2 days later…
Finally, some slimes.
Time to hunt.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
I've killed 2,000 slimes in the last week and leveled up to level 40.
I'm only 10 levels away from being able to obtain abilities more efficiently… although I don't know how.
Also, it feels like it's taking longer and longer to level up. Maybe I've reached the max amount of levels I can gain just by beating slimes.
I need to find another monster.
2 weeks later…
Finally, a different kind of monster.
Huh, this looks like a goblin… but bigger.
As far as I remember, these are called hobgoblins—or at least, that's what they were called in comics back in my old world.
Time to beat them.
There are about five of them.
This might be difficult.
Swoop!
Huh, my wind blades cut off one of their arms, but it regenerated.
How am I going to kill it?
Oh… maybe if I cauterize the arm after I cut it off, I can stop them from regenerating.
But my fire breath is limited to 30 seconds and has low damage.
Maybe the system has a solution.
Hey system, is there any way I could level up my fire breath?
[System Notification: Yes, but it would require points you previously obtained by killing other monsters.]
Well, I'd like to. How many points do I have?
[You have 1,000 points. Would you like to put those points into damage, or split them between damage and duration?]
Both. 50/50.
[System Notification: Upgrade successful. Duration increased to 12 hours. Damage data—unknown.]
Huh? Damage unknown?
Well, whatever.
Time to kill these hobgoblins.
Swipe! Fwoooosh!
Swipe! Fwoooosh!
Swipe! Fwoooosh!
All their limbs are gone. Now… time to eat their heads.
Chomp!
[System Notification: The host has gained a new ability — Dragon's Renewal. This allows the host to regenerate limbs and wings.]
That sounds cool.
[System Notification: Host is now at Level 50. Host can now access the system's store.]
Well, I'll check that out in the morning. For now, it's time to head back to that mountain and rest.
