In the branches of a tree not far away was a little bird who looked constantly around. His small head moved all around and his beady eyes caught everything, bit surprisingly he decided to land his sights on part of the forest that had nothing in peculiar.

*flash*

In the forest a white flash of light could be seen, but not by any human or animal eyes. The sudden flash of light scared the little bird and he flew away , flapping his wings as fast as he could.

Even though the bird didn't see the light he senses warned him.

*Chirp chirp chirp*

*Flap flap flap flap flap flap....

"I'm back again!"

In the spot where the bird had been previously staring at, a teenager appeared from nowhere.

He looked at his surroundings with caution , but relaxed after he saw nothing of concern.

"This time it was a successful expedition."

He then reached for his phone and smiled.

"Good, good , this time I managed to get a good amount of money and experience though the amount of mana shards has decreased. Although I managed to kill 11 slimes in total the number of mana shards I managed to gain was only three.

I wonder if that's got something to do with the tutorial.

Also the time in the dungeon seems to be in line with the time on the outside."

The teenager that just appeared started to talk out loud with himself as no one was near him.

" INVENTORY."

A black hole appeared in front of his face and he pulled out a shotgun from it. He looked at the shotgun closely for a while and nodded his head in satisfaction.

"I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to retrieve the shotgun anymore , but seems I was worried for nothing.

Hehe, I really don't know what I would have said to grandpa if really couldn't retrieve it.

Anyway, it's time to power up."

After saying that he turned back and continued through the forest slowly while humming a little song.

....

*Tak Tak Tak*

"Grandma it's me.

I came back earlier than expected."

*Tap tap tap*

Jack entered an old, wooden , but we'll maintained house. This house was his paternal grandparents house that his grandpa had built himself.

The house was not that big , but for the two old-timers who were living the rest of their years here it was a relaxing night and quiet place.

"Little Jack , you've come early."

As he entered the house he saw his grandma who was sitting on the living rooms sofa watching some random telenovela .

She had silver curly hair, brow eyes and a sweet calming smile. Her face was with little wrinkles was chubby I'm contrast with her body.

"Yeah , finished my business ahead of time."

"Business, what business would you have here of all places? Around here there is nothing to do except if you went into town and I doubt that you walked that far as the car was taken by your grandfather.

Did you meet with a girl in the woods? Did you do it yet?"

"Grandma....

"Oh don't be shy, you young people today are doing it everywhere ."

"That's not true!

Anyway, what made you believe such thing. Did you watch it in one of your telenovelas?"

"No, the others at the hair salon were all talking about it and sometimes they all also tell their stories of their youthful amorous adventures."

*Shake shake*

His whole body shook.

The last sentence horrified Jack.

"Do.. don't tell me you also...

The old woman turned towards him.

"Also what ? Did I tell them about my adventures with your grandfather?

Yes, I did."

".....

Jack opened his mouth to say something, but the words were stuck on his throat.

*Sigh*

He looked defeated. It was like a shadow had been cast uppon him and he seemed to have aged rapidly, or so it seemed on the outside.

"Oh honey, there is nothing to be ashamed of. "

"Okay okay, I get it, so stop explaining it to me.

*Sigh*

I'm going to rest for a while so don't disturb me ."

"Aren't you going to eat lunch with us? "

"I don't know. "

"Your grandfather is going to be disappointed if you don't join us. He was so excited that you came here to visit us.

You know, after...

"I know...

They became silent.

None of them spoke and the only sound was the conversation on the TV. It seemed that the male lead had cheated on his wife with her younger sister .

"Anyway...I'm going now.

Just save some leftovers for me if possible."

.....

"Huaaa...

' I'm never going to get the thought of grandma doing it with grandpa. Just the thought of it tiered me more than fighting slimes.'

*Inhale* *exhale*

" To get those thoughts out of my mind I'll just have to focus on my stat distribution."

"STATUS"

Name Jack Hunter Age 17 Hp 100/100% Mp 18/100% Strength 6 Dexterity 5 Constitution 5 Intelligence 6 Wisdom 7 Charisma 4 Level 3 34/100 % Stat Points 12

'As expected, my stat points have increased by four more after the level up and my level progress is at 34%.

Now then what stat should I raise. Should I put all my points into strength and disregard the other stats for now?

Well that's not a bad idea as I'm already faster than the slimes so I don't have to raise my dexterity. Wisdom and charisma are out of the question as I'm not that keen on mana regeneration speed and charisma is useless against slimes.

Maybe if it was used against other people then..

*Shake shake*

Were getting out of track here. I need to be able to kill the slimes in the fastest way possible.

What about intelligence and constitution?
