I quickly hit no, I’m getting my money’s worth on these slimes. Also being one slime from leveling was a big factor. I know how to fight slimes, I don’t know what will come next and I should be as ready as possible.
I did wonder how slime fluidity worked. It was probably due to the almost gelatin-like form the slimes had. Now that I’m thinking about it that has to be it, it's a Bingham plastic. It was solid but as I applied more pressure it became less so.
[Slime fluidity(Rare) 99%]
The notification shocked me a little bit but now that I know that finding out and understanding an ability helps me get. Just in time, I hear a slime plopping around the corner. Quickly grabbing its core I get some very nice notifications.

[Entered Stage 2. Full Replenish. Goal obtain the [Claw Strike(common)] skill]
I find myself in a savanna with knee-high grass and no trees. The only other thing I can see is a man wearing a cloak made of green scales. He sits in the lotus position, he raises his head then stands. He beckons me forward. With great caution, I approach.
He calmly moves into a pose. After a couple of seconds, I realized he wanted me to copy him. After I make the pose to the best of my ability the man breaks the pose and corrects mine. Then he reenters the pose and moves, his whole body moves in one fluid motion and ends with a simple claw strike. I slowly copy the movements to the best of my abilities but the man stops and corrects me often. Movement after movement I failed, never dissuaded but enraptured by the simplicity of the claw strike. After what seemed like mere moments I completed one claw strike. The man nods.

[Entiy force chooses Yes]
[Entered Stage 3. Full Replenish. Goal obtain the [Ogre’s Skin(Rare)] skill]
My eyes snap open, and I look around. Is this stage 2, no wait my notification says stage 3 what happened? I can kinda remember something but it feels like a fever dream. The only thing I do remember is the claw strike. Well, that was weird but what is this new stage. Right on time, the ground shakes a little. Looking around I see my next opponent and I cursed. How the fuck am I supposed to kill that monster. What I was looking at was a 12-foot tall tan-skinned tusk having ogre. Its head shifts towards me and roars. I run, ya fuck that I don’t want to die. A shin high ball of acidic goo is one thing but I can’t fight that huge fucker. I get about 10 feet before its fist slams into my back pushing me to the ground [Damage reduced]. Well if it was like that I could do this. Standing back up I attempt to roll back to get some room. I mess up and hit my head on a rock. “Fuck” I whispered under my breath before standing up only to see a fist the size of my skull rocketing towards my face. So I try and move back only to trip on my own foot sending me back to the ground. Scrambling backward I use Claw of the Departed Dragon for the first time. A semi-transparent dragon claw appeared on my hand carving a small chunk off the ogre. Inspired by this I push my advantage using claw after claw stopping only after the 5th on as the ogre falls backward dead.

That was the most stressful fight I’ve had yet the one with the least pain as I didn’t have to shove my hand into acid. Not knowing what to do, I lay down a spread out my limbs, and try and relax as I wait for next the ogre to respawn. It had been a crazy day so far with the killing of what was only fantasy a day ago. I tried to process what had happened but I just couldn’t wrap my mind around it. Every time I tried it simply slipped away. Every time I tried to think about my family I couldn’t feel anything negative, as if I didn’t care if they were going through what I was going through. Then the hunger came and I realized that I hadn’t eaten In over 20 hours, for some reason my eyes kept on drifting back to the dead ogre. I couldn’t stop looking at the ogre. My stomach rumbled and with one last glance, I dug in. It was the greatest meal of my life.

I yelp as my all teeth fall out and new, sharper ones, take their place and my hunger only grows. I gorge myself until the next ogre show only to be pounced on and shredded. I lose myself in the feast, hunting, and gorging. I continue my hunt until the ogres stop coming and I finally check the system messages.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

There's Always A Catch
Measured, clacking sounds of high-heels can be heard walking towards an elegantly decorated hall; illuminated only by the sun’s rays streaming down from glass panels, grand frescoes decorating its concave ceiling. Two imposing guards stationed at the entrance saluted as she passed by, stopping before the foot of a raised dais. “My Lady.” She reverently said, bowing deeply to the woman sitting on the throne. Eyes lazily opened and a smirk slowly forming on her tinted lips. “So it's time.” ••••• How does one act when luck granted power unimaginable. To rule? Become rich? Murder? Decisions one makes have consequences. And there’s always a catch.
