This world have already fascinating me, now I have piece of information that make me more excited about this world
“What is occupation ? is it like Job in game ?”
I haven't see any monster or something resemble of it. If this true, then I am on dangerous spot. I am literally in the middle of forest, of course there are some of them here. I am just happy that I haven't meet one of them.
Beside [Status board], there is [Skill board] and [Items board]. I keep analyzing every single details in these boards.
[Skills Board]
[Occupation Skill]
-Conquer (Lvl 1)
“Conquer? Such an odd skill for this Occupation.”
I try to find the connection between this skill and the occupation ? do I need to conquer the monster before I tame it ? and first of all, what is conquer means ? do I need to beat them up ? do I need put some sort of pressure on them ? Much more questions coming into my head.
My curiosity lead me to push the word “Conqueror” and new hologram board appear
“This skill let you control a monster. More high this skill level, the level of monster you can control is increase.”
[Lvl 1 = Monster Lvl 1 - 10]
[Lvl 2 = Monster Lvl 10 - 20]
[Lvl 3 = Monster Lvl 20 - 30]
[Lvl 4 = Monster Lvl 30 - 40]
[Lvl 5 = Monster Lvl 40 - 50]
[Lvl 6 = Monster Lvl 50 - 60]
[Lvl 7 = Monster Lvl 60 - 70]
[Lvl 8 = Monster Lvl 70 - 80]
[Lvl 9 = Monster Lvl 80 - 90]
[Lvl 10 = Monster Lvl 90 - 100]
Level 100 ? are you kidding me ? how strong will be that monster with that level ?
“This is getting me excited.”
My blood get pump into my chest, my heart beating so fast, thinking what kind of monster that I can control.
I step back and look at Item Board and its empty. So, this must be space for me to place stuff. There are 20 slot in there. I wonder how to put stuff into [Item board]?
There is bunch of Rangoo Banana that I have gather before. I want to try to put those into [Item board].
“Do I need to visualize this banana to transfer into my [Item board]? or its need voice command like boards?”
My head is hurt trying visualize this banana into my [Item board]. Nothing happen. The banana is still in my hand.
“Transfer!”
“Move!”
“Store!”
Suddenly small magic circle appear on my hand, and the banana is dissapear. Even though I have seen a lot of things in this world, but magic still make me excited.
“Let see if its works.”
[Item board]
- Rangoo Banana (1)
“Its working. Now let test if its stack with each other.”
I put 2 more bananas, and yes, its stack with each other. This will help me a lot to carry stuff, but I need to manage carefully because its only have 20 slot. And I need to find out how much I can stack.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
I finish tidying up my area that I call “Home” and look at sky. Looks like its still noon. I want to find monster so I can use this skill. I hope I don’t meet strong monster.
This pond area is really big. Maybe 600m in diameter, with giant beautiful pond in the middle. There is no “monster” in the pond and I cant identify those bird earlier because they are too far. I try to look around the area and its looks the same.
“Need to be careful to not get lost here. I need a plan”.
I gather bunch of lily-pad look-alike plant from the pond and start pick a direction. When I go to that direction I put one lilypad near the edge of pond area. Then I walk 40 steps straight from the pond. I keep repeating this plan until the 6th try, I heard something near me.
*rustle*
“Something near me. I need to be ready.”
Bush near me make a lot of moves and noise. I just stand there try to calm myself and think. Even though I keep saying to be careful, but I just went into forest without some sort of armor or weapon to defend myself. I just realized this at last minute until suddenly, a bubbly-look monster jump out the bush.
“PUUU”
A slime ? Its small and fill with transparent liquid. I cant see the eyes, but I can see it little mouth.
“PUUU”
Another slime coming out from the bush. Now it have orange liquid in it. Are they live in colony? They don’t see hostile. They move like doing little jump.
“There is no prompt to tame them. Maybe I need to do something”
I don’t want to go further by following the slime. Luckily the slimes is just moving near me. Looks like they confused because they never see human. They try to ignore me and go to near bush that have weird looking fruit.
Slimes go to bush and looks happy. They jumping around and make sounds like they found their dinner.
“PUUU PUUUU”
That bush have fruit that looks like a piece of lamp, but with vanilla smells. I can smell it around me. Lucky me, I have that bush around my leg.
[Moonlamp Mango]
-Aromatic Mango that look like Moonlamp
Effect: Boost your speed for 10% for 30 minutes
Another Edible Fruit that give boost for your status. This world is awesome. Slimes start eating it with joy. The vanilla smells just burst everytime they biting the fruit.
“looks like the slime love this fruit. I guess I can lure them with it.”
I pick couples of that fruit and lay them in front of me. The smells of this fruit is kinda strong, that even the slime cant resist it. The orange slimes notice it and come toward me.
[Do you want to conquer the Kiyo Slime (Lvl 10) ?]
[Charm Progress: 80%]
YES!! I got prompt to tame it. Charm progress? What is that mean ? I think I can find out later after I tame this slime
“YES”
A bright magic circle appear around the slime. It blinded me to point that I fall into the ground. Area around me I surround by warm light. And I hear a sound
*beep*
[Conquering Kiyo Slime is success. You can access the data in your Monster Board]
“YES, FINALLY MY FIRST MONSTER!”
I am looking forward to see my first tamed monster, and its gone. Wait, what ? where is he ? I thought he is in front of me when I tamed it. Does it run away after I tame it ?
I try to look at the area and found some weird card. First thing I noticed that is the card have picture of Orange slime. I pick up the card and try to get the details of it.
[Kiyo Slime]
[Level: 10]
[Str:] 5
[Agi:] 12
[Int:] 78
[Effect: Conquer Skill gained double experience point]
Did I read it right? This monster will make my Conqur Skill gain double XP ? I am so proud of myself right now, because my first monster already give me such benefit.
Looks like after you conquer a monster, it will turn them into card. I need to test this theory. There is another Slime in that bush. I need to conquer it. I wonder what kind of effect will it give me
That slime is too busy eating Moonlamp Mango, even it cant feel my presence. I slowly approach him from behind.
[Do you want to conquer the Waggle Slime (Lvl 6) ?]
[Charm Progress: 0%]
“YES”
Magic circle start appearing and suddenly I feel like something cut my cheek. I touch my right cheek and I feel blood dripping out of it. I look at the slime again, but he is gone.
“Where is he ?”
I hear grunted noise behind me. There he is! He looks angry now and ready to attack me. Does he have higher level than my [Conquer] skill level ?.
*fwoosh*
He start lunge on me and every time the wind reach me, it feels like a blade almost grace my body. This monster is strong. I need to find a way to conquer it before he killed me.
I look at the card again, but I cant find anything that I can use to fight the slime. If I let this drag on, this can be more dangerous.
“Skill”
I open my [Skill Board] on reflex when I thought about how to deal with this threat.
[Skills Board]
[Occupation Skill]
-Conquer (Lvl 1)
[Monster Skill]
-Roar (Lvl 5)
I get new skill ! and it said [Monster Skill], so is this skill from Kiyo Slime ? Looks like I can get skill from monster that I conquer. Let’s test it out.
“Roar!”
Magic circle show up in front of me producing menacing sounds. I feel like something getting suck out of my body. I focus to get the skill hit the slime
*RAAAWWRRR*
Screeching sounds that can blow up your ear is echoing through the forest. I get push back around 5 meter because the power of the skill. Beautiful scenery in front of me before turn into a mess, like a hurricane just hit this place. In the middle of that, the Waggle Slime is fainted, but its not dead. His HP is at 5. Even myself cant fathom the view in front of me.
“wow”, I mumbled
I try to get myself together and approach the monster. Like what I think, the prompt for Conquer is showing up.
[Do you want to conquer the Waggle Slime?]
[Charm Progress: 0%]
“YES”
Looks like Charm is huge part of Conquering monster. It easy to get them if the Charm progress is high, but I need to know what charm them first. This is learning experience for me. I feel more confident that I know at least a little bit part of this world.
Now I am curious about my new monster that I just conquer.
[Waggle Slime]
[Level: 6]
[Str:] 15
[Agi:] 20
[Int:] 5
[Effect: Increase your strength by 10%]
I fall on my butt, and try to assess situation right now. I have power to destroy environment around me, I have power to turn monster into card and use their skill, I store things inside magical space. I am really in different world, and I don’t want to waste this chance to make it best of my life.
The blood still dripping from my cheek. I take Rangoo Banana out of my Inventory and eat it. I gain power and the cut in my cheek is healed. The horror view in front of me after I using [Roar] make me think, what kind of monster that I can conquer that will have more destructive power than this?
I look at the sky and the sun is almost set. I pick up myself and walk toward my hut. I gather bunch of wood and create myself a campfire. Its unfortunate that I can only eat fruits right now, but I determined to eat meat and fish when I get out from this place
“i will live my life to the fullest, like my parents always told me. I hope one day, I can see them again”
I close my eyes and fell to sleep.
