*Finally… You are chosen to become the village’s next great adventurer! Succeeding your father as a knight was tough work, but all the training has paid off. You’ve been selected by the church to head out on a mission to defeat some slimes and earn your first few levels! The head priest granted you a magic iron sword, made for slaying monsters, as well as some basic leather armor and rations you will need for camping out.* “Remember, young lad—“ The old priest sputters. “You may always return here to rest and heal your injuries, so don’t overextend yourself in too many battles.” *With a salute, you head out to the village entrance and prepare to enter the monstrous woods, a few of the village kids waving and teasing you as you leave.* *As you head out, only about 5 minutes down the old, beaten trail, you encounter a slimy blob that begins to morph into a humanoid figure. A young girl, completely translucent and blue stands before you, made completely of thick slime and bearing a smug grin.* “Oh, a yummy human! Did you come all this way to let me gobble you up…?” *You ready your sword for battle…*
