Do-Yun Picked up the dropped items.
Dropped item: [Slime Gel]: remnants of a slime, that can be used as a composite material.
"Not rare drops...but I guess it'll do..." Do-Yun picked up the small pouches filled with Slime Gel.
"Hey, Eun-Ji! How are you doing over there!?" Do-Yun looked behind him, only to see Eun-Ji pierce a slime six times.
"All good over here!" She said as she kept attacking slimes.
"I'm going deeper in! I wanna see if there are stronger slimes! Stay near the gate entrance! Do-Yun sped off.
Awakenings...Over the years, people learned that there were different ways to achieve awakenings...
The most prominent way was to touch an awakening stone, giving you a random class.
There are also class awakening stones, which do the same thing but awaken your class as the specific stone.
Some would wear items from the gates and if those worn dropped items and the stats of those items hit a certain threshold, they could forcibly awaken.
Others used medicines and elixirs to awaken forcibly, but it would always result in a production class such as alchemist, blacksmith, or chef, very rarely would someone use them to acquire even a half-decent class, much less a strong one...Where did Eun-Ji get an awakening stone from...?" Do-Yun sighed and stopped, finding slimes that were larger and around his level and he brandished his unusual combination of weapons.
"And I awakened through a worldwide event..." Do-Yun explained to himself
"Here we go!" Do-Yun sped toward the slimes, slashing at them, but since they were on his same level, they fought back, Do-Yun was being chased by larger slimes and despite their size, they were still somewhat fast, because of this, Do-Yun swerved around and slashes a green slime in the back, doing backstab damage.
"Aether Stride!" Do-Yun moved faster from every angle until the Slimes had lost any ability to fight back against his speed and his blade. He finally stops as he hears a large "POOF" sound, seeing the larger slimes all explode at once. He goes to take the drops.
"Let's see what I got..." Do-Yun picked up the slime Gel first. There were different kinds of slimes, Blue Slimes, Green slimes, Purple slimes...Then the bigger guys... Bog Slimes, Acid Slimes, Poison Slimes... Then even higher levels...Metal Slime, Ice Slime, Electric Slime, Magma Slime... and all manner of other slimes. Each a bit troublesome in their own way. Do-Yun then took the cores of the slimes he killed and lastly looked at the weapons.
Dropped item:Slime Core Staff
Dropped Item: Poison dart
Dropped Item: Fast Slime Rapier
Dropped item: Obsidian Spear
Dropped Item: Bog slime Gel x4
Dropped Item: Acid Slime Gel x2
Dropped Item: Bounce Slime Gel x4
Dropped item: Slippery Slime Gel x4
Do-Yun looked at his harvest and nodded before going off again, wanting to find more slimes, he swapped his shortsword for his Slime Core staff.
"Aether Stride!" He held up his basic staff and Slime Core staff, increasing his mana efficiency as he used only half the mana he normally would to cast his skill before zipping off deeper, where he encountered higher-level monsters, now hitting double digits.
"Let's retreat for now..." Do-Yun spoke to himself, turning around and going back to the dungeon entrance to meet Eun-Ji.
"Eun-Ji! Catch!" Do-Yun said as a rapier stabbed the ground in front of her.
"Be careful! You Coulda killed me there!" She picked up the rapier anyway. It was a brilliant blue, dyed from the remnants of a Fast slime, giving her faster attack speeds than a regular rapier.
"Think you can get to the higher level areas?"
"If you're with me? Definitly. If you watch out for me." Eun-Ji Said, Half teasing him.
"I reached Level 6, I need higher level slimes if I'm going to Level up anymore!" She stated.
"I'm still Level 9, I've got you!" Do-Yun assured her.
"Thanks! Let's go the distance!" She responded with gratitude.
Do-Yun lifted both staves "Aether Stride!"
Do-Yun speeds off with Eun-Ji keeping up with her own skills and some equipment that was dropped for her, she has boots that increase her speed, although she stays behind Do-Yun.
"In front of us! Attack!" Do-Yun said, increasing speed and swapping out one staff for his shortsword, and slashing a larger slime, doing more damage than normal due to the momentum behind his attack.
"Got it!" Eun-Ji followed up with an attack of her own, as Do-Yun skids, pivoted, turned around, and began speeding toward the slime they were effectively jumping, Eun-Ji backed up to reset her position to attack as Do-Yun made another speeding attack, trying to cut the slime in, failing but still doing a lot of damage.
"Eun-Ji! Finish it!" Do-Yun turned around again, Eun-Ji rushed at the slime, aiming for the core and thrusting her rapier right into the slime's regenerating wound, shattering it's core and destroying the slime. A "POOF" sound goes off and small leather bags with the slime gel in them fall to the ground, among other drops.
"Lets check the drops. I think this was a fast slime. Can I have the Fast Slime Gel? you can take its weapon drop in exchange."
"Deal." Eun-Ji nods, allowing him to take the slime gel, she takes the weapon drop, but something else drops. A pair of Slime skill books: Slime Strike and Slime Step
"I'll take Slime Step if you take Slime Strike," Do-Yun said.
"Deal," Eun-Ji said, taking the Slime Strike Skill Book and Do-Yun took the Slime Step Skill Book.
"Learn!" Both of them held their skill books and learned their respective skills.
"Lets keep going a little longer. Not sure how much time has passed in our world!" Eun-Ji said as she rushed ahead, seeing the same three big slimes Do-Yun had faced off against not too long ago.
"Can we fight them?" Eun-Ji asked.
"I think we can. Ive still got 70% of my mana left thanks to dual-wielding magic staves."
"I'm going in!" Eun-Ji said, charging in headfirst with her rapier.
"[Six Strike]!" Eun-Ji activates her skill, piercing a slime six times, before the other two attempt an attack on her.
"Oh, no you don't!" Do-Yun took out his dual staves
"Aether Stride! Slime Step!" Do-Yun activated two skills back-to-back swaps to his short sword and sped straight into one of the slimes, his sword turned to Reverse grip and stabbed into one slime, and somehow, due to his speed, even managed to push it back, his mana light went from blue to green as his two mobility skills worked in tandem.
