind skill and broke the slime into smaller pieces. It was still alive, but it would take much longer for it to merge. I walked over to it and pulled out one of the bottles I use for carrying slime liquids. I also put my water in here when I'm thirsty, but that's not important right now. I scooped up some of its slime and filled up the bottle. I then used another Zendu slash and cut up the slimes body once more.
[Slime Killed. 10 Slime Points Earned. 1/10 Slime Shot Learned. 1/15 Body Duplication Learned.]
"I WIN YOU STUPID SLIME!!!"
I started dancing or something that resembled dancing as a celebration. As I was putting away my sword I felt something around my leg. No it wasn't Slime Sensation overwhelming my body. It was another slime and it was small. I've never seen a slime this small. It was the size of my foot that it was wrapping around. It was probably that slime ball that was shot at me earlier. The only thing different wasn't that is was small. It was also very cute.
"A cute slime!!"
I thought they were a myth. I didn't know they actually existed. I have been killing slimes for a very long time and I never came across such a rare occurrence! I'm so happy, but I think it is to small to give me the slime sensation. I picked up the slime and looked into its eyes. It wasn't retarded! Other slimes have retarded faces, but this one looked smarter. Maybe slimes begin to lose their intelligence when they get bigger. Maybe I was smarter when I was a child.
I put the slime on my head and used Organ Manipulation in order to hold it there. I didn't want to kill this slime. I wanted a companion that I could kill other slimes with. If the Great Slime Lord wants me to kill slimes maybe cute slimes don't care if I do it either. I needed to think of a name for my new friend. I took it off my head and looked into its eyes again. It stared at me. It was shaking weirdly, probably from excitement like me.
"Are you a boy or a girl?" I asked
"..."
First I needed to establish a gender for the slime in order to give it a name. But The cute slime was quite rude and didn't answer my question.
"I'm gonna assume your gender if you don't tell me!" I said sharply.
"..."
I spoke in a strict tone and the slime still didn't listen to me. I probably need to learn slime language.
*User has 5/10 of Slime Communication Skill. User can use Slime Points to fully learn skill. 5 points for every skill fragment.*
Well I can't afford it right now because I only have 18 points and I'm going to use those for Absorption. Which reminds me, I need to focus on getting rid of my stomach. 'Getting Rid of My Stomach' Why does everything I say sound weird?
I put the genderless cute baby slime on my head again and left the cave while avoiding skeletons. As I was passing by the skeletons, I remembered my thoughts from my battle with the Froxes. I need to fight other monsters in order to become more powerful. With that power I can hunt slimes safely or hunt more powerful slimes.
"Can I get slime points from hunting other monsters."
*User cannot get points from killing monsters other than slimes. User can not get skills from killing monsters other slimes. User can only use Absorption skill to absorb other monsters and possibly learn their skills. Skills will only be learned from other monsters if they can also be used by a slime.*
Well that makes sense, this is the Slime Hunter System after all. I wasn't disappointed because I liked killing slimes. I might start killing other monsters if I'm out in a dangerous situation though.
I left the cave and headed to Slime Heaven Tier 2. I was happy to see that the slimes had returned to the village. The genderless slime on my head started to move weirdly after seeing the village. I picked up the cute slime and looked at it. I wasn't able to focus on it's eyes like I always did because it was too focused on the village.
"What's up with you?" I asked.
"..!"
It was scared. I didn't understand its movements, but I knew what this shaking meant. It wasn't excited to see the other slimes, it was scared.
"Don't worry I'll kill them all."
It started to shake again and it almost broke free from my grasp. It was so happy that I was going to kill the slime village! I placed it on my head and used Organ Manipulation to keep it there. I didn't run into the slime village like I usually did and decided to attack with the blow skill.
The slimes were caught by surprise and I was able to follow up my skill with some Zendu slashes. Bits of slime flew everywhere during my assault. I ate the slime balls that flew in my direction and I didn't let any hit the cute slime on my head.
[Required Number of Skill Fragments for Slime Shot.]
*Gained Skill: Slime Shot Lvl 1(passive). Read Skill Description for more information.*
I got a new skill, but I didn't have any time to dance. There were 9 slimes left and I wanted Slime Sensation.
"Zendu Slash!!! Zendu Slash!!! Zendu Sla-"
I shouted my attacks as I killed the slimes. As I was completing my third attack I recognized one of the low-level slimes had a monster core.
Slime Village Chief!
It was definitely the leader of the slimes and it was slightly bigger. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle though. I eat slimes like that for dinner! I don't really, it's just an expression. I sprinted towards it while Zendu slashing the remaining normal slimes. I jumped in the air and slashed downward toward the monster core within the Chief Slime.
"HiYah!!"
The Chief Slime was no match for my power and it died very quickly. The liquids dissolved into the ground, but I was able to get the broken monster core. The core had a bluish hue to it and was cut almost perfectly in half. I'm so awesome! My slashes are so perfect! I kept one piece of the monster core and put the other in my mouth. It didn't taste bad, I might eat the other half later.
[Slimes Killed. 20 Slime Points Earned. 5/10 Core Formation Skill Learned.]
Sadly I had only killed 15 slimes. I needed 12 more SL.P. I guess Chief Slime gave me 6 points because it had a core. Why do I even need to absorb my stomach. It isn't causing any problems for me other than taking up space.
*User wanted to access Slime Goals.*
Oh! I want Slime Goals. I want a guide to finding powerful slimes and hunting them with the use of the system. The system wanted me to recover before giving me any goals. I needed some more points. I picked up the cute slime off of my head and looked at it. It was so adorbable! I couldn't kill it even if I wanted to.
The cute slime was so excited that if I didn't know any better, I'd think it was trying to break free from me. After a few "seconds" the slime didn't shake with excitement and just looked downward. It looked a little sad for some reason. I didn't think too much into it because its cute face distracted me.
…
After putting the cute slime(which I still haven't named) back onto my head, I walked a little further down the river. I came across more slimes which I killed. I still feel Slime Sensation I just don't feel like describing it to you every time. The feeling never gets old though.
[Slimes Killed. 6 Slime Points Earned.]
I was walking for a little bit longer this time. My throat felt a little dry, but I had no water that I wanted to drink around. I was drinking the water from the river earlier, but I got bored of its nasty taste. I pulled out my bottle I use for drinking and looked at the slime inside. Oh yeah I just learned Slime Shot awhile ago.
I used slime shot and compared it to the slime in the bottle. The slime that came out was a little in amount, but it went pretty far. It also came out of my mouth. The slime in the bottle was green, but the little amount of slime that came out my mouth was black.
"Why is my slime black!? And why does it come out of my mouth!?"
*User has Poisonous Body. Slime is made with excess nutrients that was stored up in the body. Where else would you want the slime to shoot out?*
I began thinking other places in my body where the slime could be released. My ears, my nose, and... other parts of my body wouldn't be as useful as my mouth. This would be a problem if I didn't have Organ Manipulation. Yay for Organ Manipulation! I never thought moving my organs would be so useful and fun!
"I'll make a hole in my hand!"
*User will now be able to use Slime Shot out of the hand.*
"YEAAH!!"
Is wasn't that exciting, but I haven't yelled my excitement out in a while. I don't know what happens when I combine my poisonous slime with a normal slime. After thinking that I had remembered there was a cute slime on my head. I guess I can test it out on the cute one later, for now I have to kill more slimes!
I only needed to kill 6 more slimes. It wasn't hard to find them and I finished getting my SL.P. They were more River Slimes that came out to attack me. They didn't know of my power and underestimated me. I was going to use Slime Shot, but I wanted to feel the beautiful sensation. I'm probably now a notorious slime killer among the River Slimes. Every time I killed a slime the cute one on my head would shake weirdly. I don't actually know why it's shaking, but I'll just say it's excited.
[Slimes Killed. 6 Slime Points Earned.]
"WAHOO!"
I'm running out of ways to express my happiness. After receiving the points I immediately used them to upgrade Absorption.
*Absorption Skill has increased in level. Read Skill Description for new details.*
I didn't need to read the skill description. I immediately absorbed my stomach. It felt very weird to be missing a stomach, but Absorption also acts like a stomach so I didn't die. My body rearranged itself because of the missing stomach.
Since I don't have a stomach the digestive system is useless right? I absorbed my intestines and other parts of the digestive system. After everything was absorbed I used my Manipulation to close up areas I didn't need and used the extra mass to feel up some of the excess space. The little one on my head was surprised to see this, but I paid no attention to it because-
*Slime Hunter Rank increased. Slime Missions Available.*
