I quickly rip off the Slime subjugation and Medical Herb quests and try to find a recetionist. When I see Natasha is free I quickly head over to her and put down the quest.
"I would like to take the accept these quests please."
"Alright, slime subjugation and Medical Herb collection are both active quests so all you have to do is bring in the cores and plants to turn the quests in, oh and if the quests says active dont take it off the board since they can be done at anytime."
"Okayyy, thanks."
saying thank you one more time I immediatly head out the guild and then after a few minutes heading outside of the town gate I decide to enter the left most forest.
Heading inside the forest it only took a few minutes before I found my first slime, deciding to appraise it first before doing anything else.

Green Slime Lv: 1
SKILLS: Poison Spit Lv: 1
"Yes it was a success" I said quietly while pulling out my dagger. Deciding I should get this over with quickly I rush towards the slime slashing at it and cutting it clean in half.
"Wow that was easier than I though it would be, must be because it was only a level 1 slime."
Picking up the slime core and putting it in my backpack I quickly move on not wanting to stay in one place for to long in case there are other monsters around. Moving on past the slime im looking for some of the herbs im supposed to pick up when I see a strange plant at the base of a tree that look like three roots spout out from the ground.
Summer Root
A herb used to heal minor injuries
Cures Status: Bleeding (Minor)
"OHHH I found one already that was quick, I hope they are all this easy to find but how do I get it without damaging them?" Deciding to play it save i dig around the plant slowly digging under it to pull it out of the ground. finaly pully it u after 3 minutes of digging i pull the plant out of the ground with a clump of dirt still around the roots of the plant, ptting the plant inside the backpack I get up and continue on into the forest.

Not long after leaving the spot where I picking the summer root I hear a strange sounds in the distance deciding to check out what it was I crouch down and slwly move forward seeing 2 Goblins sitting against a tree one with a club, and the other bare handed both wearing nothing but a loin cloth. while sneacking forward I stop behind a bush and appraise the goblins.

*THWACK*
"GI??" the goblins spooked both get up and look towards where the sound came from the goblin with the club pointing towards the soud saying something to the other in their weird language. The bare handed one walks over to the sound.
Sneaking around the back of the one with the club I slowly approach him as soon as I am about 2 feet away from the goblin it begins to turn around, not waiting a second longer I quickly lung at the Goblin stabing it in the side.
"GA, GIGI"
it yells out warning the other goblin of my presence. but before the other gobling can rush over I quickly pull the knife out of him quickly slashing across its chest and then stabbing my dagger deep into its thoat silencing it. as I turn around and see the lats Goblin rushing at me angree at me for killing its friend. I quickly pick up the dead goblins club and rush at towards the goblin, swinging the club I impact the goblin sending it stumbling back and falling over, not wanting to lose this chance I rush to the goblin and quickly stab in the head with my dagger killing it.
*DING*
LEVEL UP!!
"PHEW that was exhausting, that could have gone a lot worse had I not destracted the first one and snuck up on the second."
Grabbing my dagger I walk over to the first goblin and cut both of its ears of then walking over to then next and doing the same. Continueing on into the forest I collect another 9 Summer Root, kill 5 more green sime, and 1 more goblin and gaining another level before heading back into town.

"The goblins have cores too? that sucks wish i knew that earlier."
Natasha gives me a strange look be fore telling me that every monster has a magic core the only things that dont have a core would me normal animal. I nod and put the Herbs in the green basket and slime cores and goblin ears in the brown basket.
"lets see here 1 bundle of herbs, 6 slime cores, and 3 goblin ears. Here you are 2 silver and 40 copper."
"Thanks I hink i'm going to turn n for the rest of the night. here is 10 copper for the room"
