If the Slime King had learned about human culture, it might have understood that the emotion inside its heart was actually called 'loneliness'.
Originally, it thought that this should be the daily norm; a slime should clearly not crave communication, nor had it ever harbored the initiative to seek out companions to talk to.
But now, a Demon Snake that had made a contract with humans was actually chatting congenially with it!
The Slime King couldn't help but feel a strong surge of curiosity.
The gleam of the Gleaming Scale Serpent's Snake Eyes tightened slightly, sensing something amiss.
What's keeping you, why haven't you left yet?
[Talking amicably, minutes left until sunrise (54-86/2=11)]
[The Slime King decides—]
1. Come visit my home!
2. I'll just lick you, to taste. (Refers to the Hero)
3. Stop following humans, come home with me!
4. Take this little one to see the human world.
6. Quietly hid away...
9. What era is your Stigma from?
10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure
Watching the sky turning brighter through the window, a sleep-deprived grandpa put down his book and sighed.
Early in the morning, the village chief grandma came to grandpa's house and added a cup of strong tea for him.
"Though better than those dangerous Magic Creatures, they still aren't a good option," the old lady said with a slight sigh.
"Those who become Heroes have no choice, just like me," grandpa hummed.
"Yes, destiny always likes to play tricks on people," the village chief grandma shook her head with a wry smile.
"Besides, given the Goblin's strong breeding desires as a hunting species, no wonder that child harbors hatred towards them," grandpa said resignedly after sipping his tea.
"Even though their Life Force is exceedingly tenacious, to the extent that humankind has become somewhat accustomed to these secondary disasters, being accustomed doesn't mean it's right."
It's like the taboo that has always been passed down in their family, together with the Hunting Knowledge that followed them.
For centuries, they had become accustomed to being bound to this land, accustomed to being watched by Hunting Knowledge, confined within an invisible cage.
But does it have to continue ?
Once, he had watched his Childhood Friend leave the village with a smile, believing he could accept this destiny.
Yet, when the figure of his Childhood Friend disappeared, and the smile on his own face vanished, what surged in his heart was an inextinguishable rage that burnt through half his life.
Recalling that anger, grandpa couldn't help but show a bitter smile, somewhat understanding why Heroes became Heroes.
"Young people are always impulsive, but that's also why they can change something. It doesn't matter if they're not successful, as long as they're alive, good things will happen," the village chief grandma consoled.
"Let's hope that child returns soon. The village over there is quite prosperous; it probably won't be damaged too severely."
Grandpa, completely unaware that the village had nearly been overwhelmed, shook his head.
"Indeed, among Low-level Demons, compared to Goblins, Slimes pose an even greater threat," the village chief grandma also brewed herself a strong cup of tea.

[Great Darksky Slime R7+]
Like a vast lake, the enormous Dark Slime.
The dark fluid can split and condense into countless Slime Soldiers, forming an Immortal and Indestructible military force, making even the Border's Elite forces shun its sharp edge.
To plunge the world into eternal night, it launched an attack against the Sun above.
Thus, the blazing Sun responded, a golden-red Divine Bird came from the horizon, bombarding the Slime into a sky full of splashes.
After snatching its Demon Core, the Divine Bird left contentedly.
But the exploding fragments of Great Darksky Slime made half the Kingdom lose sunlight for a while, plunging it into darkness without daylight.
Mage Association: Despite such a critical anomaly, that group of Magicians was actually organizing manpower to collect the fluid of that Slime, truly baffling what they have in their heads, probably nothing at all.
Warlock Association: We have collected a large amount of Great Darksky Slime fluid. By refining it through Alchemy Essence, we concocted an unknown effect, unknown taste dark drink. As the quantity is limited, we plan to auction it at a reasonable price internally, but no doubt, this is the first step toward the power of fantasy—
[Has anyone successfully Awakened? (77+ yes)]
Healer Association: Can't heal it, send them all to Holy City, hopefully, they're okay. (With a lack of sympathy in the tone)
