Chapter 71—100th Loop
’100th loop... I hope it’s special,’ Slime#47 mused, feeling a little excited. He hoped the system or the Time God had left something.
He opened his eyes in Mama Slime’s warm hug as she cooed, "I am your Mama, child."
’As expected...’ He grinned as a notification flashed in his vision.
[ Ding! Your Will has improved to F+ ]
’I hit a century in deaths...’ he gave a bitter smile. After counting the single death from the Earth, he had officially died 100 times.

"Piercing Stone." Young Slime cast the spell as a brown magic rune flashed on his palm. From it, a brown stone the size of a human baby’s fist manifested in the world.
Boom!
He hurled it at the wooden fence, and the rock pierced straight through.
’It’s indeed sharp,’ he mused, as he had made the stone sharper.

"Finally... I have brought all basic element masteries to Tier One," he grinned, expecting a surprise in class and race evolutions.

He leveled up using the Mana Torrent Refinement Technique.

’+?...’ He was doubtful, so he glanced at Elder Slime, who was healing him with a Heal spell as he had been injured by the Mana Torrent Refinement Technique.
Slime#47 healed himself with Aura Recovery while his aura reserves had burned at a crazy rate. His injuries had turned into scars when his aura almost burnt up.
He then asked doubtfully, "Elder, I just leveled up, but in class options I got a class which isn’t common nor uncommon, but Common+?"
"Incredible... your effort paid off," Old Slime praised first, then explained, "Only at level 10 will common classes be unlocked, and only at level 50 will uncommon would be unlocked, and so on."
Young Slime focused fully, not wanting to miss a single detail.
"But... you have acquired the ability to possess a class of uncommon or more at mere level 10. Individuals with this kind of talent are rare, so to make them more powerful and special... the Voice of the World grants them ’+’ classes or races..." Elder Slime said with a slight smile.
"No empty promises... what are the actual benefits?" Slime#47 questioned without wasting a second.
He believed he wasn’t special or anything compared to those who got + classes or races. He had, after all, taken 99 loops to get it, while others didn’t have this kind of privilege.
Old Slime’s eyes twitched, "Tch! Unlike ordinary classes, you will get two skills every ten levels, and those + will evolve on their own until the end with incredible power, without needing the trouble to choose future classes and races."
"A growth type and more skills... good, very good," Young Slime grinned, his mouth widening into a broad smile.
"Most importantly, they use both aura and mana, granting power to go toe to toe with higher levels very easily," Elder Slime said in a playful tone.
"Both... of them?" Slime#47 exclaimed, since every class he’d found focused on either aura or mana, never both, only race had both of them.
"Did I tell you about how humans and some beings focus only on one energy?" Old Slime questioned, wanting to check his knowledge.
"Yes. Training aura and mana together is tough, so most beings give up one to increase the other reserves and focus only on that," Young Slime answered. He had long found this out in his previous loops.
Elder Slime nodded and commented, "Which is a very foolish choice."

’So many skills... no wonder it allows higher‑level battles,’ he muttered, with a broad smile.
He clicked on it to evolve.
[ Ding! Pick a safe spot to evolve! ]
[ Ding! You are evolving! ]
He blacked out instantly.

"I am multi‑colored," he said as he rubbed his soft body and glanced at himself in the trough.
He was still a regular-sized slime, except now his body blended five colors—purple, green, red, blue, and brown.
"But I’m still cute," he praised his own adorableness.
’I sense an enormous power hiding in me... I’ve never felt anything like this before,’ he mused. This felt nothing like when he was a Fire Slime, a Lightning Slime, or any other slime type.
"Next...time to test the skill combo." His eyes sharpened with hope.
Its power was the key to defeating those monsters!
