For a second there was a blinding light as the same blue summoning circle lit up under us as we were sent to the dungeon. I find myself standing on an open field. There was a forest up ahead.
A warm wind was blowing. It was a sunny day, perfect for a picnic spot. Only and only if there weren't any slimes roaming around everywhere! A bit far away from me, I see an ocean-blue slime roaming around happily. I instantly used observation on it.
Normal Slime
Rarity: F-
Age:7 days
Str: F-
End: N/A
Ag: F-
Mana: F-
Skills: N/A
Overall Rank: F-
After seeing the status I did what every sane person would do. I jumped towards the lone slime with a smile that couldn't be normal. It was making cute sounds as hopped over the ground with a 'boing' sound. When it saw me its expression turned into that of fear as it started screaming.
But all was over with a single strike with the sharp kitchen knife. It has pitifully low durability. Some slimy liquids fall on the ground as it goes out with a 'puff'.The liquids remain on the ground.
After seeing the spectacle the other slimes start running away in different directions. Hawks quickly shoots out some wind bullets.4 dies but the others escape. What happened after that can only be described as a massacre. Hawks and I went on a killing spree. Hawks with his wind bullets and I with my knife.
Hawks only know how to use wind bullets. After a few hours of meaningful massacre, I was covered in sweat and some slimy liquids. A kid's body can't do much exercise. I was completely exhausted and my body was heating like a bitch.
It looked like the Hawks could still spare some mana. So he was pretty smug about it. After killing what seemed like 200 or so we decided to exit the dungeon. When I was back it was getting dark.
So we must have been away for around 7-8 hours. I immediately went to take a long bath in hot water. After a fresh bath, I was back to making dinner. I had some chicken and rice for dinner along with Hawks.
Then I checked my status. I was disappointed that my stats didn't change, same with the Hawks. I guess it would be too easy if that happened. But what surprised me was my points.
Points:5850
Clarice said a single normal slime was worth 30 points. So we must have killed 195 of them. It's also fortunate that I get points for familiar kills. I was extremely exhausted so I unsummoned Hawks and went straight to bed. Not before taking a painkiller.

"Kouske!Wake up. It's already 6:15 in the morning. You need to go to school!"
"What school?!"I yelled out as my sleep was disturbed. But then I realized where I was. The kid was still an elementary school kid. Yesterday was fine as it was Sunday. But if I don't go to school the teachers might come directly knocking at my door, especially considering my circumstances. So I hastily made breakfast after a shower which was only milk and cereal. I got dressed up and went on my way to school.
It was only a 15-minute walk from home. When I went to class I saw the familiar face of Momo and Saji. They are young but still recognizable. Saji is super hyperactive and started showing signs of delinquency.Momo is just like a ojousama.She's always polite with the teachers, unlike the other kids.
She should know about the supernatural as her father is in a high post in a company affiliated with the Sitries. At least that's what I remember. I never talked with Saji but I have met Momo a few times because our parents were acquaintances.
When I entered the room she and some other random kids said hello to me. I replied but didn't say anything more and took my seat. After a while the teacher came and these boring lessons began.
'I need to find some way to skip these!'
"You might find some useful skills in the shop for that"
'You're right. I will search for hypnosis skills when I have more points to spare"After that, I had to grit my teeth to get through the classes. Almost every teacher was asking about me if I was living alone, or if I needed any help. After giving some childish answers I quickly walked out of the school to not waste any more time there.
On my way back home I was passing by the ominous Kuoh Park where all kinds of accidents seem to happen. But people still go there. In the park, I saw two very familiar kids playing.Those two were Issei and Irina.Irina looked like a bishounen and was dressed in boys' clothing. So it's no wonder Issei would mistake her for a boy.
But she's too beautiful to be a boy. It's not like Gasper the bloody Vladi's case is normal. Well, it looks like I have to change my plan. Even if I didn't have any interest in the future perv king, I wanted to get close to Irina. So I called out to them.
"Hey, Can I play with you guys?"
"Sure!" says Irina cheerfully.
"I'm Kouske Miyamura. You guys are?"
"Hello. I'm Issei Hyoudou"
"I'm Irina Shidou. Nice to meet you Kouske"
After that we played hide and seek, then a little bit of baseball. We talked a lot in this timeframe. I found out the Shidous and Hyoudous are neighbors and they have been here forever. In the afternoon their parents came to pick them up.
They were happy to see someone new with their children. I bid them my farewell and went on my way home. After having lunch prepared myself for dungeon diving as I summoned Hawks again. We did the same thing inside the dungeon.
The slimes aren't worth much trouble. Neither have I found any rare slimes nor do I know where the boss is located. I came home exhausted and after having dinner went straight to bed. This routine went on for around 25 days. During this time I became a close friend of Irina as I kept visiting her every day. I mostly ignore Issei. We don't talk much. It seems Irina's the only one who's keeping us connected.
I was wrong about him being a future perv king. It looks like he's already corrupted. This kinda thing can only be possible in this perverted boobs world where the main character gets powered up by touching boobs. Otherwise, I don't know how a six-year-old can develop sexuality so soon. Even the adults were disgusted by Issei's grin while looking at random big-breasted girls on the road.
Issei and Irina's parents have tried to get him back on track but he's a lost cause. Irina's parents were very happy that I was her friend. They also found out about my parents a few days ago. They were also shocked to know that I live alone.
Mrs Shidou was adamant about having dinner with them every day. I refused. But I was still invited to come to their house next weekend which I happily obliged. This happened on my 26th dive. I encountered a rare water elemental slime on the riverbed.
Water Elemental Slime
Race: Elemental Slime
Age:2 years
Str: F+
End: F+
Ag: F+
Mana: F+
Skills: Water Manipulation
Overall Rank: F+
"Kouske!Be careful. It's as powerful as Low Class(high) devils"
"Yes, I--
While I was talking with Clarice the Slime noticed me and sent a pressurized water canon toward me. Hawks quickly shoved me aside from the attack otherwise my condition would have been the same as the tree behind me which has a big hole drilled through it.
My body tensed up fearing what might have happened to me if I was hit with it. The Slime sends another water canon towards me. Hawks fire several wind bullets toward it as both neutralize each other.
My hands were shaking as I didn't want to lose my second chance in life. I was just a nobody in my past life but here I can become whatever I want. I don't want to lose this chance.
"Kouske, focus! Help Hawks-chan!"
I finally snapped out of my reverie after hearing Clarice's voice. I gripped the knife strongly as I dashed towards the Slime while Hawks was covering me by nullifying the attacks. I quickly stabbed him twice as I ran back while Hawks took the chance to hit him with a few wind bullets.
We kept doing this again and again. While I was fighting in close combats, Hawks was fighting in range combats with his magic. The fight went on for about 20 minutes. Hawks and I were both injured a few times.
This was the most nerve-wracking fight for me as I could die here if I got directly hit by those pressurized water canons. They might even be faster than bullets though I've never held a gun before. After some back and forth we were able to kill the Slime. I almost collapsed on the ground because of blood loss. I quickly sent us out of the dungeon.
"Kouske, buy a health recovery potion from the shop"
I bought two F+ rank potions with a total of 3000 points. As our injuries aren't very serious this will suffice. Our wounds instantly disappeared when we ate it. But I still felt exhausted. It seems its rank is not high enough to recover blood losses.
After eating a large amount of food and fruits I contemplated on our fight with the Elemental Slime. I became complacent because the normal slimes were extremely weak. Fighting them hasn't given my status any kind of boost. My stats haven't changed much except for my strength and endurance. It has both become F-.
But the Hawks's stats haven't changed at all. Clarice said needs another push to become a Class Spirit. We need to work on our fighting styles. Hawks need to learn a new spell and I need to develop my close combats further while finding a way to make range attacks.
If it weren't for Hawks I would have died back there. I couldn't have done anything if the Slime chose to stay away from me while attacking from range. At the very least my points have gone up a lot.
Kouske Miyamura
Race: Human
Age:6 years
Str: F-
End: F-
Ag: N/A
Mana: F+
Skills: Summoning, Taming
Points:152250
Overall Rank: F-
We have been killing slimes like crazy. So it's no wonder I've so many points. Clarice said I got 150 points for the rare slime. If we can keep this up we might be able to buy all those extremely overpowered skills from the shop. I already know what I want. So quickly start buying things from the shop.
Fountain of Youth(A):80000 points
Vritra's Sacred Gear(Complete)(B+):45000 points
Skill Sharing(D+):13000 points
Hypnosis(D):10000 points
After that, I was left with only a few thousand points. I also spent an extra thousand on Clarice's advice.
Points:3250
Everything appeared in front of me as skill orbs. When I pressed them on my chest they went inside my body. There was a surge of knowledge inside my head about Skill Sharing and Hypnosis. I could use them perfectly.
I didn't feel anything different for the sacred gear. I think I first have to awaken it. But what surprised me was the Fountain of Youth. I was holding a cup filled with it in my hands. I gulped down all of it without any hesitation.
My body was instantly at its peak. I could feel that I had become an immortal existence. The extra 1000 I spent was for a body transformation skill. It would allow me to change my body shape and age.
Body Transformation(F):1000 points
Now it's time to awaken Vritra's Sacred Gear!
