Chapter 3 – Fury of Heroes

Omake

Out of the setting sun come the 5 kamen slime heroes. Slime orange, slime yellow, slime green, slime indigo, and slime violet.  They come to defeat Lord Redd.  They make short work of his blue slime army before combatting Lord Redd himself.

However Lord Redd is truly a fearsome power and overwhelms them.  But not all is lost. They summon their ultra-mega-giga-omega-dragon-super-wooden-army-robot RoyGBiv.  RoyGBiv uselessly fights the now giant sized Lord Redd. Why this robot ever does anything before summoning it’s burning justice sword is a mystery since it never does anything useful before then.  

So the umgodswar RoyGBiv (because no way in hell am I typing all that out again) finally pulls the great wooden sword from its back.  Then takes out it’s lighter to make the sword “blazing.” Normal evil etiquette is to allow the heroes do their long finishing moves.  But Lord Redd will have none of that. He spits his ultimate attack sticky goo into RoyGBiv robot’s joints to immobilize it.

He watches in glee as the burning justice sword ignites the rest of the robots wooden body.  The cheery red glow warming his cold dark heart.

Chapter 3 – Fury of Heroes

A cute girl is kneeling in front of a hastily constructed shrine in an alley. There is something off about her though.  Well anyone feverishly praying in an alley to a stick person effigy this is more or less a given.  However there is something even more off that that.

Upon closer inspection she has a poorly shaved head. The rest of her red hair seems stuck on the altar in front of her. At first she seems almost sad but quickly the sadness is replaced by a weird, hard to describe look in her eyes.

Is that a hint of madness? Or perhaps anger so profound that it transcends human emotions. Whatever it is seems to intensify as her chanting continues.

“It is by will alone I set my body in motion. It is by the juice of the red slime that motions acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my body in motion.”

She begins to shake in ecstasy, perhaps a divine revelation, or possibly anaphylactic shock as she nibbles on a red gooey substance.

----------------------------------------

“I love the smell of sticky goo in the morning!” G8-41 makes a grimace. He’ll have to come up with a better evil tag line.  That one just has too many bad jokes about it.  Not that any of his current followers would dare make them.  Or have the ability to say more than one word.

Yes his 150 slimy minions may be loyal, or too terrified to be anything else, but beings of many words they are not. Oh well with his new found army it is time to conquer this zone in the name of G8-41! Hmm personal note will have to come up with a better name, G8-41 just doesn’t roll off the tongue.

In his evil terror spree yesterday he completely forgot about his status screen. Time to bring it up to see how powerful he has become.

Does 5 damage per 3 seconds. Has a chance at gaining new abilities from absorbed target. Can be used on any object which fits inside user.

Decent he thinks after examining his status.  Although the skills are still low he has unlocked some nice abilities. In particular absorption looks very useful.  

Well time to start the invasion. He’s somewhat disappointed that he can only have an army of 150 slimes.  Although his skill should allow for almost twice that the zone has a spawn cap of 150. He sends 50 to patrol and kill upstart adventures to the east.  Then sends 50 more to teach those foolish heroes not to oppose him to the west.

The final 50 he has attack a lone city guard patrolling around the city walls.  Seven attacks, in seven seconds, killing seven slimes per swing.  The guard leaves the last slime alive to recount his tale as a warning to those that would dare invade.  Okay, going to need to find another way in to mess with the players in the city.

After recouping his losses, G8-41 takes his 49 newly recruited and 1 grizzled veteran slime on a detailed survey expedition of the zone.  Like a good survey should he takes time to sample the flora and fauna of the area.

In reality this is just flora since the local small fuzzy critters are smarter than the slime army and easily avoid them.  A few attempts at surrounding them ended up as comedy acts of befuddled slimes and chittered insults.

Hmm tastes like chicken.  Actually doesn’t taste like much of anything really G8-41 thinks.  Mostly he just uses his absorb skill on various grasses, trees, and vines. Although each restore a small percentage of his hunger bar they are rather tasteless and don’t provide any other benefits.

Oh this one tastes slightly bitter.  He decides to absorb a few more similar looking plants.

New Ability!

Mild Poison  

After ingesting several poisonous plants you now know how to create a mild poison.

Effect: Causes those without poison resistance to feel mildly nauseous. No effect in combat.

Nice. Perhaps he can get poison resistance skill if he keeps eating these plants. After 20 minutes he gives up though when the skill does not appear and his status has changed to violently ill.  Slimes were not meant to see their own red colored sick.  The purple forest now looks like a murder scene with pools of red scattered about and the occasional red splatter.

Undaunted, after he stopped heaving and rested for an hour, he continues his sampling.  This one tastes like stale coffee, gives mild stimulant ability.  Another tastes like cherry cough medicine, gives mild heath recovery ability. Thiss onnwe tathtes liwke mewdissine twoo, mild numbing agent ability.  

Ohh this one tastes gooood~, mild muscle relaxant ability and G8-41 enjoying looking at clouds for 10 minutes. The final one tastes like tingles and puppy dog laughs, which puzzles him as how can one taste such things till the ability screen pops up. Mild mana recovery ability gained.

None of the new abilities has a tied in skill though. Does that mean he can’t learn the skill untrained or that they can’t be increased in effectiveness he questions.  They are not very useful though. Except for the mild muscle relaxant one, but for now G8-41 has a mission to finish before sampling more of his recreational ability.

Sampling one last plant before he moves on G8-41 is surprised at the taste. That last plant tasted like real food. A turnip to be exact. He glances down and sees the top of a slightly purple root.  Not that he’s a fan of turnips but still it might come in handy later.

He looks at his pseudopod and wonders if he can make it into a shovel.  A few attempts later and he does it, easily digging up the turnip.  He digs up a few more and stores them in his inventory.

New Skill!

Gardening (Novice 0%)  

A boring activity most old retired people do before they die of boredom.

Effect: Able to take care of and harvest small plants such as vegetables and herbs

These can’t be normal skill descriptions are the devs messing around in beta or is something else going on?  He hopes he finds out later as right now he has no idea how to investigate it. But the shovel did give him a novel idea at least.

G8-41 tries to make other simple tools, hammer, hatchet, chisel, and pick ax. After a few tries he succeeds at them. He fails at making anything more complex like scissors though. I wonder he thinks. He concentrates on a new tool. It starts to take shape when a mosaic covers it.

WARNING

Although this game is rated M for mature such things are only allowed in private spaces between consenting adults.  Please refrain from such actions in public or else you’ll get perverted titles and penalties.

Heh well he’ll just have to remember that for later when he has some private time with his harem.  He looks sideways at his slime army.  His slime army backs away from him. Nah will never be that desperate. Several slimes sigh in relief.

Ability Update!

Pseudopod -> Multipurpose Pseudopod

Effect Multipurpose Pseudopod can be used as a basic tool for most skills. +1 Pseudopod cap

Nice. He tries his updated ability to mine a rock. Ouch! Rocks are apparently harder than slimes.  Let’s try cutting that small tree. Ouch again.  What is the point of having an easily bruised tool that can’t do anything useful he thinks.

Now that’s odd. Music has started playing.  Until now he’s heard nothing but the sounds a slime army bouncing around.  Now a low music is ominously playing and slowing reaching a crescendo. Finally with trumpets blaring he sees a manly looking slime appear backed by the setting sun.

This new slime is deep royal blue with a simple wooden circlet on his head.  He also seems to be less wiggly than a normal slime and more composed.  Well whatever a slime is a slime. “Hey you, follow me.” G8-41 says to the majestic slime.

“Nein”

“Did you just say no?”

“Ja”

“Whoa a slime that knows 2 words. We have a badass here.  You here to fight me?”

“Ja” And with that the heroic slime charges.

Being the evil overlord of a slime that he is G8-41 runs away ordering his army to attack the deep blue slime hero.  G8-41 stays at a distance and attacks every moment he sees an opening.  

Slowly but surely the heroic slime cuts down G8-41’s army.  It seems like G8-41 will have to duel this upstart slime himself.  The heroic slime starts grinning sure of his hard earned win.  

“All slimes follow. All slimes attack” G8-41 shouts out.

The blue slime hero looks about.  In the course of the battle the evil red slime lead the hero back to a slime spawn point and with his words recovered his army.

“Nein. Nein. Nein!” Sadly the slimes are less afraid of dying quickly to the hero than they are of being slowly tortured to death. After his previous battle and now with fresh enemy reserves the slime hero is in despair. He must end the evil red slime.  With a final act of will he charges the evil tyrant.

Sadly G8-41 was expecting this and stopped the blue heroes charge with a spear like pseudopod causing the hero’s wooden circlet to fall off.  “A worthy opponent” G8-41 says before turning his other pseudopod into an executioners ax and cleaving the hero in twain.  “nein, nein, nein…” the heroic slime gasps as his body melts away.  G8-41 picks up the wooden circlet and puts it on his head.

New Class Unlocked!

You can now change into a slime king!

As you’ve conquered the local slime population and crushed their hopes by defeating their only hero, the blue slime crowned prince, you now have the option of becoming their king. You do not currently meet the requirements for this class change.  You will be able to freely change into this class at lv 5.

You also have the right to wear the crown of slimes, the crappy wooden circlet fyi, +1 armor, +300 slime leadership, +5000 slime command.

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

“Ku ku ku. No one can oppose me now.”  

Well time to get his evil nights rest. G8-41 crawls back into his leaf litter pile to dream evil dreams in preparation for tomorrow.

The next day G8-41 begins his survey of the region again.  He covered most of it yesterday without finding a way into the city.  Today he is in luck though as he finds a sewer outflow covered by iron bars.

Knowing that fantasy sewers can be dangerous he gathers his entire slime army before squeezing between the bars. Like rats slimes can enter anything their cores can fit through regardless of how big the rest of their body is.

His cheery red glow actually is coming in handy he thinks.  Otherwise he’d have no way to light up these sewers. As he follows the sewers toward the city he quickly encounters some giant rats.  He cautiously approaches them however they seem disinterested in eating slimes.  

As he follows the sewers he continues to encounter many challenging mobs such as zombies, alligators, and mutated goldfish but none attack. Do mobs not attack each other or are slimes just not that tasty he ponders. Whatever the reason he is unmolested as he explores this subterranean tunnel complex.

Other than a few copper coins and lots of non-hostile to slime mobs there is not a lot down here he thinks as he puts the coins into his inventory. Also few ways up into the city.  Well that’s not true there are a lot of small pipes a slime could fit through one at a time.  However invading a city in single file never turns out well for the invaders.

Following a bit of sunlight G8-41 finds a nice wide grate to invade from. He uses his spit sticky goo to make a nice sticky ladder to climb to get to the grate.  Climbing up he cautiously peers about and sees two small dirt walls. He climbs through the sewer grate and sees the dirt walls are the sides of a ditch the grate is set in.  

Crawling forward slowly he gazes out upon a wide stone paved city avenue.  He sees several carts going up and down the avenue with crowds of NPC’s and prosperous adventures buying from the many stalls that line the street.  It has the appearance of a main market street of a prosperous medieval town.  This is very disjointed with the almost savage like adventures outside the town walls. He’s puzzled why there is such an odd difference.

So much of this game is mysterious and hardly anything is recorded online.  As he contemplates this hears a loud noise and several screams.  Oh crap have they noticed him? He freezes in a panic. He sees a cart swerve to miss a small child in the street and careen into a ditch. More precisely his ditch.  His last thought is what a well-crafted wooden cart wheel before it rolls over him.  

Fifteen minutes later *Pop* *Splut* Well that is not a very demonic king way to die. He checks himself over to see what he has lost from his death.  Slime crown still here, all his inventory is still good.  But he has lost 10% of his total experience and skills. Trolling seems to have a minimum value of journeyman.  His other skills can’t go below novice it seems. However a couple of his apprentice skills fell slightly into high novice skills.

Maybe if he is lucky he can recover his death crystal.  He gathers together 100 or so slimes before returning to his last death spot. It takes him an hour to return.  As he approaches his death spot he sees a slime army.  He looks behind him and sees his new slime army. Looking forward again he sees his old slime army.  He’s above the spawn cap with 250 or so slimes around him.

“kukuku”

He has found a way around the spawn cap, by taking his army into another region the cap resets in the spawn area. He bounces up and down in joy.  Now it’s possible to amass a massive army before he attacks the city.

“You 100 slimes go bring back more slimes.” He orders forgetting about the limitation of slimes following commands.  The new slime army happily bounces toward the old slime army. “No from outside the sewers you dolts.” Still continuing to forget their limitations in his excitement. The new slime army happily bounces towards the outside.

Crawling back through the grate G8-41 looks around.  The city is now darkening as the sun sets.  The street is less busy but still several people can be seen walking around as the stalls close for the night.  One thing he doesn’t see is his death crystal. Sighing he heads back down into the sewer.

G8-41 heads back to his rotting royal leaf pile to sleep.  On his way back he encounters his slime army leading more slimes into the sewers.  Odd he thinks, since when did his slimes learn how to follow such complex commands.  He checks his command skill.  Between the crown, his terror bonuses and his own skill it has reached intermediate command for slimes.  That must be it, he thinks, as he curls up in his leaf pile.

After he falls asleep a very wrinkled slime appears.  “Quickly, we must follow the demon lord slime to the Promised Land” she orders the slimes.  The mass pilgrimage continues to the Promised Land filled with water and organic refuse.  Which to a slime is truly all they desire. They are disgusting living slimy garbage disposals after all. The old slime disappears as mysteriously as she appeared.

The next morning G8-41 awakes again to the sight of a stream of slime headed towards the sewers.  He’s not sure why this is going on but as it fits his plans nicely he doesn’t question it.  

Until he builds up his forces he doesn’t really have a lot to do.  He decides to train his command skills by having 10 slimes attack another 10 slimes. I suppose it could be called army training but once a slime starts attacking he doesn’t stop until someone dies.  Apparently slimes ignore attack orders against inanimate objects as well.  Sad really, a well-trained slime army would be so much better.  

It does gain G8-41 a nice trickle of xp and command skill with little work though.  He spends the rest of the day trolling forums and learning as much as he can about the game Oriana.  Apparently he’s part of Beta 1 testing currently.  This is open to ten thousand players at this the first starter city.  It’ll last 2 weeks.  Then Beta 2 will open for 2 more weeks with 125 thousand and 4 more starter cities.  Finally the release with 1 million players and 20 start cities.  After that the plan is to expand by 25-100k players per week as new hardware comes online.

It seems the system takes an enormous amount of resources and is difficult to expand.  NERV, the game company, is creating only one game world so all the players can play together. For such an expensive game one would think only the rich could play.  However NERV is committed to allowing the middle class to afford this game.  They offer two packages, NervGear and RoyalSphere equipment.

NervGear is a basic heavy helmet like VR equipment that causes the user to enter a dreamlike state to play the game.  At the low price of $1,750 and $150 per month it’s barely affordable for most middle class.  The RoyalSphere is a full dive VR equipment providing a superior experience at $25,000 and $1000 per month for rich or serious gaming enthusiast only. The RoyalSphere comes with increased skill gains, experience gains and a few other minor perks as well.  

Some of the devs and hardware engineers are really worried about the fast pace of the beta.  For example the NervGear has proven capable of being hacked and delivering a lethal shock to the user.  A very dangerous combo.  

The RoyalSphere is almost as bad as some people have been put into a temporary coma after extended game play.  They all claim they were perma players in the game when they wake up.  Obviously this equipment can cause a psychosis in some players. Still the company waves away these concerns as they are running out of funding and need to release the product to market quickly.

Even the software has had problems with the logout button not always working being the biggest.  There are also several hard to reproduce bugs of bizarre world and system behaviors.  So far they have luckily been more amusing than not to the players.  Finally a few reports of strange glowing red slime newbie hunting and a sexy yandere goddess demanding people worship her make the devs fear the AI system is not wholly stable either. Time to lay low for a while G8-41 thinks. He has no wish to be deleted or patched after all.

Another interesting bit of information. Skills and items will not be wiped between beta and release. NERV has said this is a bonus to those players who were willing to pay the initial $2,000 equipment fee to beta test the new gear and system.  New players will not be at a disadvantage for long either as the system is logarithmic in its advancement. Even players with a 100,000 skill head start will quickly be about the same as new players as the next level requires 1 million skill points to advance.

He spends the rest of the day teaching the kids on b-chan the finer points of trolling via example.  One just can’t help smiling at the sight of children spewing hurtful words at each other. He leaves off with The Game meme. Yep you’all just lost.  

The next day poor G8-41 is bored out of his mind.  Sure he plays some mindless browser games. Commands slimes to murder one another for his enjoyment.  But really it’s all become so blasé. Not being able to use most skills untrained and not able to buy or sell any swag has G8-41 in a rut.

Browsing through his skills to see what he can level he happens upon gardening.  Perfect he thinks. He can start accumulating newbie herbs and cooking ingredients. Perhaps it’s due to the fact he is a middle aged man stuck in a slime body but the simple repetitive actions of gardening appeal to him.  Now if he had a fishing pond and beer he could retire from the world and lose himself in the tedious relaxation of such activates.

He activates his muscle relaxant ability. Oh yeah~ almost as good as a cold beer on a hot day. Then shapes one multipurpose pseudopod into a hoe and begins to till the land. The other pseudopod he uses to plant seeds. The slime pilgrimage can be seen behind him as he spends the day mostly engrossed in his new project.

The next day he inspects his garden. Some of the seeds have just barely sprouted.  This is taking too long.  G8-41 spends some time in introspection.   He asks himself if he might be giving up on the path of demon king. After all gardening hardly seems like an evil enough hobby to have for a demon king.  

But no, if demon kings had virtues like hard work and laser like focus on goals they would hardly be demon kings now would they.  Lazily wasting time and chaotically changing their plans seems much more fitting for them.  

His slight crises of identity now settled he has an innovative thought of evil on how to improve his garden. Commanding his slimes to bury themselves he goes around killing them and tilling their hopefully fertilizer like corpses into his garden.

Terror Action

You’d think slimes would be desensitized to this by now. Seriously if it wasn’t for these pithy windows he’d come across as a truly horrifying evil monster. He could’ve just used the blue slime goo he has.  But no he just had to use still living slimes for it.

Racial Affiliation Slime: +1000 fear. An additional +500 fear for forcing the entire race to walk past it.

All Racial Affiliation: +10 fear, a true act of evil has been performed. Other races would fear you more but no one cares about slimes.

Art Creation?

Fertile Garden of Mangled Slime Corpses.

Effect: +5 to moral for 15 minutes. Seeing those killed in an act of evil bringing forth new life has a motivating effect on those that gaze upon it. Whether that is to right evil, or hope in the face of despair, or creating something even more vile is up to the viewer.  

Additional Effect: Plants grown in the soil grow twice as fast.

+100 to fame for crafting such a sickeningly macabre landscaping art.

+50 fame for having the entire race walk past it on their way to the Promised Land.  

Ahh yes, perfect, he thinks. The next day he sees his freshly fertilized soil vigorously growing plants. Between the moister, perfect amounts of nutrients and slight stickiness those slime corpses have made the perfect fertilizing ingredient. The scattered slightly sticky blue mangled bits and puddles of blue even trap and kill pests.

The next 2 days are fairly uneventful except for the expanding of the corpse garden and marching lines of slimes. But that all changed when the fury filled fanatics attacked.

They came out of nowhere.  Swiftly overwhelming the slime guards.   The first time he was dead before he even realized he was under attack. Karma is so rarely swift and sure and so fittingly just and to his dismay relentless.

*Pop* *Splut* pain they are upon him again like the Greek furies of old.  This time they did not kill him swiftly. No they took their time to inflict as much pain as possible.  Giving G8-41 plenty of time to see his new tormentors.

All of them are women.  All have poorly shaved heads, wear black leather, and take an unholy delight in his slimy cries of pain.  Some wear full body covering suits and masks others are almost naked but all have the same eyes. No not the color, no not the shape but the glint of anger and madness gone to a level that should not be possible in the sane.   Which perhaps they have already waved sanity goodbye or maybe murdered it in its sleep.  The constant shrieking and incoherent babbling seem to indicate this possibility rather strongly.

Worst of all his attacks are useless. They move with an unnatural speed making hitting them almost impossible. Even when he gets a lucky hit in they seem to delight in the pain.  Even his sure kill spit sticky goo attack only makes them stronger.  They seem to luxuriate in its sticky embrace and even after he is captured take his slime out forcefully and cover themselves in it.

The only thing more terrifying than these modern Erinyes is these modern Erinyes covered in his own red innards.  Like furies they seem to be, the covering of red slime makes them look even more like the distilled wrath of women covered in their enemies blood exacting revenge.

And exacting their revenge they do.  They play bob for his slime core. They use their teeth.  The bites are not very accurate but are very painful. It takes hours for them to succeed. They delight in pinning him to the ground with stakes and leave him out to dehydrate.  

Once they find out he can make a numbing agent they find other things to mix into his body.  This causes him to swell and then they crush him with their bare feet like grapes to make a red slimy wine.  They pull him apart with their bare hands and make wishes.  The winner of course has the part of him with the slime core still in it.

What have I done to deserve this? I mean sure the whole slime terror thing but why would these woman care? Won’t anyone save me? He pleads to the sky.

Quite possibly the last person he wants to see shows up.  Yes it’s Eris in her sexy black leather rogue outfit.  Only thing different is that her hair is now in a very short hair style.

“Happy to see me again?”

“EHAHAAAAA IYAAAAA UUUUGG” and other shrieks of pain come from G8-41 in reply.

“Your busy I can see that.  But I had to come and gloat a bit.  After all it’s not true revenge if I don’t right?”

Eris waves back her furies.

“Gloat about what? Who are these mad women?” he gasps

“Why silly they are the women you tormented.”

“What? I have done no such thing!”

“Tut. Did you not take particular delight in robbing these women of their gorgeous hair?”

“All I did was spit sticky goo in their hair to make them stop killing me!”

“Ahh yes that nasty substance, didja know it’s almost impossible to get out of hair? Really to get rid of it you have to cut it out.  And these poor victims who just wanted to enjoy another world are left here without a proper stylist.”

“All this over hair?”

“Haven’t ya heard the saying a women’s life is her hair?  Each of my Furies have sworn to pursue you to the end of the world until their hair grows back.  Since they now like bathing in your sticky slime that might be awhile.” She smiles sweetly at him.

“You evil bitch! You tricked them. They could just roll new characters. Why would they become like this?”

“Cause silly. It takes thousands of dollars to make a new character and they would lose all the money and effort they made in making these ones.  When they prayed to someone to grow out their hair I of course helped them.”

“You swindled them. They don’t have long hair.”

“Well whatever they no longer care about it and growing out hair is such a tedious process.  Anyway have fun with them.  Try not to die too soon okay?” She says before disappearing.  Followed by many bald grinning women descending upon poor G8-41.

Next chapter blurb

Will this story pull an Evangelion and go from comedy to horror?  Will one of the nameless AI’s, entities and other mysterious strangers so far introduced come to our demon lord’s rescue? Will the author pull a saved by a prince inversion?  --A Young Maiden’s First Crush.

Ya the title kind of spoils it. Don’t worry the comedy will come back, The Great Demon King AI demands it!

PSA. No slimes were permanently killed in this series.  Although many are demanding higher pay for their sterling renditions of the Wilhelm scream.
