'The hell am I supposed to do with this? I don't suppose you have a suggestion Mother?'

'........'

Since I've gotten my hands on this Mana Core I tried to find a way to use it. I tried smashing it against a rock and all that did was break the rock. I tried hitting it with a sword or chipping away at it with a dagger, now I have both a broken dagger and a sword. I even tried eating it and all that got me was a few chipped teeth.

'Is this thing indestructible or something?'

By the way, I kept following the slime around as it seemed to not be hostile to me and also seemed to be the strongest thing on this floor. I've seen it kill giant bears, giant birds, and even giant giants. I tried waving one of the giant giants to see if it could communicate but it just tried to step on me and I ran back to the slime which then killed and ate him. Also it seems that every thing here drops one of those mana cores when they die and I have yet to find one smaller than massive size. I made a small sleigh out of some dead tree branches I found lying around and I'm dragging around ten of the things right now.

'Hmmm, I wonder if the slime knows what to do with these things.'

I tried to communicate with it but it's a little hard when you can't talk and don't know any languages to write. Just pointing at the giant orb didn't seem to get the point across either. I honestly had no idea what to do, I was stuck in a high level floor with monsters that I could never fight no matter how hard I tried and I had ten massive mana cores that I didn't know what to do with, then I remembered something Mother did for me once.

'Ah! Wait a minute, what if I- Could that work?! It's not a sword or armor but maybe. Mother, please equip this Mana Core!'

'........'

'Great, that was my last-'

Error, unable to equip Item: Mana Core (Massive)Would you like to Absorb the Item instead?

'Ah! Mother! You're a genius! YES!'

Detected multiples of the Item: Mana Core (Massive)Would you like to absorb them all?

Note: Absorbing multiples at once will take much longer

'Yes! Absorb them all!'

Suddenly a bright light surrounded me and all of the cores I was carrying around disappeared.Absorption startedEstimated time until completion: 302Y, 4M, 12DNote: Increasing level will also decrease absorption time[/table]

'Ah, looks like it's going to take some time for me to absorb them, good thing I have eternity.'

I noticed that my slime friend stopped moving and was just sitting there, I think it was wondering why a bright light just appeared next to it. What I didn't noticed was the large amount of monsters the light gathered. It was like a giant beacon to all the monsters in the area, and I didn't notice it until one already hit me and sent me flying, forcing me to activate Second Wind.

'What was that!?'

Getting up I shouted in my mind at whatever just hit me. Then I saw my friend getting surrounded by a handful of giant monsters.

'No! That bright light must've attracted them to us!'

I got up and started running over while trying to think of a way to help my slime friend. As I got closer I realized that it didn't need any help at all. I watched as it split up into many parts and burrowed its way into each monster attacking it, it was really something to see. All the monsters that gathered around just started attacking each other and the slime just burrowed into some of them and waited until most of them were dead. When there were only a few left my friend made its move and finished them off one at a time.

'Wow, its a lot stronger than I thought.'

I just stood there amazed at how easily it handled them all. While I was watching my friend gather up the remains of the monsters it killed, I saw another giant bear approach. I figured the slime would notice but I guess it was too busy dragging all the bodies together.

'Ah, he doesn't notice, now's my chance!'

I took out my sword and cast Frost Blade on it.

'It's not that far of a shot right? I even have the skill for this.'

The bear was closing in and getting ready to attack, only now did my friend notice it, but it didn't have enough time to react. I was about one or two hundred feet away and to be honest I didn't even think I could throw the sword that far, but I had to try.

'Ok, please hit!'

I threw my sword just as the bear leapt at my friend. I tried aiming at where the bear was going to land but I still didn't think it would work, and it didn't. My sword only flew about half way before it hit a rock and bounced off, flying through the air.

'Damn! I knew it wouldn't work, I should've gotten closer.'

I took out another one of my swords and started running at the bear.

'I don't care even if you are a giant, I'll defend my friend!'

The bear landed next to my friend and swung at him with one of its huge clawed paws. My friend dodged and started to retreat in my direction while the bear perused it. I was nearly there when the bear was suddenly hit in the eye by a sword that fell out of the sky, it was then that I heard Mother's voice.

'What, you're kidding me.'

Surprised that it was suddenly stabbed in the eye, the bear started flailing around and my friend took the opportunity to kill it.

Congratulations

'I got experience even though I didn't kill it myself?'

I was just as surprised as the bear that my sword actually hit it. My slime friend came over to me and dropped my sword at my feet.

'Oh, thank you for giving it back to me and not just eating it.'

I picked up my sword and put it back in its sheath. I noticed my slime friend still sitting there, I could swear if it had eyes it'd be staring at me right now. I didn't really know what it wanted so I reached my hand out and patted it. My hand sent small ripples through its body and it jiggled. A large tentacle sprouted out of it and patted me in the chest, knocking me over.

Companion Gained:Green Slime (Massive)[tr]Congratulations

'Ah, even Mother thinks you're my friend!'

I jumped up and hugged my friend, slowing sinking into its green, jelly-like body.
