"How much is our likelihood to meet those huge slimes?" has asked by the boy Aren.
The girl Nel replies, "They are common in the field. The pain is to defeat them quick."
"Do they drop items? I'd slayed lots of slime. I have yet to see any drops."
She laughs. "You don't search them in the ground. Just open your panel. There. Below your inventory, a temporary bag. Drops are automatically transit there."
"Oh! They are really here. There's a time limit. What should we do?"
"The time limit will be initialized when new stuff are added there. And it's 24 hours. It's convenient."
"Now that you mention it, I see. Well, in any case, I got lots of herbs, and apples. There is also blue fluids here, and broken purple core." I'm gonna transfer them all to my storage. The apples and herbs should be on Moe's storage. To the slime, Aren speaks, "Moe, if you'll get hungry just eat here. I know, you'd been hunting slime when I was log off; but you can't perform because hungriness approach." To the girl, "You know? I can also see your stats and storage panel here."
"Really?" She crawls near and looks to Aren's UI Panel. "True."
"You really didn't allocate your stats. Bright idea."
The girl smiles. It's common knowledge for gamers to avoid wrong build.
Aren thinks, What's wrong with my skill? After Nel became part of my summon, I gained passive skill that reduces 90% exp gain. And it is affective to both Master and Summon. He raised. "I think, we rested enough. It's time to hunt Purple Slime."
The girl nods.
At the ground where two Purple Slime somewhere with three meters distance to each other, Aren declares, "Our tactic is to taunt the prey first. Then, Nel will Shield Blow and distance from the target. And Moe you will Body Slam on the opening. Repeat the attack process. Lastly, both of you be aware with them casting sticky fluid, okay?" Both, the girl and the Slime nod.
On their triangle formation surrounding their opponent, Aren commands, "Moe, lure now! The little slime bounces going in and attracting the giant slime attention. It then bounces to slowly retreats. To the girl, "Nel, go ahead."
The girl rushes forward. To the opponent, she slams her shield...
Shocking Aren and herself...
The huge slime...
Its body shatters to the ground...
To the girl, Aren yells, "What that, you can actually one hit it? Cheater!"
The girl shakes her head sideways. "Noh! You are the cheater here! After I join you, I somehow feel new strength on my body."
"You one hit the slime!"
"And it doesn't mean, you can't do it!"
"I prove it to you!" He points to another huge purple slime. "Moe, body slam that monster."
And that huge slime shatters into the ground. A laugh mixed with surprised and guilty, Aren looks at the girl.
"See," replies by Nel.
"What did just happen? This is somehow a bug or broken..."
"I have no idea either. But considering, we need to kill plenty of them, I wouldn't say broken. Let's grab the chance!"
And so they have slain monsters until their tenth Purple Slime, easily. As they rest, Aren mentions, "It seems the huge slime drops Agility Seed. It says here, it increases agility permanently upon consume."
Nel replies, "I know about it. But you wont see the results. Also the seed actually a character bound items."
"Which means?"
"It cannot be traded to other players. Tho, in our case, I can actually accesses yours and Moe storage."
"No stealing!"
"There is sin system on the game you know. And it will negative when doing chaos actions. Which means my Holy Paladin may revoke whenever I have negative sin," assures by the girl.
"BTW, I have a good idea. Let's postpone your quest first and hunt 100 agility seeds."
"Huh, 100? You know, that seed is a rare drop. It may take several days to complete this task."
"But, I have a reasonable idea."
"I wanna hear."
"So long as you don't touch your stats point, I can make you stronger." His words silence the girl.
She mumbles, "Suspicious..."
"Huh, ah... Noh, noh, noh! It's not like that! Just trust me this one!"
She then smiles. She replies, "Well, I somehow becomes interested." And she hears Aren mumbles, somehow. Tho, able to one hit the Purple Slime is more than enough help. I guess I have no reason to decline.
To the slime, Aren says, "Alright, Moe, you too will hunt in a separate ways. I will log off now."
"Wait, you are gonna log off. It hasn't been 2 hours yet on our meeting."
"Yah, I have exams tomorrow. I need to raise my grades so I can have more time to play. So, let me ace it for now."
"Then, give me contact."
"Alright, here's my number."
"And here's mine."
The girl thinks, My goodness... A casual player...
Dammit. As she slams her shield into the huge slime, that slime's body shatters and scatters into the ground. Onto the pool of sticky liquid, she picks up a core and her sword she swings on it, splitting. I never thought he is a casual. So, even at full dive, those kind of player still exist. She looks at her quest,
Purple Slimes slain 97/10
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Purple Slimes slain 98/10
How is he supposed to revoke our contract? That 1m is quite high. At this rate, I will have him cooperate with me.
Purple Slimes slain 99/10
Oh, Moe has done it. Well, it isn't bad to be one of his familiar, summon or whatever it calls. My only worry is our very slow leveling. It seems like a compensation to the number of his summon or is it a cost by our strength? Anyway, I need to continue killing slime.
Purple Slimes slain 100/10
A lightning suddenly is sparking in the air. Nel is astounded by the sight - it gaps in the space.
System Notification: King Slime Nest, its Rift appears. The gate will last at the end of 8 hours duration or after the player successfully cleared the stage. Touch the gate to challenge.
Requirement: Below and exactly level 15. This Rift will no longer respawn if player level exceeds the requirements.
This stage is I think impossible to clear alone for a not geared lowbie. But, I will try it anyway. I wonder what inside... If only Aren and Moe are here. Let me prepare my remedy. I only have herbs and apples. And they are not good for combat. Which means... Nah, a gamer will never back down. It's time to challenge the stage. She touches, the portal, and the shimmering light gradually surrounds all over her view. A reddish purple sky and a slightly darkish landscape at the background of the gate, infront, she speaks, "It's chilling. I'm not afraid. I am, a holy paladin."
She touches the gate by her hand and it opens. She then walks inside. A wide empty space with eerie atmosphere is where she arrives. The sound of gate closing behind shivers her spine.
Notification: Warning: After 5 seconds count down, jump.
"Here we go."

The girl jumps as two giant objects slam onto the ground. And the shock waves reach all over the enclose space. She runs approaching the enemy. Her shield, she slams to the right opponent, the giant armored slime. She has dealt five percent damage. She notices the other huge slime with cone hat seems casting something as symbols appear on the ground. She dashes backwards. She then runs sidewards avoiding the multi fireball landing into the ground. To the huge magician slime, she arrives and slams her shield. She then slashes her sword as follow up. My speed is increased abit after I become his summon. Oh, well I deal with the mage first, that was 15 percent damage.
The other slime curiously approaches her slowly. She thinks, In a game with nest, every seconds count. Since I don't have a party, I have to keep an eye at both opponents. She jumps as the armored slime slams to the ground. As If, I'm going to allow myself to be hit. I may be a paladin, but that doesn't mean I'm amature.
She slams her shield onto the mage slime.
And again, dropping the slime life to 40 percent, the mage slime disappears. She looks to her surrounding and the mage slime is charging at the center of the field. To the armored slime, she tries to hide, while avoiding being tackled by the giant slime body. She jumps while the armored slime has slammed onto the ground. Nel then notices, the huge mage slime sends out icicles from its body rapidly blasting all over the place. The wild attack reduces the armored slime HP to 40 percent. Dang, I was right on hinding behind this monster, has thought by Nel.
She runs forward and attacks the magician slime with her shield. And landing her final blow, the mage slime disappears.
Notification: Master Mage Slime successfully defeated. Master Knight Slime retreated.
The ground shakes. And opposite to the gate, the wall splits and retreats sideways as it creates a pathway.
Notification: The party may proceed to the next stage..
Taking breath from her fight, she sits and rests. UI. And a user panels hover on her front. An apple appears on her hand, she then eats it. Since the armored slime retreats, meaning I'm going to encounter it again somewhere in the next stage. I hope it, it won't be that difficult.
Nest was not meant to solo, that's what I heard from forums. But, reality sometimes reality exceeds your expectation. I saw a streamer soloing a nest anyway. So, I know. I can do it. I have to try. No. I must clear it.
And to the next stage, after the wall closes the path.
Notification: In 5 seconds, prepare for battle.

She jumps. And a heat wind occupies all over the place, dealing 1 percent damage on her. She has landed, and cold wind occupies the place slowing her movement. A UI panel appears on her side, she takes a look.
Debuff: Slow, duration 28sec. Burn, duration 29sec.
Two huge slimes, a red and a white one, have landed into the ground. The shockwave deals 35 percent on her hp. This is bad. And the burn, I can somehow feel its pain. I need to move left and secure a kill to this white one.
As the huge White Slime approaches, she slams her shield and attack with her sword. Just another more 3 hits. The huge White Slime hops as Nel evades to the side. Nel slams her shield against the slime. The White Slime begins charging energy for a wide attack. Nel notices the huge Red Slime jumps. She jumps as the huge Red Slime lands on the ground. The shockwave reaches allover the room. Nel has landed. Slamming her shield onto the huge White Slime, she notices the boss hp left 1 percent. I see, these enemies can be lucky sometimes. This game tho is prone to friendly fire. The huge White Slime breathes a cold wind, slowing Nel's movement. Nel evades to diagonal rightwards as the huge Red Slime lands to her previous position. She then slams her shield onto the huge White Slime. Gazing at the huge Red Slime, She thinks, So, you are the only one left now. This would be easy.
After clearing the stage and gaining a new pathway, she sits and rests. This may takes a while. I got 20 percent hp left because of the burn. But, the nest is surprisingly easy. Or, maybe, I only manage to solo this because of him. Gonna take out fruit from my inventory to recover my health quick.
At the next stage, a huge slime, wearing a royal crown and having a beard, hops near in the center. The notification begins to count down for Nel to start her challenge. Above the walls, slimes, on different sizes and groups, they drumble an epic series of sound.
Nel runs forward and she slams her shield onto the boss. That damage is 10 percent. I can do it. Quickly she steps backward as the King Slime jumps. She then jumps while the King Slime has landed into to the ground. The impact shakes the entire room. Nel as she gains her footing to the ground, she slams her shield onto the boss. She runs to the opponent right side and she slams her shield again. To her confusion, the boss disappears. The huge Mage Slime and huge Armored Slime appear in the field. You're kidding me. But, I am a Holy Paladin. I must strengthen my will. And behind her two new opponents in the field, the King Slime is charging an energy on its body. This is quite easy. As she approaches the huge Mage Slime, she slams her shield onto it. She evades backwards as the Armored Slime hops on her previous location. She then runs approaching the Mage Slime. Slamming her shield to the Mage Slime, she looks at this enemy begins to disappear and turning to particles. She runs faster nearby the Armored Slime. The King Slime releases an energy along by the blinding light. After feeling the pressure disappear, Nel moves with one step, sending herself to the air before her other feet could land to the ground as she opens her eyes; she sees the King Slime has landed onto the ground. An impact shakes the ground, and the shockwave sends Nel slamming her back into the wall. Groaning in pain, blood flows in her lips, she falls to the ground. Trying to stand, she gains her balance and quickly she grabs her shield that's on the ground. I got 73 percent HP left. But the pain may slow me down.
Status: Bleed, takes damage per 2 seconds, double when doing action, duration 22.1 sec.
She screams aloud, "Come at me! Fucker!" She smiles. It works. The King Slime hops fast as it approaches. It then prepares a body slam. Nel evades as she thinks, This way, I can reduce the damage on bleed. She slams her shield to the enemy. She runs behind her opponents. And she slams her shield again.
For the second time, the King Slime disappears. The huge White Slime and Red Slime appear in the field. She thinks, It will charge again behind those two. The cold slows her movement, and heat slowly depletes her HP. Shit, I already have 58 percent HP left. I will just avoid every attack on these two while hiding on them. I'm pretty sure they will eliminate by friendly fire.
The King Slime releases an energy and along with the blinding light. Nel runs approaching the wall. She jumps and onto the wall she lands her body. The ground shakes and the shock wave slams onto the wall. She thinks, As I expected, I don't take damage on this. Only when I was slammed. After the attack, she has landed onto the ground. She runs fasts to approach and attack the King Slime. Now, I think about this, when the boss charge an energy, that time is a free hit for the party. And since, I am alone, it takes time to clear the stage. The reason the boss keeps summoning mini bosses, they guard him.
At the series on her shield attacks, the King Slime disappears and all four of huge slimes enters the field. She thinks, I already know what to do. The boss only has 18 percent HP left. This is my win!
System Notification: Stage Clear! Congratulations, Nel Nglatrasi.
Reward, lucky! King Slime Ring!
Stage Clear! Congratulations, Aren Nuella!
Reward, King Slime Sword!
The hell, so even if he's offline, we both can get reward? This is so nice! Let me check my inventory. I think, mini bosses and bosses have their own drops too. It's decided, I'm gonna challenge this boss ten times more!
