Chapter 18: My new OP skills (1)

Hahaha, I never I would find these skills in a slime of all creatures. Is my luck very high or what?

I was only curious about what skills a slime core can give me but these are the definition of OP. It even has the skill that I was hoping to find a monster that possesses this skill but I never thought that I would find such a skill in the core of a slime.

When I read the description of my physique, there was a mention of Devour Skill, which can work well with my physique. At first, I didn’t understand it but when I entered the forest, I understood it perfectly.

My physique can extract attributes perfectly from the food or any material that I can consume but I can’t swallow everything.

The first monster I faced in the forest was a goblin. The only useful thing from that creature is the magic core. Except for that, the body of goblins is not useful, so they were left to decompose naturally or serve as food for other creatures.

I too discarded them because I can’t consume them, but now I don’t need to.

Using the Devour Skill, I can directly extract the attributes from a corpse and into myself. I can use this skill on monsters that I can’t consume or carry on due to space restrictions. It’s not like I have infinite space storage, so I can’t carry every creature that I slaughtered. I need to carry what I want and have to leave the unwanted in the forest.

Now, there is no need. I can use the skill and get the benefits I get from my physique.

Hmm, I wonder if I can devour other materials like ores and other things. I should test them out later. First, let’s get this skill and later there is the ritual that I need to perform. They are the first priority. I can experiment later.

As soon as I got the slime core into my hands, my physique activated and showed me a bunch of skills that I could get.

[Detected Monster Core…Devourer Physique activated.]

[Please select if you want EXP or Skills.]

“Skills”, I chose.

[Detected skills: Devour, Fusion, Split, Bounce, Water Ball, Acid Spray…]

There are many skills that are helpful but I decisively chose Devour, as this is the most useful skill to me at this time. Also, I am not sure that every slime would have this skill. I mean the grade pretty much speaks that it was a rare skill.

Devour (EX): This skill is used to devour anything in the world. You can easily absorb any item in the world and make it beneficial to you. This skill works better for creatures that have a Devourer Physique or Trait.

Hmm, the slimes have such powerful skills, I wonder why no one uses their cores to absorb the skills. I should check the database.

Are there any side effects? I should have checked them before I absorbed the core and got the skill.

I immediately checked on the database about the reason behind this. I mean they offer such powerful skills. No one would say no to them. There should be a reason why no one has absorbed slime cores. I mean with skills like that, the cores would be sold at a premium but the cost is very cheap.

—-

Hmm, what the hell?

It says that humans can’t get skills from slime cores, but I just absorbed the core and obtained a skill !!!

The database says that in addition to slime cores, there are a few monster cores that humans can’t absorb. No one knows the reason behind that but this was how the world worked since magic and monsters existed in the world.

Many theorized that these are World Restrictions on humans and it was not just to humans that these restrictions apply. Every race has different restrictions. Some are known and some are unknown. Even then it was said that every race has a few restrictions upon them.

These are not problematic for these races. They can level up, break through ranks and reach higher realms, live a long life. The cores though can’t be absorbed, they can still be used in equipment production. So there were no losses for humans.

—

Hmm, if there are restrictions, why didn’t they apply to me? Is it because of my physique?

Is that a one-time offer? Would I not get new skills if I absorb the slime cores?

There is a chance that I can’t absorb and obtain skills from those other monsters that were mentioned here.

I can check the slime core theory here and now, as I have a few more than I need for the ritual. I should verify this, the ritual can take a few minutes. As for the other monsters, I’ll find out about them when I come across those monsters or their cores in the future.

There is too much that I don’t know in this world. I think no one knows everything about this world. Even after thousands of years, there are so many things that one can learn new.

Knowing everything about the world would be impossible, but I need to understand everything about myself as soon as possible. I need to understand what my limit is and whether I can cross that limit or not.
