As Alros came out of the system space, he began to trek through the forest.
"System guide, can I still see the status of the System Space?" he asked.
[ Yes. Do what you did to see the Status of System Space. ]
He followed the instructions and voila, the status appeared in front of him.
< System Space
Space Limit: 0/100
Mana Point: 42/10000
Soul Point: 2
Lust Point: 0 >
"So, how much mana do I need to mutate a simple monster?" he asked.
[ It depends on the monster itself. A weak monster might not need more than 10 MP. ]
"Actually, are my mana reserves and the system space different?"
[ Yes. What is worth 10 MP for you is similar to 1 MP for the system space. ]
"So, I need to use 10 MP for me to be able to transform a monster that needs 1 MP to transform in the system space,"
[ It is not that simple. The system space is more efficient and will help the process. If you want to do it in the outside world without proper equipment, you will fail. ]
"I expected it, but I can still succeed right?"
[ Yes, just it will be difficult. ]
"Alright and look like we found our first monster," Alros exclaimed as he lay his eyes upon the monster in front of him.
The best way to describe it is slime, the monsters many games have as their weakest mobs.
"So, how do I capture the little fellow?" he asked, as he was sure the system guide did not tell him how to catch monsters.
[ There are two ways of catching monsters. One is by using force and dragging the monster into the system space. But the monster will fight back. The second one is by using the Skill - Subdue. This is something all demons have which allows them to subdue monsters and even weaker sentient beings. ]
"Oh, and how can I use the skill,"
[ Look at your status and check the 2nd tab. ]
Somehow, he could feel the system guide rolling its eyes.
"Here it is,"
< Skill
Subdue - Allow the user to subdue weaker beings, making them follow the user's order. The stronger the user, the more powerful beings can be subdued by the skill.
How to use: Put your hand on the target and will your mana as you chant Subdue. When a mark appears, the target will be subdued >
"Seem simple enough," Alros said. He quickly catches the slime, catching it in his arms. The gooey feeling would have been disgusting to anyone else but to him who has been used in dissecting animals before, this is nothing.
"Subdue," he ordered, the palm of his hand light up. As he removed the hand, he could see a mark on the slime.
He then opened the system space, and a small portal appeared. He gave an order telepathically, the monster bounced as it followed his order, which was to follow him.
"System, how do I begin experimenting on the slime?"
[ Master needs to have something else, a medium or a conduit if Master wants to make it have an affinity. ]
"How much is it?" he dreads the answer.
[ Simple medium will not cost much but it does cost LP, which master has none of. ]
He cursed. How can he hope to gain LP inside a forest? Then, he thought of something.
"Can my blood be used as a medium?" he was afraid the answer would be no, but thankfully, something went his way.
[ Master's blood can be used as a medium but the MP will likely be higher than using a regular medium. ]
"Well, it's not like I can buy one. Even if I try to find a medium inside this forest, it will be hard to find anything, am I right?"
[ Yes. Using Master's blood would be a good alternative until Master found a better medium or could afford it. ]
"Good, now, let us begin," he then ordered the slime to jump into the magic circle, and the obedient monsters jumped in with no hesitation.
As the monster entered the magic circle, he cut his palm and sprinkled drops of his blood into a part of the magic circle.
< Infusing Regular Slime with Lesser Demon Incubus blood. Mana Point requires is 2 MP. Chances of success: 100% Proceed with the transformation.
Yes/No >
He thought of yes and watched as the magic circle glowed. He shields his eyes, not wanting to be blinded by the light.
As the light dimmed, he removed his hands and watched as the slime came out of the magic circle. Instead of its previous grey coloring, it is now purple, with a love pattern all over it.
Just then, a screen appears,
< Regular Slime + Lesser Demon Incubus Blood = Demon Love Slime; Save the recipe?
Yes/No >
He thought yes, and a book appeared in front of him.
< Recipe Book - Allow one to record every single mutation and transformation recipe inside. Have limits of up to 100 recipes. If the Recipe Book is filled, any new recipe will not be written >
"What use is the Recipe Book aside from storing recipes?" Alros asked as he felt there was something more to it.
[ Recipe Book also allows Master to access the recipe. As long as Master has the necessary ingredients, Master can think of it and begin the transformation process without being in the system space. ]
"So it allows me to automate the creation of my mutated monsters," he summarized.
"Let me check the Recipe Book again," he opened the first page and read it.
< Demon Love Slime - Created from a Regular Slime and the Blood of Lesser Demon Incubus. Possessed aphrodisiac properties and would make the being hit by it feel aroused. The more the slime touches, the worse the effect.
Possessed greater strength than regular slime due to being a demonic variant. Can likely face off against a goblin on it's own
Race: Demon Love Slime
Strength: E
Speed: E
Agility: D
Intelligence: E
Stamina: E
Skill - Aphrodisiac Body >
"A weak monster but that is what I expect," he said to himself.
"At least I knew I could use my blood to make mutated monsters. Just the incubus blood makes it all more complicated," he did not want to know what would happen if he used his blood on a goblin, just it would likely scar him for life.
