"Huh…"

Judging from its name, this is going to be a long and hard fight...Why can't it be 'Frail: The one shotted weakling'

"Morpher? Changes into something maybe, like kirby?"

Standing behind the entrance to the room while thinking what this black humanoid creature can do. I observe, as it doesn’t attack me yet, but once I entered it began to move. It wasn’t fast like the zombies were, like a child that’s just started to learn how to walk. I ready my knife and when she (yes, I’m calling it a she now) got close enough to me, I circle towards her back, activating Butchers Instinct. However, no red lines appear on its body.

"Well, I'll just do it the old fashioned way and just swing everywhere!"

Turning Butchers Instinct off, I then used Julienne twice, slashing at her nape. It tore through the black slimy flesh that she had, scattering a few chunks on the floor.

'Hmm?' as I was about to deliver another slash, she spun her head 180 degrees to look at me with her yellow creepy eyes

"Woah, shit! Creepy!" startled, I retreat for a few meters, watching as the black slimy flesh that’s been scattered on the floor move towards her and mend itself together

“What the fuck! That’s cheating on so many levels!” I complained

She then started to look at her fingers and tore them off, throwing them at the ground.

"Oh? It's making my job easier?"

The thrown fingers then started to wiggle and jerk, steadily getting bigger and bigger until it became into one of those black slimes that I fought before.

"Of course not"

I charge at the newly formed slimes, aiming at their cores. I stop in my tracks, as I see something strange happening to Mutatio’s legs.

"What now..." looking at her

Both of her legs start wriggling, getting longer and more slender.

"What the hell!?"

With a speed that outmatches the zombies from earlier. She arrives in front of me and uses her arms to grab my neck, sending a burning sensation through my body unlike before.

“ARGGHHH!” I shriek while struggling, trying to free myself

I used Julienne to slash at both her arms, freeing me. Panting, I retreat from her as she stares at me again with her yellow eyes. The black slimes then move towards my direction, jiggling as they wiggle their way slowly towards me.

I intercept them and used Julienne on one of the slimes that was closer. Hitting its core and exploding, sending black slime flying in all directions, while I cover my face trying not to get any slime on it.

"Arghh...shit"

However, some parts of my body got covered in it, mainly both my arms, chest and my right leg.

Not managing the intense pain that was spreading, I went on my knees while breathing hard. Gritting my teeth, I use my hands to remove as much of the black slime as possible from my body. Using Poison Treatment to alleviate some of the pain.

Four of the surviving slimes move towards me, while the scattered slime along the floor wiggles it way back to Mutatio. I get up after removing most of the slimes on me, deciding it would be a wise decision not to kill any of the slimes anymore and just evading them in the meantime,

I turn my attention towards Mutatio

"Another?"

She was wriggling her arm without the fingers and it starts to alter its shape, elongating and making the tip of it sharp.

"Lord, have mercy!"

She charges at me after it was completely formed, jumping at the air when we were a few meters apart and thrusting it down. I rolled to the right as she brandishes her new arm at me, while I try to evade as much of her strikes as possible.

After I evaded her fourth strike, she then stops and looks at her other arm. Finding a chance to get some distance, I move away from her and the slimes. Looking back, now she was wriggling her other arm, forming another elongated weapon.

“Fuck, this ain’t looking really good for me.” sweat drips down on the floor from my face.

I ready my knife while making as close to a defensive posture of what an amateur can make. She charges with her remarkable speed and appears at my side, she thrusts her right arm at me while I was trying not to get skewered.

"Waa!"

I dodge the first arm by a hair, but she immediately follows up with her other weaponized limb piercing me right in the stomach, sending a burning sensation through me again. I coughed blood on the floor as she lifts me up and throws me to the side. I couldn’t move my body any longer, so I just moved my head to turn it towards her direction.

"Un...fair..."

I see her changing her arms again. This time she was morphing it into sickles, while walking with a slow gait to my unmoving body. She stops a few inches from me.

"Too...late to...be...friends?" asking her slowly

Looking down, she began swinging her two sickle hands, digging into my flesh.

"Arghh!"

Making pained groans as she teared my flesh a part.

‘Being in pain seems to be one of my routines from now on’ I thought, as I continued moaning and vomiting blood. Half a minute later, I died and was sent back to the entrance of the chamber with the door wide open.

I stare at her unmoving body in the center that went back to its normal form as I sharpen my knife again.

“Just you wait damned bitch. You’ll get what’s coming to you soon” I throw curses at her while sharpening my knife further

Checking the bars on my upper left, I see that I only have a total of one minute and fifty seconds left before my stamina bar depletes due to hunger.

Not wasting any time, I rush towards it. Using Julienne as many times as possible with my current MP. Slashing at her torso with Julienne six times. Thirty quick slashes made contact with her body, scattering a huge amount of slime everywhere with some of it sticking to me.

"Tsk, that's so annoying" clicking my tongue, as I use Poison Treatment to get rid of the burning sensation

The scattered flesh then begins to wriggle, move, and form into black blobs of slimes. The ones sticking to my body form too, as they get bigger and bigger.

I slash at the core of the ones on my body before they could get big enough.

“HAH! So, all I need to do is kill these small fuckers first before they form”

Noticing that they don’t explode if I kill them before they could form completely. I slash more as I see them falling into the ground, their bright yellow cores turning gray as the slime covering it falls off. The scattered slimes not returning to Mutatio.

"Mama slime is next~" I smile, looking at her provocatively

I tried to kill the other black slimes, but Mutatio just wouldn’t let up with her attacks. It was just too quick and my knife can only block one of her arms.

"I guess not" staring at the monster, as she impales me with her weaponized limb

I died this time again, no surprise right?

With my newfound knowledge, I go in for round three. But when I was about to enter, I received a message from Karen, saying that the admins haven’t replied yet and telling me to just sit still and wait. Replying with ‘Ok’ I then move back inside the chamber.

I used the same tactic of moving behind her, slashing as much slime off as possible and killing them before they can fully form. This time I succeeded in killing them all, leaving Mutatio wobbling as she tries to stand straight.

I close the distance between us to slash more of the slime off, but her body trembles as she stares at the ceiling. I could see a mouth forming on her face, letting out a piercing roar as her body began to gain mass and morph once again. Its arms getting longer, forming into ten feet long, three feet wide tentacles, black spikes were protruding from her back, her legs getting longer and forming into what looks like the legs of a grass hopper, and a large vertical mouth with sharp black teeth on its belly that’s releasing black ooze.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” as I rush towards it

She jumps seven feet backwards and sends both of her tentacles towards me.

"Tsk!"

I evaded them both, but black spikes jutted out of them, pointing to whichever direction and piercing me five times.

“This…is…just…unfair…” while coughing out blood

I lost consciousness and died a few seconds after.

I made my way back to the entrance of the chamber. Looking at Mutatio who had changed her form, staring at the ceiling in the center of the room again. Its tentacles swinging left and right with the mouth on its belly opening and closing every few seconds. I use my Butchers Instinct to see if there were any red lines or weaknesses that I could focus on when It transformed. A small red circle appears on the mouth at its belly, an indication that it may have a core now.

“Ughh…why can’t it be at the head or any part that's easy to get to. Why does it have to be where big black sharp teeth are?” I grumble as I sharpen my knife

Thinking that maybe a class that can wield a spear or something that can attack from a distance would’ve been better than a knife wielding one that cooks food.

I go in and try to fight this thing once more.

The next thirty rounds was of me, dying, trying to get close enough to its belly-mouth. On one of those rounds I got close enough, though… I was wrapped around her tentacle and dragged to her mouth only to get chomped to death by her. Still, It didn’t hurt that bad now, it felt like a few giant needles where being stabbed into you instead of razor sharp knives entering your skin.

"Almost there" I heaved a sigh, as I go in again

forty-two more rounds later, the pain felt amusing now. It didn’t hurt, but I felt like its tickling me, making me laugh hard with my body squirming. It was kinda addicting to some extent, I just might get hooked on it.

‘Am I awakening to the ‘M’ side? Does enjoying getting your arm torn off from your body or giggling when your chest gets pierced by countless spikes still considered to be an M?’ shrugging

‘Who cares, I’ll just do what I feel like I want to do’ I thought, as my leg gets chewed on by Mutatio

With the chance in front of me, I use my knife when its mouth opens to chew and use Julienne at the yellow core.

It roars and uses its tentacles, slamming it into me.

With a new tactic that seems effective, I wait for the rounds where it grabs me and pulls me into its mouth. I then activated Butchers Instinct and unleashed a flurry of Juliennes.

"How many times do I have to do this?" losing track of the number of times I was killed

After the one hundred sixty or so round, Mutatio then began trembling again.

“Heh, you about to transform again?” I said while I laugh inside its belly-mouth

I then heard a noise coming from behind and looked towards it.

'The door's closing…a sign that it 's almost dead?'

It then went inside the coffin, roaring and wriggling with me inside its mouth.

"Woman, calm the fuck down!"

It trembled more, this time the chamber was also shaking. I prepared myself, not knowing what’s to come.

Then I see Mutatio getting bigger and bigger, almost like an over inflated balloon that’s about to pop.

"Just die in peace already!"

Before it gets big enough, I slash at its core one more time.

"Dead?"

The roars of Mutatio stopped, but she kept getting bigger. A few seconds later, she exploded sending black slime everywhere, filling the room like a bathtub.

“ARGHHH! IT FUCKING HURTSSS!” as slime gets into my eyes and enters into my mouth, ears and nostrils.

My head and body felt like I’m being cooked inside, as I continue to scream and flap around the slime-filled room.

After thirty minutes of hell, the slimes disappeared, with a single body of a boy laying inside a coffin. Sleeping soundly, as if he was having a blissful dream.

While the boy was still sleeping. Outside the dungeon, every player of ‘Beginning’ received mutiple messages from the Artificial Intelligence that’s running and maintaining the game. Its creators called it ‘Dotir’.
