SWNOVELS Chapter 2
Chapter 2
Despite not knowing whether it was due to his arrival here, Vincent Wolf awakened his second Beast-controlling Talent, [Simulation].
However, when he tried to use it, he found a prerequisite condition: he must enter the Mysterious Realm.
And to enter the Mysterious Realm, and thus use the talent for its entry, he had to physically go into the Mysterious Realm.
To enter this Mysterious Realm, just for making an appointment, Vincent Wolf waited for two days.
These two days, he was extremely cautious, afraid of encountering that little fox who forged a contract with him.
The result was, just as Vincent Wolf was leaving his house to go to the Water Mysterious Realm, he still encountered it.
Damn it!
As for the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm, Vincent Wolf also learned some information.contemporary romance
Every Mysterious Realm has its own Spirit, and once you receive the Spirit’s approval, you’ll receive its blessing.
To obtain the approval of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, Vincent Wolf had heard that one must consecutively defeat a hundred water-type pet beasts.
[Do you want to start the Simulation?]
“Yes.”
[Available Mysterious Realm: Water Mysterious Realm]
[Available object for Simulation: Slime]
[Randomly Obtained Clause: Thick-skinned (White)]
[Thick-skinned (White): You are strong and robust, able to slightly resist the damage caused by skills.]
[Note: You can randomly obtain a clause each day for the first simulation.]
[Simulation begins:]
[Day 1 in the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself turned into a Slime. You are startled and hid on an island for the day.]
[Day 2, you woke up very hungry, went to the lakeside to take a drink of water, and then hidden again.]
[Day 3, you became braver and attempted to explore further. Not too far into your exploration, a Bubble Turtle spotted you and initiated combat.]
[After a simple combat session, you get beaten by the Bubble Turtle’s [Rush] skill. Because of your thick skin, you didn’t take too much damage, just feeling a bit humiliated.]
[Day 4, you hid on the island, practising [Spit Water], determined to retaliate.]
[Day 5, still on the island, you continue practising [Spit Water], your skill proficiency upgraded from novice to skilled.]
[Day 6, practising [Spit Water]…]
[…]
[Day 20, practising [Spit Water], your skill proficiency progressed from skilled to expert. At the same time, you levelled up to Awakening Level 2.]
[During the practice, you encountered humans several times. You were tempted to have them take you away, but you hid and refrained from revealing yourself for various reasons.]
[Day 21, you feel you have mastered your skill, full of confidence you went out to challenge the Bubble Turtle. You and the Bubble Turtle fought for eight hundred rounds.]
[Your spit water, even though it has reached expert level, its damage has decreased a bit against water-type Bubble Turtle. You won narrowly by resorting to some human cunning.]
[During the fight, you personally experienced the [Rush] skill several times, leading to some comprehension, so you learned the [Rush] skill.]
[You despised the Bubble Turtle, so you engulfed it with your body and digested it. You levelled up to Awakening Level 3, you became slightly more powerful.]
[Day 22, you hid on the island, practising [Rush].]
[…]
[Day 40, practising [Rush], your skill proficiency arrives at expert level. At the same time, you levelled up to Awakening Level 4.]
[Day 41, once again full of confidence, you started venturing outside the island. After leaving the island, whenever you encountered pet beasts, you fought against them. You won over a dozen fights, and each time you won, you devoured your opponent.]
[After devouring a dozen or so beasts, your level raised to Awakening Level 7, and your bloodline awakened, acquiring the racial talent skill: [Devour]. Sadly, you didn’t get to enjoy this for long, as you were punctured by a Swordfish.]
[You died.]
[After the simulation ends, you can keep the following:]
[Option 1: Retain memories from the simulation, including all learned knowledge, skills and combat experience.]
[Option 2: Retain racial levels.]
[Option 3: Retain growth levels.][Choice 4: Keep the clause for a week.]
“A swordfish, really is a sword, eh!”
Vincent Wolf gritted his teeth.
“Why am I the one who has to turn into a slime for the simulation? Well, I suppose that this dopey slime wouldn’t survive beyond three days if left to its own devices. Better leave it to me.”
“As for what to keep… I reckon growth level isn’t critical, since we can still continue to simulate. Keeping the clause doesn’t do much too. Guess there’s no other choice but the first.”
With Vincent’s selection, the words in the simulation were infused directly into his and the Slime’s minds. Every scene in the simulation felt as if they had experienced it first-hand.
The initial panic of the transformation, humiliation from failures, body memories formed from practicing skills, etc., were all carved clearly into Vincent and the Slime’s minds.
It felt as though Vincent indeed spent forty-two days as a Slime within this Mysterious Realm.
The Slime, still in Jasper Patton’s arms, also gained the memories of these forty-two days. However, it was confused now, wondering why it was dead yet able to look around while being carried by its master.
Jasper Patton re-summoned the current screen for the Slime.
[Name]: Slime
[Attribute]: Water
[Species Level]: Low-grade Transcendent
[Growth Level]: Awakening Level 3
[Species Talent]: Devour (Entry-level)
[Skills]: Spit Water (Proficient), Rush (Proficient)
[Introduction]: The Slime that has been contracted through dimensional summoning, and possesses extra skills compared to ordinary slimes.
The increase in proficiency of the skills led to an unexpected joy–the growth level of the Slime improved by two ranks.
Spit water and Rush were nothing but ordinary low-grade skills that were commonly possessed by pet beasts. They were of no interest to him. He was only interested in the [Devour] skill.
[Skill]: Devour
[Skill Level]: High Level
[Introduction]: Enhances digestive ability, increases the amount of absorbed energy threshold, and reduces the chance of physical explosion. When digesting a pet beast, if the Species Level of the opponent is higher than self, there’s a slim chance of self Species Level increment.
Seeing this skill, Vincent widened his eyes.
“This is a godly skill! I knew there was something valuable hidden in this thing that I summoned! It indeed had hidden potential!”
The skill levels of pet beasts vary from low to high, categorized as: Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Level, Super Grade, Emperor Grade, and Divine Grade.
They correspond to pet beast Species Level: Awakening, Extraordinary, Commander, Monarch, Overlord, Guardian God.
A High Level skill was something only a Commander-Level species could comprehend, highlighting the value of this [Devour] skill.
But he quickly realized that this skill was rather limited.
The fact that there was a “slim chance” of increasing Species Level indicated that devouring one or two wouldn’t do much; it would require devouring a large number of pet beasts to increase Species Level.
And there were only two places where there would be a large number of pet beasts.
One was outside the city, and the other was in a Mysterious Realm or some relic.
Going hunting in the wild was risky, as many powerful pet beasts were highly territorial.
Killing a large number of pet beasts in a Mysterious Realm was even illegal.
For instance, in the Water Mysterious Realm, a Beast Master could accidentally harm or kill other pet beasts during a fight, but he couldn’t commit savage or random killings.
To supervise this, everyone is required to carry a Mysterious Realm Pass which ensures the holder can reach their intended Mysterious Realm and acts as a monitoring measure.
This monitoring measure can ensure the safety of the holder and prevent them from committing illegal activities.
If Vincent started to slaughter wantonly here, he would likely be arrested and sentenced before he killed two beasts. Off to the sewing machine for him.
“Only because I have the [Simulation] Beast-controlling Talent, which lets me keep the Species Level achieved during the simulation, I’m able to do something. Otherwise, I can only stare.”
“Continue the simulation, continue the simulation!”
[Start Scenario?]
[Note: When in the simulated Mysterious Realm, there are two opportunities for simulation every day. When outside the Mysterious Realm, there is only one opportunity for simulation each day, and each simulation requires a certain amount of physical strength.]
