Ch. 1 Part 10: New Name

"Ahah! This is the greatest blessing in my life! God has listened to my prayers!! For your triple S ranked Luck, I can ignore the fact that you have nuts for brains. Slime, you are the turning point in my career. You must be bestowed upon me by God, despite your dysfunctional character, I will no longer be stuck as a poor girl that can't afford to level-up in compounding."

With his great luck, I can get all kinds of rare materials. Moreover, he's an S Rank meat shield! Pfft, ahahahaha, it will be a breeze, like a walk in the park if I want to go through magic dungeons or even across continents!

"My Eri, you are drooling again. Please don't fall asleep with your eyes open."

"Uh! Right, it's nothing. I'm very happy, happy to accept you as my spouse. Remember to continue to do a good job of collecting materials."

Eri patted the green-haired man affirmatively. However, she soon found a problem.

"You...you have only one active skill? On top of that, it's cooking?! How can you be so...lacking..."

"That is natural, my Eri. When I lived in the slime dungeon, all I needed to do was to eat. In a sense, ever since my evolution, I can be regarded as a newborn."

This can't be...even if it's a Rank S meat shield, it's a skill-less useless meat shield!

"But you have Rank B cooking! Don't tell me that slimes practice cooking!"

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

"I gained the skill just now, my Eri. How else would I be able to roast barbecued hare and boil venison leek soup."

"What?!"

Did he gain a skill instantaneously? Could he be a skill-genius? As long as he tries he can realise the skill he wants? But...I can't be too sure, maybe he was just lucky with cooking.

"Um Slime, let's prepare to leave. I want to harvest the vitality berries and Hundred Hearts."

Slime nodded and reached out to Eri's forehead. His thumb and index finger kneaded the crease between her brows.

"My Eri, are you feeling unhappy?"

"..."

"What's the matter, my love?"

"...that is..why is your name so crude? I don't believe every slime in the slime dungeon is named...Slime?"

Even if he's my subordinate, aka fake spouse, such a name is an insult. What if I become famous in the future? Eri and Slime? Her husband Mr. Slime?! What a joke!!

"Well, slimes do not speak. We identify each other through power attributes. Since my Eri has been calling me 'Slime', therefore my name is Slime."

"Aghh!! It's my fault?! Can't you change your name?"

"You can call me as you like my Eri. Since this is the first day I have received a name, it should not be permanent until 24 hours have passed."

"Saved!! You need a new name..."

I need a good name, a proud name, a heroic name? No, heroes always end up dying tragically and creating a harem of 3000 widowed concubines. Trash that, we need a catchy name. A name that could be related to his role. I remember his status says 'Fate-changer', so we need a name that fully encapsulates this meaning!

"Hmm, Destin, Dustin, Karma, Chance...eww these are so cheesy. What about 'Rise' or 'Raise'? These words are pretty cool. Let's modify it a bit. Laize? Raze? Rai? Rei?"

"Rei sounds nice, my Eri."

"Rei it is! It's derived from 'Raise' which means you will travel up and afar, and it sounds like 'ray' which means a ray of light or a symbol of hope and future! Hehe, don't you think I'm talented at naming?"

"My Eri is talented."

"Mwahaha! Let's pack up!"
