《Greed》Chapter 2: Trouble
Advertisement
While moving on, Kei noted that he would come back later to pick up the slime nuclear core once he found a body that was big enough to carry it. Since he did not have the “observe” ability, getting stronger and finding someone with the skill was the main priority.
(Let’s see. I should probably move around as a slime to get around here faster.)
[“Activate Slime Mimicry”]
{“Slime Mimicry” has been activated.}
Kei noticed that he felt much lighter, despite the increase in size. He was also able to move quite a lot faster in this form. Immediately, he spotted a group of five or six slimes not too far ahead. He had devised a plan to deal with them if the situation were to arise.
Surprisingly, when disguised as a slime, the other slimes did not seem to be aggressive. Kei took advantage of this opportunity by stealing their fire resistance to strengthen his own. His “Fire Resistance (beginner)” changed to “Fire Resistance (beginner-strengthened).
(These slimes are making this too easy!)
He also began to execute his plan in order to defeat the slimes with little to no effort. He bounced into the torches on the sides of the cave to knock them over next to the other slimes. From his previous altercation, he reasoned that by having stolen their own skills, he could set them on fire as a result of there being no resistance to it. The five slimes that were obstructing his path slowly melted away. Also, having defeated a large quantity of monsters, Kei received a large amount of experience points (EXP). He then heard the voice from his head.
{Having gained sufficient EXP, Kei has jumped from level 1 to level 3.}
Unsure of how the level system worked in this world, Kei was even more eager to communicate with someone. This way, he could potentially find cheats and strategies to get more, faster.

(I need to find someone quickly! It’ll also be funny to see how they react when I steal their skills after they tell me everything.)
In the process of planning ahead and bouncing forward in his slime form, Kei could see a bright light not too far ahead. He was positive that this was his way out of the cave. But, what lay in front him quickly discouraged him.
Loud voice: [“Takka Tuk la makka mak Luk!”]
(Holy shit! Shit, shit, shit! I did not expect this to happen so soon!)
A few feet away was a hunched, average-sized green monster. Its face was twisted-looking and all of its features were quite unpleasant. It seemed to be a male. On its hand was a wooden stick shaped like a spear and the expression on its face displayed a menacing glare.
(A goblin!? Crap this is going to be tough. But, I can’t wait to see what skills I can steal from this guy.)
The new challenge that appeared before Kei, left him both anxious and excited.

Follow a collection of chance encounters turned potential allies as numerous forces work to tear through the fabric of reality. Viamarr, a continent in the world of Rinterria, holds host to our tale and to the city of High Morr, which sits snugly on its frozen island in the middle of a great frostbitten lagoon. When High Morr is suddenly crippled by a series of mysterious sinkholes, our heroes do what they do best. Try to run. Keep up with them to find out where they end up and what exactly is chasing them in return. I hope to publish a new chapter 3 times a week. This is reduced from my previous number, hopefully temporarily, due to an increased workload outside of Royal Road. I welcome any and all feedback to improve my writing, so thank you for taking the time to check out my page.
8 219In Pursuit of Bark's Finest
On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted. Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous. Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest. And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty. This is her story. This story is entirely pre-written, and will have one chapter released per week. If you want to read it all ahead of schedule and get access to some premium-exclusive bonus content, the entire book is available for purchase; links to the appropriate storefront pages will be posted at the end of each chapter. This story is also being posted to Scribblehub.
