When the slime spat another Fireball, Jake understood that he couldn't dodge it since he was only ten meters away from it. However, he had enough time to move his sword and protect his face while blocking the attack. The impact increased the heat around Jake's body, but he lost only two points of health. Before the slime could try to shoot another, Jake swung his sword downward with all his might, and while the weapon easily pierced the monster's body, it didn't kill it. Only now Jake could see a core, and he had missed that one.
The slime began to emit even more heat than before due to the pain, but Jake finished the creature by using Bash
You obtained 02 coins.
Jake waited for a drop to appear, but he didn't see anything while the fire slime was evaporating. It was a pity, but there was no point in thinking about that since he could see another one approaching.
"Let's see… move the sword forward a little bit should decrease the damage I will receive," Jake muttered.
Jake stretched his arms a little bit, but then when the second target used Fireball, he blocked the attack with the tip of his sword by reflex, he couldn't help but feel impressed with himself, but there was no time for that. When he got close enough to the next slime, he used Bash while aiming at the core, and this time, he hit it.

"Phew… this is fun even though it is a bit tiresome," Jake said.
Jake noticed that he felt that way probably because of the heat in the area and the fact that he used his stamina. The technology of the helmet was really something since it could make him feel like that. Putting that aside, Jake noticed that using his stamina all the time won't do. His regeneration was just too slow…

"For the time being, I am fine, but there is nothing preventing the weapon from suffering damage," Jake thought. "In any case, I just need to kill twenty three more slimes to obtain Bash."

Jake's health, mana, and stamina bar were on the left upper corner of his vision, but the timing of the mission was on the right one. He had plenty of time to hunt, but he couldn't always fight while giving the slimes the chance to attack first, so he decided to leave the village and then sneak around to attack them. However, before he could find it, he found two spikes blocking his away, and another came from the right side. While they came one at a time, it seemed that they came straight to him.
"This is weird, but… Oh!" Jake exclaimed in excitation when he found a shield on the place where the last slime fell.
You obtained the Round Shield.
Durability: 15/15
Skill: Pain Resistance (0%) master this item to obtain the skill permanently.
"I was expecting a fire Resistance, but I guess it would be too much to wait for such a convenient thing so soon," Jake thought. "Nevertheless, this will do."
As long as Jake masters the shield and then learns the skill, he won't mind breaking it by blocking the Fireballs one after the other. When Jake left the village, he finally left the smoke behind, but he didn't see many different things around. He saw trees and grass burning everywhere… It was quite a weird sight considering that such a mission was supposed to be the first for newcomers. Usually, the first regions are supposed to give a feeling of wonder and fantasy, but in that case, the word pandemonium came to mind since Jake could see numerous slimes leaving a trace of flames with their bodies.
In any case, there was a grove that was intact a few meters ahead, but Jake didn't want to go there since he had a weird feeling when he wasn't looking at it. Jake decided to fight the slimes that were North of his current position, but then someone appeared in that grove. It was a girl who was wearing a set of sweat pants and a shirt. She was blond and had shoulder-length hair. Her weapon was a wand… she seemed quite pretty from far away, but the fact that she was waving her hands as if she was asking to come made him decide to ignore her.
While one couldn't change his image inside the game, Jake wasn't interested in making friends anytime soon, even less with girls who clearly wanted to make good use of their appearance to have an easy time inside the game.
"Don't ignore me," the girl said. "At least show some manners and say that you want to play alone!"
Jake stopped due to the shock. While he could ignore a pretty woman's appearance, he was quite weak against sweet voices and sexy accents, and much to his surprise, that girl had both. The sound of her voice made Jake feel like he was slowly tasting the sweetest of the nectars. Jake could imagine himself melting if he heard her voice while trying to be gentle instead of angry.
