2 Bob <C2>
"God, It's so boring here."
It had been a month since he reincarnated as a slime, it was supposed to be all about adventure but instead of that, he was still eating in order not to die.
His food is Mana stones on the ground. Mana Stone is different from Magic Core.
Of course, he had checked the Mana Stone using his inspection
~~~~~~~~
Item: Mana Stone.
Value: Low Grade.
Age: 136 years old.
Description: Bathing under dense magic for years, the normal stone eventually became Mana Stone.
~~~~~~~~
As for the Magic Core or his so-called low-grade core, he still could not found a single one to check but he knew it is different because of their names.
And all he did in one month was eating the Mana Stones but that wasn't his fault, it was his damn vision. His vision only increased to 1,4 meters which wasn't much different from a month ago.
By eating Mana Stone, his Mana increased without leveling up. Like what the Angel said, some items could boost his stat and Mana Stone was the item.
His mana increased to 14, but that was one month of hard work and it was only about eating.
He had thought about suicide by starving himself to death to end his boredom but it would be an insult to his pride and many people from Earth who didn't have the chance like him.
"Well, at least I still have you, Bob." He talked to a slime next to him.
Not too long after he opened his system, he found that he wasn't the only slime and there were many around. Bob was the first slime he found.
He also used his inspection on them but all of them had the same status as him except for INT and the Goddess bless skill.
"Hey, Bob. Wait for me." Seeing that Bob the slime moved away, he followed.
As big bro (He appointed himself), he must protect Bob from danger. Also, Bob always found a lot of food so he followed him everywhere.
Despite there were many slimes around, he still could identify Bob because he named the slime himself and used his inspection to tell the difference between slimes.
Food and companion weren't the only things he needed, there was also for safety reasons. If there was a slime then there must be other fantasy creatures around.
He wasn't stupid enough to explore around with his less-than 2 meters vision, and he was sure that not all creatures were friendly like in the novel. So that why he followed Bob around to make sure that he was still in the slime zone and not in a dragon lair where he would be killed without a doubt.
"Hah, another day of eating and do nothing." He sighed as Bob just found a stack of food.
After a few minutes of eating, he was full but he wasn't happy at all. If went on like this for another month, starving himself to death may not be a such bad idea after all.
"Man, I am so full but my mana bar doesn't increase one bit. How many more should I eat to get my Mana to 15. If eating is the only safe way then I wish I can...Eat more?!" An idea appeared in his mind.
He immediately went for some Stone on the ground and absorb them into his body. The reason why he knew he was full was that his Mana Bar was at full capacity and his "mind" also told him that.
But what if he ignored all of them and just ate, it wouldn't hurt to try.
"It's actually working." He exclaimed as he saw his Mana Bar increased from 14 to 15 while he felt extremely full.
With this new discovery, he devoured what was left on the ground and left nothing behind for poor Bob. All that food was enough for at least 3 days for two of them but was all finished 1 hour by himself.
But wasn't a waste at all, his mana increase again, and this time by 2 which meant that his vision increased to 1,7 meters (17 Mana).
His mind was still telling him that he was full again but he ignored it as the benefit beat the mind.
Seeing there wasn't any food left and still hungry, Bob started moving which he followed but he was happy this time.
*4 days later*
"Haha, finally. I have ascended." He laughed with a hint of craziness.
He had achieved his goal in 4 days. With dedication and hard work, his vision had reached 5 meters range which also increased his survival chance.
His new and improved range helped him a lot. He could now see where he was born and lived until now.
It was a huge cave, about 15 meters wide, and a small waterfall which also where the slimes and food came from.
Each day, a lot of Mana Stone fell from the waterfall and about 2 to 3 Magic Core came out which created slimes. The leftover water dripped into small holes around which prevented the cave from being filled with water.
He also used the inspection on Magic Core to understand it more.
~~~~~~~~
Item: Magic Core.
Value: Low Grade.
Age: 127 years old.
Description: Mutated from a normal Mana Stone. It has the same characteristic as Mana Stone but different in an aspect. While both of them have mana, but only Magic Core can absorb more from every source available when it out of mana. Mana Stone will become a normal stone after it exhausts all Mana.
~~~~~~~~
After he read the info from the Magic Core, the system gave him a note that his description is updated.
~~~~~~~~
Name: Jun.
Race: Slime.
Age: One month and 4 days.
Level: 1.
Description: ... + To become a slime, Magic Core has to divert its attention to maintain the slime which sacrificed the absorb mana function and gave the slime permission to find mana then transfer it to the core.
Mana | 50 |
~~~~~~~~
Well, that wasn't the only new thing that happened around here as he unintentionally became a mass killer.
Because of his eating and stealing food, a lot of slimes didn't found enough food in time and died, leaving their lifeless cores around.
The population of 60 slimes (he counted) was reduced to 22 because of him. At least Bob was spared and seemed to be fine.
"Sorry, my brothers and sisters. It's survival of the fittest, blame yourself if you guys aren't as smart as me. But don't worry, I will revive you guys later." He really didn't care about this very much as Magic Core would gather enough mana and revived back the slimes.
He also tried to eat Magic Core but decided to stop because he felt gross and disgusted, maybe eating them meant eating your own kind.
The last thing he found was an exit, he really wanted to go out and see more but ventured into the unknown wasn't a good idea for a smart and weak slime like him.
But that didn't mean he gave up, he had an idea that would make people questioned his morals but there wasn't anyone here smart enough to tell him that.
"Hehe, let begin operation Adventure of Bob#2."
This operation was about a slime named Bob#2, the slime was on verge of dying because of hunger so it had to venture to the unknown to find food.
Bob#2 was the slime he "trained". By isolate it and had no contact with food for a long time, Bob#2 would madly rush for food when a Mana Stone appeared in front of it.
He planned to test the dangers with Bob#2 and he had prepared a lot of stones for it.
The stones were stored inside him and he just needed to spit the stones out to lure Bob#2. Apparently, he could store the stones without absorbing them because his mind and his body agreed to stop eating.
To make it simple. While he wanted to eat more and his mind told him he was full, the food still could be digested but if both he and the mind agreed to stop then the food would just stay inside his body.
"Now go Bob#2, I believe in you." He spat out the stones and they ventured out of their safe haven.
