““Uuu…”” Dimly I woke up, snuggling into Flysa’s warm body as the cool morning seeped in through the windows. Even though the sun barely tipped over the horizon people were already going about their days, producing a clamour of footsteps, creaky wheels and mumbled greetings on the street.

“Morning~ Master~” Flysa gently whispered in one of my ears, lighting up my faces with a warm smile.

““Morning Flysa.”” I said sleepily.

She lightly giggled then we fell into a comfortable lull, my two tails swishing gently across the bed.

Sometime later when the sun was a bit higher in the horizon we finally managed to get up and dressed. Jack would be meeting us at the adventurer’s guild to take us into Erocdrah dungeon, and the meeting time was set to be a little after the morning bell; which will go off in a few minutes.

Exiting the inn we leisurely made our way to the guild only speeding up slightly after the bell. Upon reaching the entrance Jack waved to us, “Shall we get going?” He asked while glancing at the surroundings in amusement.

I tilted my left head and shrugged. Nodding he started walking while gesturing for us to follow, “The first thing to worry about when going into a dungeon is supplies, and since we are going to the thirtieth floor of Erocdrah we need enough supplies to last at least five months.”

I started and stared at him, ““Five months!?” What is the size of this dungeon!?”

He chuckled, “I guess I didn’t tell you, Erocdrah is the largest dungeon on this continent; its sheer size warrants whole battalions- or raids- to be formed just to travel ten floors. The first ten are at the size where it would take three days for the average rank-A adventurer to go straight from the entrance to the exit of a single floor, not even taking into account the twists and turns of the labyrinth. Every ten floors the size expands, with it taking five days per floor 11 through 20; seven for 21 through 30. Every ten floors there is a boss as well, but we should be able to take care of them easily enough.”

I glared accusingly at him, “And why are you telling us this now?”

He grinned, “Forgot? You already told your friends you were leaving for the thirtieth floor so they’ll understand. You’re probably the only one who doesn’t understand its pure size.”

I grumbled a few curses under my breath, but couldn’t stop my two tails from swooshing excitedly under my cloak. Despite the daunting time-frame it wasn’t like I had any other goals than getting stronger at the moment, and the fact that there was such a dungeon was an exciting prospect. Though… “How are we going to carry five months worth of supplies on us?” I asked in expectation.

“Item bags. I already have one that’s big enough for it, but you two should probably get your own incase we get separated. Which is why we are currently heading towards the church of Laitaps.”

I tilted my heads in confusion, “Church? Laitaps?”

He made an ah motion, “You probably wouldn’t know it but Laitaps is a god that rose to power a long time ago. His specialty is a mysterious magic known as ‘Space’. The products of such magic are things like item bags and rooms that are bigger on the inside.” He sighed, “Though only people with his blessing or gifts are capable of wielding space magic or creating such items.” He said with slight regret.

I pondered this for a moment, “How do blessings work exactly?”

“Depends. There are varying levels of blessings, the most common is a weak blessing called ‘gift’, which is attached to the body. The next is the normal blessing which is also attached to the body but is more powerful, called ‘Protection’. The third is rarer and is known as ‘Blessing’. This one is attached to the soul so it can remain through reincarnations.

Besides these there are a few variations such as scion or champion. But those two come with responsibilities attached and cannot be given unless both parties agree to it.”

Mulling over the new information I pondered the implications of my own blessing. Which by the information given to me it should affect my soul… Uth I wish I knew the exact implications of it…

Before long we arrived infront of a small silver stone church and quickly entered through the wooden door. Looking around I had an ‘as expected’ moment when I found the inside to be the size of a coliseum instead of the lanky building outside.

Quickly we were approached by a young priest wearing a black garment glittering with small star-like gems. She smiled at us, “Hello Liord, how may assist you today?”

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

He gestured to the two of us behind him, “I need item bags for these two, preferably large.” He paused for a moment before sighing, “And if you can, test them for space aptitude.”

The priestess smiled wryly, “The past is the past Jack.” She then turned to us and gestured us forward. “Come, the testing won’t take long.”

Nodding me and Flysa followed her while one of my heads was observing the mural of the night sky on the ceiling. I wonder if it is accurate. I didn’t really pay attention to the night sky in either worlds, only marveling at their beauty. After a minute we reached the center of the building- or at least what I could see of it- and stopped at an altar with a stone model resembling a ringed planet resting ontop.

“Please touch the rings, if you have affinity with space you will receive a blessing from Laitaps.”

Nodding I reached up and pressed my finger onto the ring. A moment passed. Two. “Unfortunately it doesn’t seem you have enough affinity for his notice.” The priest said solemnly. I sighed and withdrew my hand, glaring slightly at the planet statue. The priest patted my right head, “Don’t worry, most people have no chance of a blessing.”

Collecting myself I tried to ignore the pleasure coming from my fondled right ears and stepped away from the priestess while gesturing Flysa forward. However she hesitated and looked at me.

Tilting my left head I raised an eyebrow, “What is wrong?”

“If master doesn’t get the blessing there is no point of me getting it either…” She mumbled and I sighed while stepping and pushing her from behind.

“Hurry up and try. Doesn’t matter which one of us gets it it will be useful.” Sure I might have some temporary jealousy, but punishing Flysa for my own shortcomings would be little of me.

Nodding she steadied her breathing and gently reached her hand forward, moments before touching my eyes narrowed as I felt a warp in the area, and the priest inhaled sharply. The next moment Flysa’s hand touched the ring. *Brrrnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

I instantly grabbed onto Flysa’s clothes as the very fabric of space around us trembled. Gently I felt massive amounts of magic pour into Flysa from the planetoid, and her skin rippled as it passed through it.

*ting~

Flysa has gained a boon: [Laitaps’ Favor]

Flysa has refused to sever your contract!

Flysa has gained the title: Laitaps’ Curiosity

Flysa has started a sudden evolution into Caeltemplum Deullator Slimeusai - Dryadivus (Gargantuan) (Royal) (Elite)!

Space stopped shivering and Flysa’s entire body collapsed. Worriedly I caught her and supported her head with my chest. Her entire body shivered uncontrollably, rapidly growing and shrinking like a beating heart. Space around her distorted randomly all the while I clutched her to my chest. Dimly I noted the priestess standing by in shock.

I turned to her, “I need a private room for Flysa. Now.”

She nodded and gestured me to follow, then grimaced as she moved back to help me carry Flysa only to find me carrying her the best I can in piggy back. “Move.” I commanded and she nodded, quickly leading me to a side room with a large bed. Not asking questions I laid Flysa down and started stripping her, blushing slightly at her rapidly morphing chest and vagina before stripping myself and jumping into the bed with her.

The priestess left to give us privacy some time ago, but I was too busy clutching Flysa’s shifting body in worry. Absently I wondered if it would be safe for me, but considering we evolved while sleeping with eachother before I dismissed the worry.

Suddenly Flysa’s body lurched, seemingly melting into firm gelatin before wrapping around me and shivering. Space itself continued to fluctuate as I left Flysa clutch my body in her slime form. I wonder if the pain is similar to when I awakened my cores? Concerned I gently let my tails rub against her jade-like skin and closed my eyes.

At some point I fell asleep and was only awoken by the ting~ that comes with a status update.

Flysa has evolved into a Caeltemplum Deullator Slimeusai - Dryadivus (Gargantuan) (Royal) (Elite)!

Lost traits: [Dense Bones (Greater)] - [Dense Muscles (Greater)] - [Greater Fertility] - [Hard Hide(Greater)] - [Keen Smell] - [Magic Horn] - [Photosynthesis(Epic)] - [Rapid Regeneration(Advanced)] - [Thick Skin(Greater)]

Gained traits: [Endless Stomach(Divine)] - [Shapeshifter(Legendary)] - [Space Magic(Legendary)]

Traits evolved: [Alluring Presence] - [Dual Core(Aware)]

Evolution complete!

Reading through the evolution changes I then moved my gaze to the giant mass of warmth that was embracing me, finding myself stuck between two melons the diameter of half my height with Flysa’s giant hand- her palm now bigger than my torso- gently supporting my two heads with her soft thumb.

Twisting my neck I caught sight of Flysa sleeping face. Her skin has now become semi-transparent with glittering sparks of blue mana floating through her white-green frosted skin. She had lost her tusks, now purely the face of a proud amazonian warrior with semi-short silver hair that glittered with blue sparks every now and then. I should also mention that her head alone was as tall as three quarters of my height, for all intents and purposes I was the size of a baby to her!
