Slime Massacre Begins!

After a relaxing morning of spending my hard-earned money, I finally returned home, placed my shopping bags down, and stretched.

Time to get back into the game.

I sat down in my new ergonomic gaming chair, adjusted my headset, and launched Beta Version TWO.

> [Logging in…]

[Welcome back, Player.]

The familiar world materialized, and I found myself standing in my rented room at the inn.

My tiny companion was already waiting for me, bouncing happily on the bed.

> Creature: (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

I chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, we're back. Let's check my status first."

I stared at my Elderwood Bow in admiration. Eve really gave me a monster of a weapon.

It was legendary-tier, and I hadn't even used its full power yet.

"Alright," I muttered. "Time to grind for real."

---

Slime Hunting: The Ultimate Test

I made my way toward the Greenwood Fields, the perfect hunting spot for beginner monsters.

As expected, the area was filled with slimes.

> [Wild Slime – Lv. 3]

[Wild Slime – Lv. 4]

They were bouncing around happily, completely unaware that I was about to commit a massacre.

I grabbed my Elderwood Bow, pulled back the string, and let loose.

> Twang!

The arrow whistled through the air like a bullet—

> CRITICAL HIT!

[You have defeated Wild Slime – 50 EXP gained!]

—And one-shot the slime.

I blinked.

"...Holy crap, this bow is broken."

---

Farming Mode: Activated

I went all in.

With Precision Shots, I sniped slimes before they even saw me.

With Volley Attack, I rained arrows down, wiping out multiple slimes at once.

Slime 1: Headshot. Instant kill.

Slime 2: Exploded into goo.

Slime 3: Died mid-air before it could jump.

Slime 4-6: Destroyed in a single volley.

I kept going, determined to level up before leaving the Starter Village.

Even my little companion was joining the fight.

> Creature: (ง •̀ω•́)ง

"Alright, let's keep this up!"

Mini-Boss Encounter: Slime King

After an hour of non-stop grinding, something changed.

A deep rumbling echoed across the field.

A massive shadow loomed over the slimes.

Then, I saw it.

> [Slime King – Lv. 10]

[HP: 5000/5000]

A giant golden slime descended from a nearby hill, surrounded by smaller slimes like a royal escort.

I tightened my grip on my bow.

"This… is gonna be fun."
