The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

The first thought that comes through her mind was, Is this a game? Am I dreaming right now? It makes a perfect sense for her to arrived at such conclusion since she founds it absurd the moment Sheila pulled a key out of thin air. Did she fall asleep right at that moment? But if this is a dream, then it is a perfect dream seeing how realistic it is from her sight, and Cilia could also tell how fresh the air is just by breathing.

She didn't know that the grass in the dream feels almost exactly like the real one; it was very smooth and little rough. And even when she pinches her thigh, she could feel a burning pain as if it was telling her that everything she experienced now is darn real. The lucid dream is terrific!

Now, who am I kidding?

Of course, she could feel pain in her thigh because it is real! Everything around her is real! Even the darn card that's showing the status like in RPG games is also real! Fuh, I need to take a deep breath and calm down as it is not the time for me to be panicking. I'm sure there's a way out somewhere.

After taking a few deep breaths, her beating heart starts to slow down until it rhythm back and forth like how it usually did. Once she has calmed down, she starts to look around, surveying her whole surrounding and try not to miss any single detail that she could gain to figure out a way to escape from this place.

She tried walking around in search of the water source, but after walking for a few hours, she was halt by something invisible in front of her. She tried touching it and could feel that there's an invisible wall that's stopping her from going far ahead, or perhaps this is the limit?

Because of how long she had walked around yet didn't find anything, she put her tired body to rest by sitting on the ground. Even while she sat, she was still warily watching her surrounding in case any sort of 'animal' come to attack her. But after watching around for a whole minute, she moves on to the card inside her pocket.

The card is colour in all blue and nothing is different aside from the fact that it's only a smooth blue card, and nothing sort of word was on it. But when she put her fingers on it while having thought about the status that was shown previously and suddenly a window screen appears and float in the air like those seen in sci-fi. There's no need to say what was written in the window. But she did notice something that stood out of them; Healer Class.

If this were a game, then she would be the type who heal while supporting the tank with the support magic. But if it becomes a real class, she would prefer it to be more of combat instead of support-type class. Maybe something like a magician? She doesn't like pain that much, so close-range combat is not in her choice list, and instead prefer a long-range one. A Ranger could make do even when she's not good with bow but Healer?

She had indeed been supporting Sheila up until now, no matter what it was, just like how a loving mom would do to their daughter. But that is that, while this is this. How is she going to get out of this place with a class like a Healer? By healing the whole area? Maybe she needs to treat some kind of monster who was injured in this place somewhere? In the first place, where the heck am I? Perhaps because she was kind of upset due to tiredness that she was thinking all those nonsense. It would be nice if there's water—

A window suddenly pops up from the card right in front of her face. She has forgotten that she was still holding onto the blue card.

『 inventory:

— A bottle of cold mineral water 』

"..."

Due to how thirsty she was, she didn't care about anything else but instead was trying hard to think of a way to bring out that bottle of water from the inventory. She holds onto the card while closing her eyes and imagining the bottle of cold mineral water inside the inventory materialising like in those anime that she once saw on TV.

And it was not really surprising, but the bottle did, in fact, emerge in front of her. She didn't do anything else but to quickly opened the cap and drank it down her throat like a thirsty man in the desert who had just found a lake and ran to like a madman. When she was done drinking, the bottle was all empty.

She wipes the leftover water on her lips before pushing the empty water bottle into the inventory, and it was sucked in just as she had expected. Now that was done filling her thirst; her brain was finally working as she starts to get worried. She shouldn't have finish drinking it all in one go and save some for later, but she just couldn't help herself. It was not her fault that she was so thirsty for all the walk she had done.

She starts to look for any kind of 'secret' function inside the card that could summon up free water and food for her. But it wasn't like a particular robot who has everything in its small pocket. But she did found something on the status page; she noticed an exclamation mark beside her name and level. It was not there before, or maybe she didn't look closer and disregard it altogether. She was panicking at the time, after all.

She didn't know how to click on it and just imagined herself moving the mouse to click on it; a small page appears, overlapping the status page. The content on the new page was,

『 Quest(!) 』

So, there is a quest, after all. Cilia are starting to think that whoever behind all the thing that she had experienced in this place must have loved the classic old RPG. If there's a quest, then there must be a way for her to exit from this place. Maybe she needs to clear the quest to exit? With the newfound hope, Ria used her invisible mouse and clicked on the quest, and a small window appears before her.

『 Slime Killer I 』

『 Kill the Slime (0/10)

Reward: 10 EXP 』

『 Do you wish to accept the quest? 』

        『 Yes/No 』

『 ALERT: If you accepted the quest, the monster would start appearing to the whole surrounding area, there will be no more safety zone! 』

That's nice of you to give me a head up, but it would be even better if you could let me leave this place without me having to do all these sorts of thing. I'm a healer, how do you expect a healer to kill a slime? And another thing, I got no weapon in hands, basically bare arm.

It's like I'm a poor naked girl in front of a group of horny perverts; I'm dead meat. Even if a slime was known for being the weakest monster among all fantasy creature, she doesn't look down upon them. There's also a game where the slime becomes a powerful boss. This is an impossible game for her, after all.

Maybe God had listened to her prayer when suddenly she noticed something getting closer to her when she was in despair as she looked up in the sky. She narrows her eyes, trying to see what the object falling from the sky was before her eyes turned wide open as she immediately jumped to the side as fast as she could while cursing back at the God.

Thump!

The sound of something sharp stabbing hard and right into the ground resound before her. In the place close to her previous spot stood a beautiful silver sword. If she hadn't moved from her spot, she would have been injured by it. At least look at the place before throwing down the sword at me! You almost got me there, you know! Do you want me to die, you bastard?! No—wait, maybe you did. Ria silently curses under her breath before slowly walking toward the sword.

Once she was closer, she didn't pick up the sword immediately but instead stare at it. She was worried that the sword might be cursed, it was not her fault for thinking like that since the Otaku Sheila influenced her with Otaku culture.

It was long ago; Sheila used to watch anime after she was done playing her games until late night which was why she ended up not doing her homework at all. No matter how many times she lectured Sheila, she always ended up forgetting it right after she gets home. Cilia didn't know how that brain of Sheila works at all. But these days, she seemed to be doing well as her result was pretty high compared to the old her. Did that hopeless girl finally listen to my words? I hope so; Ria thought in her mind while she was staring at the sword.

Finally, having gathered enough courage, Cilia put her both hands on the handle of the sword and gripped it hard to feel the weight of it before pulling it out slowly from the ground. Cilia have equipped Silver Sword! If this was a game that notification would have shown up by now. While she held the sword in one hand and the other holding onto the blue card, a new page appears.

『 Silver Sword 』

『 Grade: F

A standard steel sword that is coated with silver to make it pretty.

+2 Strength +1 Attack Power』

"...It's a weapon, right?"

『 Cilia LV.1 』(!)

—LUCK: 20 AP: 0 』

With the silver sword in hands, it might be possible for her to kill the slime and leave this damn place. She didn't know how to wield a sword properly, but what do you expect from a modern girl like her? It would be a miracle if she could put a fight on her own. Without waiting further, she accepts the quest.

『 You have accepted the quest. 』

『 The monster will be spawned in 3.2..1. 』

『 You can't exit the Trial Tower before completing the quest! 』
