Unlike everyone else who immediately dived into the dungeon clearing craze, Zen logged into his virtual world after a satisfying lunch of baked potatoes and bacon. He had something else to do to ensure his survival against his mortal enemies - the slimes.If there was one thing Zen learned about his enemies, it was how they always bounced when moving. Their insides were mostly liquid, even if they had a tough exterior. It reminded Zen of a bouncy rubber egg that had been soaked in vinegar for a few days. A surefire way to kill something built that way was by stabbing it. However, Zen was not conceited enough to think the gaming laws will protect his lack of experience with blades.Hence, he was back in the lobby browsing through all his games. Before the egg hunt, he trained himself at running. He certainly felt the difference it made to his running after the v

Although Zen did not have his armour, he now had a weapon. This was good enough, and Zen took a look at his active quests.===Active Side Quests:[Quest: Medicine for Martha’s Son Part 1Requirements: Foraging EncyclopaediaObjective: Collect the following herbs0/1 Sunset Dew Grass0/1 Red Spider Flower0/2 Black Thorny BerriesReward: 20% Friendship Bonus with Martha][Quest: Heart of a Crafter Part 1Requirements: NA

Zen was not a fool. He would not confront the green slimes head-on. With only a short sword to assist him, Zen had to be smart. First, he needed to find a safe place to hide in case things went south.If he only had to kill one green slime, Zen could do it easily by climbing onto a tree and pouncing on an unsuspecting slime. However, he was hunting a hundred slimes now. That trick would not work every time, and Zen would take too long to kill a hundred slimes. He needed something more efficient.The terrain that green slimes like to spawn at was to Zen’s natural disadvantage. The green slimes spawn in the meadows along the main road, obstructing villagers and merchants from using it.From observations, the green slimes would not spawn within two kilometres of the village. However, the protection area of the vi

Despite all the good boss drops, Zen still had no kills for normal green slimes. If they were alone, Zen could easily take them out. However, if they ganged on him in a group, he was still slightly afraid. His training in Claymore never taught him how to deal with multiple enemies at the same time. Zen found that it might be scarier to deal with many low levelled slimes at the same time than one area boss.His mind couldn’t analyse their movement patterns all at once, and Zen knew his clumsy body could not react fast enough to them even if this was a game. Except for moving around in the kitchen, Zen had very little coordination sense.Yet, here he was. The gamer looked at his quest and inventory tabs, wondering how he should approach this. Should he farm five normal slimes first and return to town to turn in his Slime Hunter quest to the shady merchant o

Charlie and Remi replied at light speed. Zen was still crafting his advanced healing salve when they demanded to know his location.Unable to leave the chapel until he finished his task, Zen told them to meet him in the chapel of the very first spawn town. He was surprised to hear that they were both on the fifth floor but knowing they had two combat powerhouses in their party, it wasn’t very surprising. Party Freedom was a rather well-balanced mix of members who could cover each other’s blind spots, and Zen was tempted to ask if Jessica and Benjamin wanted to join too. However, he decided against it for now.After all, he still had yet to hear from the Seer about the new information he discovered about NPCs and side quests.Father Clarence was busy minding his own business when two newcomers visited his
