Chapter 17 - Killing Boss

『 You are unable to exit the Trial Tower! 』

『 Special Quest has been created! 』

『 Kill The Boss! 』

『 Kill the Slime King that stood ahead of you.

Reward: Lottery.

Punishment upon failure: Death. 』

"What the poo!"

Sheila cursed inwardly upon seeing the quest in front of her. She thought of just checking out the powerful presence that she felt and after that, she would leave. But she didn't expect for this system to suddenly make its move when it had been staying quiet at all time.

How was she supposed to slay the Slime King in front of her when she got no weapon on her? Sheila cursed once again at the thought. If she had known that before she would have bought a baseball or something and used it as a weapon, but she didn't because she can pass the daily quest easily without having one.

But luckily, she found a kitchen knife in her inventory. Did I forget to put the knife back at the kitchen after cooking the food there? Sheila thought back to when she was cooking. At the time, when she was preparing her food, she puts all the kitchen stuff inside her inventory for the sake of convenience. But only to forget to put it back to its place due to receiving game notifications from her phone as she urgently runs back to her bedroom not to miss the event.

"Kitchen knife... it should be fine."

While Sheila was in thought and looking for a weapon in her inventory, the slime was slowly moving toward her. When she found the kitchen knife, the Slime King was already right in front of her.

Sheila, in her battle-ready form with the knife in hands, stood and waits for the slime to attack her first before making her move. When she was looking at the slime, she saw a part of the jelly-like body stretch out long until it becomes like tentacles before lashing out at her at such fast speed.

Boom!

The sounds of the tentacles hitting the ground resound as the hit missed. If not for the increase in the agility stats, Sheila would have been unable to dodge the tentacles attacked from the slime. After avoiding it to the side, she immediately makes her move by swinging the kitchen knife in her hands like a short sword, slashing at the Slime King.

But it appears the slime was fine from her attacked because as soon after her slash cut out a piece of its jelly-like body, the slime sent out a whip tentacle attack at her.

Bam!

It missed once again. The slime's body jiggles as it was angry that its attack keeps getting dodge easily by the prey in front of it. It then keeps on sending a tentacle whip attack after it.

Bam! Boom! Bam!

After a few minutes of dodging the Slime King's attacks, she finally figured out its pattern. Thanks to the swordsmanship skill and her agility stats, she was able to avoid all the strike from it.

Sheila locked her eyes onto the core that was at the size of a human's palm swimming inside its body while dodging the slime's attacked. When she saw the slime stopping its movement for a few seconds, It was enough she thought in her mind before immediately runs toward where the core is before sending out a slash at it.

Crack!

After being hits by her slashed, the core cracked before turning into a fine dust.

『 You have killed the Slime King LV.6! 』

『 You have leveled up! 』

『 You have completed the quest! 』

『 Lottery function is now unlocked! 』

All the game-like notifications appeared in front of her. She wipes the sweat off her forehead before muttering 'status' in her breath.

『 Sheila LV.11 』

『 HP: 80/80 MP: 100/100

—STR: 20 —INT: 20

—AGI: 13 —VIT: 16

—LUCK: 10 AP: 10 』

A smile appears on her face at the two digits on her level. She put back the kitchen knife into her inventory before looking at the surrounding area of the fight. Many grounds have now become cracked due to the slime's attacked. Thankfully it didn't hit her or she will definitely suffer, a lot. It sents shiver to her whole body just by the thought.

"Hmm? What's this?"

Sheila picked up something shiny that sparkled off the ground where the Slime King died, leaving a puddle of water behind.

『 You have obtained 200G! 』

***

"Ah, I'm home."

Sheila muttered before laying weakly on the bed. Why does this feel like deja vu? Well, whatever. All she wanted now was to rest her exhausted body and enter the blessed dream. But her curiosity keeps her awake, and she picked up the phone at the table by the bedside.

『 Welcome to Leveling System! 』

『 Lottery(!) 』

『 You have one free spin for today!

Spin it now and win anything or nothing. 』

When she clicked on the lottery, she was greeted with the message and a whole new window. It shows a lottery spin wheel like that in a game, and it has three different kinds of categories in it, such as Skills, Items and a blank one, probably nothing.

"YES!"

Sheila's gamer self inside her screams out after looking at the skills category and items category but soon calmed down herself when she saw the blank category. Once again, before she spins the lottery, she went ahead and did the luck ritual by worshipping the one and only RNG God.

"Please give me something nice!"

She said before spinning the wheel on the phone's screen. When the spinning starting to slow down, she stares at it without blinking. The needle slowly passes the blank category and getting closer to the skills category, and her heartbeat harder and harder as the needle getting closer. But it went through and stopped at Items category instead.

"Aww. I thought I could get some good skill, oh well."

『 You have acquired the 10 Low-Grade Health Potions from the lottery draw! 』

『 Low-Grade Health Potion 』

『 Effect upon use: +50HP 』

"...my luck sucks."

It was not wrong to say that she was disappointed, very much. Just by looking at her crestfallen expression would tell you right away at how she felt. Where is Godly Sword? Deadly Saber? Or Heavenly Bricks?! Of all things, why do I get a health potion?

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes before opening it back after breathing out all the disappointment inside of her. She looked at the lottery window on the phone and noticed something.

『 Lottery 』

『 1 Draw — 50G

10 Draw — 500G 』

"So, this is where I should use the gold coins that I collected from killing the Slime King, huh."
