A thirty-year-old man stood in front of a company building.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD6v95HwRp
His hair was messy, dark circles hung beneath his eyes, and he looked utterly exhausted and unmotivated.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5dy1zgktv
His name was Aiden. He let out a heavy sigh.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcd6HemotN
He gave a bitter laugh, then began cursing the company. "I hope this damn company goes bankrupt! All of you can drop dead! I've devoted years to this place and worked my ass off, and what do I get in return?!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI5lwOtS09
He clicked his tongue, wanting to throw a rock at the company building. "Not only did I never get a promotion, but you kept piling more and more work on me! Fuck all of you!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJggD6RiDd
"Even now, you fire me without so much as a proper farewell! Piece-of-shit company, I hope this fucking place gets destroyed by a meteor!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqheSzD9P1P
Even though he was shouting, no one responded. The people passing by only glanced at him for a moment before continuing on their way.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1G2fpPUbw
Aiden let out another heavy sigh. He reached into his pocket, where only a small amount of money remained.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgmmPX9WPF
"How am I supposed to survive for a month when I only have enough money left for one day? My life really is nothing but bad luck!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FepL4rDGj
With his body slightly hunched over, he walked away.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKqMWBL24K
Aiden went home to a sparsely populated area. The house had been left to him by his parents, who had passed away a long time ago.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymswuCdVl
His hand gripped the doorknob, and when he opened the door... the doorknob came off.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAktqVyVm4W
This only made him even more frustrated. "I knew it. My life is nothing but bad luck."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdnnLfu5hA
While he was trying to figure out how to fix the door, his boastful and obnoxious neighbor peeked over.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnuyTQPF6t
The man wore a wide grin as he pulled along his beautiful girlfriend.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMoTRHkNyX
He pretended to cough. "Ahem! Ahem!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJkh4b7Lhu
Aiden fell silent for a few seconds. He already knew who this person was.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dL6Fn0CMY
He turned around with a blank expression. "What? Here to make fun of me again, bastard?!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu5zfenCRl
"Hahaha, look at him, darling. He's really hot-tempered, isn't he? Did you know he's single and has never even been close to a woman?"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSbi6H4Uo
Because of a small incident in the past, this neighbor had become like this.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALdUNZFNQk
Aiden let him keep rambling before throwing the doorknob he was holding.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVB6DWsi3
Luckily, it missed.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uu5XthebQ
He then kicked the door open and went inside. Aiden took off his work clothes.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbCS0DDyvL
He then picked up a VR device, which was his only source of entertainment at home.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopG2JDIET4
He had friends, but he wasn't particularly close to any of them, and he preferred being alone.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSovvoG6yw
"Maybe playing that newly released RPG for a while wouldn't hurt. After that, I'll look for a new job."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RMV0CFlE
Aiden put on his VR device. It was a newly released game that had become popular all over the world, with various features and, of course, an open-world concept. But strangely, the screen suddenly went dark for a moment, and Aiden's vision abruptly changed.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZKkGWOqU
"Hmm? Can't I choose a character based on what I want? Why did it start the game immediately?"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDMCe3aO1Y
Aiden was confused. He even felt that something was strange about his body.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0qvoBOmzO
The trees seemed much taller and larger, and he felt incredibly small.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyMdNfplcW
"Damn it! Did I become a dwarf? That short character I don't like. I hate those creatures."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUPxGWzEJT
When Aiden moved his hand, he saw a small blue hand without human fingers.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWcwovFTyB
Aiden's eyes widened. "T-this... Isn't this the slime's hand from this game?!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeupxnc3SO
Aiden struggled to move. He didn't have any legs.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x6kAoBg9O
"But this game is much more realistic than I expected. It even feels too real for a game."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5yZh383HK
Aiden was amazed. At least he wasn't too disappointed about not being able to choose his own character.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5fwW8HheP
With great difficulty, he began hopping around like most slimes did. But it turned out not to be easy.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMsUPwypH3
He repeatedly rolled over. "Hopping around doesn't seem very efficient. Maybe I can crawl."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7FsiORQH8
Aiden began moving. It felt difficult at first, but the longer he did it, the more skilled he became.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfER5KmVKe
"Hahaha, not bad. I'm pretty good at playing games like this."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAav1m9A8cj
Ding!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxcXEw2Yg1
[Adaptation skill acquired! The longer you strive or endure, the faster you will adapt.]
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV7tnz46gU
Looking at the system screen, Aiden smiled happily. "So slimes can have an adaptation skill too. This will make leveling up much easier."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWmTN9Okg
Aiden also checked the statistics on his system screen.

"Slime King! Isn't that a rare race?" Aiden burst into laughter. "Rare means advantageous, and I can use that advantage to farm like crazy and make money! If things go like this, I won't need to look for a job. I'll just become a gamer."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7miACY3PE
As he was enjoying himself, a pair of eyes watched him from behind the trees.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYBJkLpY7J
Its teeth were sharp, and its eyes were feral and red. Aiden fell silent as he felt that terrifying gaze.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRVjUbztG5
Ding!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGDL9KUvBf
[Danger! You are in danger!]
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp2sdnzgV9
[Detecting enemy... Enemy level is one level higher than yours.]
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iLxaPkBSm
His body trembled. "E-even the fear feels completely real. T-this really is a game that's way too realistic."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzmOR94Pcu
When he turned around, a wolf was already standing behind him, its drool dripping onto Aiden's slime head.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcIYcRBMPf
The wolf looked extremely hungry. It saw Aiden as easy prey.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjm65In4Za
Aiden slowly backed away. "S-stay calm, good boy. I'll give you a rewar—"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEPjiDhIlS
Before he could finish speaking, the wolf pounced, biting into Aiden's slime body and tearing it apart.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZEAHyKgSN
Aiden screamed. "Aaargh! Logout! Please let me logout! Why is the pain real too, you damn developers?!!!"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD1db0pfBM

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9T7GVaDXW
Aiden was shocked. It had hurt at first, but the pain had already subsided.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bh0GAH12w
"Why isn't this wolf dealing any damage?" Aiden gave a sly smile. "Hahaha! I knew it. A rare race really is different."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncsQt3oB3w
The wolf shook its head violently, slamming it against Aiden's body. Unfortunately, a slime's body was elastic.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zrz3br5Du
Aiden then changed the shape of his body, slowly absorbing the wolf's body.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxLaUJbi9Q
The wolf realized that it had chosen the wrong opponent. It struggled desperately to escape.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUWZNmrKwD
"Hahaha, take this, stupid wolf! You picked the wrong opponent. From now on, you'll become my EXP."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QVjoWQh75
The wolf's body was swallowed into Aiden's body. Before it was completely absorbed, it let out a roar.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1D75tTj4g
Ding!
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFptAywIZs
[Prey devoured successfully! It will take one day to digest the wolf's body.]
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LrlJUFIl
Aiden was shocked once again. "Even digestion takes time. So I'll get the EXP after one day?"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVgz7pwSpA
He thought for a moment. "Ah, maybe one day here is ten minutes or an hour at most. I'd better just continue playing."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n2b5lIZFH
With a bright smile, Aiden moved forward, completely unaware that his real body had already died because his VR device had suddenly malfunctioned and sent an electric shock through his head, instantly killing his brain.
