"Splugie!" "Splugie!" "Splugie!"
Misaki looked at the cute little blue creature at her feet making all kinds of noise, she raised her foot back and launched it forward wanting to kick the damn thing away! But unfortunately, she forgot she was in the game and her powers at this moment were not the same as in the real world. Immediately as her foot touched the slime, the slime opened its mouth and chomped down on to her foot, causing her to scream out in pain: "Mother fucker!"
She watched as her hp began to drop quickly. Her original one hundred health points were dropping by five points every second her foot in the slimes mouth. "Damnit! Why do I feel a sense of deja vu!? Let go of me!"
Luckily this time she had a beginner's sword on her, allowing her to quickly kill the slime. Misaki truly wanted to cry. She wondered why her luck was so bad to be bitten by a cute creature not once in her life but twice! This was truly unfair! Looking down at the blobs of blue on the ground Misaki quickly picked them up. "If I recall correctly I can use this to make a potion if I mix it with some water and a bit of healing herb to make it a Full Health Pot. Well anyway, I guess it's time to reduce the slime population until they almost go extinct!"
Misaki went to work killing all cute things once again. She had to collect as many materials as she could so she could quickly level up. She knew her tricks last time in killing the two world bosses will never work again so she had to level up the proper way. Of course, if the opportunity presented itself she would have no issues killing a few world bosses if she could do it safely.
"So I will need materials for healing pots and ore for weapons. The armor is no big deal at low levels. But I will need to get better armor later on. It's sad I can get it made by my armor techs. Otherwise, whatever I make will not look so good..." Misaki felt a little sad about this but what could she do. She had no choice but to beat the final boss and then get access to the GM panel so she could download the system into her brain.
Misaki looked closed her menu not even looking at the rest of her menu. After killing hundreds of slimes she was now level five. After level five they stopped giving her any experience, but she still farmed more materials so she could have plenty of healing potions. "I guess I need to move on to the next area."
Misaki used her memory and made her way to the next area with level three and four monsters. It was not until she reached level ten that she decided it was time to collect some ore. "Okay, the most I can collect right now is loose copper ore. First I will need to make a pickaxe after I collect some. I guess I will also have to shape out some stone tools as well to make a copper hammer first to make proper weapons.
After collecting some copper and wood, Misaki went about making a small forge. She was only using copper to make her weapon so she did not care how straight it was as long as it could stab something. Its damage would at least still be higher than the starter weapon. At least she hoped.
With a bit of work and a few hours of labor, Misaki had finally forged a weapon. She went to her menu screen to check its stats when her finger stopped over a new button… "You have to be fucking kidding me!!!! When was there ever a crafting menu!? I just spent hours of hard labor making this damn crappy sword when I could have just fucking hit the damn craft button in the menu!"
It was only now that Misaki realized that she had been swearing a lot on this day. It seemed only video games could make her swear as much as she was now. Letting out a long sigh she quickly dismantled her bent copper sword that looked horrid using the menu. After which she went and crafted a real copper sword using the crafting menu. With a ding sound, she received a pristine green version of a copper sword that had an extra stat. It boosted attack by one! Her crappy copper sword she spent hours on and had to use physical labor to make only did five damage and was a grey item! The one she made in the menu was ten damage plus one!
"This game cheats!" Misak truly felt cheated. Her hours of hard work for a crappy copper sword compared to a menu crafted item that takes no more than sixty seconds to make, was beyond unfair! Sadly there were no game devs to complain to. "Well, at least I can make things easier now as long as I have the items. This will make leveling faster as well."
With her new discovery, Misaki went to work making everything she needed to survive for the next few levels.
