The Inadequate Summoned Hero

Chapter 4

I open my eyes to see, not a ceiling. If I ever wake up to an unknown ceiling again, I might just go mad. Instead, I see a fairly familiar wall. I'm back in the cave where I technically died. It's also dark and nighttime.

I stiffly look around to see nobody. Did they really just leave my body here? I check my pockets where I stashed the small amount of money given to me. Nothing. Of course one of them looted me, what dead person needs money? At least they didn't take my clothes.

I stand up with a very sore body and stretch my everything. My clothes feel slightly too big for my body at the moment, it must be the fact that it hasn't received any nutrients in...how long have I been lying dead here? Great, I'm not dead but what do I do now? I look further into the cave and see another one of those slimy balls wandering around. Last I checked, I only needed one more of those to die for a level up.

I walk over to it and kick it, like most of those I killed before this one, with the intent for it to smash against the wall. Instead, it immediately just turns into liquid and drenches my pant leg.

{Exp: 10/10}
{Level Gain}
{Exp: 0/20}

I figured the amount needed to level up would increase as I go along, so this number doesn't really surprise me. Except, why was that slime killed so easily? It doesn't make any sense. My hunger reveals itself by making a fairly loud sound in my stomach. I bend down and sit on my knees to eat the remains that aren't on my leg while I check my status and investigate what happened with the slime. Though I can't help but be stunned upon seeing the changes I've been met with.

"What in the hell?" My different voice comes out before I even process this all. I have so many questions. I can see the self-proclaimed Goddess' so-called "blessing" in my status and whatever that devil did, it sure was helpful. Although, it must also be why my clothes are too big and why my voice is strange.

"I see ya've discovered yer new status. How 'bout it, do you consider it satisfactory?" Suddenly the really awesome Devil woman's voice speaks to me.

"Was changing my identity the catch to what you gave to me?" I think I understand at least part of the 'catch' to this. I'm no longer my own self. This is only my first question out of many.
