Also, what do you mean with by my profession? If it's like a job or classes in games, there's no need to ask Sistem Lady. No matter what, my decision won't change. When I reach the required level, you can choose for me.
Of course, I will be a magician!
Eren had read and watched enough of Earth's science-fiction and fantasy fiction. And as incredible as it would be, to be a Warrior or Berserker on the battlefield, magic was his weak spot, like any Earthling.
"I also need a white beard and cool white clothes. Hahaha..."
He was already seeing a beautiful future in his head when he could throw burning meteorites from the sky.
..
While waiting for Emily to arrive, she looked around for other Slimes. He even found one, but he didn't kill it right away. Eren stood with her back against a tree, where he could watch the Slime from afar. Then he whispered.
"Profile"
He looked at all his base stats on the screen that popped up and fixed on a spot that had caught his eye since the last level up.
[Agility : 9 + 1 > 10 (Requires 1 Evon Stat Points)]
[Do you confirm?]
"Yes."
Eren didn't feel any change. Maybe he was actually correcting the deficiencies in his body until his base stats were above 10, and Eren was so physically handicapped until yesterday that these improvements were making him a healthy person. He wasn't sure.
If he had seen the details of his body numerically before, he would think how bad his body was and gone into a depressive mode. But now that he is in a magical universe and has a chance to change everything, his mood was very high.
[Congratulations. Agility: 10]
He took a deep breath and stared at the distant Slime, wondering how the creatures' stats change as they level up. Do they evolve by a single "point" like the normal creatures of this world?
He took a few steps and killed the little Level 1 Slime with a single knife strike.
[You took the 100% energy of Level 1 Wild Slime]
As the minutes passed, he got bored and looked around for other Slimes. But these little exp packs were getting harder and harder to find.
Without realizing it, he started walking into the forest. His mind was doing mathematical calculations about his stats and he didn't even pay attention to where he was walking.
After a while, he arrived near the point where he teleported to this universe last night.
He did not see the creatures watching him among the trees around him. For someone with a Perception of 13, he never spent enough time looking around. If he had looked around for even a second, he would have immediately realized the plight he was in.
But until yesterday, Eren was a supermarket worker on Earth.
When he turned his head at the sounds of the leaves, he saw the Slimes approaching him. At first, a smile formed on his face. But when he realized that this Slimes was getting closer to him, he noticed something was wrong.
They can move unlike the ones I killed before.
He attacked the one slightly larger than the Level 1 Slimes next to him with his knife. The blade cut through the little Slime's semi-liquid body, but couldn't kill him in one blow. After the second blow, Eren heard the voice inside his head.
[You took the 100% energy of Level 2 Wild Slime]
His heartbeat quickened as he saw the unknown number of creatures around him approaching towards him, albeit slowly. Although not as afraid as yesterday, he tensed.
He took the knife in his left hand in his right hand and froze for a second when another Slime that got too close to him jumped on him.
They can jump!
When he first saw the Slime that Emily had killed yesterday, he was frightened and stunned. He was going through something similar now. Eren just fluttered until he felt pain as Slime that jumped on him and clung to his chest.
He felt a burning sensation both in his chest and in his left hand trying to grab the Slime and throw it away.
He was in such a hurry that he almost stabbed the knife in his hand into his chest or throat. After a few seconds of trying, he killed this Slime as well and hurriedly threw it to the ground.
[You took the 100% energy of Level 3 Wild Slime]
[Congratulations! You have reached Level 4. All stats are +1. You acquired 1 Stat Point to use]
Eren no longer had time to think about when he would cast meteor spells as he looked around at the many creatures approaching him. He was glad that he had leveled up, but he didn't even have time to look at his left hand, where he felt pain due to his situation.
His only thought was to avoid the Slimes that would jump on him.
Another one got close enough after just this one, but it continued to crawl towards her legs, contrary to Eren's expectations.
But unlike this creep, another one jumped up and made Eren suffer again.
He brought the knife in his right hand close to his body and ran around, killing what he could. Sometimes he jumped once or twice because he wasn't fast enough and struggled with the Slimes coming into his body.
[You took the 100% energy of Level 2 Wild Slime]
[You took the 100% energy of Level 3 Wild Slime]
[You took the 100% energy of Level 2 Wild Slime]
[You took the 100% energy of Level 2 Wild Slime]
...
Except for the first Slime jumped and burned his chest, he killed three more Level 3 Slimes and five Level 2 Slimes.
After the announcement of the last one, he heard the robotic and somewhat feminine voice in his head again.
[Congratulations! You have reached Level 5. All stats are +1. You acquired 1 Stat Point to use]
He looked at his left hand and chest, both excited and frightened. He didn't expect more than a simple redness or tiny burning.
But he was terrified by the sight. His neck rose and fell with a hiccup with sudden fear.
The skin on the back of his hand was red as if it had been severely burned. It wasn't like a simple rash, but as if a weak acid had been spilled. His chest was worse. Most of his skin was either slightly molten or filled with bloody wounds.
"If I was even slower, that stupid creature could open my chest and burn everything down to my heart... Fu*k!"
Eren didn't like swearing. But right now he opened his mouth and cursed the liquid corpses that were mixing with the earth around him. He forgot about leveling up, stats or spells. He was just angry at these creatures that hurt him.
He saw only a Level 1 Slime sleeping among the trees. It had nothing to do with jumping High-Level Slimes from before. He immediately ran and tried to crush it with a single kick. Only in this way could his anger vanish.
But he couldn't kill the little creature by crushing it or popping it like a water balloon. On the contrary, his foot got into the creature and it started hurting instantly.
"Scr*w you!" With the knife in his hand, he killed the confused creature that was just sleeping. The innocent thing was stepped on and then stabbed. If it had a mouth, it would want to sue this barbaric human.
..
Eren, who shouted and kicked the tree next to him, was worried when his pain did not decrease even a bit. But though his wounds hurt, they didn't seem to be getting worse.
In the next few minutes, Eren slowly calmed down and tried to look at the situation on the bright side. After all, he had learned that this universe wasn't as innocent and benevolent as he thought and no creature should be underestimated.
1- Level 2 and Level 3 Slimes can kill you if you are weak enough. Yes, Slimes.
2- Even in the safest part of the forest, ten Slimes can surround you.
3- And this is just the beginning area.
Fantastic!
After these thoughts, he remembered the things he had dreamed excitedly last night. He had plans to tame and ride huge dragons and take giant mutant creatures with him on his way back to Earth.
Just two minutes ago, I was almost killed by a simple Slime. And I didn't even notice. Even when I hear the word "dragon", I have to turn around and run away.
..
He decided to run to the village.
Not only did he need to show someone his scars, but he also decided that he missed his new friend Emily. The 24-year-old elf who looked like a Milf was very good at giving Eren the attention he needed.
In her injured state, she needed Emily and her extra attention. Who knows, maybe if he said he couldn't use his arms, he could dress Emily in Maid clothes and have the beautiful woman feed him.
His left hand and chest were on fire, and he had just been in danger of death. But the thought of Emily distracted his mind from focusing on the pain. And seconds later he whispered irrelevant things.
"I wish my girlfriend could be a little like Emily..."
When he involuntarily remembered his world, he sighed.
