Evolution of Slime to Peak

"How may I help you, sir?"

A soft voice rang in Roel's ear. A young girl with blue hair and black eyes looked at him waiting for an answer. She wore a white shirt and a tight skirt. She was beautiful as what you expect from a receptionist, her twinkling eyes staring at Roel waiting for a reply.

"I-I want to... register for a hunter license..."

His voice shook.

It has been many years since I last to a young girl...

He thought inside his heart. Well, he took a deep breath and calmed himself.

"Ok, sir. May I know your name, address, skill, and possibly bank account."

"Umm..." Roel was embarrassed. He hesitated to answer but threw his shame away. He opened his mouth and spoke in a low voice.

"I don't have a bank account..."

Hearing the answer, the receptionist didn't waver. She didn't sigh nor was irritated. She just nodded. "Ok, sir. The hunter association will provide you with an in-card bank facility."

"Oh, thanks." Roel scratched his head.

After a bit of a moment, a special card built from special metal was taken out by the receptionist girl. The paper she wrote the basic information about Roel was wrapped on the card.

The card glowed and the paper disappeared. Many words were carved inside the card and made role amazed. But he maintained his calmness.

"Please put a drop of blood on it." She said it politely.

"Ok."

Roel cut his hand with the dagger he had in his inventory. Of course, he put his hand inside his pocket, or it would have been awkward taking dragger out of thin air.

It doesn't mean that no space magic exists, it is just that these magic are special. So, he won't want to reveal it.

After cutting his thumb finger, a droplet of blood dripped and landed on the card. As the blood touched it, it disappeared inside the card.

Eye blinding light emitted from the card, and Roel felt something connected with his heart.

"This is a special function of the card. If you died inside the dungeon, the card will mark you dead and we will know it. So, no manpower has to be used to find you." The receptionist said as she saw the surprised expression on Roel.

"Uh-huh." He nodded.

After the card stopped glowing, the receptionist looked at the card.

"Rank E. It is a good rank to start." She said with a beautiful smile on her face. The dimple that formed on her cheeks as she smiled made her more beautiful.

Roel shook his head as some weird thought came to his mind.

"You can enter rank E and F dungeon. You can also enter Rank D, but you have to proceed at your own risk. Any question, sir?"

She asked after explaining a bit.

"Can I enter the dungeon anytime?"

"Yes... May I remind you, there is a party function on the card. You can form a party and enter the dungeon together. I recommend you to use this function..."

"Oh, thanks." Roel expressed his gratitude and left the desk.

Exiting the building, he looked at the card.

[Hunter Card]

[Name: Roel]

[Age: 22]

[Money: 0$]

[Rank: E (Total Collection of Stats and Skills)]

[Skills: (Dash -E), (Slash -E), (Rush -F). (Fireball -F], (Mana Restore -E)]

The card was simple, unlike the system interface. He left the area, and board the bus. He didn't have anything, nor home or things he owns.

The clothing he owns is bought by him. The old clothes are stacked in the sleeping place, but many homeless people borrow them.

He also borrows their clothes when needed.

Despite the place he lives being a slump-like area, the people there are very kind. They helped each other despite being poor and having no place to go.

"Anyway, I should go to the dungeon..."

He has only beat a dungeon, and on top of that, it was the slime dungeon. The monsters there weren't that strong, so he was nervous.

Not that scared since he has already faced many life and death moment, and don't want to face them again. So, going inside a dungeon didn't take the courage to go to the trap dungeon.

He would wish to fall in the rank E dungeon except for the trap dungeon despite it not having any monsters.

After riding the bus for some hours, he arrived at a gate.

He also turned back and looked at the bus and bowed slightly. While he may not be a Japanese who bows to show respect, he bowed to be thankful for the bus that doesn't require any money to ride.

People could ride it free, and Roel was the gladdest for this. Being poor isn't easy, one needs to know everything from sales to free things. Had to do a job that requires physical strength and had to endure the pain.

Roel was tired of the life he had. Fortunately, he got the system now.

He is thankful to the system for giving him an opportunity to change his destiny.

As he walked toward the gate that wasn't that different from the gate that could be found anywhere.

Two securities guard blocked him from entering. Only after he showed his id, did they let him walk inside but they stare at him with suspicious gazes.

Roel ignoring them walked inside and was amazed by the scenery he found.

Hunters in advanced suits walking here and there. Many stalls of potions, equipment, and skill were side by side, with hunters going in and out simultaneously.

In the center, a huge stone gate stood mightily emitting an aura that made Roel shiver. At the entrance of this gate, a blue light covered it.

Once a hunter went inside, he disappeared.

Seeing that made Roel excited, the teleport function of the system wasn't that cool.

He queued in a line and waited for his turn. After some minutes, his turn came.

With determined eyes, he stepped inside the gate.

As Roel stepped onto the gate, his vision blurred. The surroundings rotated like a whirlpool appeared in the space.

A surge of pain appeared on his head and he felt nauseous. He pressed his hand on the wall and breath raggedly.

"Ha! Ha! Hah!"

After a while, everything returned back to normal. After breathing a sigh of relief, he scanned the environment.

A cavern with stone erecting down from the ceiling. The dungeon was completely different from the dungeon he was in.

He walked ahead and encountered three wolves roaming that area.

"Grr!'

As the wolves saw Roel, they leaked saliva. Gritting their teeth, they didn't wait a second before charging at Roel.

Roel took out his dagger instantly. "Slice" Using a slice, he cut down the one wolf that jumped on him. With just a touch of the dagger, it pierced through the skin of the wolf easily.

It felt like cutting butter, smooth.

The wolf who jumped with determination to eat Roel landed on the ground bleeding from its stomach. It whimpered and died.

The two other wolves backed down and walked around Roel circling him. Roel gripping his dagger hard rushed at one wolf.

The wolf jumped back and dodged his attack. Another wolf took this opportunity to attack him, but Roel rolled avoiding it.

He stood immediately and attacked the wolf that attacked him. The wolf also raised his paws and blocked the dagger attack with its sharp nails.

But, the nails were also weak to the dagger as it broke down. The wolf's eyes widen and tried to jump. But it failed as Roel grabbed its neck and cut its throat.

Only one wolf was left. Figuring that it couldn't win, the wolf tried to run. But Roel chased the wolf. Fortunately, the wolf couldn't escape that far and hit the wall while running rashly.

Roel caught to it and jumped at the wolf.

Pss!

His dagger stabbed its back. The wolf howled softly and died.

Roel dragged the dead wolf to the other two dead wolves.

After stacking them together, the wolf's body glowed.

Like drops that dropped after killing the enemy in RPGs game, the wolf's body disappeared and only its core was dropped.

While he was picking up the core, a notification flashed on his face.

[Ding!]

[Obtained 100 experiences from killing Lupus]

[Ding!]

[Obtained 100 experiences from killing Lupus]

[Ding!]

[Obtained 100 experiences from killing Lupus]

Three consecutive messages flashed. Roel looked at it with wide eyes wondering. "Why didn't it show to me while I was fighting?"

Roel's question was answered by a mechanical voice.

[Don't show it while fighting, so the player won't be disturbed and get killed due to a system mistake.]

"Damn, it is a good function."

Roel showed a thumbs up to the screen and walked ahead.

Not long after, he was met with a pack of wolves.

Five wolves ran at him and surrounded him.

"Shit!"

Roel cursed.

Two wolves came at him jumping. Roel ducked down, and two wolves fell to the land hitting the ground.

But, he wasn't relieved as three wolves were next to attack him.

He fend off one wolf but got scratched by another wolf.

"Arrg!"

He shrilled.

Gritting his teeth, Roel threw his dagger at the wolf that came at him. The dagger hit the wolf's eye killing it instantly.

He was left with a bare hand, and another wolf swung its nail at him. Roel slipped back, and barely avoided it. He caught the wolf's hand and hit its head so hard.

The wolf's teeth were broken by Roel's fist and were pushed back.

Another two wolves charged at him simultaneously, but Roel dodged them easily. But, he was hit by the third wolf.

Roel screamed again and grabbed the wolf's head. He strangled its neck. He put so much force on his grip that broke the wolf's bone.

The wolf squirmed on the ground and died.

Only three wolves were left,. But Roel didn't get any chance to rest, as the wolf attacked Roel swinging its nails.

The sharp nail sliced the air. Roel dodged it by a hair breadth. But, he grabbed the wolf's paws and forcefully raised it, only to slam it on the ground so hard.

The wolf let out a painful howl, as its paws were broken. But before it could scream any longer, Roel broke its neck.

Two wolves didn't dare to attack Roel rashly.

Roel ran at one wolf, the wolf raised its body and tried to attack him. But Roel slid under its legs and was stuck. Since the wolf's legs weren't that far, the space wasn't that wide.

Only Roel's legs reached a little further than its leg, but Roel's whole body was stuck. The wolf was surprised.

"Damn!"

Roel's eyes faced the wolf's stomach. He punched its stomach, but due to being trapped, he couldn't exert much force.

The wolf also couldn't attack Roel and jump from him.

Roel didn't waste his breath getting up and picking up his dagger. He took out the dagger from the wolf's eye.

The three wolves' bodies glowed and disappeared.

Roel faced another wolf. The wolf stepped back, with terror on its eyes.

But, Roel didn't care and ran at the wolf. The wolf tried to block the incoming attack but was tricked by Roel.

Roel didn't attack head-on but jumped. His legs landed on the wolf's back and lost his balance. But he somehow landed on his legs and stabbed the dumbfounded wolf.

Only one wolf was left, but Roel couldn't find it.

The wolf ran as fast as possible without looking back. Roel could only sigh and collect his share. He also obtained 400 exp.

[Level: 2950/5000]

Seeing the exp he gained, Roel sighed. While it was little, he could only grind these. Only facing five wolves injured him, and due to being inexperienced in a real battle, he couldn't face all five of them without getting injured.

Roel decided to rest. His back ached as it was scratched by the wolf.

His chest was also scratched, but thankfully, they weren't that serious.

He sat on a rock and rested.
