I’m still alive. I managed to wake up just before it became dark out. I’m sure if I was to sleep a little bit longer I would have froze to death. I attempted to repair my leg enough for me to be able to limp with the little healing magic I can use. I’m going to try and make it to town before I pass out from the pain.
I’m currently in the health clinic in the town waiting for the healer to treat my leg. It sure is taking a long time but I think I’m okay for the time being.
I feel a bit relieved and insulted at the same time. The healer said that the leg is fine and can be healed back to working order. At the same time he kept asking me what kind of idiot healer would attempt to seal a wound with an object still inside. They’re going to have to rip it out before healing my leg back up. I hope this isn’t as painful as it sounds.
I’m never combining slimes again without at least ten, no twenty layers of protection. That was one of the worst experiences of my life. Apparently the shard was embedded into my leg so they had to pull it open again before they could take it out.. Afterwards they healed everything back up. I still have to stay here for a bit until they give me the bill for the healing.
Twenty gold. It was twenty gold for the treatment. If you ask me this is a huge scam. It’s not like it cost them anything to heal me. At most they would have to hire healers and even then It would only cost them around ten gold a week. At least I’m alive I guess.
After having a look at the shard they pulled out of my leg I have no idea what it is. It seems to be some kind of hard metal. I’m not an expert so I might have to ask somebody. For now I need to check up on my equipment. I’ll log what I find when I get back.

Day 9
It looks like a good portion of my stuff was destroyed by the explosion. I lost a few healing potions and some experimental brews. Looks like my water container has a few holes in it as well. I’ll have to restock on some of this stuff. Most of its dirt cheap but the healing potions will set me back about thirty gold. I think it's time to start setting up an experiment lab so something like this doesn’t happen again. For now I need to clean up this place.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
I’ve managed to get most of the broken parts cleaned up. By the looks of it the Slimes have been working on their numbers while I was gone.
Blue Slime x32
Red Slime x19
Moss Slime x21
Rock Moss Slime x2
Gray Slime x9
Metal Slime x3
Metallic Slime x4
Metal Ore Slime x2 + Sharp Metal Ore Slime x1
Potion Slime x3
Iron Ore Slime x2
You might notice two new types in the list. I’ll log their properties.
Potion Slime - A Slime whose core is known to have a use in strengthening effect on non elemental potions. Their cores are mostly used by older alchemist to increase the effect of their potion for sale. Reproduction by feeding Slimes any none elemental based potions.
Iron Ore Slime - Slime with iron ore growing on its back. The iron content of the slime is low so it’s soft after processing. Mostly used in production of metal ornaments or large scale metal decorations for nobles. Reproduction by feeding Slimes rich iron ore.
If you’re wondering why I didn’t use pure Iron it’s because any kind of processed metal has the risk of having the slime just turn Metallic.
Both of these were made for the purpose of assisting me in my experiments. They can reproduce so If I can get a good amount of each type going I can start on some construction of the lab. There are a few things that I’ll need to do beforehand. I’ll need to hire an architect and maybe a few builders. I would also like some kind of aesthetic for the bedroom. The lab could be in the basement while I can craft potions and the like in the upstairs alchemy lab. It would be nice to make the whole house out of metal so I don't have to worry about any experiments gone wrong. maybe I should get some harder metal for the basement to protect from any large explosions. So many options. That's all still a bit far away. For just the building cost it would total around a few tens of thousands of gold.
For now I might want to get my basics back up before even considering upgrading. At least I know this place is all back to normal. Before then I'm going to use my last few Alchemy sets so I can make some more Metallic Slimes.

I'm out of alchemy sets now. I need to kill off some Slimes and sell their cores. It pains me a bit to not allow these guys to reproduce, however I'm in need of money now.
So I decided to kill off a few Metallic Slimes, some Gray Slimes, and a good amount of Blue Slimes. The Blue Slimes alone should cover the cost of repairing this place. The rest are to get some more alchemy sets and pay for the blacksmith to appraise these metal shards. I’ll continue once I get to town.
Looks like I underestimated the time left in the day. I don’t think i’ll make it to town before nightfall so I’ll set up camp here.
Camps all set up and I’m ready to call it a day. All in all it was a okay day except for having my leg torn open, all my stuff destroyed, and maybe the fact that I’m out of water.
