For the whole day, Dean kept searching and killing blue slime. However, he cannot find that many because many people went hunting the blue slime. He ended the day with only 30 blue slime killed. He got 30 blue slime core, 27 blue pillow and 16 blue slime soul.
Dean was walking back and viewed his hauled for the day. He was smiling because it was not a bad hauled. He failed to find many blue slimes but he got lots of blue pillow and blue slime soul.
Before he went back to his room, Dean went to sell his blue pillow. He kept 10 blue pillows for himself and sold the leftover. Due to the high demanded of blue pillow, Dean able to make some good money.
Dean was walking when he saw people crowding the road.
"Something happen?" Dean went to the crowd and saw what had happened. A blonde hair guy was fighting a group of 10 peoples. The blonde guy calmly fighting the ten guys and when he got the chance, he cruelly beat them senseless.
Everyone was watching the scene but no one tried to stop that blonde guy. Dean was a peace-loving guy and cannot stand watching what happen. He tried to stop them but Sys stopped him.
'Dean, don't' Sys stopped Dean before he went to stop them. 'This is not something that you can interfere. I know you are not fond of fighting and especially this kind of fight but the world is not as simple as you thought. I told you before that this is a dangerous place. If you are too nice, you won't be able to survive here'
Dean heard everything Sys said and decided not to interfere. He was weak and if he interfered, he will be the one who got hurt. If he wanted to stop something like this, he needed to become stronger.
"I am Roarn Isaac. Starting today, you are part of my group," said the blonde guy. Everyone who saw this gasped when they heard the blonde guy's name.
"Roarn! He is from Roarn family!" one of the people around said.
"Can I join your group too?" someone from the crowd suddenly asked and then suddenly everyone around offered to join Isaac's group. Dean was shocked with what he saw people around him did.
There was a reason why everyone around suddenly offered to be in the same group as Isaac. Roarn family was one of the four great family on Earth. The four great family strength only below the royal family. Each family have their own strength.
Roarn family was hailed as the family with immense strength. Their compatibility usually connected to something that boasted high powered strength. The Roarn family usually led the fight on the frontline whenever a war with demon happened.
Before Dean went inside the first dimension, he heard someone from the main Roarn family will enter the first dimension at the same time as him. He remembered the guy name was Roan Isaac. He never thought the guy will be at the same camp as him.
Dean knew about their strength and before he awakened, his family always told him to join the group that the Roarn family created. When Dean saw a Roarn family member was here, he wanted to join the group too but he knew that was impossible.
Dean left the crowd and went back to his room. "Sigh~ I want to join his group too," said Dean with disappointed face.
'Dean, you don't need to join that guy group. You can become as strong as him' Sys tried to persuade Dean.
"I know. Don't need to worry about me," said Dean while smiling. Dean went to take showers and sat on his bed. He pulled out all the blue pillow he saved for himself and put it on his bed. On his bed now had the white pillows from the normal slime and blue pillows from the blue slime.
Dean took out one of the blue slime cores he got and absorb the data. There were 10 data inside and he needed 10 minutes to absorb every data inside the core. Ten minutes later, he finished absorbing the data.
'What do you want to increase?' asked Sys.
"I think I want to be an all-rounder," said Dean and he used the data to increase his stats a little bit on every stat. His data collection for normal grade monsters were 14/100.
Dean took out the blue slime soul he got and started to absorb it too. For a normal grade monster soul, absorbing it will increase a stat by 1 point. Dean used the blue slime soul and increased his vitality by 1. His vitality increased from 0.3 to 1.3.
After he finished everything, he took out the money he got for selling the blue pillow.
"Hmm~ should I buy a new weapon or armor?" asked Dean. The money only enough for him to buy only one equipment.
'Armor obviously. You are only making a different color slime for the next few weeks. You can easily hunt them down with your current knife. Armor will protect your body from unwanted danger' said Sys.
"Ok, I will buy armor. I also think that is for the best," Dean was thinking for something and asked Sys. "Sys, I already upgrade my slime core to elite grade, does that mean it is possible for me to create an elite grade slime?"
'Yes, you can but I advices you not doing it' said Sys.
"Why?" asked Dean.
'Collect 100 slime soul and you can upgrade the slime soul. Once the core and the soul being upgrade, slime with elite grade will start appearing' said Sys.
"Wait, the creation system work like that too?" Dean was shocked to hear that he can easily upgrade the grade of monster in the wild, however, "But Sys, getting 100 soul for a monster that not my creation will take a long time," said Dean realizing the problem.
'Then, you can just recreate the monster' said Sys casually.
"I can do that too?" Dean was shocked again.
'Yes, you can. Use the blue slime core and change to blue color to colorless and you create your common slime' Dean mouth was opened wide. That never crossed his mind.
"The creation system is a total cheat," said Dean.
'Now you know' said Sys.
"How did I get the creation system? Is it the colorless marble I found before? I can't find it anywhere anymore. Also, Sys. What is he? Is Sys a part of the system or is Sys a completely different being? He might really be part of the system since he can't fight the system and he said he is part of me and my system is part of me too…"
While thinking about all of that, Dean fell asleep. The next few days, Dean went hunting for the blue slime. The situation was the same since too many people were hunting them. It took Dean 3 days to collect 100 blue slime soul and upgrade the soul and core of the blue slime to elite grade.
Spring 6 – Month 1 – Year 2001
'Blue slime upgrade to elite grade complete' Sys notified Dean with his computerized voice. Dean was in his room and read the notification.
'Dean, do you want to check the elite grade blue slime stats?' asked Sys.
"I can do that too?" asked Dean back.
'The blue slime is your creation and of course you can view their stats' said Sys.
"Then show me," said Dean. Sys opened the system and showed Dean the upgrade version of the blue slime. When the stats appeared, Dean can see the picture of the elite grade blue slime. The blue color was a bit darker and it was slightly big than the normal grade.
Name: Blue Slime
Grade: Elites
Skill: Bounce – attack 3, speed 3
Item Drop: blue pillow (common), bounce skill book (rare)
"Whoa! My slime can use skill now? Amazing!" Dean was happy to see that the blue slime now can defend themselves. "That means I can finally get to use my own skill! I can really fight now!" Dean was so excited with this new development.
'Don't be too happy, Dean. Elite grade means the blue slime is much stronger now and with skill at their disposal, they will prove to be difficult for the current you' Sys warned Dean.
"So, does that mean I don't stand any chance to defeat it right now?" asked Dean.
'Unfortunately, yes. You need to increase your stat at least until 2 before you can think of defeating the elite monster' advised Sys.
"And I need better equipment too. My current equipment is good against normal grade monster but it is not enough for elite grade monster," Dean also realized his problem.
"But Sys, how can I detect which one is the elite grade? Although they were darker and slightly bigger unless they are in group then it will be possible to differentiate. If the slime is by itself, it will be hard to recognize," Dean told Sys his worry.
'Leave it to me Dean'
