I’m not S&M, I think?

So as I was sitting there with the slime continuously ramming into me. I heard another notification go off in my head. "Learned Skills: <Pain Nullification (Lvl 1)> , <Thick Skin (Lvl 1)>. Title {Tormentor} gained. Skill series <Living Hell> learned."

Oi! Oi! What do you mean <Thick Skin (Lvl 1)> and {Tormentor}!? I have done no such things okay! What, you say me sitting here not letting the slime kill me is tormenting it? What the hell do you mean!? Not like I told it to attack me did I!? Geez! Fine I will just kill it and end its misery okay! Wait! Why are you all saying I should die for the slime's happiness!?

Letting out a sigh, I raised the sharpened stick in my hand and thrust it forward stabbing the slime with all my might. As I did I watched as a few floating texts appeared in my vision (-5 HP). I checked the slime's HP and it went from 20 HP to 15 Hp. Seeing this I quickly pulled my sharpened stick out of the slime and thrust it three more times.

"Slayed Blue Slime Gained 5 Experience Points!"

Oh looks like I got some experience points. Too bad my status does not tell me how much experience to next level though. Well, nothing I can do about what's not there. Let's just hope if I kill a few more slimes here my level will go up. For now, let's see what these new skills do.

<Pain Nullification (Lvl 1)>

[A Passive skill that will nullify pain from attacks. The higher the skill level the better the skill will nullify pain.]

Oh, this is not too bad since I am afraid of pain as it is. I am guessing me stabbing myself earlier helped me gain this skill. But this also tells me that I can gain skills outside eating things.

<Thick Skin (Lvl 1)>

[Passive Skill that toughens the owner's skins from attacks. Provides some resistance from physical attacks. Currently provides 1% resistance to physical attacks. Skill will grow equally with level.]

Nice, so it's kinda like an armor for noobs right? This works out pretty well for me seeing how I have no armor at all. But I guess in order to level it I will need to allow things to hit me. At least I now have the <Pain Nullification (Lvl 1)> and my health basically regenerates instantly so I have no issues there as long as I try to level it with lower leveled monsters. But I also got a new title...

{Tormentor}

[Title given to those who torment defenseless creatures and monsters. Title grants Living Hell series.]

What!? I did no such thing!? When did I torment anything that was defenseless!? Huh? I tormented the slime? How is that a defenseless creature or monster!? If it wasn't for the fact that I have <High Speed Regeneration (MAX)> I could have died to it! There is something seriously wrong with this system. Anyway! Let me see what this <Living Hell> Series is all about.

<Living Hell>

[A series of 3 attack spells and 1 passive skill. Grants skills <Nightmare (Max)>, <Flames Of Hell (Max)>, <Purgatory (Max)>. Grants passive skill <Chains Of Dominance (Max)> ]

These are some very scary names for skills and they are all max level on top of that. Sigh… Let me just see what these skills are.

<Nightmare (Max)>

[A mental attack that will put the target into a dreamlike state where they will have nightmares about the things they fear the most. Cost -100 MP per second.]

That really is a scary ability but it seems like I will not be able to use it any time soon. The MP cost is way too much!

<Flames Of Hell (Max)>

[Attack skill that engulfs the target in flames born straight from hell. Cost -500 Mp to cast and deals -200 Hp per second.]

<Purgatory (Max)>

[Area of effect skill that opens a portal to purgatory under the feet of targets in the area. Targets will spend ten seconds inside purgatory being tormented. Cost -1 MP per second for ten seconds. Deals -100HP per second.]

Err…. Isn't this like an extremely OP skill!? If I see a monster I can just use this skill and kill everything with 1k HP and lower with one use and with my current MP, I can already use it twice! Good, good. I will keep this skill as a last resort just in case. As for this last skill…

<Chains Of Dominance (Max)>

[passive skill that wraps the body in Dominance Chains that can be used as a weapon as well as defense. Gain extra experience with every monster dominated by the chains. Damage -150 per hit. Ten Experience per monster.]

Only after reading the information did I realize I had long Chains around my wrist and a shorter one around my neck. Why does this sound like something out of an S&M video… Well, I guess it's not all that bad. It means I can kill monsters in basically a cheat like fashion. Why are you all looking at me like that!? Why are you all slowly backing away as if I was some kind of disease!? Just so you all know I am not into that whole S&M thing okay! At least now I can do some leveling while I search for water.

Before I left I decided to test out the chains. And I have to say, they are pretty amazing. One swing and I can take out as many slimes as I hit. I did test, to see if my skills would go up if I had a bunch hitting me at the same time. Luckily I was able to get it both <Pain Nullification (Lvl 2)> and <Thick Skin (Lvl 2)> to level 2. It seems only skills gained from <Gluttony (Lvl 1)> can not be upgraded by using the same objects.

Since these two skills are raised a bit I was quite happy. But I still have to find a water source quickly or I might die! I keep getting sidetrack with all the messages in my head but I really do need to get going now. So with my mind made up I decided to go back to searching for water!
