Walking slowly, Roel didn't miss anything. Be it the torch that is on the walls, or the small holes where rats and mouse lives.
Roel being a careful guy didn't lose his cool and was at guard.
In the long hallway, a window flashed twinkling.
[Dungeon Quest]
[Kill 1 Slime (0/1)]
[Kill 10 Slime (0/10)]
[Kill 100 Slime (0/10)]
[Defeat Boss (0/1)]
[Conquer the Dungeon 1 time (0/1)]
[Conquer the Dungeon 10 times (0/10)]
*No Time Limit
Looking at the window, Roel sighed. As the name of the dungeon, he is in, the monster here won't be different than slimes, or so Roel thinks.
While he was walking, a sound echoed in the quiet hallway.
Sqlaush!
The sound of something sticking to the ground was heard, and a shadow surfaced on the wall. Roel took a fighting stance.
A single blue sticky substance came into Roel's view.
The slime a size of a basketball moved toward Roel rubbing the ground.
"Is that a... slime? Why is it so slow?"
Roel didn't know if he should laugh or cry, the speed of the slime was so slow. And it looks weak. While Roel felt superiority and confidence that he could beat the slime, the sound of slime disappeared.
When Roel looked front, he saw a blue slimy thing coming at his face. Getting caught off-guard, Roel got hit on the face.
He fell on his butt and rubbed his nose. "ow! Ow!" His feeling of superiority went into the dump. Roel instantly stood and took a stance.
The slime jumped again, but Roel dodged it. He kicked the slime, but his feet got stuck on the slime's skin.
The area where the foot entered recovered itself and trapped Roel's leg.
"Sh*t!"
Cursing, Roel used his strength to pull the leg. Barely, he could pull off his leg and step back. Before the slime recovered, he caught the sight of a small stone in the center.
A plan instantly surfaced in his mind, and he guessed. "It must be its life source!"
He may be wrong, but trying is worth it. He doesn't have any other idea except that. If he just punched, kicked, and got stuck, neither he will kill the slime, nor he will get his quest complete.
Fortunately, the quest had no time limit, that's where Roel breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the slime, Roel dodged its incoming attack. He caught the slime and tear its skin until a stone came into his hand.
He picked the stone and tried to crush it. But it was strong, his mere hand strength couldn't even put a crack on it.
He raised his hand and threw the stone at the wall so hard. Colliding with the wall, the stone shattered.
And the sticky thing dissolved into the liquid. Roel saw that, and he relaxed.
[Ding!]
[Obtained 5 experiences from killing slime]
"Whew! One slime makes me this tired." Looking at the notification, he murmured. Still, he was amazed by the exp function. But 5 exp is too little.
He couldn't imagine what if a horde of them greeted them.

"I just hope, slime comes one by one."
As he wished it, he saw the shadow of another slime. Then another shadow, again...
One by one like an army, the horde of slime crawled toward Roel. The slime horde reached from one wall side to another wall side blocking any way to move forward.
"Feck! Me and my stupid mouth! Oh, god, I jinxed it!"
Roel yelled at himself before dashing down the hallway. If he was in a school, a teacher may block him.
But in the quiet hallway, no one disturbed him. He ran with his full strength.
He looked back and found he had lost the slimes.
Sighing, he heaved a breath of relief. "Thank god, they are slow."
Roel prayed to god. "Please God, just help me survive!"
Like his word have been heard by the god, a window flashed.
[Ding!]

Roel felt happiness like a beggar who just got food. Like a normal person who won the lottery with prize money of millions.

"My speed will increase that much!"
He had gained two skill points, so he decided to add them to the skill.
[Ding!]
[Dash leveled up]
[Increase speed by 50%]
A grin appeared on his face as he stare at the screen so much that his eyeballs may pop out. But this skill also has given me a surprise.
"Is this skill like an awakening skill?" He asked himself.
From what he knows, only after awakening, a skill is obtained, after that, one needs to get a 'Skill Book'. While he didn't know what the hell this system is. But he concluded what it is, it is far from his imagination and he never could guess.
"Well, let's complete other quests too."
He mumbled and started walking in the quiet eerie hallway.

"Add it into a collection, or I will come in your dream to haunt you." A famous writer said. Not me, I never threaten anyone like that.
Ok. (Pointing Gun)
