Chapter 3: I Am Immortal, I Think?
Hah… I have been walking through these dense trees for a while now and my thirst is becoming greater. I have gained a new skill though. <Poison Resistance (Lvl 2)>, yeah, so I got <Poison Resistance> to level two after eating a few poisonous plants. By a few, I mean a few pounds… Don't call me fat! This stupid <Gluttony> skill makes me hungry all the time and I will tell you even though the plants were poisonous it still tasted very good! They were a little sweet and a little sour. But anyway I was able to get it to level two. I did find that eating the same kind of plants will not grant much in the way of more skill levels. So multiple kinds of items would need to be eaten in order to raise the levels of these skills.
I did find out however that my teeth are very sturdy. I know what you're thinking right. Who would test the strength of their teeth? Well, I did! <Gluttony> says I can eat anything, So I picked up the hardest rock I could find and gently bit into it. As soon as it was in my mouth the rock was like butter, my teeth easily sliced into it and I was able to chew it up as if I was eating pudding. Now I only took one bite, mainly because the rock had no effects on it and secondly it really tasted bad. It was like eating a mouth full of dirt. To be honest I would rather never eat a rock again unless I was forced to in order to gain some kind of skill.
But getting back to matters at hand, this forest was really dense. It was more of a jungle than a forest but you could still move around in it. I think I walked almost four or five hours before I finally found an open field. And well you know how I keep saying stuff about slimes... Well… In front of me is said slime.
[Name] Blue Slime
[Race] Slime
[Level] 2
[HP] 20/20
[MP] 5/5
[Skills] Tackle (Lvl 4), Regeneration (Lvl 5)
So although it seems weaker than me it's skills kind of scare me. I mean it has <Tackle (Lvl 4)>
And <Regeneration (Lvl 5)>, I mean isn't this a bit unfair. I am level one with no weapon, really. Unless you call my hand full of rocks and this sharpened wooden stick a weapon. The attack power on the stick alone is only five points and the rocks are three to ten. I guess it's based on the force I throw them at.
Well… I guess there is only one thing to do in this situation and that is to see whose regeneration is better, my High Speed Regeneration (MAX) of this slime's <Regeneration (Lvl 5)>! Okay, I am not so stupid to think that there really is a comparison here where my regeneration is high speed and is maxed out, but I have yet to test it out. Mainly because I am afraid of pain and since I am afraid of pain there is no way I would have tried to stab myself or anything. Never mind cutting a limb off to test such a skill out.
So my only option is since I can not do such a thing myself, at least I think so anyway. I will see what happens when this slime attacks me. Hopefully, it attacks me. What, I am a closet masochist? Did I not just say I am afraid of pain? Geez… Anyway! I had spent almost an hour in the bushes gaining the courage just to jump out here and now I am staring eye to eye with this slime. Well, I think it's an eye? I guess it doesn't matter. It turned its body towards me I think, so I can only assume it is looking at me. At least I think so anyway. Oh! It's bouncing this way. It seems to be moving faster… wait why the hell is this thing so quick! I am not emotionally prepared! "Ahh!"
Yes, I screamed, the slime rammed into me and knocked me on my butt. But… Although it rammed into me, it did not do any damage… Wait, it did no damage? Now that I think about it. I think I tripped over my own two legs that is why I fell. Because this slime has been bombarding me this entire time and still nothing has happened. Oh, wait my HP is dropping by one point but automatically going back up. I see, so this is why I am not suffering anything. There is not even any pain.
If it's like this I guess I won't be able to test my <High Speed Regeneration (MAX)>. I guess I Have no other choice… Yes I know I just said I was afraid of pain but I need to know if this skill works like it should before I venture too far. I mean, what if I run into one of those pig faced creatures again? If I can regenerate quickly while fighting it, wouldn't that make it possible for me to have bacon?
With no other choice and completely ignoring the slime next to me, I raise my sharpened stick and slam it down on my hand. Just before I did, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth waiting for the pain to shoot through my arm, but no such thing came. I mean, there is nothing there, no pain whatsoever. I opened my eyes and lifted the stick out of my hand and watched with widened eyes as my hand healed. I checked my HP quickly and it only dropped by five points but went back up to max health before I could even blink. So it seems <High Speed Regeneration (MAX)> actually recovers my HP as well. Even the hole I put into my hand disappeared. But thankfully there was no pain. That was what scared me the most. So my conclusion on this is that I am immortal… I think?
