CHAPTER THREE
Status is determined by the gods, but mine is...
~
Achievements weren’t the only thing that everyone could see
Saying ‘status’ would reveal your status screen quickly
There you’d see your title, class, and status all quantified
And a divine message meant to fill you up with pride
The message and the stats all changed as your achievements grew
Sometimes there could even be a few gods watching you
Gods and goddesses would pick a child to watch over
Like a guardian angel or some divine helper
Twig’s own father once received advice from gods of fire
That let him cast a hundred balls of flame and never tire
His mother had the blessing of the goddess of the sword
And all his sisters had gods by which they were all adored
Twig had yet to learn the identity of his watcher
It was strange but he assumed they’d be revealed later
He asked his friends one day to share the statuses they’d earned
And twig was more than just slightly surprised by what he learned

A dainty girl comparable to an elven priestess
To say the least she’s just as fair as any known goddess
Even the ground would hesitate to touch a girl so fair
That is why she tends to favour floating through the air
His friends all had amazing blessings from their deities
Recognized achievements which they seemed to earn with ease
Their achievements boosted all their stats in different ways
Some of them got new blessings every three or four days
But when he looked back at his own his tears began to fall
None of his base stats had ever been boosted at all
His class and titles seemed more like a joke than a blessing
And his divine advice was was definitely the worst thing

A useless waste of time who would be better off at home
A nuisance to the world wherever he should choose to roam
His only aptitude is cleaning up his messy house
He should do his chores while being quiet as a mouse

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week.

The Tower of Opportunity
Criminals from around the world are summoned by "God" to climb to the top of the Tower of Opportunity, in which they can do whatever they please and gain powers and abilities beyond their wildest dreams, the only caveat being that their lifespan has been reduced to 3 months and every floor conquered gives each conqueror another two week extension to their lifespan. Watch our protagonist's journey to climb the tower, sentenced to endlessly repeat his struggles as he has been damned to never die, only start over his journey from the beginning if he does. *** Author's Note: This is the first story I have ever written, if you are tuning in when this is being written put some suggestions in the comments of the chapter, I will possibly incorporate them into the story in the future. I also occasionally do reader polls that involve how the story will progress, so make sure to vote on them, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover. *** This story is currently being rewritten. If you would like to read it, click here.
