In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Well, he said he could accept all of this; at least he still looked like a human being, not some weird and strange contraption.

Small is fine, he roughly estimated his size to be about the size of a palm.

Being an ice sprite has some advantages, such as being able to control the pair of transparent little wings on his back.

He could move slightly in the air, which was equivalent to him gaining the ability to fly. He tried it skillfully and indeed spun around several times as if he could not feel any weight on his body.

Curious, he approached the blue-glowing crystal he had just seen and examined it closely, looking it up and down at the mirror-like surface reflecting off its smooth surface.

"Wow, this is really beautiful."

The mirror reflected Li Qing's current appearance, with blue hair and a pair of pointed ears representing the elven race.

After admiring it, he became curious about the crystal again.

"[Dominator] Do you know what kind of ore this is?"

"Your host can extract the data to the resource library for analysis."

"How do I extract it?"

Li Qing tried placing his hand on the crystal, and it worked; a sound came through.

"Unknown ore detected. Would you like to extract it?"

"extract."

Without hesitation, he spoke up directly.

"Extraction successful," followed by a success message.

Li Qing could see a piece of ore lying in his inventory.

So that's how the resource library is used.

"[The Overlord] analyzes the ore."

"Announcement, parsing successful."

"【Magic Crystal Ore】A ore that mutates in areas with high magic concentration. As a crafting material, it has a chance to grant the 【Physical Resistance】 and 【Magic Boost】 properties."

"Huh? [Dominator] What is magic? This world isn't some kind of magic world, is it?!"

Yes, that's right.

"Magic is..."

Wait!

Why does this sound so familiar? It sounds a bit like an anime he watched in college.

He spotted a strange patch of grass growing not far away, quickly flew over, and touched the grass.

"Extract and parse [The Overlord]."

"【Fipokot Grass】only grows in places with high magic content. As a crafting material, it has the potential to grant the 【Magic Recovery】 and 【Wound Healing】 properties."

After the initial shock, he understood.

Isn't this the anime he watched in his previous life? He had a deep impression of that anime.

So what do you mean?

I've actually been reincarnated into the world of Rimuru?

No wonder the word "reincarnated" sounded so familiar to him. He knew that Rimuru was also a reincarnated person, and a super overpowered one at that.

Compared to this giant cheat in the same world, he said the pressure was immense.

Why not just go and beg for help? Besides, could this cave be the place where the Storm Dragon is sealed?

He squinted slightly, while touching his pointed chin.

I organized my thoughts

At least now he's figured out that the world he's in is the same world he saw in his previous life, the world of Rimuru. But most importantly, he knows the plot of this world, which is his advantage.

Judging from this situation, the Storm Dragon probably hasn't been swallowed by Rimuru yet.

This is an opportunity! If I could get the chance to be named after the Storm Dragon Veldora, one of the top-ranked creatures in this world, I would be set for life.

If you want to do it, then do it. But where is the Storm Dragon's seal located?

amount

I should improve my own strength first, there are quite a lot of monsters in this place.

Looking at his status information panel, he could only use a few racial skills.

As an ice sprite, it's not surprising that I naturally possess these skills.

These are the [Ice Element Control] trait and some skills like [Ice Blade], [Ice Spike], [Frost Breath], etc.

Looking further down, and then

When Li Qing saw the skill information for the [Raider], his eyes lit up.

"Huh, another rare skill? Wow, isn't this a god-tier skill?"

Li Qing clicked on the details of this rare skill.

"【Raider】If the Raider uses the Raid skill on the target it hunts, it can learn the target's skills."

This unique skill is almost on par with Rimuru's Predator; it's practically a god-tier skill for him.

Li Qing was still worried about how to improve his strength, but with the [Raider], he could improve his strength in a very short time.

...

For a while afterward, Li Qing spent his time fighting monsters and practicing his skills.

"Magic Perception"

He used [Magic Perception] to sense the magical aura of the monster opposite him.

With only C+ level strength, I can barely say I'm at least B level.

(Note: Monster strength is ranked from high to low, A+ to C for reference)

Li Qing could tell that the giant spider monster in front of him didn't seem to have very high magical power, so he should be able to kill it.

Ice spikes

Several long spears made of condensed ice slowly formed in the air and shot rapidly toward the monster in front of them.

"Pfft, pfft"

Unsurprisingly, the giant spider monster was pierced through by several ice spikes and was dead beyond any doubt.

"Host has successfully hunted a C+ level giant venomous spider. Would you like to steal its skill?"

"plunder"

"The host has successfully learned [Capture] and [Thread Control]."

"【Dominator】Extracts materials from the giant venomous spider."

Looking at this huge monster, Li Qing thought it must have a lot of materials on it.

"Successfully obtained ahead of schedule, acquiring 2 Spider Eyes and 5 Sticky Silks."

Li Qing's face darkened. How could such a large C+ monster yield so few materials?

"【Dominator】Are there really so few materials for this monster? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Report: Host, we have detected that all the useful materials from this monster have been extracted. Please note that only materials that meet the minimum C-grade standard can be extracted into the material library."

"I see. So only the lowest-level materials can be advanced. It seems the material library doesn't accept just any junk."

"Yes, that's one way to understand it."

Hearing the ruler's affirmative answer, Li Qing felt relieved and muttered a curse under his breath as he looked at the demon's corpse on the ground.

"Rubbish"

Without looking back, he went deeper into the cave, continuing to use his magical senses to explore the area ahead.

If you encounter a few monsters, you can mercilessly kill them and also gain some useful skills and low-level materials.

Li Qing didn't miss out on the magic crystals and Fipokot grass either, since they were everywhere here, and he collected a huge pile of them.

These things even have C-level material ratings in his resource library.

He knew that these two things were quite rare outside, and that they could also be used as raw materials.

He plans to wait until he has collected a certain amount of materials in the resource library before he can properly study the other function of the Overlord: Synthesis and Creation.

(Note: The character material library is categorized in the same way as the monster strength, making it easier for readers to distinguish between them. There's a surprise coming up!)

"Host has successfully killed a C+ level Black Wind Serpent Python. Plunder? Extract?"

"Yes"

"Successfully plundered, the host has gained [Temperature Perception] and [Mega Poison Strike]."

"Successfully obtained ahead of schedule. Host has successfully obtained 2 x [Venom Fang] and 2 x [Snake Eye] materials ahead of schedule."

Without lingering, Li Qing kicked the corpse aside.

"Host has successfully killed a C+ level compound-eyed bat. Plunder? Extract?"

"yes!"

"The raid was successful. You have gained the skills [Sonic Vibration] and the [Night Vision] trait."

"Extraction successful. The host has obtained C+ grade material [Bat Wings] ✘2".

The moment Li Qing gained the [Night Vision] trait, the previously dim cave in his field of vision suddenly became bright.

"Is this the [night vision] feature? That's pretty good."

Li Qing rarely moved his mouth.

With this night vision feature, his hunting speed increased significantly.

These monsters were just raw materials in his eyes, and he would kill them for those materials.

that's it

He has no idea how many monsters he has hunted and how much material he has extracted from them.

.......

"Ugh, I'm really tired, I need to rest for a bit!"

"Where exactly is the place where the Storm Dragon is sealed, and where is that slime?!"

You should know that he had already explored almost half of the cave, but still hadn't found them.

He felt it was necessary to get to know the protagonist of this world.

In theory, he shouldn't feel tired since he doesn't have a physical body, but he can't withstand the mental strain.

"Seriously, just how big is this cave? He's flown so far, how come he still hasn't seen the location of the Storm Dragon Veldora's seal? And there's not even a single lively slime to be seen?"

Li Qing flapped her wings and landed on the bank of an underground river, dipping her little feet into the water.

Her little face was fixed on the water's surface, as if she were thinking about something, somewhat lost in thought.

If someone were watching from the side, they could see a very cute little elf lost in thought on the shore.

"How about we check the resource library?"
