"Huh"

The hobgoblin woke up with Vice sitting across him

"Listen you dumb fuck" Vice pointed the dagger at his neck "if you make any dumb jokes like that again you'll permanently going to sleep"

"Now what I want from you is a place to stay until those slimes stop running wild" then he leaned back into the sit "once you guys beat those slimes I'll leave this place and never come back"

"Your not a slime?" The hobgoblins mouth slacked as he looked at Vice

"No, I'm just trying to survive that's why I'm here" Vice sighed while the hobgoblin looked down at his knees

"Once I help you hide you won't make any trouble in the city?" he turned to Vice

"Of course" he kept staring down as Vice pulled the dagger away

Cold air flowed in the car as the hobgoblin opened the door, Vice didn't bother to look at the hobgoblin, he had a faith in his acting skill

'I have to return to the dungeon before this damn class starts eating my stats' he sat their remembering the view of the city 'reaching that building is going to be difficult'

'I'll ask the slimes for help' cold air entered the car as the car door opened again

"Take this" the hobgoblin with a black shirt stood at the door reaching out a hand with a black ski musk, Vice took the mask and put it on to ease the hobgoblin

"Follow me" the hobgoblin looked around the pavement shaded by the double story building that had a sign that barely light up at the door

He stepped on the uneven sidewalk with grass growing through the cracks not noticing that Vice had vanished as he entered the building

"Hi" the receptionist greeted him and he waved as he dashed for the stairs down the dim corridor

His heart raced at every step but the memories of his wife kept him going, he couldn't afford to leave his pregnant wife alone in the world

And with Vice promising to stay in his room and not cause any trouble the guilt he had in his heart seemed to lessen as he betrayed his city

He walked down the hallway on the second floor that had a musty smell, he reached the last door on the floor and took out the keys as he stood in front of the door with peeled paint

His eyes widen as he looked back the hallway, he put the key back in his pocket then

His spine shivered as he felt a hand on his shoulder, he stood there frozen momentarily then turned to the door

He put the keys in the lock and pushed the door that creaked as it opened, he stepped on the cheap carpet in the room

He closed the door that had multiple locks then felt a sting on it neck and a liquid flowing down his neck

He grabbed his neck and looked at his hand, his eyes widen looking at blood on his hand while Vice smiled leaning against the wall with bubbling moldy wallpaper

"Why?" He grabbed his neck slowing down the blood as he turned to Vice

He shrugged "why not? Its not personal its just whats necessary for my safety and plans"

"Kurk"

Blood flowed out of his mouth, he looked to the door as world turned blurry, using all the strength he had had grabbed the handle remembering all the plans he made with his wife for the child

"Im sorry honey" his hand slipped off the handle as he fell to the ground bleeding to death

Vice smile vanished as he received the notification, he sighed and walked to the body

It vanished as he touched it then two green portal appeared, Vice looked at the timer and walked to into one of the portals

He reappeared in a place with shimmering jelly like blobs while others had humanoid goeey forms

"Are you done?" A red blob spoke standing in his way as he tried to walk to the last tent remain in the dirt clearing

"I'm in the city but I'll need help with reaching that goblin" Vice spoke as the wind rustled through leaves in the dark

"What kind of help?" It spoke

"I'll need some of you to turn into a hobgoblin and an ogre" Utal body and the hodgoblin body appeared in front of Vice

"We will take the ogre because its C-Rank and it seem it has potential to grow" it hopped to Utal body and Utals body dissolved in the slime as it grew in size

'What did it mean potential to grow?' Vice stepped back then the blob stopped expending and body condensed

Its slippery surface vanished replaced with muscular green skin, it had the size equal to Vice and a face identical to Utal

It crouched down and undressed the hobgoblin then it threw the body to the other slimes

"I thought that body was useless" Vice watched the slimes as absorb the hobgoblin body

"Skill wise yes but food wise its useful" it finished putting on the shirt "what now?"

A sleeping bag appeared in front of Vice and he enter it and glanced at the slime "Im going to sleep we'll leave when I wake up"

Vice closed his eyes as the leaves rustled and the slimes ate the hobgoblin body

While Vice was sleeping the slime took a branch from a tree and started to practice the techniques from Utal memories mixing them with it elven fighting techniques

In the end Utal fighting techniques were absorbed into the elven style, used to correct the flaws the slime didn't know about

But the greatest use of Utals body was the information it had after practicing, the slime turned into a red goeey humanoid and walked to the red tent that was barely standing

....

.

"Yawn"

Vice woke up, his body felt refreshed yet a little sluggish but it was a usual thing when waking up the sleeping bag vanished

"It seems your done" the red blob spoke as its size increased, Vice stretched while waiting for the slime to change forms

The slime turned back into an ogre with tight clothes on, it walked to Vice and grabbed his shoulder and in an instant they reappear in a room with a dusty couch with two portals floating in it
