Evolution of Slime to Peak

Chapter 8 Meeting A Group Of Bandits

A slime whose height is 2 feet looked a little shorter than the girl who is 2.5 feet tall. She had a dry smile on her face.

While talking to her, Ren found many things about the world. The most important is the level and skill thing.

Any human can level up by killing monsters, and that sounds like a game mechanism. The next thing is a skill, after every 10 levels, one could gain skill slots.

One person has 2 skill slots at the beginning, and after 10 levels up, they can another one.

Skills and Levels are the statuses of nobility. Many poor people are of low levels and have no skills while the king is the highest level person in a country and holds the strongest skills in the kingdom.

These are common sense.

Her town is called 'Town of Butterflies'. The people there live in harmony. A farmer grows crops and most of them have farming-related skills. Some blacksmiths, alchemists, etc could be found, but they are rare.

There is also one important thing, Class.

After a person reaches 20 levels, they are blessed with class. This class shows them their future. If you get fighter class, you will fight through your whole life, maybe not, but this class shows him the future fighting.

Likewise, mages are blessed with mana, the purest energy in this world. They can use these energies to cast magic that many people wish for. Be it fireball, or water ball. Want to call rain or just made the rain disappear, mage are the ones you should visit for these phenomena.

Likewise, this world has many mysteries. Dungeon, Ruins, Tombs, Rifts, etc. Many things are here that this little girl only has heard a little.

So, he would need to investigate later about these things.

But from this information, he could guess, that he has an unlimited skill slot? Or could monsters doesn't have skill slots, they could learn skills without this?

He didn't understand the logic, but he could guess, that his condition is rare. The final thing that made him interested in the demon lord.

"As the demon lord wreak havoc many years ago, the humanity barely survived. I heard, the kingdom summoned heroes to deal with it. And this year, I don't know when, but the heroes may be summoned from another world to deal with the demon lord and bring peace."

"Heroes?!"

As he heard that, his eyes gleam. That's what the flash was, that must be the summoning circle, and maybe an accident happened and he woke as a slime.

"Whoa! Why are you so excited to hear about heroes? If they see you, they will kill you without any warning."

The little girl said.

"..."

"Anyway, when will we reach your town?"

Ren said as he couldn't see any source of life in this quiet forest. "And, is this forest always so empty? I mean, lifeless."

"Hmm, we may reach the town in some minutes. And, I don't know much about forests. I come one or two times a year to harvest medical plants. I never encountered monsters, so I don't know." Lina shrugged her shoulder and said cheerfully.

"Oh."

Tak! Tak! Tak!

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps reverberated. Ren raised his guard and stopped. Lina also halted her movement after seeing Ren.

"What happened?"

"I heard some footsteps."

"Footsteps?" Lina tilted her head and tried to hear the footsteps. She did hear it but it was a faint sound.

Ren being a slime, even the slightest vibration on the ground, he could feel it. His whole body is quite sensitive, and his body locomotes any sound transmitted from the ground to his brain.

Three men shirtless and only wearing brown trouser-looking clothes walked. Their eyes widen when they saw Ren and Lina.

"Oh, oh. What have we here? A monster and a human." The bandit smiled, and his eyes fell on the bag in Lina's hands.

Seeing the bag full of medicinal herbs, his smile grew.

"Why don't we help you take you home safely. You can't depend on your monster."

The bandit said with a hoarse voice.

Lina took a step back and hid behind Ren. Ren was confused, the bandit wasn't that surprised seeing the monster and human together.

So, taming monsters must be some kind of profession or may be available in this world. Shaking his head, Ren focused on the bandits.

'Medical herbs must fetch quite a price. I think...' Ren thought.

"No! These are for my father. I won't hand over this!" She yelled at the bandits. She must have understood their intention.

"Oho. Then, we must raise our hands. Don't worry, kid. We won't hurt you. Your body is still useful to us. Hehehe"

The bandit smiled creepily and licked his lips. He took out his sword and stepped forward. The two bandits stayed behind laughing.

"Boss, get them."

"Get them" They cheered him and watched the action.

Ren frowned and glared at the bandit.

The fight starts now!

Round 1 - Fight!
