Chapter 7 - Trial Tower

"I'm home!"

Sheila shouted as she entered the house with her body covered in sweats. She feels that she could fall at anytime soon due to how tired she is, but she endures it with her willpower. She arrived at the bathroom, and before long, she was n.a.k.e.d, and the wet clothes have been put in the laundry.

"Ahh~ that feels good."

Sheila softly muttered as she enjoys the warm bath. People once said when you're in the bathroom, your mind will wander around and Sheila happens to be in that at the moment. She was so lost in thought that only when her mother comes in due to her taking too long in the bath did she finally respond. After drying her wet hairs, she lay down on the bed with the phone in hands.

『 The requirement has been met. 』

『 The Final Quest is starting... 』

"What— hold on!"

『 3..2...1. 』

Sheila was panicking when the system doesn't seem to be listening to her as indicated at the notification. Before she could say anything more, the surrounding of her was lit up as some kind of magic circle appears, and before long, Sheila disappeared along with the phone and the last notification that she noticed was,

『 The host was teleported forcefully by the system to Instant Dungeon. 』

***

"It's an unfamiliar ceiling..."

Sheila looked up and what she saw wasn't a ceiling but a clear blue sky. She gazes down at her surrounding, and her conclusion was, I freaking don't know! Where in the hell am I? This is not kidnapping, on the whole, another level, right? Before she knows it, she was laying on the grassland filled with vitality.

She tried searching for something in her pocket and what she founds was only one thing, a blue card. The moment she pulled it out of her pocket, it suddenly shines so brightly like that of the sun, which causes her to grimaced and closed her eyes. When the light subdued, the card was gone, and she heard a cold voice went through in her mind.

『 Welcome to the Trial Tower. 』

『 Please say, 'Open Status'. 』

Sheila went silent when she heard the voice. She was wondering if she had gone crazy due to gaming too much, or perhaps, this was a dream? At the very least, she could tell it was not a dream due to the pain she felt when she tried to pinch on her t.h.i.g.h. The last memory that she remembers before waking up to this grassland was the notification of the final quest starting.

Since she doesn't have her phone in person, she couldn't tell if this is the final quest or not. She would like to get up and move around to look for information, but she couldn't move even a single finger on her hands now after picking up the card that just vanished into thin air after releasing light so intense like that of a sun. She could only look around with her eyes and spoke with her mouth. Sheila let out a sigh of defeat and said.

"Open Status."

『 Sheila LV.1 』

『 HP: 30/30

MP: 50/50

—STR: 4

—INT: 10

—AGI: 3

—VIT: 6

—LUCK: 10 』

"My status... Nothing seems different apart from the title that is missing."

Sheila muttered as she stares at the game-like window in front of her. After a few seconds, the cold voice appears once again in her head.

『 The final quest [ Monster Slayer ] has been created! 』

『 Your body has been unfrozen. 』

『 Please check the detail of the quest for further details. 』

Sheila tries to move her hand, and when she was able to, she immediately gets on her feet before groaning to herself.

"How am I supposed to check the detail when I don't have my phone with me..."

But the moment she thought of the quest, a new window pops up in front of her face.

『 Monster Slayer 』

『 Kill 10 Slime.

Reward: 50 EXP

Punishment upon failure: Death 』

"What?! If I fail this quest... I will die?!"

Sheila shouted when she saw the punishment. But upon taking a closer look, she calmed down and realised that she only needs to kill ten slimes. In most RPG games, slime is the weakest kind of monster that any newbie has to beat in the tutorial. But even so, how in the world is she going to beat ten slimes with nothing but b.a.r.e hands? She looked around and noticed something shiny at the corner of her views.

『 Rusted Sword 』

『 A rusted sword that has been left behind by a certain adventurer. 2+ Attack Power. 』

She holds the rusty sword on her hands, and she could feel how heavy it is. She tried swinging around and slashing like in the game with one hand but failed due to the weakness of her strength. She could only wield it if she held the sword on both of her hands. After practicing and getting used to the rusty sword, she saw a bouncy water-like object jumping over to her location.

"My first victim."

『 Slime LV.0 』

『 HP: 50/50

MP: 0/0 』

The slime appears before her. Her health seems to be lower than the slime by 20 points. She gripped the rusty sword tightly in her hand and took a deep breath. She looked at the slime and noticed a stone-like object inside the slime as it moved around the jelly body.

She locked her gaze onto it and slashed the rusty sword toward the slime. The slime easily dodges it by jumping to the side. After seeing her failed attacked, Sheila immediately tries to get away from it, but the slime jumped at her before she could.

"It hurts!"

She g.r.o.a.n.e.d at the pain on her stomach, which caused her to let go of the sword accidentally. She silently cursed at herself for looking down upon the slime and look what has happened to her due to it.

The slime attacked her for the second time, but this time Sheila managed to dodge it on hair breath before picking the rusty sword back. This time she took the slime seriously and waits for the slime to make a move, and when the slime attacked her, she slashes her sword straight to the core.

『 You have killed Slime LV.0! 』
