"Phew, that cow ran away. Farewell my first lunch since birth, I will miss you a lot ☹"

"I need to gear up and level up. I have a system with me and maybe I can level up and get some skills. I can't just run away or wait for enemy to spare my life like the 'fight' with that cow." Skely thought.

Skely: Jello, I know you are a slime, but do you know any place to farm and level up?"

Jello: ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

Skely: That's a yes rite?

Jello: ୧ʕ ⇀ ⌂ ↼ ʔ୨

Skely: Okie, I'll follow you to that place then.

After walking for a while, finally Skely and Jello went to a place full of Skely's homie.

(¬_¬)

Skely: Dude! I asked for a place to farm not to die man!

Jello: (*￣m￣)

Skely: Alright! Alright! This is a maze after all. Let's lure one out so I can practice some martial arts. Maybe I will have an old grandpa to teach me stuffs or maybe I can fall into a valley then become a Martial Artist Master after receiving some Ultimate Secret Sacred something.

Jello: *No emotion*

Skely: Go Jello, I choose you.

Jello: *Pika Pika*

Jello lured out a big Skeleton with a heavy armor, a big sword and a shield. Skely was in a ready stance

- Skeleton slashed Skely.

- Skely blocked it with a sword.

- Jello used hit and finished Skeleton.

- Skeleton dropped a soul essence, a heavy armor, and a shield.

It was Skely's first serious fight. Skely was almost panic and couldn't block the slash. Somehow, he managed to block it with his instinct in a mere second. He couldn't realize that his fighting instinct was already in his soul for a while before he became a Skeleton with a human mindset. He has been shaken the whole time not because of fear but the thrill of fighting again.

"Nice job dude! Let's loot this monster."

After changing all the equipment, Skely looked at his old stuffs. "Hmm, what should I do with these items? Hey System, do you have inventory like any other usual novels?"

- Open Inventory

( ಠ ಠ ) At least give me a manual to use this system, you monkey Author. Let's see! I have 20 slots here. Oh! Look at this, this is my equipped items, and this is my space to put items in.

Skely threw in all his old items. Skely picked up Soul Essence. "Hey system, just look at this. Can you tell me what this is for?"

- Skely used inspected

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

- Soul Essence can be used to level up your skills and items. Soul Essence could be dropped from Elite Monster and Bosses.

"Oh! I killed 2 Elite Homies already! What are you doing Jello? Why are you devouring my homie ☹?

Jello: 'Gave Skely the look: You just killed them and used me as a meat shield. Now you are talking about me eating your homie????'

Skely: Okie! Okie! Let's see how I can use the first Soul Essence I've received from 9th floor.

- Use Soul Essence

- Learned new skill: Back Step (Self-casting, CD: 1 minute)

- Back Step can be used to dodge a physical attack.

Skely gave Jello a Soul Essence. Jello looked at that and shake his body.

"Oh, you couldn't use this huh?"

Jello: ໒( ᓀ ‸ ᓂ )७ Kept on devouring the Skeleton.

"Okie, I'll use this then."

- Use Soul Essence

- Learned new skill: Speedster (Self-casting, CD: 30 minutes)

- Speedster can be used to double your agility for 5 seconds.

Skely was channeling the Soul Essence and didn't notice Jello's orb brighten up a bit after finish devouring. Jello's color turn from Black to Yellow and from Yellow to Black repeatedly. Jello's orb finally stop brightening. Jello became increasingly darken. Jello was shaken a lot. If Skely was conscious at this moment, he will notice that Jello got a small horizontal split in the middle of his body.

After learning new skill, Skely noticed Jello's changes.

"Did you just evolve or something? How do you look much cooler than before?"

Jello: ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

Skely: Oh! You became stronger. What can you do besides Spitting and being a meatshield?

Jello suddenly opened his split. It was a huge eye ball.

Skely: Dude!!!! How the heck did you get an eye? So cool...

Jello closed his eye. Jello seemed like too exhausted to open that eye.

Skely: Oh! You can only open it once and then close it… Still cool… Maybe you will gain Sharingan someday dude.

Jello: (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Jello moved to a corner and sat there taking a rest. Jello was too exhausted from the evolution. Skely decided to take on the Skeleton's pack alone. Our MC was not that boosted to go against a whole pack. He lured one by one out. Used his Rush-Slash-Back Steb-Slash combo to finish one by one. After finishing each Skeleton, he sat and rest for his HP to completely heal.

After the clear, he didn't gain any other Soul Essence or items. Skely thought maybe it was because the first two monsters he killed was Elite Monsters.

Narrator: His first day in Labyrinth was almost done. Jello was still asleep. Skely picked Jello up and find a corner to sleep. They didn't know what will be waiting for them the next day.
