The next day.

… I'm pretty sure I’m still sleeping. I feel some kind of warmth and I don’t want to get up, it reminds me of me every morning before classes… if only this was like my old life.

.

- The adaptability process was successful.

- The current level of “Golem” is 1.

- Vitality and magic energy restored.

- “Golem” Is no longer a “summoned creature”.

- “summoned creature laws” no longer affect “Golem”.

- “Golem” is now a monster.

- As a monster “Golem” no longer needs a summoner or master as a source of energy, “Golem” can exist on its own.

Unique skill: Adaptation> has used almost all the energy stored in the “Monster Core: Golem”.

Unique Skill: Adaptation> can use the remaining energy of the “Monster Cores” to give certain traits to its user or to improve the user.

- Do you wish to turn the remaining energy of the monster cores into a trait or use it to improve yourself?

- YES

- NO

… and with that, I know that I'm no longer sleeping and that I no longer live in my old life. The good news is that I'm still alive… and complete. I didn’t “disappear” like I was supposed to, also, for what I can understand, now I’m free to live as I want… like a monster… I’m a monster!!! ugh, I’m still not used to this sudden change between being shocked or confused and then to being calm and in peace, it’s annoying but relaxing at the same time… anyway, I don’t know why I'm even surprised by the information, Golems aren’t humans after all, and I'm pretty sure that in video games they are considered monsters, or at least in my brother’s video games… now I wish I would have played more with him. Leaving behind the bothersome and useless thoughts, it seems like I have the chance to acquire a trait… I don’t understand what does that mean but if that helps me with my situation, then welcome!

.

- Only one trait or improvement per core.

- Choose one of the next options...

- Gain experience.

- Choose

- Improve one statistic.

- Choose

- Acquire a new skill.

- Choose

- Turn core into a material.

- Choose

- Use core to enchant an object or weapon.

- Choose

- Use core to create an object or weapon.

- Choose

- Use core to upgrade an object or weapon.

- Choose

- Use core to improve a potion or the effect of an object.-

- Choose

- Slight modification in shape.

- Choose

Wow! So many options… well, everything seems interesting but I wouldn’t know how to use most of the options, I mean, even if I turn the cores into a material I wouldn’t know what to do with the result, I don’t have objects to enchant, and I obviously don’t have something to upgrade, I don’t have any potions, so my only options would be, gain experience, improve one statistic, acquire a new ability, create an object or weapon, and finally slight modification in shape… I have to be smart in my decision, I have 2 cores and I suppose I got 1 choice per core, which means that I only have 2 chances to get something useful.

- “...”.

Hmm… let me see, I’m a Golem now, which apparently means that I don’t need to sleep unless my skill “Adaptation” is activated like last time. These days I haven’t felt any hunger, but I definitely want to eat something, so, maybe Golems eat but not as constantly as humans do… that makes sense. I could choose to gain experience but I don’t know how much experience I will receive and I also don’t know how that could help me, depending on the situation both experience and improve one of my statistics won’t be useful at all. Dammit, I just realize that I don’t really have any purpose, I just wanted to be alive but since I'm still confused about my situation I never even thought about what I would do from now on, which only makes this decision more complicated… ugh! Why did things have to turn in this way? This is so troublesome. anyway, I suppose I’ll just try to get something done and think about what to do little by little… if I consider this last realization, I still just got 3 options, I could get a new ability, but I don’t know if it’s a random ability, but depending if it’s random or not it can be really useful, on the other hand, creating an object or weapon doesn’t seem like a bad idea, but I don’t really know what I would like to create in the first place, and finally to change my shape… I have a slight idea of how I look but since I can’t see I'm not even 100% sure, also, it seems like the change will be just something small since it says “slight modification in shape” that really seems like something more superficial. honestly, the only thing I wanted this whole time, besides understanding what happened and how I got here turned into a Golem, was to see my surroundings and see what was happening in front of me…

.

- The user has chosen “slight modification in shape”.

- Adaptation activated, “slight modification in shape” will now modify the user.

- User chosen modification is to “… see my surroundings and see what was happening in front of me...”. for this modification, “Adaptation” will generate artificial eyes for the user.

- This modification requires the use of both monster cores to create artificial eyes.

- Once the cores are used these will disappear forever.

- Do you want to turn the monster cores into artificial eyes and modify your shape?

- YES

- NO

… are you kidding me? I will be able to see? This is great! I don’t care if I use artificial eyes as long as I can see again… but I will have to use both gems to create artificial eyes… well, it doesn’t really matter to me that much, to begin with, I didn’t even know what to do with one core, and if I can see as before, then it will be worth it even if I can’t create a weapon or get a new skill. My choice is yes.

- “…?”

AAAGH!!! shit… what… what is this? UGH!!! it bloody hurts!… I feel like my head is about to explode and my eyes are burning… AAAGH!!! ugh… aaagh! Shit, this is… I hate you! Stupid skill… agh… fuuu… it stopped… I just… what? Oh my god! I can see!... my hand, it’s made of stone apparently and it’s huge…

- “...!!!”

Everything looks incredible… I can see again, it seems like I'm in a kind of forest, and it’s night time. I must say that I have never seen a sky so full of stars like the one I'm seeing over my head… on the other hand, my surroundings are full of trees, which by the way are really big even compared to myself, it seems like I must be around 7 meters tall. To be honest, I never was good at measuring things especially heights, but I used to be around 1 meter 80 centimeters tall in the past, and now I'm at least 3 or 4 times bigger than before, so that’s why I believe that I must be around 7 meters tall.

… Really? For the love of God! I have a window with stats like a video game… what kind of sick shit did I get into? Ugh… Hmm… I have to stop worrying about this, there are more important matters at hand, so, first of all, I suppose I should move from this place. I still don’t know what to do but I won’t know what is happening if I don’t move, for now, the best is just to explore this place until I find a new objective…

- “...”.

I give a quick glance at my surroundings before starting to walk, and that’s how I began my adventure inside a forest without even a proper idea of where I was and what was happening…

A few hours later.

Ugh! What the hell? Does no one live in this stupidly big forest? I have been walking for… I don’t even know for how long, but I haven’t seen any creature, or animal or human or nothing, just trees everywhere. there’s a tree, there’s also a tree, around me it is full of trees, stupid forest!!!… huh? I think I can see a light on the horizon… what? It’s dawn already? Bloody hell, this is fantastic. I'm not being sarcastic, this is really perfect, it was night time so I could understand why I didn’t see any creature, even though it’s supposed that at night time the forest should be full of night predators… or at least that’s what I thought, I don’t know anything about the animal kingdom… and now I think about it I don’t know anything about this place either. Anyway, daytime means a chance of meeting someone.

- “...”.

However… I'm a Golem… how am I suppose to talk with humans if I find any? I can’t talk at all and I doubt any human would want to talk with a monster, shit, this is unbelievable, do I not have any luck at all? Fuuu… if only I could find a way of… talking? that’s it!!! just a few hours ago I couldn’t see anything except a bunch of colors with different shapes, now I can clearly see and distinct everything around me, I just need to find some kind of thing that could help me acquire the capacity to talk, I need more monster cores!!! maybe using that weird skill “Adaptation” I'll be able to talk again.

- “...!”.

Now I'm looking around in case I can find some kind of creature that gives me a monster core, this place is so full of green, bushes, trees, even the ground is so full of green that I don’t know if I'll… uh? What is that?

- “… kyw… kyw kyw...”.

Is that… jello? That weird ball of jello with weak gray almost transparent color, it seems familiar… how was it called? I think I saw it in my little brother’s video game… a slem? Slir? sleam? No, that’s not it… hmm… oh, I got it, it’s a slime… it’s really tiny and it seems pathetic, probably it’s a weak creature that anyone can kill… I'm sorry, little one, but if this world is like a video game and I can get cores by killing you, then I need to get rid of you so I can obtain your core and get the capacity to talk… take this…

- “…!”.

- “kyw… kyw kyw KY!!!...”.

- “...!!?”.

What the hell? This little jello not only received a punch from big old me, but it receives it like nothing and now seems piss off… will he attack me?

- “kyw KY!!!”.

Ugh!!! huh? I stepped back?… what is this? I'm like 7 meters tall and I doubt that thing is even 50 centimeters, how can he resist my punch and hit me so hard?… huh? Suddenly I can see it… just like before, the colors of the little jelly… what in the bloody hell? Why is its color stronger than mine? I can see both now, the creature and the color that surrounds it, and for some reason when I see my hand, the color of both of us is a little different in strength, it’s like when I saw the humanoid colors, they gave me a different sensation than the Golems that were beside me… this little one color is not as noticeable or strong as the humanoids, but certainly seems to be stronger than me… why? How can he… wait!!! didn’t I lost my level?… I’m level 1 and my color is barely noticeable even for me… could it be that this little one is of a higher level?… are you kidding me?

- “kyw kyw… kyw KY!!!”.

Ugh! Bloody hell, it is attacking me again… how can he move so fast? Ugh… shit, take this punch you little piece of shit…

- “…?”.

Did it dodge it? My legs are too short to attack with them but he can evade my punches. What do I do?… ugh!… aaagh!!! what the…???

- “KY!!! kyw kyw.. kyw… KY!!!”.

Is that thing… threatening me? How dare you? you big jello… I'm losing to a ball of jello… shit… let’s see if you can with this…

- “kyw?…? Kyw kyw… kyw!...”.

Hahahaha, you couldn’t escape my attack if I hit the ground with both my arms at the same time, the advantages of being big… why didn’t I thought about this before?… wait! That thing is still alive?

- “kyw KY!!!”.

AAAGH!!! I'm falling to the ground. Shit! How can I be so easily handled by this thing? Even if I don’t know how to fight, I'm dealing with something I used to eat when I was a kid… not literally of course, but that things are similar to jello so yeah… now, that thing doesn’t stop moving, jumping from one place to the other surprisingly fast… STOP!!!

- “ky...w… k...”.

- “...”.

Did I… did I finally kill it? The only thing I had to do to kill it was to open my big hand and slam it against the jello before he landed in a certain place so he wouldn’t have time to react and as a consequence, it would become a direct it...what is wrong with me? Why didn’t I think about that before? Ugh! I'm certainly an idiot.

Good, I level up even if it was just one level, I'm satisfied with that, but… defeating an enemy 6 level superior only gave me enough experience to increase my level by 1… and I was able to increase my level only thanks to “Adaptation” that provided me with an extra amount of experience to level up, that’s not good, even if 500 doesn’t seem like much, it can be a real pain from now on to get that amount of experience… I don’t know the criteria for monsters to give a certain amount of experience, but my skill apparently only gave me extra experience as a gift for defeating a stronger enemy, which means that defeating enemies with the same level as me or less won’t give me the bonus of experience, and considering how many levels of difference me and the slime were, I would say that once I reach a level close to 10 the experience that I receive from a slime, like this won’t be enough to keep leveling up… AAAGH!!! this is no good, I should have played more video games with my little brother, so I would have a better idea of what I should do now and how to keep leveling up… anyway, I suppose I'm really lucky that my opponent wasn’t that strong even with a higher level, yes, I should be grateful for that, now… I should keep looking for more monsters to level up and… huh? Right! I should see if the slime dropped the… there it is!!!

.

has identified “Monster Core: Slime”.

- “Monster Core: Slime” can be used with to start the process of adaptability.

- Do you wish to turn the energy of the monster core into a trait or use it to improve yourself?

- YES

- NO

YES!!! I love you “unique skill: adaptation”, thanks to you I got more experience and now I can get the capacity to speak… the answer is yes and I wish to speak.

.

- The user has chosen “slight modification in shape”.

- Adaptation activated, “slight modification in shape” will now modify the user.

- User chosen modification is to “… get the capacity to speak...”. for this modification, “Adaptation” will generate an artificial voice system.

- This modification requires the use of a monster core to create an artificial voice system.

- Once the gems are used these will disappear forever.

- Do you want to turn the monster cores into an artificial voice system and modify your shape?

- YES

- NO

Again, yes, I wish to…

Warning.

- “Monster Core: Slime” is not suited for this kind of modification.

- If this modification continues then the “capacity to speak” of the user will be limited and will require the use of more cores to improve the “capacity to speak”.

Uh!!? BLOODY HELL!!! what is the problem this time? Not suited for this modification? What does that even mean…

.

has concluded that “Monster Core: Slime” is not suited for the kind of modification that the user desires.

- Identification of “Monster Core: Slime” gave the result that the slime defeated was a “gray slime” which is highly resistant to physical attacks in comparison to other slimes, opposite to other slimes, this possesses a high attack and speed as well.

- Recommendations of uses for the cores:

1) Acquire minor level skill “minor defense level 1”.

2) Increase the statistic +8 in speed, attack, defense or vitality.

3) Gain 150 extra points of experience.

4) Enchant the current body to strengthen defense and vitality.

5) “slight modification in shape” recommended by is to turn the “Monster Core: Slime” in either “resistant softer body” or “body’s storage space”. Both possible changes are available thanks to the properties and features of the gray slime.

- Do you want to turn the monster core into one of these options?

- YES

- NO

… WHAT!!? “Adaptation” can give recommendations of use? Hey, that’s very good news, it’s great actually, but… it seems like I can’t use this core to speak which mean that I'll have to look for another core, that’s no good, well, I was supposed to level up anyway and is not like I'm in a hurry to speak, after all, I don’t have anyone to talk to… fuuu… okay, what should I choose then? let’s see...
