Session 30 - That time I was reincarnated into another world and ran into an insurmountable foe
I stared up at the three-story high slime as it jiggled menacingly above me. I had already appraised him once, but still didn't know his stats, so I appraised him again, using my appraisal skill [Appraisal (but secretly infinite knowledge)]:

I gulped audibly. This was no trash mob! I couldn't help but shake in my cool Isekai boots as I realized that this monster was Level 35! That was over 11.5 times stronger than me, in levels! How could I possibly hope to defeat this monster?!
"Wanda, we gotta book it!" I shouted, before turning to flee. I activated all of my movement skills and began running, as Wanda stared at me, flabbergasted.
"Wan! Why are you running?" she demanded, running after me and leaping over a bush. The [Slime King] warbled and began hopping towards us, landing with a gentle earthshaking thump at the end of each bounce.
"We can't beat it!" I shouted, "It's too strong! We need to get help!"
Wanda gave me an incredulous look as I looked back over my shoulder at her. My eyes were drawn from her to the massive aspic antagonist behind her. The [Slime King] was gaining on us! Well, it was gaining on Wanda, I could still run about 3x as fast, but I would have to yell louder if I got further away, and I didn't feel like straining my voice.
"That thing is level 35!" I explained. "I'm level 3! What's the point of a cool isekai badass LitRPG [World System] if not to compare how strong something is compared to another thing?!"
"Wan! It's a cheap tool which takes the place of character development in a way that doesn't require emotional growth, self-actualization, or achievement of long-term goals. It's also a Skinner Box that lets the readers see numbers going up and get a feeling of achievement-by-proxy. It's like a surrogate activity without having to do anything, Wan!"
"Huh?"
"Wan! Numbers go up, Master!"
I nodded to myself. She had a good point, numbers going up was always a good thing. I casually used my [Mind Bullets] skill to kill a couple dozen more slimes.

Karma++!
Flush with the immediate rush of dopamine, I turned to appraise the situation (with my mind, not my appraisal skill, [Appraisal (but secretly infinite knowledge)]). We had gone behind the city, because there was nobody there. Unfortunately, this meant that there was nobody here. We'd have to go all the way back to the city walls to get help. But... with a monster this strong... could anybody help us? We might just have to flee entirely.
"Wan... it's catching up!" Wanda informed me, looking back nervously at the [Slime King].
I grit my teeth, reaching my hand out behind me. "It's alright, follow me! I'll get us free! Trust me, and we can escape to the city!"
Wanda frowned. "Wan! Tons of people are going to die if we do that, wan!"
Shock ran through me. I hadn't stopped to consider that my actions had consequences. In general, but also specifically with this course of action! The giant, powerful boss monster would cause people to get hurt? Hurt enough to become killed? Could I really be responsible for something so evil? People died if they were killed...
"If we do that..." Wanda said, gloom cast over her face, "they'll be able to blame it on us. We were the only ones who came this way, wan..."
Poor Wanda! She looked so sad, like a puppy whose ball was too big to fit in their mouth. She must be really torn up about the idea of innocent people getting hurt. Could I really stand by while a cute girl was sad? I growled to myself, clenching my fists and my resolve. No! It was up to us to defeat this monster. Besides, this was clearly some kind of important monster, wasn't it? One look at the crown was enough to confirm it for me.

There was no way some random background characters like legendary adventurers or a well-trained militia could ever handle such a fiend on their own. We might just be the only ones who could beat it. But... how? I scratched my head, then suddenly inspiration struck me, like a drug addict coming out of a dark alley with a truncheon.
"Wanda!" I shouted. "What was that thing you said earlier?"
Wanda blinked at me. " 'Wan! I killed a guy?' " she asked.
I shook my head. "No, not that far back. The thing you said a few paragraphs ago, immediately after that random bullshit I ignored."
Wanda furrowed her brows and gave me a partially-gruntled expression. "You mean, 'Numbers Go Up'?" She asked.
I grinned a smile. "That's exactly right. That's how we'll beat this monster!"
I stopped running and pointed finger guns at Wanda.
"SLAVE ARTES: [Boost Attributes (Physical)]! SLAVE ARTES: [Gladiator Spirit]!" I activated. At once, Wanda's body began to glow, as my buffing skills imbued her with significant power! I appraised her stats using my [Appraisal (but secretly infinite knowledge)] skill:

"You'll be able to beat him now!" I declared. Wanda looked at me like I was a lunatic. I saw that I had to explain further, because I was very sane, and needed to make sure she understood that.
I used [Instant Costume Change] to put on a pair of glasses so that I could adjust them, allowing light to glint off of them ominously.
"With the buffs to your stats, your [Dexterity] is higher than his. This should allow you to avoid his attacks! With your superior speed, you're sure to win!"
Wanda looked up doubtfully at the three-story-high, three-story-wide monster. I found a nice rock to sit on to watch her fight. I was glad I'd bought a slave. I would have hated to have fought this dangerous monster alone!
"Aren't you going to help, wan?" she asked.
I blinked at her, confused. Had she missed the buffs? I made a finger-gun and gestured to it with my other hand, which earned me an eye-roll of understanding. If I let her defeat it on her own, she'd get a lot stronger, and could catch up to me faster.
"Tch," she said, impressed with my cunning strategic mind. I tossed her a sword I had made using [Create Sword], and she stared down the giant monster, eating a piece of candy for good luck.
I smiled again. I was going to get to see her fight! This was going to be waku-waku as fuck! (TL Note: Waku-waku means 'Heh... looks like things are getting interesting...') I raised my fist to cheer Wanda on, as the dog-girl darted to the side, flanking the enemy.
The King Slime wobbled and shot out a few blasts of gel, which she expertly dodged, ducking low under one, rolling to the left to avoid another, before nimbly leapfrogging a third, breaking into a sprint directly for the [King Slime]. She ducked low under a swing of a slimy [Prehensile Stomach] tentacle, before lunging up to deliver a cleaving strike across the slime's bulk. The sword dug deep into the slime's body, cutting an arc several feet long before becoming wedged hilt-deep into its girth.
Wanda swore a few times, tugging on the sword. She gave it one more heave before giving up on it and rolling backwards away from a slam of the [King Slime's] [Prehensile Stomach].
As if in response, the monster began to compress, then leaped into the air, soaring like a giant, disgusting, gelatinous eagle. It briefly blotted out the sun with its mass before streaking back to earth, directly for Wanda. Wanda leapt out of the way, rolling a good 30 feet, before still being engulfed in an earth-shattering slam beneath its weight. The dust cleared, and I saw Wanda's head emerging from the bulk of the [King Slime], with the rest of her body encased in its jelly form, like some kind of fucked up 1950s dessert.
"Oh shit," I gasped. I ran towards Wanda, worried about whether I had recorded that to submit to an Epic Fail compilation later, and also about whether she was okay.
"Are you okay?!" I shouted, powersliding as I reached her, so that I could more accurately assess her condition. I quickly appraised her using my [Appraisal (but secretly infinite knowledge)] Skill, and confirmed that she still had HP left. Phew! That meant she was completely fine.
I looked at her and noticed that her entire body was encased in the [Slime King]. I blushed a bit and scratched the back of my head.
"Jeez," I said, "I guess you messed up, huh?"
"Somebody did, wan." She said, her voice tinged with some kind of sharp emotion. It sounded accusatory, but I'm not sure who she might be blaming, because it's not like the receptionist told us to fight [King Slimes]. I stared at her and noticed that her clothes seemed to be dissolving slowly. T-that was!
"Are you, um... okay?" I asked with a blush, my forbidden knowledge of slimes and the kind of shenanigans they get up to filling my mind suddenly. Wanda scrutinized my face, and seemed to understand my thoughts.
"It's not that type of Slime, Master. Those ones are purple, wan! It's just dissolving me."
"Oh, I understand," I Naruhodoed. "You seem, uh, pretty calm."
"I can't feel anything except the voices, wan!" she informed me.
I nodded, jealous of whatever badass resistance skill she was talking about. Still... she didn't look like she'd be able to do much against the [King Slime] like that. I guess... it was up to me.
I slowly drew my katana, staring up at the monster with grim resolve. I... might not survive this fight... but I had to fight, even if I knew I had no chance of winning. Pointlessly throwing my life away in an unwinnable fight is what a real hero does! And I was a real hero, because it said so in my [Status]!
I flourished my sword as the [King Slime] focused on me. Were you watching, Kamiko?
"Let's dance," I said, hoping it sounded as cool out loud as it did in my head.
