The Food Giver stood bravely before the enemy, sword out and ready to strike the monstrous beast that stood between them and the end. The jewels glowed and the gold shimmered on the quivering sword. Taking a breath in, the enchanted sword stilled as the beast slept in the gathered gold. Each breath was of sulfur and the warmth of the sun. Just one wrong step woke the beast and it growled as fire spewed from their mouth. Standing up now it’s black scales shimmered and the thin wings spread.
Eyes widening at the large creature, this was stronger than anything they both had faced together. They had their doubts for most of those fights but each time the Food Giver prevailed at the last second. When they were battered and on their last hit point, Food Giver always came through saving them.
Maybe the same will happen again and they can have a large feast after this?
But first, the giant Lizard with wings had to go down. S Hope will have their home back from this giant creature and they will be victors!
They can hardly wait for the feast after, their stomach rumbled.
“Let’s finish this quickly, Food Giver,” said man turned to look at them and smiled and faced the creature with a raised sword as the Dragon roared and took flight.
Food Giver ran forward to hit the monster before it got too far away and the Dragon returned the hit with it’s own. Knocking the man down in front of the green blob with eyes who just looked at them not amused.
“It didn’t hit you that bad, you can take 2 more like that! Get back in there and fight!” the green blob moved as if it was talking.
“You could help you know!” the green blob looked shocked but then closed it’s eyes. “Real helpful.”
“Just hurry up and beat it so we can eat. I haven’t had a bite since this morning and we’ve been walking non-stop,” the blob wiggled and stretched as if yawning and settled again.
The man got hit again but with the Dragon’s tail and the Food Giver in Shining Armor stayed down a little too long.
“You got Stunned?” looking at the Dragon it raised it’s claws and slashed at their Food Giver. Looking at the Health of the man it seemed they were stunned and now bleeding. “It has a Bleeding Effect too?”
“It has a Bleeding Effect! Ahh!” Food Giver moved just in time to avoid the claws again, the Dragon roared and this time it did something to it’s speed. “The Level difference is insane! If I get hit again and the Bleeding Effect happens I’ll be logged out for a few days at least!”
“Does that mean no food? I’m starving! Don’t make me eat your Armor again! I will!” The threat went unheard as the man charged the Dragon again and this time the claws were faster than the Food Giver could run.
But the Dragon wasn’t fast enough for the green Slime that was just on the sidelines watching their Food Giver get hit multiple times. Flickering forward to take the hit for the Food Giver despite the 100 HP the little Slime had.
The thought of Despawning never crossed their mind, not realizing that this could actually be the end of the faithful Slime that’s been with the man since the start of their journey.
The hit connected and a blinding flash of light-

In the black and breathless world.

There was no sound, no feeling, just absolute stillness.
It was peaceful, floating, no thoughts, no worries.
Just Peace and Lightness.
Until it was interrupted by a blop.
This caused the entity to open their eyes and see a Green Screen with the words: [Hello, Welcome to MiDNIGHT WORLD.]
[Would you like to nAME your CHARACTER?]

Only seeing the words Name and Character they didn’t bother to read it completely.

[-: Untameable]

Sounds like a good Trait to have, they certainly didn’t want to be bothered by things.

[Welcome UNTAMeABLE  to the world of MIDNIGHT WORLD.][Please enjoy your Journey as a LEVEL 1 TAMeABLE SLIME.]

That was it? Don’t they get a name?
The world filled in with trees and greenery, sounds starting to rush in like waves from the ocean crashing in and pulling out. The momentary silence before the sound level stilled and the music from the birds were calming.
The gentle wind blowing through the crisp green leaves of the trees, the blades of grass... squishing sounds?
Seeing the world around them felt big and endless in it’s majestic form in their spot beside a large tree with squishy moss growing on it.
‘Ah, that’s where the squishing sound is coming from,’ the different transparent colored orbs were hopping about happily in place.
It was next to peaceful but they wondered if the darkness would come back. They would like for it to come back, this place was bright and way to cheerful for their liking.

[Would you like a TUTORIAL?]

‘Tutorial?’ wondering what else they could learn from this place aside from just living in it they accepted. ‘Wouldn’t hurt to know more about this... world. Hopefully this is over soon.’

[YES][QUESTS UPDATED]- Go to INVENTORY •NEW•
Staring at the Green Screen like it was suppose to add more words to it. They wondered if this part of the Tutorial was broken, unless it was one of those stupid thought command ones. Shaking their head knowing that was impossible and stupid, but out of curiosity they decided to try it. ‘Menu?’

[MENU][LOCKED] [• INVENTORY] [LOCKED] [LOCKED] [LOCKED][LOCKED] [LOCKED] [LOCKED] [LOCKED] [LOCKED]

‘Oh, wonderful!’ they stared at the locked tabs and partly narrowed their eyes at it, ‘Everything needs to be unlocked before advancement. This is probably going to get old fast.’
Looking up above the fancy Green Screen, the trees covered the giant blue sky. Off to the side the Squishing sounds were still heard. Glancing over one of them closed their eyes in a smile, it was almost cute. ‘Gross. Slime’s being friendly must be an important trait for them. Us? I am one if I remember correctly.’
Back to the Green Screen they are now meet with a box of two rows and four columns.

[EMPTY] [COLLAR] [COIN] [EMPTY][EMPTY] [EMPTY] [EMPTY] [EMPTY]

‘A collar huh? Nothing like owning a pet,’ they thought staring at the Collar with a tag and then seeing what else was there, ‘What’s with the coin? Well good thing I’m planning on staying here.’
[COLLAR: Binds when picked up, can only change name Once. For TAMER’s only. Requires Level 100 unless allowed to TAME.]
‘Tamer’s? Great, stuck with this name for awhile until someone comes by with the right class and level to change it. Should have paid more attention. Why is that thing getting closer? It’s huge.’
[COIN: A coin]
‘Huh... useless information about a damn coin,’ looking to the Orange spherical shape moving closer they wondered what it wanted the eyes seemed to have age lines on them.

Looking at it only caused them more worry, the only thing they had was Speak and it was mainly to be used to communicate with other Slimes. They also had little defence but hey, they were fast. ‘Someone up there must be laughing at me.’

‘Now what’s this? More useless Coins and what to do with a Skill Point? Why need them? Just a useless Slime out in the middle of nowhere with other useless Slimes. Is it because of the Tamable aspect?’ they sighed trying to calm themselves down.
‘Who would want a Slime? No one wants a Slime as a companion. Only thing Slimes are good for is being killed and gaining EXP.’ They calmed down enough to continue with the Tutorial in hopes that it would end soon.
[QUESTS UPDATED]- Go to MAIL [COMPLETED]- Go to SKILLS •NEW•
[MENU][• SKILLS]
The tree was large with four main Classes, Warrior, Rouge, Mage and Archer. Looking at the individual branches there was two options after it and again with the next two options that were locked.
Dead Walker.
Apocalyptist.
Reviver.
Bartender.
Those were just some of the options on a few that they glanced at, they noticed that none of them connected to the other base Class. ‘It would take so long to look at it, is there some sort of cheat sheet? Does it end?’
Taking a look at the base Class they started to actually weigh their options.
‘Warriors are Physical attackers, that will take a lot of energy to even move. So nope. Mage are Intellectual beings that use too much of their brains, nuh-uh. Archer requires strength to even wield a bow, ugh. Rouge requires agility. Each one needs me to move! Which one has the least amount of movement? Mage, Archer and Rouge. Mage and Archer. Archer. That one still needs strength. Rouge doesn’t need much other than speed and I have the most of that. In the end I’m still a Slime.’
[CONRGAdULATIONS, you have chosen QUEST_ID_CLEAR_NULL, “Choose a Class Type”, “Choose a Class Type of either Warrior, Mage, Magician or Archer. you’ll receive 5 skill points.” 5, 50 500, 5, 55 000, 5 000, 50, 3 763 000, 377 777 777 777 770 000 500, 111 111 111 100 000 000 005, 555 555 800 000, 66 999 999 999 999 999 000 005 000, 44 444 444 400 002 222 222 220 000 000 000, 400 000 005 040, 300 007, 70 000 000);]
Staring at the wall of text going off the green screen was... headache inducing. ‘What even is this? What are words?’
[RECIVED 44, 511, 444, 888, 891, 111, 594, 629, 979, 112 SKILL POINTS][ERROR: SKILL POINTS LOCKED]
Seeing the message of the Skill Points being locked was relieving but also worrying that they have that many to begin with. ‘Having to go into the Menu and click the Skill Tree, urgh, getting tired just thinking about it. Isn’t there something to help along the way like an Auto Clicker?’
[Auto Select SKILL POINTS?] [YES]
‘Oh the world does listen! Now nothing to click or worry about for the rest of the Lifetime.’
[Auto Select: ON][Points will randomly go to your CHARACTER]
They relaxed and started to think of what was going on, ‘Very strange that the system was broken. Don’t these things run smoothly? Or was this a beta thing? Well, it’s more strange that knowing these words in this world... actually knowing the out of pla- actually never mind... I’m getting tired and this Old Slime won’t leave.’
[QUEST UPDATE]
Great.
Just great.
Can’t this thing go any faster? Or just go Silent?
[’OLD SLIME’ wOuld like to MERGE][AUto Select answer ‘NO’: ON][’OLD SLIME’ is SAD]
The sad look on this Old Slime was indeed heartbreaking but then it turned to a look of determination and once again approached with the same Quest.
[’OLD SLIME’ would like to MErGE]
Turn the stupid Auto Select off if it’s just going to be annoying!
[Auto Select: OFF][YES][’OLD SLIME’ is HAPPY]
The Old Slime sat next to Untamable and the final words the Old Slime said “The journey before you is long young one, take this with you and may it help you along the way.”
[’OLD SLIME’ Has MERGED with you!][’OLD SLIME’ has givEn you a SKILL][New SkiLl: MERGE][Auto Select MERGE?][NO]
If Slimes want to Merge let them, sounds troublesome that they would want to ask each and every time.
[Auto Select MERGE: OFF]

Finally, that was annoying. It doesn’t seem like anything else wants attention, just a quiet place in the forest with Slimes everywhere. Blue, Red, Orange, Pink, Purple, Yellow... no Green Slimes, odd. Well, doesn’t really matter what colors are out there, just knowing that they won’t be bothered any time soon was enough. Its time for a nap as well, the Tutorial was exhausting.
‘I’m a Level 1 Tamable Rouge Slime with no weapons to speak of and only two useless skills. Speak and Merge. Also useless collars and coins. What will become of the Skill Points?’
“Tsk.”
‘Just rest, everything will be sorted out soon. There’s a lot of bugs for this MIDNIGHT WORLD. Best to rest, rest...’
Closing their eyes finally, the world was once again shrouded in darkness. The ever sweet darkness, the noise fading away in gentle cotton. It was so peaceful, so relaxing, a nice long rest was in order.
[Would you like to SAVE?]
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[YES]
[SAVING...][SAVEPOINT SAVED]
