The view of the beach was relaxing. Bunnies hopped playfully around as the group found a palm tree to rest under.

"Did you know that this hat has undergone many generations of wear and tear in my family and I was the only one who managed to sew it back up again?" asked James.

"Well I wonder who created the object in the first place and don't expect me to buy anything from you," groaned Metro.

"Don't worry," grinned James as he flipped his hat onto his head, "I can always give you some advice on that dungeon."

Metro shuddered at the thought of coming back to the damned dungeon.

"But at some point you will have to," sighed James, "Mainly to upgrade your weapons, but there is a faint memory I have kept just for anyone who might have the power to get into it. A while ago, I remember tying up a woman who tried to enter the dungeon without defeating my curse. I threw her into the dungeon against my will. I think that was the mechanic NPC."

"So that's what happened to her," repulsed Frank as he overheard the conversation, "I thought she moved out of town."

"I doubt she'd end up like all the other skeletons trapped in there," winced James, "I might have put her near the dungeon kitchen."

"Well that something good to say, considering this world is fairly brutal," muttered Metro as he thought of the poor woman who was isolated and trapped in a kitchen full of skull-shaped tiles.

"Hey," shouted Andrew as he straightened up, "Where's Blob?"

"Oh no!" gasped Metro as he noticed that the adorable green slime was nowhere to be seen, "God dammit! I only had him for a day."

"Hello!" squeaked a voice from underneath a palm tree, "Look! Me find blue candle!"

Blob's voice was muffled behind his dummy but there was no mistake. Beside Blob was a white candle with a silver handle. It's flame glowed sky blue.

"Aww," cooed Andrew, "He can talk... WAIT GET RID OF THAT CANDLE NOW!"

"Andrew!" demanded Metro as he drew his spear to Andrew's neck, "How dare you talk to my pet like that!"

"Metro!" warned Andrew, "As much as Blob is adorable, that candle this is really, really bad!"

"Is that a blue candle?!" gasped James, "Metro, dispose of it now!"

"What is all the commotion about a stupid blue candle!?" screamed Metro.

"I think you may find out if you look at the ocean," peeped Frank as he poked Metro's shoulder.

Metro thrust his head behind him and prepared to spit an insult at Frank but something else caught his eye.

A golden crown broke the surface of the ocean. The air started to fill with constant squishing sounds. A light blue mass rose out of the water. Metro could see a black figure in the blue mass. It seemed suspended in mid-jump.

"Goddammit!" hissed Andrew as he prepared an arrow towards the incoming thing, "That, my incompetent friend, is King Slime."

"Wait!" spluttered Metro as he pointed at King Slime, "Is that another boss?"

Metro already had that answer due to King Slime knocking him out of his royal path. Metro's health was depleted by half of his HP.

"Yep," coughed Metro as he drank some healing potion, "Definitely a boss."

"I shall besiege your HP until I destroy every one of you peasants," proclaimed King Slime with his kingly voice.

"Yeah right you fat snob!" scoffed Andrew as he shot an arrow at King Slime.

The mass roared as blue liquid pooled around him.

"I command my army to rise and destroy these peasants," shouted King Slime.

The left over goo bubbled and more blue slimes rose out of the liquid. They willingly charged at the NPCs and shouted cringy battle cries.

"Let's cut this short. Shortly!" shouted Metro as he brandished his spear and positioned for the barrage.

James pulled out a book from his hat and read an incantation. A white skull soared out of the pages and smashed through the slimes.

After a while, King Slime's has nearly exhausted all of his goo. Now only being twice as high as Metro, King Slime was now using his brute strength against his enemies. He threw Andrew into a palm tree.

"Argh!" yelled King Slime as Metro stuck his spear into him. Andrew woke up dazed and found that he was sitting on a little boy snoozing under the palm tree.

"Oi!" groaned the boy as he sat upright, "Can't you see I'm sleeping?"

He had a weathered grey hat and wore a faded blue shirt and pants along with a camouflage life jacket.

His brown puppy dog eyes widened as he saw King Slime squelching his way towards the NPCs.

"Kid," warned Andrew as he stood up, "This may be a very good opportunity to be heroic but..."

"Shut up, Bossy Boots!" giggled the boy, "I'm going in!"

He took out a blue knife shape like a fish (Don't ask me why he was allowed to use knives at a young age) and threw it at the slime. It fortunately knocked off King Slime's crown so it definitely got distracted.

"You little Sh*t!" bellowed King Slime, I'll have you quartered for this!"

King Slime squelched his way towards the boy as he continued to throw more blue knives at the him. This continued for a few more minutes until King Slime was the size of Metro's shoe.

"I'll behead you!" squeaked the slime.

"Yeah right," scoffed Metro as he stomped on the slime, ending its miserable life.

A saddle, a grey metallic sphere with tubes poking out and a blue gun popped out of nowhere and landed next to Metro with a thud.

"Well," muttered James as he began to spin his hat, "I think we better get back to your house, wherever it is."

"Aww," complained the boy, "I like beat up monster and annoying them."

"Wait are you Timmy?" gasped Frank, "The little brat who broke my window 5 years ago!"

"Um..."

"Come back you bastard!" roared Frank as he chased the boy around a tree, "I spent a lot on that beautiful window!"

"That's Timmy," muttered Andrew as he began to walk away, "He's the Angler, come to him if you want something to do."
