chapter 1 bringing a slime home

                As I was walking along the forest path a pink round creature appeared in front of me, it looked like a slime like you see in a video game. The slime looked injured from something but I don’t know what, when I was about to approach a little green creature jumped out of the brush before it could notice me I used analyze.

Lesser Goblin LV 2/10one of the lowest of the low thrown out of it's tribe because

it couldn't keep it's little gob in it's pants, adventurers hate

the goblin race and as such will pay for their extermination,

worth 2 Bronze

                Yep completely worthless to me since I am rich now, I picked up a stick from the side of the road and walked up behind the goblin. The goblin didn’t even notice me even though I wasn’t even being stealthy, I brought my stick up and smashed the goblins head and it flew into the tree breaking its neck on impact.

LV UP*gained 15 stat and skill points (SP)

*Base stats raised+5

So each level gives me fifteen points to use along with raise my base stats, well let’s save up stat points for now since I don’t know how hard it is to gain levels yet. I turned to the slime that was watching me which was a little weird seeing how it didn’t have any eyes to watch me with, as I got closer the slime shook even more which was kind of cute in a way. The slime had several wounds were clear liquid spilled out I guess slimes are not just liquid after all, I pulled out a health potion from my storage and poured it on the slime which absorbed it as fast as it could.

“There you go little one try not to get into anyone trouble okay.” (Me)

                The slime jumped up and down then jumped into my chest, I caught it and the damn thing started rubbing against me like a cat would do for attention. I guess it wants to come with me but would it be alright after all I will be traveling to my world and this one so unless I can get it to take a human form I doubt I can take it with me.

“Listen little one, I will be traveling to places that only humans can go to so if you can wait for me while I go there you can come along also when you get a human form you will be able to come with me, so do you still want to come?” (Me)

  The slime jumped up and down in my arms which made me laugh even more, such a cute creature I wonder if people tame these guys just to become pets for them. I sat the slime down and turned to the dead goblin but before I did anything another window popped up in front of me.

gained familiar: Fairy Slimethe weakest among the slime race however it has the ability

to give buffs to others that increase attack power or defense

once destroyed the core can be turned into a pill that gives a boost

to user, worth: 1 silver

Skill gained: Tame Monster LV 1/10able to tame 2 monster that is either extremely weak

or is a low level monster

Title gained: Tamerwhen taming monsters you will have a +10% success rate,

tamed monsters gain a +2 to all stats

                what the hell is up with this, I get the skill and title but why the hell would they kill a slime that can give you buffs as much as possible instead of a onetime use pill? After my ranting I dismissed the windows and walked towards the goblin corpse which stunk to high heaven, since I didn’t want to touch it I opened up my store for the first time and found the perfect skill for this.

Auto-loot skill book (1 Silver)this skill let's you loot a creature without touching it, the items

that are worth anything will be deposited into your inventory

while the worthless parts stay put

 I bought the skill immediately and learned it; after I learned it I put my hand over the goblins corpse and activated the skill. In seconds the goblins ears were gone along with a small indent in the middle of its chest like something was missing under the skin, I guess there isn’t much to collect with goblins.

This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.

“Hey little one if you’re hungry you can have this guy, I am done with it after all.” (Me)

  The slime jumped at the corpse and I could see that the corpse was being digested into pink lights that soon disappeared while the slime grew a little bit bigger. After the slime was done a notification popped up again.

Familiar assimilated: enhance smell, breed

Enhance smell LV 1Breedeach level enhances the sense of smellfemale or male it does not matter they will be a parent

soon

Wow just wow; note to sell buy protection from the skill Breed. Now let’s get a move on before it gets dark.

  After walking for a few more miles I came upon a small village with some scrawny guards posted at the front gate, so much defense it’s impossible to take this village! All jokes aside they should really get new guards or train the original guards a bit more.

“Halt what business do you have in this village and why do you have a slime following you?” (Guard1)

“I am a tamer on a journey, I am just passing through by tomorrow morning I will be on my way I just want to get some nights sleep before I continue to the next city.” (Me)

“There is a 10 bronze tax on entering the village along with a 1 silver tax on bringing a monster inside, if you don’t have the money you can always sleep outside for the night.” (Guard2)

I didn’t complain and paid the guards the tax then walked into the village carrying the slime in my arms, when I got to the inn a young girl carrying a sliver tray greeted me when I first walked in.

“Welcome to our inn, are you staying the night or coming here for dinner?” (Girl)

“I would like a room until morning; also I would like it if no one disturbs me and I would like to pay in advance to I don’t forget in the morning.” (Me)

“Oh that would be fifteen bronze please.” (Girl)

“Here, and keep the change just spend it wisely.” (Me)

                I flipped a gold coin at her and she caught it on her tray, before she could say anything I was already going upstairs to my room. When I was inside I put the slime down next to me and opened my store again, I wanted to communicate with the slime so it will be easier for me to know what it wants. After several minutes of searching I finally found to skill books that I bought immediately.

Communicatebestow skillgives beings that can not normally talk the ability to speakallows a person to bestow a skill onto another, original person

will still have the skill bestowed

I learned both of them and turned to the slime then bestowed the communicate skill to it, the slime shined for a second but it wasn’t long until the light faded and the slime was looking at me again.

“Can you speak now?” (Me)

“Y…Yes Master.” (Slime)

“Good now let us talk about what is about to happen, I am about to travel to my home for the night and will bring you with me however you cannot leave the house no matter what happens do you understand me?” (Me)

“Why master?” (Slime)

“Where I come from there are no monsters or magic, the only thing that we have are humans and animals that do not have magic or skills.” (Me)

“Is that why you said I would have to wait for you master?” (Slime)

“Yes, until you have a form that won’t draw attention to us you will have to stay in my house when we travel to my home.” (Me)

“I understand master.” (Slime)

“Good, now let’s go.” (Me)

I got up and locked the door which only locked from the inside which in my opinion was a good feature, after I locked the door I summoned the mirror and picked up the slime then walked through the mirror and into my room.

“This is my room where we will sleep when we are here, if you have any questions I will answer them as best as I can.” (Me)

“Master is that a light crystal up there?” (Slime)

“No it called a light bulb; it uses electricity to produce light.” (Me)

“What is electricity?” (Slime)

“Think of it like a downsized version of lightning, we don’t have magic so we have created other ways to live and this is one of them.” (Me)

“Thank you master for explaining this to me even though I am just a slime.” (Slime)

“You are you and nothing else, it does not matter what race you are everyone is different in their own ways.” (Me)

“No one has ever said that to me and no human, elf, dwarf, or demi-human has not attacked me the moment they saw me so master why did you not attack me?” (Slime)

“You didn’t show aggression towards me or others so I had no reason to attack.” (Me)

“Master you are strange.” (Slime)

“Is it really that bad to be strange anyway it’s about time to give you a name, oh I know your name will be May Everson my loyal companion that will forever stand beside me in my time of need.” (Me)

“Thank you master.” (Slime)
