'Boing'
'Boing'
Klein, with a hopeless vibe radiating whilst walking through the forest and his newly tamed beast bouncing along are now looking for a new target.
"I can't help it but to accept it, right?" Klein asked to his slime while his beast are just doing the bouncing sound.
"Speaking of it, lemme' check your attributes and skills before we start hunting."
Klein browse into his status to look at his slime information.
Beast: Slime
Owner: Klein Keisler
Name: None
Str: 10
Int: 8
Dex: 9
Agi: 13
Skill: Shadow Manipulation
Unique skill: Absorbtion
Unique skill: Parallel Storage
Unique skill: Decoy
Klein stopped for moment for being shocked after learning his slime information.
"This slime recently dissolve the core of that shadow wolf and it has a skill of shadow manipulation which is a unique skill" Klein said.
"Maybe it is due to his absorbtion skill, but there is no information about taming a slime before so I could not be so sure. It is the weakest beast after all, yet his stats are higher than mine." He added while scratching the back of his head.
'Boing'
The slime caught Klein's attention after bouncing differently.
"Hm?"
A bush suddenly rustling. It makes Klein intensely nervous and cautious from the bush movements.
Suddenly a goblin appeared in front of them.
"A goblin? in this area?"
The goblin rush towards to Klein, due to its shocked he could not move his body to dodge.
'Boing',
The slime moves so fast that even Klein did not saw what it did but the goblin was now suffocating and dissolving inside the slime.
'Boing?'
The slime moves as it is asking a question to Klein.
Klein, in disbelief just accept the fact it is not a normal slime. " Maybe you're a rare or epic beast slime?" He questioned.
'Boing'
"It is what it is, I will make you the strongest slime in this world"
The slime appears excited for his statement.
***
Klein understood something on his slime:
First, it absorbs the crystal or the core of the beasts and gained a random skills from it, including some stats are being added randomly.
Second, it can used the skills without using mana and the skills are affected by its stats.
"I need to name you first"
'Boing?'
"Well, you absorbs monsters and nothing really left behind, even bones... I'll name you as gluttony from the book that I red before."
'Boing boing'
"Did you like it?"
Gluttony suddenly shine and change its color to red.
Status updated:
Your beast "Slime" are now evolved as a "Gluttony slime".
"You've gotten stronger after getting a name???" Klein excitedly hugged Gluttony and pat it.
"Now let's make you more stronger."
***
Klein and Gluttony defeated different beast in the forest until dusk. Resulting Gluttony acquired multiple skills and levelling up to 16, meanwhile Klein levelled up to 3 and acquire a new skills.
"I am disappointed, my beast levelled up so much yet I gained 2 levels after that." Klein complained to Gluttony while walking through the forest.
Gluttony makes a smug facial expression.
'Boing'
"But it is not so bad, I acquire 'Potion creation' and 'skill transmutation', I don't know if its part of taming skill tree." He said.
"Let's make a camp nearby Sol village, I want surprise Cela and Gio's party before going home."
'Boing'
***
A sound of a rushing water from the river and a sound of crisp-snap coming from the campfire that Klein made.
With the light of moonlight, Klein could be seen crafting an elixir-like using 'potion making' skill and trying various combination of herbs and ingredients to explore his skills.
"I created it!" He said. "After an agonizing hour for understanding it, I successfully created a healing potion with 98% potency."
'Boing, Boing'
"I appreciate your support, Gluttony. With this I can sell it for a lot of money" A greediness on money could be seen in his eyes.
'Boing' (Glutton seems like disappointed)
"But I need to do something about this one."
He scroll through his status window and clicked the 'Skill transmutation'.
"It seems like I can create a new skill after combining two skills, it is a risky thing to do not knowing what the results could be." He stated.
He also scroll through Gluttony skills and got an idea.
"What if I combine this, and this..."
*Transmutation complete*
Result: Poison nullification
"Jackpot! After combing two poison type defensive skills it become nullification."
"So it means I could also combine this... And this... and this..."
'Boing???'
Klein spend a several hour before getting satisfied combining the skills.
Skills:
Pain nullification
Mimicry
Poison nullification
Absolute Shadow
Dagger mastery
Concealment
Fire manipulation
Poison (B)
Paralysis (A)
...scroll for more.
"What a hoarde, it is a relief." He said while looking at the starry night.
"I think you could be really the strongest beast with this progress." He added.
'Boing'
"Do you think so too? I could be also the strongest?" He laughed shortly and said "Thanks for that Gluttony, I'm hoping for it too so I could give Cela a good life and brag to Gio soon."
Klein stood up and pat his clothes to clean it.
'Boing?'
"Yep, we will go back now to the village or else they will got worried..."
Klein looked into Gluttony and said "Would you mind mimic a backpack? So I could hide you for awhile? They might attack you once they saw you."
Gluttony changed his appearance into a bag and Klein equipped it.
"You're weightless despite devouring stuffs?"
'Boing Boing' (It seems offended)
"Are you a girl? Getting offended by the word 'weight'?"
Gluttony increase his weight making Klein to fall to the ground.
"Alright! I'm sorry, its just a joke, sorry." He apologize.
***
Klein and Gluttony continue to move forward through the forest and about to get out on it.
"What's that? Are they setting up a festival after my awakening?" It still kilometers away so he could not see anything clearly.
Then a sudden explosion coming from the village could be heard and the people's agony.
Klein changed his facial expression, realizing everyone is in danger.
Not only he got nervous but his adrenaline spiked making him rushed into the village. Nothing else but only one person got into his mind giving him a cold-sweat making him worried about...
"Cela!?"
