Alpha have already learned all six basic elements, and gained all sorts of skills, and It was about time for him to leave the safe zone, He's only regret was not increasing his dexterity
His previous attempt to get a title or a skill related to it by running around really fast didn't work
The only option he has left is to increase it by leveling up, so he stood up full of confidence, ready to leave the safe zone for good
But the mask spoke "I was wondering, aren't you hungry? I'm pretty sure I saw you only eating one slime core"
At that point, alpha came to a realization, he was starving! by the next moment, he fel to the ground unconscious
"Sometimes, I don't know if he's a genius or an idiot, how can he not remember to eat? now I have no other choice but to wait for him to wake up!"
After a few hours of good sleep, alpha finally work up, but the first thing he felt, was the hunger
That hunger felt as if it was eating him from the inside out, he was so scared and didn't know what to do, he could only press at his stomach and scream
Luckily the mask was there, and she reminded him that he have a lot of slime cores in his DDB
and He immediately grabbed one, cracked it open, and shoved it in his mouth, then he grabbed another one, and another one, until he remembered he can cook them
He calmed himself and sat down properly, then created a fireball and placed one core in it, after a minute or so, he turned off the fire and opened the core, it was cooked enough, but the smell emitted from it was even worst than the uncooked one
He didn't want to believe that the uncooked food was better than the cooked one, he thought the problem was only in the smell, so he blocked his nose and ate it
It was not! The taste was a 100 times worst than the smell, if not for the [fool eater] , he would have already threw up more than once
He didn't have much of a choice, so he just ate a few more cores without cooking them, then left the safe zone
He went looking for more slimes to level up, when he found one, he started thinking of what would be the best method of killing it
he can just smash it with his hands, but it would be gross, so he got close to it then shot a wind bullet
If it couldn't hit from a distance, then it should work from up close, although it did hit the slime, but it missed his core
Alpha had to shoot a few more times before he could hit him, but when he did the slime died with one shot
It was an extremely inefficient way of doing things, but he really needed to improve his aiming abilities
He went around, finding slimes, and killing them with the same method, while putting their cores in his DDB
eventually, his level increased by 4 reaching LV 15, giving him 12 extra SP
although his target was to increase his dexterity, he still wanted to regain more of his memories, so he split the points and put 6 in his dexterity and 6 in his intelligence, ending up with:
STR: 45 (30+50%)
VIT : 54 (30+80%)
DEX: 36
INT : 317 (122+160%)
" Wow! Not bad! At this rate, I will be able to hit and kill whatever target I want! no matter how far it is or how strong it is, and soon enough I will regain all of my lost memories!"
Alpha was really optimistic about his progress, but the mask had other things to say
" Heh! Easier said than done! Just to make it clear, from now on you'll have to kill at least eight slimes before you level up, Good luck with that, with your horrible aiming skills, who knows how long it will take?"
It would definitely take a long time to reach a really high level, but, what alpha was unaware of, was that this dungeon had more than just one floor.
