DWDSS CH 003 Leveling Up and New Functions
Reino hunted every day, raising his level slowly. And as Ren's level rose, Ren's transformations and skills grew more and more. Eight months passed, a young man barely in his teens was standing in the middle of the lake. He stood on the water like water was a plain sheet of paper. The young man is Reino.

Hmm, haha, I can walk on water, thanks to the skills I bought at the Shop. And as my level increases, the status becomes more varied.
"Oh yes, Tico, by the way, today there was a new menu in System, Demon Fusion?"
[Yes Master, the System was upgraded because Master is getting stronger, in the Demon Fusion Master can buy various kind of Transformation needed and combine them with existing Transformations to unlock rare beings and same can be done with Skills, Magic and Resistances using Synthesis Sub-menu of Demon Fusion and it works just like Transformations Shop and Skills Shop.]
Hmm, after I reached level 20 a few months ago, the System did the Shop's simplification, splitting the Shop into a Transformations Shop and Skills Shop. And now comes the Demon Fusion at level 30. Is this a Department Store that has everything ?!
"So the stronger I am the better the system would be?"
[Yes that's it Master. More precisely, the higher Master's level the better the System, because the System has become part of Master himself, practically System is a unique skill that is owned only by Master.]
In the Demon Fusion there was available a wide variety of skills and transformation combination options, but most of them were not unlocked because the transformations that could be combined into higher level had not yet been bought by Reino. There were two to three options unlocked at present so Reino decided to view it later.
"Tico, how far is the nearest City of Human from here?"
[The closest Human City from here is the Border City in the east, about 50 km away from here. However there is also a goblin settlement a few kilometers to the Northwest towards the Mountain of The Dragon. ]
As Tico talked about the goblin settlement, Reino got a sudden flash of images inside his head. A Slime talking to a Dragon, The Dragon going inside the Slime, The Slime coming out of the mountain.
Hmm, I do know the map of the world and have a Auto-Map skill, but because the distance of Auto-Map is limited, so I have to ask Tico.
"I may be going to the place where the Dragon Mountain is , I have got a few premonition which the goddess warned me about. Apparently it shows important scenes and characters related to my fate randomly at times, It activated for the first time now and showed me a Dragon and A Slime, are they really connected to me?"
[It may be, but the only Dragon around these parts would be the Sealed Storm Dragon , Veldora.]
"Oh , for the first time a named monster. Extremely powerful I assume?"
[Not just powerful. Its the Storm King Veldora , one of the Four Principal Dragons of this World. Each Dragon holds an element they dominate and are essentially immortal. Even if you kill them, unless you completely shatter their soul it won't be possible to destroy them. They will reincarnate into the world with their complete power after period of time has passed. They are what is known as 'Perfect Existence', Almost Eternal and Unchanging, true to their desires.]
"So what's my goal?"
[Do not ask me. As the goddess said, Master can live freely according to Master's free will.]
"In this world, an Adventurer Guild exists, there must be a lot of information, I have to go there first."
[Master…]
"What's up Tico?"
[It looks like you're going to get kicked out right away if you went to Humans' place (city) with how you look.]
Hearing Tico's explanation, Reino realizes that all this time he was naked.
"Ehhh? I forgot, I never used to wear clothes because nobody reminded me and because how I often transform made me unconscious of it!"
[It is recommended for Master to buy clothes from the Item shop service I am willing to provide once you reach level 40.]
"Yes yes… Why do I feel like you are using a disapproving tone Tico-san?"

After killing a few dozen more monsters, Reino finally leveled up to 40 and unlocked Item Shop from System. Under Tico's recommendation he chose a few clothes. Reino chose Black Hoodie Jacket, Black Jeans, and Dark Greyish inner shirt. Not to forget the shoes, he bought the Sturdy Sneakers comfortable interior padding and small spikes in the base.
Black Hoodie Jacket: 2000SP
Black Jeans: 1000SP
Dark Greyish Inner Shirt: 1000SP
Sturdy Sneakers: 1000SP
Point: 14950
Normal clothes cost an average of 1000 SP, while Black Hoodie Jacket which is a combat clothes with auto repair function and element resistance function is worth 2000 SP. After buying those things, Reino uses them. Seen a handsome man in the forest, Reino looked very handsome. After I climbed to level 40, he found it very difficult to raise higher levels, as Regular animals and even small monsters died in one hit of his, not giving him enough challenge and hence minimal experience.
"Tico, are the adventurers having trouble raising levels when they are over 30?"
[Of course, they find it difficult because they rarely find enemies that can make them level up, because of the average monster level factor that lives around Humans. Usually, adventurers who step on level 40 go to the dungeons to look for powerful monsters, and some go to the Demon Lord's territory to hunt Demi-Humans and monsters and then sell them as slaves to seek wealth, they consider themselves to be strong. However even for monsters, they higher they grow, the tougher it is to grow further. However Monsters have an unfair advantage of quick evolutionary path as their strength can escalate while staying in the same level when they evolve to higher species. For example a level 20 Ogre might be equivalent to level 50 goblin approximately.]
"Does slavery really exist in this world?"
[Yes, but Human slavery is forbidden. Only permissible Demi-Human and Monster slavery in the various Empires, even many local governments support slavery. But the various so called Demon Lords of this world usually don't pay attention to it. They are all only interested in their own indulgences.]
"Well, I do not hate slavery, but I somehow think it is a pity though, sigh.., everyone has a way of life. By the way I need a new transformation with status boosting abilities. I have all kinds of summons that provide magical, physical and scouting abilities. Just need a enhancement provider type now."
[I recommend Carbuncle for that]
Carbuncle Transformation : - 4500 SP

After finishing the preparation , Reino walked towards the Goblin settlement . In the middle of the forest, Reino walked through the path that leads to the city. Traumatized by his previous death, Reino does not want to rush again. When it was almost up the path, suddenly he was attacked from behind…
"Will I…die again?!"
