Foreword: My dear readers, if you are reading my novel for the first time you can skip the auxiliary chapters as they only served as notes for fantasy world-building. Just imagine these auxiliary chapters as a scrapbook of both published and unpublished works for "Training as a Slime". But if you are interested to know more about the setting and tiny details, it will all be in here.
I hope you will enjoy my novel and do leave a review or comment to let me know what you like about it. I will also be happy to explore new ideas to make the novel a better read.
Settings
The monster training school is located at the west edge of the Wind Forest.
The Wind Forest do not have autumn or winter. It is an evergreen forest, there are not a lot of flowers but if you look hard enough there are some. In the Wind Forest, there are no villages or villagers. It is a place where children are abandoned and left to fend for themselves. Sadly, most of them passed away due to malnourishment.
Despite its peaceful name, it can be quite creepy and lonely at night. There are rumours of a vicious beast with blood-red glowing eyes roaming the forest at night.
The world is made up of monsters that can evolve. There are also plants, florals, crystals, minerals, magic stones, livestock, and animals. Eating any monster is considered cannibalism and forbidden. However, there are circumstances which allow that (for example if a monster is turned into an animal, monsters are allowed to eat the animal).
Skills can be obtained through blessings, skill books, monster evolution, job evolution and also through hard work.
The deity of the world set up a system for monsters to monitor their own progress. Once they managed to advance to the final level, they can upgrade their rank beyond UR - ultra rare. There is also a star ranking system based on how rare their job is.
Oh, and there is a small wooden cabin in the Wind Forest. It could be a church for the deity, a respite for the visitors. There is a small wooden idol of the deity in the cabin to which isekai heros usually pray to receive divinations (basically a fancy way of calling).
System settings- in the system setting screen, one can adjust location of the pop ups, adjust eye sight brightness, image sharpness, colour saturation, surround sound - bass and treble (although it is usually already optimised), notification types.

Cori Byten's family backstory- Cori's parents passed away when he was a baby. He and his twin brother and sister were with his grandma while his parents met with a tragic accident. Cori is one of the triplets. His family travelled extensively around the world, only for them to settle down in the same country as his dad's company headquartered in Southeast Asia. After the tragic accident, the company faced hostile takeover from the competitor, leaving little inheritance to the children as most of the assets were sold off to settle the debts and loans. The only consolation was their mortgage was fully paid off, educational fees fully accounted for and they have a roof over their head. Their grandma managed to use her savings to raise them until the age of 10, however, that fully depleted her bank account except for the fixed deposits she left for the 3 of them in case she passes away.

I was dreaming like every normal human beings and woke up with this dream pregnant in my head. Now I am pushing it out of my cranial with no mid-wife within the best of my abilities. I hope everyone will enjoy this fever imagination of daily slice of isekai life. I don't think there will be anything hentai, or much of a harem (at least not how I remembered it). Anyway, if anyone knows of any good story plot tracking or mapping apps please drop a comment. I have several stories to complete and not lost track of the plots.
