Chapter 3: Merging The Poisonous Slime!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the game ‘Divine Realm’, there were rules for summoning pets.
If one used ‘Instant Summoning’, the summoned pet would definitely have below normal attributes.
If one summoned through incantations, the summoned pet would have better quality.
The only drawback of the latter was that it would take some time.
Fortunately, Lorne was not in a hurry.
Compared to other players, he had the [Monster Merging Simulator]. As long as he spent more time on his pet, he would be able to make up for the difference in levels.
With his eyes closed, he recited the complete spell and began to draw the summoning magic circle.
Time slowly passed.
Five minutes later.
The summoning magic circle was completed.
A brilliant light arose, enveloping the entire magic circle.
At the same time, a ball of light appeared in the center of the magic circle.
It was a summoned pet!
“Ding!”
“Congratulations on summoning a Slime (Normal)!”
The system notification sounded.
It seemed that Lorne was not so lucky. This time, he only summoned an ordinary slime, no different from other players.
However, he did not mind the blob of sticky liquid.
He believed that as long as it was synthesized, the little guy would be useful.
Thinking, Lorne opened the pet panel.
————
[Slime] (Unnamed)
Quality: Normal
Level: 1
HP: 70 / 70
Physical Attack: 10-15
Defense: 5
Owner: Tyrant
Skill: [Healing]: Absorbs 3% of the damage taken and turns it into HP.

It was as humble as the rumors said.
As the most common low-level monster in the early stages of the game, the Slimes’ combat ability was really too low.
Especially when it was only level 1.
If not for the fact that the Summoner could summon three pets, he would not have been able to leave the village, much less kill monsters to level up.
Lorne bent down and touched the bouncing blue creature.
It was soft, like a water ball.
What could he create by using such a weak little thing?
If he used poison, it should be quite effective, right?
There was a plan forming in Lorne’s mind.
He was not in a hurry to leave, for there were still two slimes to be summoned.
Twenty minutes later.
Lorne left the area with the three soft blue creatures.
...
After crossing the street, Lorne arrived in front of the potion merchant.
He opened the trading panel.
There were only three types of potions in the beginner village: red, blue, and poison.
Needless to say, the first two were common potions in every game.
The final poison potion was prepared for the Assassin class players and to target Boss monsters. It had the effect of preventing monsters from healing.
[Red Potion] (Price: 5 bronze coins): Regenerates 60 HP immediately and 2 HP per second for 30 seconds.
[Blue Potion] (Price: 5 bronze coins): Regenerates 60 MP immediately and 2 MP per second for 30 seconds.
[Poison Potion] (Price: 10 bronze coins): Deals 2 points of damage per second to the target for 30 seconds and reduces their healing by 20%.
The poison potion was a little expensive.
But the potion was what Lorne had been looking forward to.
He quickly bought each of the three potions.
Then, he quickly entered the alley.
...
“The monster synthesis formula is a basic monster prototype with appropriate materials.”
“In that case, the monster prototype is the slime, and the material is this bottle of poison potion.”
Leaning against the thick wall, Lorne muttered, then activated his talent.
The next second, a special panel appeared in front of him with a system notification.
“A monster prototype and a material have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Slime) + (Poison Potion) = (???)”
“The cost is 20 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
The upper half of the panel was the synthesis formula, and the lower half was the cost of the attempt.
20 bronze coins was completely acceptable.
“Merge.”
Without hesitation, Lorne said with certainty.
In the next second, a complicated magic circle appeared under the slime’s feet. A pale blue light rose like a natural water screen.
The poison potion turned into a purple light and entered the slime’s body.
In the brilliant light, the slime’s appearance began to change.
Other than its slightly larger body, the most obvious part was its appearance. The slime’s entire body had turned purple-black. There were even purple-black flames surrounding its body.
Looking at it this way, one would think that it was a moving ball of poison, and that was true.
“Ding! Merging successful!”
“Congratulations on obtaining an Elite Monster—Poisonous Slime.”
————
[Poisonous Slime] (Unnamed)
Quality: Elite
Level: 1
HP: 210 / 210 (140↑)
Magic Attack: 30-60 (20-45↑)
Defense: 15 (10↑)
Superiority: 100%
Owner: Tyrant
Skill: [Healing]: Absorbs 3% of the damage taken and turns it into HP.
Skill: [Poison Spray]: Spits out a ball of poison that deals 140% magic damage to the target and reduces the target’s health by 2 points per second for 30 seconds. (Poison effect does not stack.)
————
“Superiority of 100%!”
Upon seeing the attributes, Lorne was pleasantly surprised.
Just as he had expected, the slime and the liquid did not reject each other. They merged perfectly.
100% superiority meant that the pet gained an additional 100% stats.
That was why the Poisonous Slime’s attributes were so terrifying. It had 210 HP and 30 basic magic attack. Even a normal level 3 monster would not be able to defeat this little fellow.
“If it fuses with the poison potion, it will have the poisonous attribute.”
“So if I use a red potion, will it become a mobile medical kit?”
Lorne rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
Thinking about it, he was a genius.
Even a low-level monster like slime could become a necessity in battle.
Unfortunately, pets that were synthesized could not be sold. Otherwise, the slime alone could make him a billionaire.
Shaking his head and smiling, Lorne began the process again.
“Ding!”
“A monster prototype and a material have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Slime) + (Red Potion) = (???)”
“The cost is 10 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
10 bronze coins?
It seemed that the higher the quality of the materials, the more expensive the cost of synthesis.
Lorne pondered and decided.
Then, the same scene appeared. A complicated magic circle enveloped the slime, and the red potion turned into light and poured into it.
This time, the slime turned completely fiery red. It looked like a beautiful and moving red gem.
