Chapter 15 Second Day: My Ferret Was A Fox All Along!?
Chapter 15 Second Day: My Ferret Was A Fox All Along!?
Sat within the dark Silverpine forest, a man was slumbering. His chest moving slowly with each breath. On his lap was a sleeping golden fox. Her fur was silky and glimmering in the sun. Thanks to her domain, the pair could sleep for several hours without needing to worry about being attacked.
Lucian was the first to wake. The morning sun illuminating his beautiful platinum blonde hair. Now grew to his shoulders. His face had become even more graceful. "Hmmm, nothing seems to have changed. I just feel a little pain."
[Good morning Lucian]
"Ah, morning Siesta. Did I spend the entire evening in this forest?"
[Correct]
The little golden fox crawled, yawned lightly. She felt a dull pain after losing her second core. She would remain weak for a day. Her golden eyes peered at Lucian before she climbed up his body, wrapping herself along the back of his neck.
"Morning Miumiu, did you sleep well?"
"Wuu! wuuuuu" (This Queen is tired, pet me! pamper me!)
"Oooh?"
Lucian was excited. This was the first time he heard the fox's graceful voice. He thought it was a really pretty voice. He wondered why things had changed so much after just hearing her voice. His hand began petting the fox's tail. He yanked on it several times, causing her little to make joyful squeaks.
[What is your plan from now, Lucian?]
"Since when did the system become so kind sounding?" He thought to himself.
He rose to his feet and paced towards the third layer. Lucian had already spent the night, so a few more hours wouldn't change anything. His need for power had done nothing but grow into a thirst, a desire that filled his every thought subtly.
"Wait!? Didn't I lose my arm?"
His eyes peered down towards his left arm. It was healed completely. The only difference was a strange red slime like substance that formed a strange type of bracelet within his hand. When he imagined the image of him using that large red lance, the little red slime transformed into a lance affixed to his wrist. He could feel a connection with this little red guy.
****
"From now on you'll be named Suusuu!"
The red jelly seemed to ripple with joy as it crawled up my arm with excitement. Its little body made a strange sucking sensation on my skin, which was very comfortable. I wanted to see what exactly it was and used the system to analyse it.
[Suusuu] [Female Blood Slime] [Affection: Max] [Can morph into any form its master desires.]
I poked the smudgy little guy. "Do slimes have gender? I would have thought it would be male as it came from my blood, strange…"
I could hear Miumiu growl at the little slime. Why is she always so angry and insisting on calling people commoners or plebeians? Such a silly little girl. I swiftly smacked her butt. She stopped snarling at my cute slime and began furiously bitting at my hands and neck.
"Wuuu!" (Smack this queen's ass! I will punish you when I finish evolving, stupid man. Hmph! Treat your future bride better!)
The slime was now sitting on top of my head, forming a cute crimson crown. I thought it would make my hair sticky and a mess, but thankfully her body isn't wet or sticky, it's just silky smooth. Her tendrils would sometimes stretch out and massage my scalp. It felt like heaven.
[Several heat sources detected 700 metres away.]
[Rock Boar - Level 9] x 6
Honestly, why did these dirty pigs have to ruin my relaxed morning walk? The extremely talented Suusuu transformed into a dark red longsword roughly 140cm long inside my left hand. She even seemed to know I preferred to use the left rather than my right. "Puru!"
The moment after her noise. She split into a wide short sword, which seemed more for defending that fit snugly in my right hand. "Good Job Suusuu! You're exceptional"
I could feel my body had changed significantly since the weird transformation. My muscles and mana travelled along my body easily and far more powerful than before. Flames emitted from my body as I started sprinting towards the boars. Vampiric stamina really helps in getting from one place to another!
My body lunged forward toward a black boar around three metres long and two metres high. The sharp red sword cutting through the air's pressure like butter. Its speed caused a deep whistling noise that attracted the other boar's attention. I increased the power in my left arm, striking the boar's flank, the red blade ripping its armoured meat apart.
Red blood shot out from the wound as the other boars charged. I felt a little pressured to dodge. Miumiu opened her mouth with a yawn, spraying a dark black flame covering the path the group of boars wanted to take. Most of them stopped for a moment, scared and confused. However, one charged through as the flame eroded its fat and muscle. It looked horrific before falling onto its side, having its guts pouring out.
My knee slammed into the boar's body. I could hear a loud cracking sound and then felt its body crumbling within. It dropped dead within moments. The red sword in my hand devoured its entire corpse, leaving behind a small, black, round ball. This must have been its monster core that only formed rarely before reaching level 5.
Miumiu leapt off my shoulder and grew into an enormous ferret? It really seemed more like a golden fox, though. She was now over two metres long, thick fluffy tails swaying with anger. Her golden eyes narrowed as she jumped into the group of boars. Her claws tearing their flesh, her teeth ripping and swallowing their meat. It was like she was ravenous for food. Her flames enshrouded the entire area, as all I could hear was the desperate squealing of pigs and her loud barking of excitement.
"I guess I'm not even needed here anymore?"
"Puru!"
The slime Suusuu rubbed against my cheek, trying to cheer me up. I honestly smelled bad and needed a shower. So after Miumiu has finished eating those pigs, we'll probably head home. I bet the girls are being really noisy about me leaving for an entire day.
It took Miumiu around 30 minutes to decimate those boars. Honestly, it was amazing how strong she was. They covered her fur in thick boar blood, with bits of their meat still stuck between her teeth. I noticed that a third tail had grown from her rear. My mind now coming to terms with the fact my pet wasn't a ferret after all.
She swaggered over, looking proud, swaying her tails in my face. It was very cute to watch. I couldn't help but grab the new tail and yank it like the others. I once remember reading that performing the same action and expecting different results was the definition of madness. Thus, the moment she felt me yank her tail. A massive 2 metre long fox was pressing my head onto the dirt with a victorious look instantly covered me. Her teeth marks covering my entire body.
"WUUUUUUUUU!" (Finally, this queen grew her third tail! No more enjoy... No more painful torture from this bastard! Hmph, sit under my paw smelly husband)
And so…
Like this, I spent my second day in this world being assaulted by a fluffy giant fox. A red slime made from my blood rubbing against my body and a system that was clearly ignoring my plight! I just hope the girl's back home are behaving.
Meanwhile, a maid was hanging from the roof by her silken threads, washing the mansion's windows awaiting her master's return. She felt a jolt in her mind. "Master is thinking about me!" Marina, feeling joyful, continued to wash the second-floor windows using her webs to scale the mansion's walls like a ninja.
