METIS POV
'why? i was here?'
Tomorrow is my first day?
"Should i be resting today?"
"if you have money, then go"
looking at the open area, is this really a dungeon, i'm really looking at a open grass field
as i observing, my eyes always draw to my equipment.
Why the hell my equipment is like this i thought i have a complete and max out equipment !
And i smash the helmet.
"What the freak! Are you doin!"
Pedro pick it up helmet and trying to make it shine! Like i was the one at fault.
"Why the hell our equipment is like this? Did you say high class equipment? But why the hell i have a complete equipment but why it is like a beginner, even my weapon is a stick?"
"i say full equipment not max out build to equip, we are beginner, and we will start to encounter enemies be aware"
Pedro rebuts like i was really at fault.
'This bastard, hmmmm... i better give up i really need money to, money can't go to you if you don't work your ass, metis' as i said to my self.
"Then can you lend me 5000 coi-"
"no, that's why we are going to dungeon to make money, right?"
"But we are friend right? then lend me?"
"no!" i know he won't lend me but maybe persistent and determination can change everything.
And so we start the dungeon in this life. i can imagine my past life for RPG, MMORPG or monster hunter...
So i have a little knowledge regarding monster hunting... wait, did we register to a guild? answer is no! Then who manage this dungeon? hmmm... whatever happens batman your neighborhood will save you.
'money priority'
Then we walk and walk after 10 mins. or so
we encounter a slim, it was a literally slim and crawl. it does not a face, like i always thought in anime, manga or manhwa or manhua... even in games.... is different in real life.
And why it was so dirty like a brown color, and others are green like some moss living. i feel so repulsive... from what i see a basin water is equivalent, and where is the core? i can't see...
Suddenly
"eyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" the i see pedro try to attack lifting his sword widely and attack at full strength he was so aggressive... that cannot be stop...
then the water from slim body throw a small amount of water like a water ball but it was dirty, it was color brown and green, like a many bacteria was living in it as a modern person hygiene is priority.
"hey! Metis help me!"
"Why, do i attack a dirty slim? is there mo cleaner like a blue slim?"
"No, you can't be nitpicky and if you kill this you have money"
"where is the core?" basic of the basic you can't attack it with physical only the core.
"core what is bwawahashhwah"
Pedro was swallowed by the slime and it keeps drowning him.
And so tried to throw a rock on it but it hit pedro's head.
i don't know, but pedro stop moving.
but then suddenly i see a shining stone floating and i found it it is really the core cause it was circle then i attack it grabbing it by hand. easier to grab then to smash it with stick.
'it's disgusting'
it was looking hard but it was soft as tofu.
'Disgusting as hell'
then pedro flop to the ground...
"arggghhh!" he was wake-up
"i thought you will die"
"why, did you not help early, i was almost kill by slim"
"it's just I'm calculating before attacking like you did ! hahahha!"
With a gritting of teeth, pedro an't do anything about it.
We pick up the looking like soft stone and walk again but i have new strat. that can kill slim with using hand.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
A few moments later
"throw it, into the looking soft stone." as i said to pedro.
plop* like a kid we start to throw stone tied with a rope crush slime core, it may be funny move but it was effective.
"Then pull as we pull the rope quickly as we can"
as splash reduce the water of the slime if water amount reduce can't drown us like happen to pedro, we can manually attack with stick if core is visible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
we continue this for 5 hours. And we are hungry so we eat. Sandwich and some juice. Brought by pedro and saying this food was on credit.
i learned that this dungeon is the beginner dungeon, but the popular dungeon for beginner is the goblin.
"Goblin is more dangerous because they have a intelligent comparing to a 3 yrs old baby."
"i see, a monster who think are the dangerous i know that..."
a monster can think with strat. can set up trap and more...
"...sometime they can learn magic."
"Yeah, that's why this is the safest place but high demand cause not all adventurer pick this area, cause the slim is dirty, and disgusting because they ate the corpse, or they kill people and ate the corps"
What?! Eating corpse? Keeping a contact to a dead bodies may create a plague, this was proven by history.
"burrrgh!"
After we ate, and so i gave up when i hear the monster eating corpse, was touch by me...
'But when i look pedro who drinks it, he must have been special to not be nausea by it'

METIS POV
i am on market right now, and I'm looking for my cloth for tomorrow, but the more i think the real problem is my rent for the inn. But i will change to apartment to minimize cost.
But formal, shirt polo and pants or slack, but i choose pants because it was more cool looking than slacks.
Even my house is sold at high price. i can't use it as i please, I'm going to buy a house here, better than living in an inn forever.
