《Blue mage》Chapter 1: Blue Mage
Advertisement
I never knew how hard it was to write a letter of introduction for yourself. When does something become bragging? How do you say that you have a fun personality without sounding like a jackass? One thing I do know about this letter is that I suck at writing. I was sitting at my desk pondering how one can sound good on paper and be as good as they sounded in real life. I lean back in my chair staring at the ceiling while tapping my fingers on the desk.
Over the past eight years, I had been working towards my doctorate in veterinary medicine. From a young age, I had been fascinated by the feats that animals could achieve. I started to try and understand how they functioned over the course of my life leading me here. I’m finally going to be able to do what I want but something just doesn’t feel right.
Sighing in frustration, I stand up. Looking around at my tiny one-room apartment I can’t help but sigh. After eight years and a LOT of debt, I finally got my degree but getting a job was hard. I had been searching for a couple of months but due to my young age, 26, most places wouldn’t hire me. I was forced to work part-time at a fast-food place just to keep this rundown apartment.
I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a beer and laid down on my bed while pondering if I made the wrong choice. Right as I was coming to an answer something unexpected happened.
[System Starting]
[Transferring now]
“Huh” were the last words before I passed out.
Then I can feel myself laying on a warm comfy bed, unlike my own, and my beer is gone. Drats. Slowly I crack open one eye then the other letting the soft candlelight fill my eyes.

As I read over each option, I can’t help but wonder if this is a dream. Sadly, I was hoping it wasn’t. If something like this happened, then the past 8 years of my life would mean nothing if you could just heal anything with magic. I was hoping it was real because I need a way out of my life. Before I selected an option, I raised myself to a sitting position on the bed and got a good look around the room or cabin as it turned out.
The walls were made of rough logs of a tree I didn’t know. The same wood was used for the furniture as well with there being a dresser with a mirror on top and a bedside table and weirdly no door. Standing up I first checked the bedside table to find thick woolen socks that looked just right for my feet. I grabbed a pair before looking in the dresser to find it full of blue leather armor. Again, it looked like it was a perfect fit for me. Confused only for a second because if this was real, I doubted I could hide anything from something that just teleported me to this place. Figuring that I could use this armor I shimmied out of my old clothes and into my new armor. My guess was right and even though I didn’t know how to put on the armor it was extremely easy for me to do, and it fits perfectly.
Now snugly in my awesome new armor, I look back over the options. Mage seemed like a solid if a bit boring of a choice. There would most likely be a plethora of mages if the rest of humanity was also given this choice. Next up was doctor and I was feeling this one. It would mean that the last eight-year wouldn’t be a waste even in a magical world. But the last one was calling to me. Blue Mage, just thinking the name sent a shock down my spine. It was the most unique one on the list and it just felt right. Before I could talk myself out of it, I pressed down on Blue Mage with my index finger.

That was some info to process and before I could truly understand what was happening, another screen popped up.
[Tutorial created, skill gain up for the duration of the tutorial, starting now]
My environment changes from the cabin to a cave quicker than I can blink. I stand dumbly for a few seconds before hearing something wet splat into the ground not too far from where I am. My eyes narrow and my breath quickens. I feel a bubbling hunger flow up from my stomach and I turn around ready to indulge this instinct. As I do so a gelatinous ball slams into my chest knocking me to the floor. The breath rushes out of my lungs and my chest starts to burn. I try and force the slime off me, but my hands just push into the slime and start to burn too.
The feelings I had before are quickly growing even higher now that I feel like I’m going to die. I keep moving my hands through the slime trying to get it off me. Then my hand hits something, I grasp it and yank my hand out of the horrid creature. As soon as my hand leaves the slime it falls apart.
[Slime fluidity(Rare) 10%]
[Slime regeneration(Epic) 22%]
[Defeated lvl 1 Slime Exp Gained 50%]
I pant in exhaustion, my chest still stinging from the acidic slime. I glance at my heath, [Current Health 40/80]. I came halfway to death from what looks like a slime. This is crazy. Isn’t a slime supposed to be weak? Or am I really weak? I check my hand to find a sphere made of something in it. This was in that slime?
[Slime Core (Common), Can be used in alchemical recipes]
Then I hear it, that wet *plop*. No, not another one. I scramble to my feet and see that monster jumping towards me. The feeling bubbles up again forcing all feeling of doubt from my mind, and I make a dive for the core I tumble towards the slime and plunge my hands in searching. After a few seconds, I grab it and yank it out. The slime deflates.
[Slime fluidity(Rare) 23%]
[Slime regeneration(Epic) 45%]
[Defeated lvl 1 Slime Exp Gained 50%]
[Level up +1 to all stats and Full Replenish]
I feel something change inside of me. Something primal starts to rear its head but stops. I let out a breath and stand up and find it surprisingly easy to do so. Then that horrid *plopping* starts again. I let out a sigh, this was going to be a long tutorial.

Law of Shadows
Mercs are causing trouble in my city. They are hunting someone, whatever the cost. It’s not like I care that some lowly humans died, but if I don’t act now it would set a bad example. So what would the hero do? Probably he would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming…Yeah, as if I would ever do something so troublesome! They aren’t calling me the demon lord for no reason. I suppose I’ll just shoot the victim and be done with it.

8 81The Bad Boy's Property
There is something more about rumors you would hear around. There must be more than anything anyone could hear because a secret is indeed a secret that no one must hear, no one must know. Everyone thought they know about something if they heard rumors about it, but there must be something to surprise them about the truth because no one could know a secret once it's called a secret. No one could know the truth of a secret unless it is not a secret anymore. ---- Hi. I already have patreon profile. Please support me there.
