It was a black ball of slime. It seemed to contain some bubbles. They were moving from down to up like but without the bubbles popping on the top. Was this thing alive? Radley tried scanning it but got nothing so he asked Diff, "Diff, what is this? Is it even alive?""Insufficient information. Not on the database. Biological activity suggests an altered circulatory system. A complex system of neural activity also found. Possibly a being that consists of billions of microbial organisms working in harmony."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Insufficient information. Please touch the specimen to find out more. No toxins discovered."
Hopefully, this creature won"t eat him like most of the slimes in fantasy stories and games. The black coloring did send him warning bells but his curiosity was getting the better of him.
"No guts no glory." He touched it. Radley noticed the creature wasn"t doing anything. Diff chimed up, "a.n.a.lysis complete. It seems to be a rare species that isn"t on the database. Its properties are similar to plankton. It uses the sun"s rays as well as the moisture to cultivate energy. It seems to have properties similar to that of humans via the fact that this creature can invigorate."
"Wait, you don"t think that this is the essence born from a dead human."
"This system retracts his words from before where it said you were no fool. You are a fool."
Radley scowled at the system even though he wasn"t sure where it came from, "You are very funny Diff, hha."
"This system tries."
"Does the user wish to pair-bond with the slime?"
"Huh? What do you mean pair-bond?"
"This system can allow a connection with each other and form a partnership."
"You can do that?"
"It seems to be viable with this species."
"Okay...uuhm…go ahead."
"Link established."
A popup came up. Achievement achieved: My first partner. No Invo points, +5 Diff points.
The creature came alive and jumped onto his shoulder. Radley looked at it and asked, "So what does it do?"

Diff remain quiet, "h.e.l.lo! Diff to earth?"
"a.n.a.lysing question. Response: No viable answer."
"Well, that was useless."
He went down to where the meat was still cooking. He looked at the dead, skinless carca.s.s and pondered. Why would that creature want to protect this thing so ferociously?
Radley cut off a piece of meat and ate it. It was rather bland. He should have bought some spices.
He offered the remaining piece to his little slime friend. To his surprise, the creature ate it and suddenly transformed. It looked like a cute little hyper lizard who was actually waving its tail like a dog. Diff chimed up, "It took on the properties of the creature you fed it. It includes a spine shot as well as a poisonous bite."
It was pitch-black but looked almost exactly like the creature he killed. What an unusual species. The creature popped onto his Radley"s lap and snuggled in. It made him smile for a bit. When was the last time he got this level of attention, "I think I am going to call you Blobby."
He rubbed the creature on its head, "h.e.l.lo there Blobby, my name is Radley."
The little lizard looked at him and slightly twisted his head and placed his back to what it was. Radley decided to give him a scan. Blobby. The name made Radley laugh. It actually showed up as Blobby. Lv.1. He actually gained a level. Cool. The experience was the bit that caught him of guard. It was one thing to see his experience total but the amount was exactly the same as his. Invo points 6006/7000. Whaaaat… Nature Absolute Loyalty to the user. That sounded almost dangerous. It was pretty much self-sufficient and it took on the properties of the creatures it ate.
Diff chimed up, "Creature can currently only take on the properties of one creature given its current level. If the user wishes to change the creature into something else the user will replace it with the next iteration."
Catch 24. Now he just needed to figure out how responsive this creature was, "Hey Blobby attack that tree with your spines." He pointed towards the tree. The creature responded immediately and shot and shot two baby spines. Radley was impressed.
Some shuffling caught his attention as a ma.s.sive tiger looking creature appeared in the opening. Its fur was blue with black stripes and had slight bioluminescence coming from it and bright piercing yellow eyes. It also had a punk-like mane running along its back and some spikes on its tail, but it seemed to care little for Radley and went to the carca.s.s and started eating it. Lv.9 Hyacinthum Hinnitum Lazy nature.
It seemed that this creature was perhaps a scavenger? It seemed the fire didn"t particularly scare it off. It might have been actually attracted by it.
Radley shrugged if the creature kept to itself then Radley couldn"t be bothered less, and even if worst comes to worst he would just use the trees and hide between the roots. He wasn"t in the position to fight any creature. It also seemed like little Blobby didn"t care much for the creature"s presence, "Diff, what are the chances that that thing will attack us?"
"While the odds are low, it is still a creature of the land. There is always a risk of anything attacking the user."
"Wait, even Blobby?"
"The creature the user refers to as "Blobby" has been bonded to you. It won"t attack even if it tried."
Radley just sat closer to the tree roots just in case. He studied the beast. The bright sky blue color looked amazing. He wondered it in time he should change blobby to that. The creature suddenly stood up and walked away. Radley relaxed a little bit and went back to the fire, and started eating more of the meat. He decided he needed shelter for the night. The old man was right. The mist was dangerous and if he wasn"t careful he could make things really bad for himself. He would wait until the next morning until his arm was repaired. He sat there looking at the fire while little Blobby was relaxing in his lap. Man, he was bored.
