A pink light was emitting on the stone plaza. Dozens of eyes watched such light with a happy expression. This kingdom hadnt had a visitor for far too long. A visitor who would be their hope. Their Savior.
Sila slowly opened his eyes. This place was quite dimd. His eyes needed so ti to refocus.
This place is a big city made of stones. So stone is normal stone while so are illuminating, which caused the city to dimly brighten by itself.
Sila looked around and found that he was stared at by many eyes. However, the light was too dim for him to say which kind of creatures they were.
Sila tried to walk forward but his body couldnt move according to his will. Therefore, he attempted to contact to Lookhin using his mind.
Then, a giant bird appeared in front of him. Sila was shocked and tried to get away. But he still couldnt move. The bird approached and pecked at him lightly.
Lookhin? Sila pondered. Why do you get bigger?
Instead, its Big Brother that becos smaller.
A voice of a young girl could be heard from behind. Sila tried to turn his head but he still wasnt able to. He could only shoot a sideward glance at her.
The body in his line of sight wasnt a girl, but a pink sli with a pink ribbon on its back. This sli looked cuter than the sli Sila had t in Beginning Island.
My na is Bow. What is Big Brothers na?
Sila frowned. He just knew that sli could talk. It was not that he hadnt seen a talking monster before though. But that was a dragon.
My na is Sila.
Big Brother Sila co from an outside world, dont you? asked Bow.
Outside world?
Outside of Sli Kingdom, I ant.
Sila was finally able to have a good look at his surroundings. The eyes around him move closer and closer. They were all slis eyes. He was currently surrounded by slis varied in color and size.
Oh, yes, Im a player who got the sli race. I ca from the world outside.
There was a murmuring sound from these slis.
And, um, are you the one who slew Earth Dragon Python, and destroyed Seal of Earth? asked Bow.
Sila rembered that Python had ntioned sothing like that, so he answered. Yes. Im lucky to be able to do that though.
Silas answer caused the slis to cry out and show their delight expression.
Finally finally, we have hope. One of the slis said.
Quickly bring him to His Majesty. Another voice said. Then, many slis flocked around Sila.
Wait, dont, I can go by myself, replied Sila.
Big brother Sila. Are you able to move now? asked Bow.
Sila just realized. He couldnt move since he had co to Sli Kingdom.
Why am I unable to move?
You havent gotten used to it yet, I guess.
Get used to what?
Umm, you better see it yourself, replied Bow. She turned around and shouted Auntie March. Please.
Then, a big sli ca forward. Auntie March was a pink-color sli with a cooking hat on its head. She approached Sila.
Afterward, her color started fading away. The pink color turned into a transparent color but reflect light, like a mirror. Sila looked into it and then surprised.
The mirror didnt reflect his body but reflected a pink sli smaller than Bow. Its body was as small as an orange. Once Sila closed his left eye, the pink sli in the mirror also closed its eye too.
Wait, this is Sila panicked. Is that really him?
Welco to Sli Kingdom. A city of slis. Bow smiled.
With him unable to move, he was tossed onto Bows head and carried toward Sli King in the palace.
***
Palace isnt a suitable word describing this place. It was just a big building made entirely from illuminating stones. It shone brightly even at night.
Bow carried Sila inside the palace. There were slis in soldier equipnt looking at them but didnt block their way. Bow even said hello to them all the way.
Upon arriving at the hall of the palace, Bow then dropped Sila onto the ground.
Sila looked ahead. In front of him was an illuminating chair carved with decoration. There was a big golden sli with a crown on its head sitting on it.
Are you a newcor? said the golden sli.
Yes. Its my first ti arriving here, replied Sila.
You are the one who partly solves our Decolonize the Si Kingdom quest, am I correct? asked the Sli King.
Yes. I just got it by chance though. It wasnt my intention to do such task.
Are you also saying that you werent trying at all when slaying down the Earth Dragon? Dont be too modest. We have been waiting for you, said the Sli King.
Sila felt that there must be so kind of backstory. Actually, he had his suspicion since he had heard that slis nesis is dragon race while their abilities are so far apart. There were also so keywords that the Earth Dragon had ntioned: Decolonize the Sli Kingdom and the Sli Seals.
What has happened? Why is it a slis duty to kill the dragons? asked Sila.
Well, I think I should tell you a brief summary of whats happened. Long ago, we sli used to be one of the mightiest races in this New World. We were strong yet peaceful and not aggressive. These reasons had earned us respect and friendship from many other races.
However, these brought forth the disdainful from dragon race. Dragons are race hails in nobility, unlike us sli whom even a king sotis need to do groundworks. They believed it was a sha for them that we were equally respected as them. Therefore, they planned to get rid of us with the underhanded thod.
Why didnt they ask for a direct confrontation? asked Sila.
Thats because, if they tried to attack us head on, it would be hard for them to take us down. Even if they were to win, I dare say that their side would suffer so many damages, leaving them in a vulnerable position to be besieged by their other enemies.
The Eight Dragons asked and appointed us to participate in a sparring match held in our Sli Kingdom. Since they are noble guests, we then did our best to prepare for their arrival. Our people had all been gathered into the sparring arena.
Nevertheless, once the appointed ti arrived, we then found out that all eight dragons had been surrounding us and perford their sacred and secret ritual: Dinsional Draconic Seal to trap us within. It caused us to be trapped forever in this place without being able to see the actual sunlight. We found out later that for this seal to be broken, us sli needs to prove that we are superior to the eight dragons.
Unfortunately, as all slis were gathered together here, including and three Sli Guardians, we have no hope to perform such task. We realize that we need to leave it for people outside to do so. Thats why we have been investing our power to increase the drop rate of Sli Card in an outside world. I also make sure that the sli outside is easy to die so that people can easily change their race into ours. However, we have waited for so long but there isnt any hope until you, whom successfully hunt down the Earth Dragon, appeared and finally destroyed Seal of Earth for the first ti, said the Sli King.
Obviously to Sila, Sli Kings plan was completely backfired. The result was contrary to what he expects to. With players recognizing sli as the weakest creature and obtaining its card in bulk, the value of sli race drops trendously. No one would want to change into such trash race.
Well, Should I go back and tell people the truth? I think people didnt change into the sli race because they didnt understand your intention, suggested Sila.
The Sli King shook its body. No, its who is at fault. Quality is over quantity. Just you alone is enough.
The Sli King closed its eyes. Its body was slightly glowing in golden color for a while.
What have you done, sir? asked Sila.
I collect the cards back. Theres no need for them to be easily obtained anymore, answered the Sli King.
Sila nodded in agreent. He actually didnt bother much by this. But for him who was playing as sli race, it was quite sad that players always litter Sli Card on the ground. Lowering its drop rate should be for the best.
Well, I dont have much ti so please pardon my leave, said Sila.
Is that so? But are you able to move already? the Sli King smiled.
Sila frowned. That was true. He still couldnt move his body. If he needed to be in this form in the kingdom, it would be a nuisance for him having to rely on Bow carrying him to there and there.
How can I move, sir?
You just need to concentrate. People usually do things unconcentrated. But in a sli form, you need to be fully aware of what you are doing, comnted the Sli King.
Sila tried to concentrate and found that he was able to move for a bit. But when his focus broken, his body turned stiff. He needed to fully concentrate on moving to be able to move. This is like performing physical therapy. He needed to focus on his walk to be able to walk.
Youre good. Being able to move quite well this fast, complinted the Sli King.
Thank you, so, I will take my leave now, Sila said his goodbye again.
Dont you co here for obtaining skills? asked the Sli King.
Oh yeah, I forgot about it. I once heard that I need to overco Way of Slis ordeal first.
Kuku. You can obtain all three skills right here and now. As for Way of Slis ordeal, you will have to overco it even if you dont want to.
I have to do it even if I dont want to? Sila felt curious. This ga usually gives player a freedom to do the quest. Why would this quest be the exception?
You should try to go back to an outside world, the Sli King said smilingly.
Sila opened his Item Window. There was a Return Scroll in it. Even if he didnt have a hand, he would be able to use it by voice command. Return!
Nothing happened. Return. Return. Return! He shouted continuously.
Nothing still happened. Sila turned his head to the Sli King.
As I have told you, Dinsional Draconic Seal prevent us all sli to go outside. That includes you, said the Sli King.
Sila frowned. Does that an I am stuck here forever until another sli wins against the eight dragons outside?
If thats true, it would spell big trouble for him.
Although its true that you are sli, youre just half-sli. Once you overco Way of Slis ordeal, you will be able to return to your original body and able to go back outside together with exclusive skills for sli race, explained the Sli King.
Sila sighed in relief. Is that so? Then, can I start now, sir?
Yeah. We all want to go to the outside world as much as you do. After this, I will give you three skills of the sli race. Then, you need to go to the Cliff of Heroes to overco Way of Slis ordeal. You can ask Bows for that places location. Under the cliff, you will face the trials from three Sli Guardians: Poluk, Viola, and Divine. You have to overco their trial with the sli-race skill to be able to successfully pass Way of Slis ordeal.
Once the Sli King finished speaking, his body was emitting a bright golden light.
A system sound alard.
You have learned a racial skill: Fluffy Sli.
You have learned a racial skill: Colorful Sli.
You have learned a racial skill: Transparent Sli.
You should go, said the Sli King.
Sila nodded by shaking his body up and down. Then, he was gliding slowly following Bow and went outside the palace.
Unbeknownst to him, his arrival to the Sli Kingdom caused the world of Monster Soul to experience slight changes.
First, sli at Beginning Island doesnt always drop card upon dying anymore. Sli Cards drop rate beco 0.01% which is equal to the drop rate of so Dragon Card.
Secondly, Sli Cards price was slowly increasing in both buying rate and selling rate. This is due to system correction that determines the cards value based on its rareness.
These two changes happened instantly upon Sila arriving the Sli Kingdom. However, as theyre slight changes that didnt directly affect players, no one was still aware of them.
