YM778.TV Chapter 10 - 10
"My friend... You got really weird and scary..." Nero mumbled while examining the Primal Slime.
When alone in the forest, Nero was still cautious. She didn\'t want to be careless and found herself off guard. Scanning for any living beings nearby, she took an orange from the inventory. She didn\'t have a knife and of course she wouldn\'t eat it with the peel. Using her nails, she started peeling the orange and to her surprise, her nails were very strong and sharp.
Once it had been fully peeled, she started to eat the orange. The sweet taste spread in her mouth, she sucked on it, and savored each small bite.
\'Mm~ Very tasty~\' Nero was absolutely delighted with the taste of the orange. She was on an empty stomach after she had thrown up. Not satisfied with just one orange, she ate three more oranges. In addition to quenching her hunger, Nero also managed to quench her thirst from the oranges.
Laying alongside the red-thief\'s body was a sword, dagger, and rectangular card the size of an identity card. Taking the card in her hand, shaking it to remove the slime residue left, she saw where it was written [Hunter Card] at the top, and below it had more details.

\'Mm ... So this is a [Hunter Card] with information from the red-haired thief. In fact, my attributes are superior to him.\' Nero didn\'t know if this card would be useful, but she kept it in her inventory. She kept the sword and dagger in the inventory as well.
Nero did not know whether that bald thief would return to this place or not, so she started walking, going deeper into the forest. When Nero spied a large tree with many leaves, she stopped walking.
Nero climbed the tree, leaving the Primal Slime on the ground near the tree\'s base. On top of the tree, staying as hidden as possible, she briefly closed her eyes, wanting to rest at least a little. It was a long night, and she was tired from fighting those two thieves.

Inside a cave formed of stone with the entrance closed by iron bars, a little girl with messy black hair was huddled in a ball as tears streamed from her eyes. Whenever drops dripped and fell on the cave floor, the little girl\'s body shuddered. She was scared and had no one she could trust.
However, things were going to go from bad to worse for her. A demon appeared in front of the cave and opened the iron grating. He pulled the little girl by the arms while saying in his sinister voice, devoid of any emotion, "Guinea pig number 0, the doctor is waiting for you."
The demon was very tall and strong, standing at 220 cm tall. The little girl was carried off by force by this red-skinned demon who had two ox horns on his head. It was as easy for him to carry her as it was to carry a bag of rice.
The girl struggled, but with her miniscule strength, she was unable to make the demon move a single muscle. It was too him as if a tiny gnat was biting at him. She found herself being taken from the underground cave she was in and climbing steps made of stones. It was at the end of the stone stairs that they passed through a large iron door. The girl closed her big eyes briefly when she was attacked by the sudden light beyond the doorway, but it was not the light of the sun, rather on the contrary, white lights that came from mana stones.
The entire place where the little girl was now was surrounded by white from the color that made up the flooring to the color of the corridor wall. She was forcefully carried by the demon down the hall and along the way she saw many things to turn her stomach. If she hadn\'t been starved, she would have vomited right away.
Inside rooms that had doors open, there were living or already dead beings inside large glass preservation canisters. Everyone was disfigured, mixed up with parts of animals. It was a horrendous scene. The demon didn\'t seem to care what she saw and continued to carry the little girl down the hallway.
When they entered another corridor, the little girl already felt lost. Everything looked the same, but the most frightening thing was to see what they did to other people, including children. She was just a child, but that didn\'t mean she couldn\'t imagine that it was something done by someone evil, which made her cry out in fear.
"Be quiet," The demon said in his sinister voice, devoid of any emotion, "If you continue to cry and irritate the new doctor, it will only make things worse for you."

"Ahhh!"
Nero wakes up scared, causing her to lose balance and fall off of the tree.
*Thud!*
When her body fell to the floor, her shoulder was dislocated. Nero groaned in pain; she sat on the ground and didn\'t know how to set the dislocated shoulder back in place.

Nero didn\'t have time to worry about the pain, as she saw a new holographic screen in front of her and felt her pain stop.
*Clack!*
The sound of her shoulder returning to the place resonated, and she opened her eyes wide in a cutesy way, surprised by what just happened.
\'Since when did I have this passive ability?\' She didn\'t remember seeing this skill on the skills page. Just to confirm, she opened the holographic skills page.

\'Ahh, so that\'s it. I thought before because I didn\'t see any skills right below that I didn\'t have any passive skills...\' Nero felt ashamed for not having noticed this before.. She should at least have tried to click on it and see the result.
