A Hollow's Adventure in the Multiverse, a Street Fighter + Dark Souls Crossover fanfic

''I hope that Killing myself won't backfire and send me to Hell. Maybe I'll end up in limbo?''

A young boy says as he stands over the edge of a building. The loud noises of the city surround him, as well as the sounds of frantic banging and police sirens. The cries of ''Don't jump!'' or the weirdly funny ones of ''Do a flip!'' can be heard below.

'Now you people care when you see someone about to jump, don't you? Heh, at least some of them are different from those that want me to do a flip. Should I do a flip?'

The youth shakes his head as he continues to look down below.

'No, that's a bad idea. What if I don't land on my head? I would have to deal with immeasurable pain and then be carried into a hospital, where I would either turn into a paraplegic or be stuck in a bed for the rest of my life. And then have to deal with my family and psychiatrists. Fucking useless psychiatrists. *Sigh* Enough thinking I should jump before they set up a net or trampoline.'

With these thoughts, the youth spreads his arms and walks off the ledge. Screams can be heard as well as people booing because the youth didn't do a flip. But it is meaningless as darkness engulfs the youth as his head crashes into the pavement down below, brain matter, skull fragments, and torn skin fly everywhere at the point of impact coating everything in a layer of gore and blood as his body makes contact.

Start New Game+?

( Yes ) ( No )

'IT FUCKING WORKED! YEEEAAAH! HAHAHAHAHAHA!'

In the void, you can hear a soul screaming and laughing in happiness. The youth that died got exactly what he wanted when he killed himself, what were the chances of that happening?

'YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Start new game+!'

The soul practically screams as he quickly presses the ( YES ) button in giddiness. You can almost see all the happiness his soul is radiating.

[ Starting New Game+... ]

Status: Dead

Name: None

Age: 17

[ Does the User wish to randomize your Race & Starting Tutorial World? ]

'I can be something other than human?! Fuck yes! Randomize! Randomize! Randomize! Randomize!'

The soul screams as he presses the Yes option. Upon pressing it a giant wheel of fortune appears with the label [ Starting Race ] and below on the wheel a multitude of races shows, from common fantasy races like Elf, Orcs, and Dwarfs to various races such as Slimes, Dogs, and Dragons.

As the wheel spins the soul is jumping around in happiness with only a single thought in mind.

'I'm not going to be human anymore! I'm not going to be human anymore! Hiiii! Hahahahah! I won't be human! YES! YES! YES! YES! HAAHA!'

As the wheel spins a multitude of races are shown and passed away. From cosmic dragons, eldritch abominations, elementals, lizards, and simple animals to the most common of beings are shown and passed as the wheel spins. But, it doesn't take long before it stops into one race.

[ Race Choose: Ashen Hollow Undead ( Dark Souls ) ]

Please choose the subrace you would want to be

Human Hollow

Elf Hollow

Orc Hollow

Beastkin Hollow...

...

'Wait what? Dark souls? Uh does that mean I'm immortal? Since I have the Undead Curse? and what is an Ashen Hollow? Wait, does that mean I'm some kind of phoenix hollow since the Ashen One was killed by trying to link the fire? Hmm... Well, it doesn't matter. Let's see here... Human? Bah! As if I would pick such a thing! Maybe I could be a...'

The soul thinks as it takes its time to calmly choose its new race, sometimes going on tangents on the possibility or reason of why it would be a bad choice to be a certain race, but it doesn't take long before it finally arrives in its choice of race.

'Is that a High Elf option I see? Don't mind if I do!'

'Holy shit I am immortal then... Why do I not receive any skills from being an Ashen Hollow Undead? Ugh, that name is too long I'll just use Hollow or Ashen now I think.'

The youth thinks as he finishes analyzing his new skills and traits. And as he finishes analyzing a new Wheel appears titled [ Starting World Selector ] as it starts spinning.

'Oh! I wonder what world I'll end up in... I can see a lot of fictional worlds... MHA, Street Fighter, Terraria, and even Dark Souls... I hope I get an easy world to live in. Would suck to be put into a difficult world.'

The wheel spins as the worlds go spinning, showing death worlds and universes, such as Warhammer 40K to calm and tame universes such as Minecraft and animal crossing. But the wheel can't spin forever, so with a much-anticipated breath, the wheel finally stops and hovers over the chosen Universe.

[ Street Fighter Universe Selected! ]

'Street Fighter?! Shit, I forgot that game existed... It's like Mortal Kombat, right? I shouldn't have any problems in that universe, I'm a hollow and quite literally immortal I doubt I will have that many problems.'

The youth nods its non-existent head before a new window pops up.

[ Before we let you create your character, do you wish to roll for two random Perks? Beware that they may be positive or negative perks! ]

'Perks? Hmm... I mean I could get a good perk, I wonder what types of perks though? Is it like a random boost in strength or something else? Ah, who cares? Let's roll the Perks!'

The soul says as a slot machine appears before him. But instead of three rows, there are only two. The little soul doesn't waste time as it ''wills'' the machine to spin, and as the slots spin you can see a multitude of symbols rolling before stopping.

[ Perk: Vulture Aid Acquired! ]

'I spy with my little eye, Something beginning with V!'

- Vulture Aid Jingle

Vulture Aid provides aid to the player in various ways. But it's up to you to discover what type of Aid.

Guarantees that enemies drop ammo upon death.

[ Perk: Juggernog Acquired! ]

'Sugar Seduction Delight!'

- Juggernog Jingle

Doubles HP gained from healing items and natural regeneration.

'Wait a moment aren't those Perks from COD: Zombies? Haven't heard of Vulture aid. Juggernog? Oh! That's good? I mean it doesn't double my HP but my natural regeneration speed and the amount that healing items heal, so that's... good?'

The soul thinks as it looks over the Perks before moving on.

'So Character Creation now, right? I wonder if I can change my gender... Should I? Maybe later if I get a gender change potion or something like that.'

And so the soul spends its time creating its new character's appearance and choosing a new name.

'And... Done! Look at me! The most handsome high elf in the world! Ha!'

Standing at 5'2 feet tall is a short high elf boy. Short blonde hair and deep blue eyes just like the ocean, broad shoulders, and a swimmer's build make him look thin but not unhealthy, that would be the case if his skin color wasn't so sickly looking. Snow white skin, quite close to a porcelain-like color, as well as that of a dead body skin color it wouldn't take much for you to ask him if he's alright, or if he isn't suffering from blood loss.

'I look so handsome! And kinda dead-looking... But besides that, I'm so beautiful! And I even got to choose how big my dick is! A full 12-inches and thick as a board. Damn, I'm proud of having a bigger dick, not saying that I wasn't proud of having a 7-inches dick before but the bigger the better right?'

The soul thinks in delight while admiring and caressing its new body.

[ Please Choose your New Name now... ]

'Oh! Yeah, uh... What do I name myself...'

The soul ponders for a moment before choosing its new name.

[ Name: Leonidas Vox Vermillion ]

[ Confirm Name selection? ]

'Yup. Always wanted a name that started with an L instead.'

''Urgh… Did I stay awake for more than 24 hours again? Urgh… I feel like shit…''

I say as I groggily wake up. Looking around I notice that first, I'm not in limbo anymore, and second I'm in what I can only tell and describe as the world's dirtiest and shittiest alleyways. If I didn't know I got street fighter, I would think I'm in a Gotham alleyway.

Looking around other than the sound of the city bustle I'm alone in the alleyway. Looking at myself I'm relieved to see that I am at least wearing something, I have no idea what I would do if I was naked and had to get clothes... Wait why is my body so small? I mean I know I changed myself to be 5'2 but even then I don't think I would be this small...

[ Age: 13 ]

'Oh... that explains it I guess... But why did it change my age? I was 17! Oi, system why did you change my age?!'

[ The system changed your age to fit with your mental age. ]

I stare at the screen for a moment, slowly processing what the system just said. My left eye twitches as I ignore the message and turn back to looking at myself. I'm wearing a simple long-sleeved T-shirt, black pants, and boots that reach my shins. Not counting my underwear and socks.

I open my mouth and put a finger inside, feeling my teeth I notice that all of them are straight, and weirdly enough, both my canines are slightly bigger than average giving me small vampire teeth.

'I have really straight teeth and vamp fangs. Cool!'

Touching my ears I realize that they are very sharp as well, but not as long as I thought they would be. Slightly longer than a normal human's ear, but I think in elf terms I would be confused with a normal elf child instead of a High Elf child. I can't tell if that's a bad thing or not...

Refocusing I wonder where I am. Street Fighter was a normal world all things considered, if you didn't think about all the weird things the characters could do, and usually it was normal.

'Shit, what year does street fighter take place? And which of the games am I in? Wait, didn't the system say Street Fighter Universe? Hmm, I'll assume I am in a smish, smash, of all the games combined... wasn't their movies as well now that I'm thinking about it?'

I continue to ponder for a few minutes before a system window pops up.

[ Please select one of the available classes ]

[ Fighter ] [ Ranger ] [ Mage ] [ Support ] [ Rogue ]

I can pick a class? Hmm... I'm in street fighter a world pretty much equal to earth in terms of technology, I think, and the only people that are a threat to me are close-ranged fighters and probably guns, so fighter, rogue, and possibly support are out.

Rangers are cool but no way I'm becoming one, that's stereotypical. So mage it is.

[ Select a Specialization ]

[ Elementalist ] [ Illusionist ] [ Druid ] [ Necromancer ] [ Summoner ] [ Enchanter ] [ Healer ]

'Shit, the necromancer is an option!? Oh, I so much want to choose it! But I can't, as much as I fantasied about having legions of undead I don't have to bother with gravedigging... Maybe in a different universe that wasn't modern, I would pick Necromancer.'

Illusionist is out as well Druid, Elementalist is boring if I'm restricted to the four main elements, and Enchanter would be after I unlock a second class, assuming that I can. Healer seems interesting... maybe for second class. So summoner it is!

[ Choose Summoning Focus ]

[ Humanoids ] [ Animals ] [ Incorporeal ] [ Monsters ]

'Why do I have to choose a focus? Hmm... I am tempted with taking Uncorporeal but I'm sticking with something I have at least an idea of what to expect... Am I limited to only one focus System?'

[ You can pick a new Focus at Lvl. 15 ]

'Well, that seals the deal! Wait for me Incorporeal and other summons!'

I think as I choose the Humanoids focus.

[ Class Gained: Summoner ] - Lvl. 1

Current Focus: Humanoids

[ Skills Gained ]

Skill: Summon: Servant ( lvl. 1/100 )

Summons humanoid servants that act as simple workers.

Able to summon +1 per Summoner Class level.

Skill: Summon: Fairy ( Lvl. 1/100

Summons a tiny humanoid Fairy to act as spies, warning you of danger and allowing you to see through their eyes. They can turn invisible.

Able to summon +5 per Summoner Class level.

Skill: Summon Communication ( Lvl. MAX )

Allows you to easily communicate between your summons and relay your orders to them. Can communicate up to 5km away from the summoner.

Skill: Ritual Circle Drawing ( Lvl. 1/100 )

Allows you to draw ritual circles that allow you to summon beings from other Focuses. 3x Mana cost to summon non-focus beings. The summoned being will always be Lvl. 1 and suffer from the status effect weakened until it levels up to Lvl. 5.

'Wait, I can summon Fairies? Do I being a fey-being has anything to do with it?'

I think before I extend my arm and open my hands, in a stop motion. A small pale light green circle appears on my hands, a slight feeling of something being drained comes from me, and as the circle finishes rotating in a fast motion, a small white elf lays in my hands, probably no bigger than 5 inches, with small butterfly-like wings on its back wearing a leaf-like tank top and shorts.

''So that's what fairies look like. Alright, Lil fella mind turning invisible for a sec? I want to test to see if I can still see through your eyes while you are invisible.''

I say as the little fairy does a little hand salute as, apparently, she, barks out in a squeaky voice.

''Sir! Yes, Sir!''

And in seconds I see her slowly turning invisible, and I doubt that without my superior sensing capabilities I would even think she isn't in the same spot anymore.

Closing my eyes, I open them again, and instead of seeing myself stare at my palm, I am instead staring at two points of view, the one from my body and the one from the fairy.

Suffice to say it takes me a moment to accustom myself to having a new pair of eyes, and surprisingly I can see through her eyes while she's invisible.

Satisfied with my test, I stop looking through her eyes, and with a mental command, she sits on my shoulders as I walk outside the alleyway.

Walking around the place I notice that it pretty much looks like earth but with a... more attraction towards martial arts? The signs and people are speaking English, American English. So I'm definitely in the USA, but here comes the question of where and when am I.

I walked around and asked for directions to a public library, I am somewhat certain that I know what city I'm currently in if the tropical trees that I see everywhere are any indication alongside the abysmally hot weather.

I finally arrive at the location of the public library that an elderly lady gave me. Walking inside and looking around for a PC to use I quickly found that the library is pretty much empty, except for the librarian so I don't have to wait or look for an empty computer to use.

It doesn't take long for me to google simple things like:

'What country am I currently in?'

The United States of America was the answer.

'What State & City am I currently in?'

California, Los Angeles.

'What year is it?'

2020

And on a positive side note, there is no covid on this earth! On another note, I found information about a martial arts tournament taking place in the city. Nothing major or anything that attracted attention from world fighters, but there was a name that caught my attention, a certain pink-colored-haired women's name that is. Poison, or Hugo, as apparently he is the one that is going to fight, as Poison seems to be his... I think the term is handler? Is the one participating in this Tournament, which has a fat cash prize of 250 thousand dollars in cash.

It is going to take place in a few days in the city. The ticket to the place is, well, I have no experience in these types of events, but I think 500 bucks for one person is too expensive either way. But on the bright side, I get the chance to meet her and possibly break a deal with her so she takes me with her around as a helper or something of the kind, as to be frank, I have no idea on how to survive on my own in society. And maybe she brings me to one of the street fighter tournaments that I vaguely remember existing, I think there was one tournament that she eventually left to go find... new fighters, I think? It was called S.I.N if I remember correctly... But for regards to surviving...

In a forest? Sure I can probably survive. But getting a job and interacting with people? That's way too complicated, not even counting the fact I'm 13 years old! How the hell would I get a job that isn't shady as fuck and probably is just a kidnapping attempt? I am lucky that my ''ethereal'' beauty hasn't attracted too much attention and that my short hair thankfully hides my ears, as no one has noticed them yet.

But I will not try to test my luck in trying to get a job, on the off chance I'm getting into a child slavery/organ harvester's workshop. Don't ask how I would end up in either place, but considering I am quite literally an elf, a race that gets oftenly enslaved for their beauty, I'm not taking chances in having me turned into a slave or getting my organs harvested. So until I met Poison I'll have to figure out a way to make some cash, I doubt I need to eat as an Ashen Hollow, since, y'know, undead curse and all but besides that, I need to get stronger than I am currently.

And for that, I have a very simple plan on how to get strong! First, max out my summoner class, get another specialization so I can cast magic spells, and get a cleric class that increases my... Actually, I don't think I have seen my stats?

'Oi, system why didn't you show me my stats during character creation or status overview?'

[ Your Stats can't be determined in a non-corporeal form, requiring you to have a body. You can check your stats now if you wish to do so. ]

'Huh, well you could have told me about that at least. And what stats do my summoner class increase?'

[ Your Summoner Class increases your INT and WIS score just as many Mage-type classes do. ]

'Oh, okay? Wait does that mean all Mage-type classes increase only my INT and WIS?'

[ Majority of Mage-type classes do. But different types of mages, for example, Druids and Warlocks, have both their INT, and WIS stats increased, as well as END for Druids and CHA for Warlocks. Of course, other Mage-type classes increase different stats, but almost all of them increase your INT and WIS stats. There are exceptions. ]

'Hmm... That's good to know, y'know, before I choose my class! *Sigh*, whatever, can you show my stats for me, please?'

'Uh, are those my previous life stats, or were they randomized for my current body? Because no way in hell I have high INT nor WIS... I repeated 5th grade twice for the god's sake! True it was more of a case of, go fuck yourself I don't want to go to school leave me alone, more than I was too fucking stupid to understand. I mean I always struggled with math and science, and I never understood why the fuck we had to learn geography, like why the hell do I need to know how are hills made when half my class couldn't point out 1 tenth of the countries in Europe? Or get china and Russia confused? Like seriously I think I was the only child that had an interest in learning about countries and maps more than the fucking formation of hills that the teacher thought so more important than, Oh I don't know fucking know, knowing the location of major fucking countries on a map!'

[ Your stats have been randomized and automatically put into your preferred stats based on your class selection and tendencies. ]

'is that so? I mean I guess I can see if I rolled these stats and I was going with a mage build I would focus on my INT and WIS... If this was DND I would allocate the stats differently but otherwise, it's... perfect for now. My luck stat is... weirdly high considering I never thought of myself lucky.' I snort before shaking my head 'Maybe this life I'll have the trait of being lucky and having a short fuse...'

I think as I take a deep breath before refocusing on my objective...

Right, so Max out summoner, get Elementalist so I can cast lightning or maybe another element, get it to a high level I feel comfortable with, and then get a healer class, probably cleric which should give me some stats for my STR and VIT stats... I hope I don't have to pray to one of the gods if I pick a cleric class, I just want to praise the sun for the gods sake!

'System how many stat points do I get every time I level up? For both my summoner class and for leveling up normally?'

[ You gain 15 stat points per level up and a +5 for INT and a +3 for WIS for being a Summoner. And before you ask, or wonder thinking that stats represent how smart you are, they do not affect yourself in the way you think they do. Just because you have a high INT and WIS stats does not make you smart or wise, it instead boosts your brain's capability to process things faster, and makes you more likely to not make stupid decisions for a lack of wisdom. ]

'Oh? Uh... thanks for the info I guess? I think I would have figured that out eventually but thanks anyway, I guess?'

I think as I give a glance over my skills and stats. Surprisingly, ID create and ID exit was granted to me after I got a body, but I didn't get Gamer's Body nor Gamer's Mind. I also got no information about getting these skills, I was just lucky that I also checked my skills after checking my Stats... I don't know if the system didn't warn me or I didn't notice... But either way, I spent enough time in this library.

Getting up from my seat I turn off the PC and walk outside the library and into an alleyway. A quick check shows that there is no one around, no homeless people or people in the alleyway, so with a quick look to make sure no one suddenly showed up I cast ID create.

[ Dungeons Available ]

Slime Dungeon - 1-10 Lvl.

? - 10-20 Lvl.

? - 20-30 Lvl.

? - 40-50 Lvl.

? - 60-70 Lvl.

? - 80-90 Lvl.

? - 90-100 Lvl.

'Oh wow, that is... different? I thought I would unlock random dungeons not be level restricted? And apparently, they aren't randomized... And slimes? That could be bad, terrible, or easy depending on what type of slimes I'm going to be dealing with, but whatever.'

Selecting the Slime Dungeon I feel myself being drained again of energy and in a flash of light, I appear in a small forest clearing. Blinking to get rid of the spots that the flashbang teleportation left I observe my surroundings, both observing normally and with the skill.

Which came up with the usual things of [ Rock ], [ Grass ], [ Tree ], and various other types of things observed that were either given just a single word to describe what they were or in some of the flowers I have seen hinted at being capable of more.

[ Pelider Flower ]

A flower that is associated with Vitality and good Health.

Alchemical Uses:

I pocket some of these Pelider Flowers into my inventory. On a side note, my inventory seems to have infinite space and has no carry weight, which is very good to know. Walking around the forest, and occasionally picking up a few flowers or herbs, I observed to have the Alchemical Uses description I almost forget that I am inside a dungeon, that is until I hear a soft squishy watery sound.

*Bwoomp*

And as the sound gets closer, an amorphous blue colored ball of slime appears. Casting Observe on it I am relatively not that surprised when I read its description.

[ Blue Colored Slime Lvl. 1 ]

[ 25/25 HP ]

A simple slime.

Slimes are famous for being resistant to melee damage, as slashing, bashing, or punching only spreads its slime around.

To kill a slime you need to kill it using magic or separating enough slime to the point it can't reform Itself.

'Huh, didn't think they would be that... well it isn't strong but the fact I have to kill it with magic doesn't help me.'

I look at the blue slime as it jumps a few inches off the ground and moves around. Surprisingly the slime seems to be a neutral type of enemy, one that only attacks when attacked, as it quite literally ignored me when it passed by me, it only seemed to react when it jumped into a slightly sharp stone, which it took offense as I saw a small -1 HP pop up.

The slime seemed to turn... angry? It shook or vibrated itself as it got angry and it slowly, and I do mean slowly, like a whole minute, absorbs the little piece of rock. Apparently, slimes are acidic but only when they deem something a threat/enemy as apparently their... slime gel? I don't know how it works but from observing the little guy it appears that it can decide when to turn acidic, and it seems to feed on plants as it wasted 5 minutes staring at, and then consuming 7 random plants in random order.

Satisfied with my newly acquired Information I decide to finally do what I came into the ID for. Grind for EXP and level up to the high heavens, but now I only have a problem... or maybe not? really depends on one thing.

'Hey, System does time pass outside IDs?'

I direct my question to the system and wait for it to give me a response.

[ Time passes on the outside of IDs, as 1 hour outside equals 24 hours inside. You can spend quite a lot of time in the ID and have only a few hours to have passed on the outside. ]

'Wait... I can literally stay here for an entire week and it would only count as 7 hours outside then? Holy shit I can exploit this! I can freely grind without worrying about the tournament as I literally have an entire day to grind! Hahaha!'

I laugh maniacally as I already envision the slaughter of slimes as I massacre them for exp with the help of my summons.

After laughing for... probably 30 minutes straight I finally get myself calmed down enough for me to try using my other summoning skill, Summon: Servant.

As the feeling of my mana being drained from my body passes, as well as a large magic circle that appeared on the ground It leaves me with a... how do I describe it?

Y'know mannequins? Those plastic ones that look pretty much like humans but have no features on their faces?

I have a human-like female with white skin and a featureless face, wearing a white masquerade mask. No eyes, eyebrows, or even hair. Her entire head is featureless except for her mouth, with supple full lips, which I'm assuming are hiding teeth and a tongue. But her body is what really caught me off guard, she has B-sized breasts with gray areolas and slightly darker gray nipples, her entire figure is curvy, and she does have a pussy, a real human pussy. She also has clothes but they can be turned on and off, which are just a male butler uniform.

I have to fight my instincts to not fuck her right here, right now, as I know that all summons are subservient towards me, and the System guaranteed that they can't fight against me or refuse an order. But pushing my hardening dick and focusing on actually thinking with my head, I push it away as I focus on what I came here for.

'You can fuck your servants later, Leo! We have to grind EXP now! SEX LATER EXP NOW!'

With these thoughts, I prepare both myself and my servant to help me kill and farm slimes. Other than the fact my servant seems to be combat-capable even if the skill doesn't... hint or thinks they should be used for combat, it matters little.

I briefly wonder how I am going to kill the slime if most physical attacks are not that effective before I remember I could probably just magic up a new skill using my mana manipulation and try to cast some fire magic or something. Concentrating on the feeling of my inner mana I bring it and... Well, I imagine a firebolt to form, and surprisingly it does.

[ Skill: Firebolt Lvl. ( 01/100 ) Learned! ]

000/100 EXP for the Next Level Up.

Forms an arrow-shaped firebolt.

Deals 10 Fire Damage.

(Minor Fire Affinity: Increases fire type spells damage by +5 Fire Damage Points. )

'Wait I can deal 15 dmg in a single firebolt? I can two-shot slimes? Either this particular Slime has very low HP or Slimes are generally weak. Actually, why was I surprised that they have low HP pools?'

I shake my head as I prepare and cast a firebolt two times in the blues slimes' direction. Surprisingly both shots hit it in its center body as it, quite literally, explodes throwing slime gel everywhere, including coating me and my clothes with slime gel and giving me a new notification.

[ +5 EXP for killing a Blue Coloured Slime! ]

005/250 EXP is required for the next Level Up. (Summoner)

005/100 EXP for the Next Level Up. (Firebolt)

[ Loot Gained ]

Slime Gel:

Slime Gel has various uses both as an ingredient in cooking for its jelly-like consistency and its alchemical purposes.

Can be eaten.

15 Dollars:

It's money, does it need an explanation?

[ Achievement Unlocked: Why is it so sticky? ]

You have been coated by slime gel!

What will you be covered in next?

'Did, Did it just insunuate that... You know what I'm not going to think about it, especially since I look pretty androgynous that I can pass off as a girl wearing the right clothing...'

I think as I shake my head at the implied cum joke, or at least I think it is a joke as I focus on finding new slimes to kill.

''Beware Slimes! The Slimageddon is Beginning! You shall all cower and fear me! Mwahahaahahaaahaaa!''

I laugh maniacally as I prepare to commit mass slime genocide.

I have made a terrible discovery.

All slimes, no matter the level gives EXP in multiples of five, meaning that a level 1 slime would give me 5 EXP, but a level 2 slime would grant me 10 EXP, and so on, and so forth.

And the forest I thought was the entire dungeon is just one part of the dungeon. There are more areas to explore, and they are quite massive, as I have to walk for quite a while to get anywhere.

It now makes sense that an entire week can pass in here but only a day on the outside. If I have to trek through forests, mountains, swamps, caverns, and all other types of terrain, it makes sense that I would have to have time to explore without worrying about the outside world.

My exp gains have been... pathetic if I am to be honest. I only managed to spot and find 6 slimes, all of the different colors and all, fortunately, or unfortunately being level 1.

Although some different colored slimes had different amounts of HP.

Green Colored Slimes are the lowest in HP terms, being smaller than blue ones and having 15 HP, instead of the 25 HP from the blue ones. I can one-shot them with a firebolt, due to the minor fire affinity.

Red Colored Slimes have 35 HP, slightly bigger than blue ones and they take three hits to kill even if they are level 1.

Yellow Colored Slimes & Orange Colored Slimes have about 50 HP but they seem to be... slothful I would guess? I found the two of them standing still, not moving even after I attacked them. They only reacted when I was close to killing them and they did by fleeing, which I just chased down and killed them.

I then found a small pink slime that had 10,000 HP and promptly nopped out of there.

Was it level 1? Yes, yes it was. Did I run away because it only has a high amount of HP? Fuck yes, no way something with such a high amount of HP isn't something dangerous to deal with, especially if they are level 1! I'll come back later when I have disposable magical summons.

But through all the adventuring and only finding 7 slimes it only gave me 35 EXP! 35! ONLY 35!

They all dropped different colored slime gel, ingredients for both cooking & alchemy, and they dropped 60 bucks making me have a nice 75 bucks that I can now spend on something.

But seriously, I only received 35 EXP... I have to kill 50 Slimes I think? I might have the math wrong, but I think 50 slimes should level up my summoner class.

My Skills seem to get the same amount of EXP at least meaning that 20 slimes should lvl up my firebolt skill. To be honest, I feel like I'm playing at easy difficulty, but with a major EXP gain penalty. It's going to take so long for me to level up both my class and my firebolt skill.

'Oh, wait. Why am I looking for slimes myself when I can summon Fairies to do it for me? Ugh, I'm a moron.'

Drawing upon my mana I summon 10 Fairies, as I had dis-summoned the one I got after testing their invisibility. With a simple order, I order 8 of them to spread out and tell me if they find any slimes, while I keep 2 of them in a circular radius so I don't get sneaked up, which I doubt I would but it is for the best if I get the habit of ordering my summons to always be on the lookout.

After a few hours, I managed to kill 10 more slimes. All level 1 slimes, for apparently, no slime is higher than level 1 around in these forests, even with my fairies scouting the entire fucking forest.

At least I gained 50 EXP for the 10 slimes, as well slime gel and money. Bringing my EXP total for both my class to 85 and Firebolt as well.

I got 180 bucks from the slimes bringing my total funds to 255. I somehow feel poorer instead of richer. I have also been collecting flowers, mushrooms, moss and practically anything with the Alchemical Uses description in them.

Side note, the draining feeling I feel when using magic, which is me using my mana, can be very much worse. I ran out of magic after... 20-30 firebolts and it instead drained my HP to cast, which gave me excruciating pain as my lifeforce was used. I then promptly got paralyzed on the ground due to Mana Exhaustion and Lifeforce Exhaustion, as using HP instead of MP consumes about 5x more to make a simple spell.

Was I left with only a single HP remaining? Yes, yes I was. Did I panic and thought I would die? Yes, I did and then calmed down when I remembered I would just respawn if I died, which boredom soon overtook me as I waited for the Paralyzed Status Effect to wear off.

'Hmm... This grass is really soft... I'll take a nap. My servant is still summoned and my Fairies are patrolling around me on the lookout for anything dangerous.'

Yawning I close my eyes and promptly fall asleep.
