On the way back to school we were talking about the new changes this school had gone through.
Everyone was excited when I said real fairies made a home in the pond inside my dungeon territory.
"Who knew that magic power from a fairy was needed to make a bridge for them to return." Owen said, amazed.
The others were equally amazed. The progress in the dungeon of the others was rather high to say the least.
With the death of the players in Asher's Dungeon gave him strong bodies which allowed him to summon strong ghouls, zombies and skeletons. They all possessed corrupted copies of the gear they owned and because of that they quickly ranked up into various undead types making his dungeon very dangerous now.
Also the increase in magic power allowed his dungeon to completely change the layout on the surface of the dungeon into a dead forest and change the cave into a catacomb. Catacombs are underground cemeteries left by ancient civilizations where dungeons could mimic these and make them an undead breeding ground. This is a very good place for undead because of the dark energy emanated from it. Another perk is that it is one of the few layouts that allows expansion upwards out of the ground making an above ground building, protected by his undeads.
Stephanie's took a similar turn. But not with the revival of the corpses. Her saplings had ranked up already into treants but several saplings that managed to kill and eat the bodies of the players became unique monsters known as Dryads. These are monsters with female-like bodies that have similar organs as plants like the chlorophyll and with masterful control of nature magic.
The downside is that they are fixed to a determined location.
Before they rank up, the saplings find a suitable location and clear it of other trees before planting its roots permanently. Once it ranks up the sapling body becomes a huge tree and the Dryad is born which is linked to the tree. It is fixed to how far the roots are spread which makes them stationary but the power they had is really high in return. The dungeon lord also turned into one of these because it was one of the nature monsters with the highest power. The previous dungeon lord was a larger than normal treant so it was a good trade for her.
For Owen he gained devils which are a rare rank up from lesser demons he possessed. He also got something called bruisers which are born from something called a husk. Now he is trying to make ghost and canine type monsters in his dungeon but is having trouble making imps turn into each of them.
Nova had some progress as did everyone. Her dungeon obviously features the strongest of all monsters which is the dragons, though she only has lizards at the moment as well as the lizardmen. About a third of the current population are actual warriors while another third are miners or builders and the last bit children and eggs.
Besides them she obtained regular lizards which are now large in size called komodos. They have a very poisonous bite but don’t actually spit poison. The monster in truth is just like the komodo dragon on earth which gave it the name I guess. The boss though is a much larger komodo dragon which should already be obvious what it is since the dungeon made a lava pool in the boss room. Yep, a salamander is the boss monster. Nova plans to later make hot spots throughout the dungeon so that more fire breeds appear. Besides the lizards, there are predators who prey on them like large bats and some canines she bred to give challenge to the lizards and make them grow, also by hunting each other.
Come to think of it, we never did see Eleonora’s dungeon yet.
“Um… well I started with goblins… but after a while they died out after I got the species I really wanted…” she said blushing.
“Hey hey, what was it!? What!” Nova asked.
“...Cats…” She says and looks away.
“You mean feline monsters?” Stephanie asked.
Eleonora nods confirming what was asked.
“It’s almost purely feline, my main builders are kobolds but a variant made from felines. There are also shadow panthers, green puma, flare lions, aquatic wild cats and white tigers.” She says looking at us who were all slack jawed.
Most were actually powerful monsters, half of which were solo hunters who were extremely powerful.
“What is your dungeon boss?” I asked nervously.
“I think it's called… hmm…” She said thinking but suddenly the ring on her hand lit up and the image of a volcanic room appeared and at its center was a huge jaguar with Black Fur and red glowing spots.
“Yeah… this is it. It’s called Heat Haze Jaguar.” She said.
…
“This thing… isn’t it like an A rank monster?” Asher asked to which she nodded.
“How did you get it?” I asked.
“It was a unique monster in my dungeon. The only boss rank was a Shade Cougar which was even stronger than the shadow panther. But once the boss room, which is the room you're seeing right now, was done, I chose him to be the boss but then when he connected to the dungeon to be the boss he ranked up into that.” She explained.
“Ah, something similar happened to a slime I prepared for the dungeon boss as well. It was a pink slime with a bear and demi-human form but once it became the dungeon boss he turned silver.” I said, making everyone gasp.
It was clear that dungeon bosses tend to be unique, but it didn't seem anyone else hit something so unique as this.
Well it's not a bad thing, spreading info, even if it is to be kept a secret, is also a way to learn more of the world's mysteries.
Because of our talk, time passed fast as we walked back to the dormitory, with my three main pets as guards.
I really need to obtain something that flies, I will be at a huge disadvantage against flying enemies .
Come to think of it, there were a number of slimes from the trees that obtained human form. The apple tree slimes were also red slimes, and they made really strong knights compared to others. I may obtain one and get it to mimic one of the monsters in the dungeon.
The sun was almost setting when we reached the dormitory. We were all hungry so we headed into the cafeteria. They were serving tuna fish sandwiches and several fried or baked snacks with fruit juices to drink.
I grab two sandwiches and a fried snack that looks like a big teardrop that has chicken inside and a kind of cheese cream on the bottom. One thing that transferred over to this world from earth was sour cream and I made sure to grab a bottle with it along with ketchup because these are the two best complimenting sauces that go on with snacks. The last thing I got was Orange juice, which I took a small sip from, and I smiled from the sourness.
The reason is because they had a small bit of orange fruit slime extract which made the juice very tasty.
The others get their own snacks and we head to our usual table where the others of our year were.
We all talk about what we did during the break, enjoying our company, but everything has an unfortunate end, and today has the same unpleasant complication as the beginning.
“YOU INSOLENT LITTLE WELP!!” A sudden shout coming from the door drew everyone’s attention.
Standing at the door was the same idiot I kicked earlier today, Eleonora’s older brother. There was something strange about it though as he slowly walked over.
His posture, it wasn’t refined like this morning, instead he looked like he was having trouble standing and took small steps while somewhat limping. He tried to hide it but he flinched from pain. The second thing that we all noticed and were fighting a losing battle to not laugh at was his lower half.
Around his groin was a large bulge which was probably ice but not only there but around his lower abs area. I am sure the kick I gave him traveled up to his lower organs inside.
“You little worm, your deed will make you hunted for the rest of your life!” He said as he stopped four meters away.
I noticed he tried to get closer but his body unconsciously stopped him. He must have developed a serious trauma of me that his fear overpowers his pride.
“On the first day of school when I met your sister she acted similar to you, maybe trying to get something out of it. She said similar things like you by waving around your Nation’s name.” I said.
“Shut up, welp!” He said but I ignored him.
“What I told her is what I will tell you. This Island is a neutral zone. That is what I told her, to you I will say that and also that here you are nothing more than a snot nosed brat that had had strong people help for you so you can feel superior. Eleonora is easily stronger than you and should be the true Heir to the throne.” I say my thoughts which makes the room turn ice cold.
This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Even the other royalties around me were shocked beyond belief. Maybe it’s because I have grown used to being around the Royal Families but I don't feel danger from someone as small as him. He can’t compare to any of the Royalties and Nobles I’ve met.
“Heh… Hehe…. HAHAHA!! Eleonora better than me?! Also you got lucky last time! You caught me off guard!” He shouted.
“No, you let her hit you.” Owen says nonchalantly, making some older students that were present giggle.
If I’m right this kid is also in this school, he shouldn’t be more than 12 so that means some older students should know him.
“Guards!” He suddenly shouted and two young men that looked around 17 years old each ran in drawing their weapons.
“This is the insolent girl I've talked about. Though father wished to bring her alive it was never said she had to be unharmed. Get her!” He says but without a moment passing I snap my finger.
There isn’t much room here but I summon a fully armored Glop and Peach. I took a glance at their levels quickly and saw Glop had a great leap in levels recently while Peach hasn’t gotten much. Glop caught up with Peach with both being level 49 now.
“Kill those two slimy monsters and get the girl.” He shouts, making the two run towards us.
“Immobilize and disarm them. If they don’t stop, knock them out.” I say and turn to watch while I eat.
The two slimes meet the guards head on and with the shield they stop the sword on the shield and follow the block with a kick to the gut that sends them flying away from the seats the students were in.
The kicks weren’t anything weak as well. I’m sure you can already guess but the slime's stats are higher than ones of the same level thanks to a certain amazon’s crazy training.
They grab their swords and get into a familiar fighting pose as the guards stand up with angry expressions by being pushed back by humanoid slimes.
They advanced towards the slimes using a warrior skill, Great slash. Their swords began glowing and they swung the swords which had lots of power behind them, but it’s not like I haven't trained my slimes in magic.
They have the ability to use all kinds of magic and what they do is buff their shields with the spell “Stone Skin” and block the attack that pushes them back a bit. Then they retaliate with several rapid swings of the sword.
Most of them were countered with the guards own attacks that kept impacting at the same power but the slimes had the edge, and near the end Peach took a step closer and hit near the guard making the sword fly out of the guards hand only for him to meet the bottom side of her sword on his head… HARD!
The guard collapses unconscious and just like her Glop makes the sword fly out of his target and finishes with the hilt of the sword to the gut.
Everyone was watching and began clapping at the power display of a tamer.
Your Slimes, Peach and Glop have reached level 50. Level requirement for body growth reached. Advancing to a teenage sized body. Increased all stats by 10% due to growth correction.
Glop has absorbed enough magic power and has grown beyond his normal limit and has advanced to Orange Mimic Slime.
“What?” I said out loud
As sudden as the messages appeared all the armor slimes jumped off the slimes revealing the pink and blue slime below.
Rapidly they began to expand and grow. Peach began by growing taller until she was 168 cm tall then her female curves developed. Her breasts developed into B cup making you see her as a budding young woman. The slimy texture of the slime body that looked like it would fall any moment instantly vanished as the slime firmly fixed together into a tight body. Her eyes, which were like large goggles, also became smaller, or I could say it entered her head, and a smaller amount was exposed. Following this her slime became less transparent and more murky, most of her body turned a tanned color while her hair turned brown almost black. She looked much more human but the slime tail and ears were still there and were much larger now.
Glop on the other hand grew to 175 cm tall and built a bit more muscle. I would compare it to a young athlete or a lean american football player. His blue slime turned orange as he grew, meaning he was two ranks higher and one rank below Peach now. This was an interesting discovery since it means mimics trained to their limits can rise up in rank and if they live in mana rich areas like a dungeon they advance to higher ranks.
Like Peach his slime soon turned tan with his hair turning brown, mimicking his skin and the slime became tightly packed to his body and no longer dripping down.
Before too much can be seen the armor slimes jumped on them back, arming them once more with armor that was the proper size.
We were all shocked by the sudden change in size but before we could say anything…
“M-MONSTERS!!” The idiot prince said as he fell on the ground making the ice on him jiggle.
I get up and unsummon the slimes which I already plan to summon after cleaning up this trash.
“Now then, I don’t want to get my hands dirty but you do know you put in danger not only me but also the royal families of the other nations, and the noble children of other nations as well.” I said, eyeing him and saying in a cold tone.
“I-I’M THE CROWNED PRINCE!” He shouted.
“And so are four of my best friends and yet you don’t see them waving a flag in a neutral zone like this school. It is completely pathetic that such a person like you is a crowned prince. You are the worst kind of person. Even those people that live in slums and fight to live each day are better people than you.” I say.
There are many who frown hearing me say that but it’s no less true.
He was panicking because I was slowly getting close. He was on his back trying to back away.
“This is your final warning ‘Crowned Prince’...” I say in a sarcastic tone. “DO NOT! Try this stunt again because I can't guarantee…” I stopped next to his head as he was on the ground and crouched next to his head while pulling his ear close. “that you will be able to bear a child.” I said and get up. “Am I understood?” I said and he nodded vigorously.
I turn my back to him and walk to my seat and completely ignore his existence. Eleonora had a terribly worried look on her face as she looked at her pale older brother that was still shaking in fear.
We finish our snack quickly and split up returning to our rooms with the prince still frozen in the same location. To get him out we wake the guards and have them take him.
That night I summoned Peach and Glop.
“Wow, they really grew.” Kumi said as she examined them both.
“Master… is… something… wrong?” Peach asked, tilting her head.
My eyes widen after hearing her complete a full sentence. I pull out the status plate and look up their stats.

“Wow! Their wisdom shot up. That means they are better at understanding stuff now.” I said while looking down at it.
“Master?” Peach suddenly said.
When I looked up I saw Peach bent over looking down. She smiled and was too quick for me to react as she connected her lips with mine. They were warm and solid now unlike before which were squishy… WAIT WHAT AM I THINKING!?
She pulls back and smiles brightly.
“I… love… master!” She says.
The moment she said that I noticed a bigger fellow moving forward.
“OKAY STOP!” I shout at Glop.
“No kissing on my lips anymore.” I shout which seems to make the slimes sad.
“Love...master.” Glop said in a sad deeper tone.
I frown and look at Kumi for help.
“You know they are like this cause you never spoke properly to them and only avoided them. Get someone to explain to them.” She said
“I guess we can do that. Since you both got so big I can only sleep with one of you.” I said and was about to unsummon Glop cause he was a man and not a child anymore but as if knowing my intent Peach walked over.
“Glop...sleep...with...master.” She says and kisses my cheek instead of my lips. “Good… night… master.” She says and unsummons herself.
So I was left with Glop. He smiled at me and with a few taps on his shirt and shorts shaped slime armor they changed into something like pajamas. I sigh deeply as he jumps into bed and gets comfy like always.
“Good luck.” Kumi says giggling as she climbs to the top bunk.
I frown at her way as she begins changing into her pajamas. I do the same and put on my own clothes before I crawl into bed.
Unexpectedly, Glop puts his arm around me and hugs me close. He was also much warmer than before which means he has begun to mimic humans better. I quickly look at all the skills and see both Glop and Peach’s Mimic skill have gone all the way to Intermediate level 1 which makes them like i see now.
This… was uncomfortable. I was strangely conscious of him now that he was much more grown up and not a kid anymore. I could somewhat handle Peach kissing me but it’s too hard to imagine Glop. I really don’t want to think of it anymore so I force my eyes closed as i am in his arms and my heart beating louder and faster.
Shut up heart! I shout to myself trying to calm down these strange feelings.
