The first enemy has been killed! Well, ‘Second’, but, whatever. Her EXP bar went up slightly too! 20 more, and she’s on her way to Level 2! Her gamer heart jumped for joy at the thought of that sweet level up.
But enough thinking, let’s head outside! Killing that green goblin from earlier had at least boosted her confidence in herself by an adequate amount. Not enough to make her forget getting surrounded and played around by slimes, but enough to at least let her gaming instincts take over.
Outside, the sun was hanging overhead, but the lush green canopy of leaves above her kept the sunlight from reaching the ground below. Thin shadows casted upon the soil, dimming the vision she had. But little did she know, that this would become her salvation!
But that’s the future! Let’s take a look at her skills!

Just like expected, her Exp count had went up! Woohoo! First 20%, 80% remaining! Time to finally get this ‘Peasant’ class out of her sight! And get a cool class, like a knight, or a mage, a priest maybe? How about a ranger?
But she’s a slime girl.
“It’s dark…”
Tightly holding onto the silver knife in her hand, she slowly made her way through the shadowy forest. She was always on edge, the slightest noise caused her to tense up and look around. The fear of monsters visibly present in her face.
Even if she did win that battle against that goblin, that was just her being lucky. That goblin didn’t have any magic to attack her, and her slime form allowed her to negate any and all physical damage. But what if the enemy had magic? Or was sturdy enough to wait until her MP and SP ran out?
She didn’t want to imagine it, the thought of her dying in this world.
Ah, but she just imagined it…
*Trik*
“?!”
She froze and looked around, her eyes vigilantly watching for anything in sight. Sweat formed on her cheeks, her tension reaching its peak. *Trik* Again! This time, it was close enough that she actually knew where it came from. Fearfully, she slowly turned around, and-
There was a white bunny, cutely staring up to her with its beady eyes.
“So cute!......What the f*ck did I just say?!”
“Nyu?”
Diana was lost in her own world, not realising that the bunny was slowly inching closer and closer to her. Letting out a cute giggle, the bunny readied its legs, and leaped straight for her chest!
“E-Eh?!”
By instinct, she activated [Slime Valley], and let the bunny faze through her slimy body, at the cost of losing her MP. Sweat formed on her already glistening body as she prepared her knife. She brought the knife down, but the bunny dodged the strike.
“Nyu!”
“Damnit!”
Returning to her human form, she stood on guard and watched, the bunny giggling as it circled around her. Little bunny feet marks formed on the dirt as it hopped from one location to another, keeping its velocity at its peak.
Until finally, it leaped again!
“Die, damnit!”
Changing to her slime form again, the bunny easily fazed through her slimy body, popping out onto the other side. But that was the last thing it did, as a knife impaled through its white fur. Blood was spilled in the name of survival!
[Enemy has been slain. Gained 5 experience]
[Congratulations! [Slime Valley] is now Level 2!]
“Wow, that was fast.”
Not that she minded of course. Any and all upgrades she could receive would help her greatly. But this turns her into a slime girl…Okay, enough of that! Being a slime girl helps! Case closed!
“Let’s see!”
A tinge of excitement was mixed in as she brought up her status. Obviously, she was still a NEET at heart, and these game features were everything to her. The one thing he liked the most out of these systems, was watching herself level up! Duh.
[Slime Valley]
Lv 2/10
“Harness your inner slime girl and go *Kupyu~!*”
Allows you to shift into a slime girl. Consumes 18 MP and SP every minute.
Taking any physical damage will lower your current MP by 20%.
Slime form negates all physical damage, but you take 300% more magical damage.
Being a slime girl allows you to shift and morph your body to your own will.
“Ooh!”
Look! Looky look! There’s a new line added! Look at that! Oh, the feeling of gaining more power filled her in satisfaction, and ease as she had a higher chance of survival. This IS the real world now, you know.
But she couldn’t test it now, since it seems another being heard their bout and decided to join in.
“Gugha?”
To her left, she saw the familiar green skinned child. Its face was wrinkly and its mouth twisted into a disgusting grin. A wooden staff was held in its left arm, seemingly pulsating with a tiny amount of energy.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
A new challenger comes in!
Normally, she would try and battle, but this battle was beyond her league! This monster had magic in its fingertips! No way in hell is she battling that now! She would die a thousand times over!
“[Schton Bulyet]!”
The goblin shouted something, and above its wooden staff, formed a small earthen boulder. The ragged and misshaped boulder spun around in the air, waiting for its caster to release it upon its enemy, and release it will!
*Bum!*
“Gua?!”
At a speed she had only seen on baseball matches, on TV of course, the earth boulder shot out and hit her back. A soft cry escaped her lips and she toppled over, swearing that she had heard some of her bones crack fall apart. Of course, she was exaggerating.
But damn that thing hurt! And she can’t even use her [Slime Valley] for this!
Well, you know the best tactic for something like this!
“Run away!!!”
“G-Gugha?!”
In haste, Diana turned towards the direction of her cave, and ran! Run with her tail in between her ass! Not that she had a tail, but what the hell, let’s go with that! Ruuuunnn!!!
“Gugha!!”
The goblin flew into a rage and ran at her, casting more earth boulders at her. She barely managed to avoid them, the earthen tennis balls flying all around her, hitting and smashing into trees, the ground, the dead body of the bunny. You know, usual nature stuff.
But soon enough, the goblin lost track of her in this darkness, and shrugged its shoulder. Trying to chase this prey was getting annoying, so its time to sleep! Was the thought that went through its head as it retreated back to its home in the distance.
“Hah…hah…hah…”
The flee was a success! She was back at her cave, panting heavily as she rested her back against the stone walls. No experience was gained from that battle, but whatever, she lived! That was more important, damnit!
She took a quick look at her condition.

And as you can see, she was hit down to 6 HP! 6! That earth tennis ball she got hit by took out 4 HP?! From her 10?! That was almost half! What the hell?! That was supposed to be a low level enemy, right?!
“No…calm down me…”
Sitting down, she placed down her silver knife and sighed in defeat. Trying to shout to herself about her problems would only make things worse, maybe. She had never actually gone past middle school, so she never really knew.
Just to know, she fully descended into darkness at the young age of 12, so…yeah.
Looking up at the rocky ceiling, she recalled the description she read before she was interrupted by that damn goblin that almost brought her life to the reaper.
[Slime Valley]
Lv 2/10
“Harness your inner slime girl and go *Kupyu~!*”
Allows you to shift into a slime girl. Consumes 18 MP and SP every minute.
Taking any physical damage will lower your current MP by 20%.
Slime form negates all physical damage, but you take 300% more magical damage.
Being a slime girl allows you to shift and morph your body to your own will.
Besides the decrease in MP and SP usage, there’s a new message added on the bottom. Now, she had the ability to shift and morph her slimy body to her will! Actually, isn’t that a standard of all slimes? Why is that hidden behind the Level 2 mark?
Time to test it out!
“Yosh!”
Jumping back up, she activated her [Slime Valley] once more, watching as her clothing fell through her slimy figure. She became slightly shy, but knowing there was no one to watch her, she immediately began her test.
She extended her hand, and using a piece of clay as an example, she began to twist her arm in an unnatural direction. She didn’t feel any pain from it, but watching her arm like that made her cringe non-stop, so she returned it back to normal.
The next one he wanted to try out was something he had in his mind since he first received this skill. That question was, ‘Can I detach a bit of my slime?’ It sounded stupid, and absolutely useless, but why not?
As if she was ripping off a bit of clay from herself, she slowly tore off a bit of herself, and brought it in front of her. The small slime ball casually floated in front of her eyes, spinning and wobbling slightly as she played around with it like some kind of yoyo.
And after a while, her efforts bore fruit!
[[Slime Magic] has been acquired. 1 Skill Point gained]
“Yes! Finally!”
In a rush, she quickly stopped her [Slime Valley] and returned to her human form. She had gotten dangerously close to 0 MP and SP, and she didn’t know what would happen then. Would she be stuck as a slime girl? Or would she explode like some food in a microwave? Who knows?
But this new [Slime Magic] interested her deeply!
[Slime Magic]
Lv 1/10
Allows you to create and manipulate slime in expense of MP
The nature of the slime you create is neutral
“Hmm?”
Neutral? Does that mean that every different type of magic had their own nature? Well, fire would be, well fire. And water would be, well, water. That should be obvious. But what about gravity? Or paralysis? Or death?! Well, granted they exist.
But whatever, that can come later!
“Muaa…”
Her SP was extremely low, just one point above the empty 0. Her body felt weak and heavy, and she was struggling to keep her eyes open. Within the comfort of her cave, she slowly fell asleep.
………………….
“Ngh…”
How much time had passed since she last fell asleep? She didn’t know, and she had no way of finding out. But the sun was still out, so she either slept for a short amount of time, or she slept for so long that another day passed by. She guessed it as the latter.
She was a heavy sleeper, alright? She’s a NEET at heart, so she had no schedule on these things!
But that aside, her condition was back to full! Her SP was no longer just barely above 0! Yay for no dying again!
But let’s put that aside for now, she has more important things to try out! Mainly, her [Slime Magic]! She had absolutely no clue on how to do this, or if this skill was even useful or not? But hey, it could be a nice party trick if he needed him.
Or it could be that one skill that just becomes super strong with sweat and dedication! Who knows!
But, onto the topic! Trying to actually do this magic was much harder than she first expected. Sure, she knew how to morph or shape herself in her slime form, but creating more slime? How does that even work?
She tried several different approaches, but all ended with a failure and her smashing her head into the wall because of the mental pain it brought her. Surprisingly, no blood came out, but still! Why is this so hard to learn?!
How do those protagonists learn magic so quick?! They just see it, try it a couple times, and bam! The magic is theirs! But what the hell is this?! This is like Dark Souls level hard!! Give her an easy difficulty damnit!!
“Hah…I’m hungry.”
Leaning her back against the wall, she sighed and stared at her hands. The feminine fingers she had and that smooth skin only reminded her of how much she had changed from her male counterpart. And she also noticed a slight personality change.
Honestly, she was terrified. The thought of fully losing the old her to a new personality shook her heart to the bottom of the earth. She couldn’t even fathom how that would happen, but its already beginning.
Calling the slimes cute, calling that bunny cute, her shyness when it came to her own naked body, these feelings were not something she normally had. Back as a boy, she didn’t have any shame about this. Actually, shouldn’t she feel excited about being a girl? Her anime dreams of being gender bended had come true! Yet, these fears overtook her excitement.
*Boink, Boink!*
But, more on that later. Turning over to the cave entrance, she saw a single lone green slime, bobbing up and down with a red apple floating around inside its body. The slime happily approached her and dropped the apple off.
“T-Thank you.”
The slime bobbed up happily and left the cave, leaving her behind with a red apple in hand. She stared at the apple, unconsciously smiling as she nibbled on the sweet fruit.
“Mmm…”
Somehow, even though those slimes had played and assaulted her, she couldn’t feel any hostility from those green blobs. No, it was more like they were incapable of such thoughts. Heck! They might not even realise her feelings when they were sliming her!
But either ways, she was thankful. Because of those cuties, she had lived and…Oh god, did she just think of them as cute again…?
“O-Oh god…”
*Nom*
But more on that later. This apple tastes great!
