11 Chapter 10: Get Stronger

View of a huge Slime monster with metal plated body.

Two figures could be seen facing the Slime Master head on, it looked pretty easy for these two .

"Hey! You okay over there?" Momo asked looking back at me.

As soon as I entered the boss room I was attacked by the boss and went flying into the wall hitting my head against the stone.

I was now seeing black dots and tried my best not to fall asleep from the impact.

I squinted at the floating level above the boss's head.

|Rank (E) Slime Master|

Even though I've been doing so well. But seems like I struggled with level's 3 slimes on up. Even this boss slime was way out of my league.

Damn.

Can I really get stronger?

I watched helplessly as The Slime is defeated by the other two in a matter of minutes.

Text Box: Slime Master Defeated!

Text Box: Dungeon Cleared!

|Leveled Up|

|Received 30 Stat points|

I see, I level up just because I'm here. And not only that I also get the stat points even though I was useless.

Momo helps me up and turned to her brother, "can you carry her?" She asked him.

Without being able to refuse he was already lifting me and throwing me over his shoulder like I was some kind of ragdoll.

"Goodness Diaki, if you carry her like that she's sure to pass out." Momo says.

Of course he ignored her and as she had said everything went black after that.

When I woke up again I was in a hospital bed and alone.

A nurse walked in carrying a tray with a pouch of clear liquid, "looks like you're awake." The nurse says as she enters the room.

"I managed to heal your wounds using my healing abilities, so everything should be fine. You're friends are out in the waiting room." She says after handing the pouch over.

"Drink this, it'll restore your stats since I don't have that ability." She says.

I sucked out all that was in the pouch and as she said all my stats were restored.

"But what do you mean by my friends are waiting for me?" I asked.

"Oh there was this really pretty red head and super good-looking man that brought you here." She explained.

"Ah, we're not friends." I tell her as I stood and made my way out the room.

Well even so, I do owe them. I know when to be grateful.

I stepped out into the waiting room which didn't really have too many patients.

Those two were easy to spot since they stand out and draw attention thanks to their good looks.

Momo instantly spots me and rushes over to hug me she was immediately stopped by the brother, "stop that." He says.

Momo pouts, "Meanie." she says.

"Are you alright now?" He asked me.

It was actually t he first time he spoke to me directly.

"Yes, thanks to you guys." I mutter.

"Good, this is where we will part then." He says.

"Diaki!" Momo says with clenched fist and an angry expression.

I held up my hands in defense, "no, he's right. Besides I should thank you guys for everything." I tell them.

I wasn't ready to make friends, is this because I was used to being alone?

"Ugh, but..." Momo looked as though she would cry.

"That's enough, Momoka! We can't bring her with us. Besides with her current level she'll only get in our way!" He snapped angrily.

He was right though. With the way I am now I won't live long.

I must get stronger, and I must do it alone.

Momoka glares at her brother but she stopped arguing with him after that.

She looks over at me with a sad expression, or was that pity?

I don't know, but I feel that if I was different we would have been great friends.

"This isn't the end." she says to me her expression filled with determination.

I looked at her in shock, I wonder what she meant by that?

She and Diaki turned and left me standing there.

This was the right choice, If I want to be apart of a party I have to gain skills and become someone others can rely on.

I won't be satisfied as a minion, I want to be the boss. A goal like this is something far out of reach right now.

So for now, I shall become strong enough to create my own team.

I walked out the hospital and made my way back to the Dungeon Guild.

For that I should find another Slime Dungeon to level up more.

I need to perfect my only skill, Swordsmanship, to at least a level 10 for now.

A month later

The world has slowly been changing and modern technology started using magic. Even the environment started looking even more fantasy like.

Of course not everything has changed. It's only been a month and I was still at a low level. Though I have reached level 4 in just a month and my swordsmanship has gotten to level 3. I was still lacking other skills.

Well, at least I finally cleared that Slime Dungeon and received more stat points.

"Check Status."

I got better though, I'm still lacking in many ways.

My best bet is to start raiding Rank (E+) dungeons.

Not only will I get better gems, I might be able to get a skill or item.

My body is starting to feel the effects of leveling up as well, I have gained some weight and my sunken cheeks were fuller.

I feel much lighter on my feet than before and slightly stronger.

Even so, I must get even more stronger.
