The bright sky trembled as an interdimensional force tore space asunder. The rift opened a hole in reality, revealing the nothingness beyond the shadow of the world, where strange, unseen phenomena resided. Through the gap that lasted a mere instant, a meteor flew through the void and wrapped space around it with its exotic power.
The atmospheric drag heated the meteor until black flame enveloped it. Though it was radiating great heat that dried the sky grey, its size and speed weren’t lessening at all. It pushed through the sky with its mighty weight and headed towards the border of an empire and the outer edge of a great forest.
Once clashed into the ground, a blinding light shot skywards, announcing to the nearby lands the arrival of something terrible. The meteor then burst into a swarm of black particles, which congregated into a puddle of black liquid. It greedily consumed the leftover power then slowly turned into an ordinary-looking blue slime puddle.
After that came the silence. The impact let out no flame nor great shockwaves. Nothing other than the nearby surrounding felt the destruction, which faintly shook the trees and made a moderate hole on the ground, flipping the soil upside down and embedding exotic symbols onto it.
Some time later, the slimy blue puddle on the ground quivered as if it was boiling. The liquid shot through its surface tension and emerged into a feminine figure like a mermaid leaping out of the ocean. She morphed from an unrecognisable mass into a maiden-like body, made entirely out of the translucent slime.
Her blue silhouette melted and moulded as she collapsed then reform again and again. On her back, two masses of water spread into a pair of translucent wings before splashing into a rain of slime, which instinctively moved towards the main mass. In this random moment, a defined appearance of her past life slowly took shape.
After cycles of chaotic nonsense, the water calmed down and stopped its process. Its consciousness gradually seeped into every part of its body. A sign of life seeped into her dimmed body, filling her empty mind with her memory and the unknown sensation, reborn into a new world with a new kind of existence.
Prompted by the sunlight, Elizabeth opened her watery eyes. The soft, yellowish light refracted in her body, creating a highlight of her curves. They contrasted her silhouette against the lush surrounding. She touched her face and realised everything about her was slimy and translucent. She backed away and tripped, collapsing into a puddle of water. The thought of drowning pulled her up and reformed her figure.
Despite the fall, she felt no pain nor discomfort, like water which moulded its shape according to its container. After the initial panic, curiosity crept into her mind. She began to experiment with her new body, from reaching inside herself to creating more limbs for herself. She failed miserably but managed to calm herself down. She was now a Slime Girl, something she read in fiction. She, however, lacked the core, the weak point of the typical Slime Girl. She also was able to change her shape, but her control over it was abysmal.
“She didn't say anything about this body,” Elizabeth mumbled. Getting thrown into a new world was bad, but having a monstrous body was even worse.
Nevertheless, now was not the time to be complaining. Elizabeth shifted her attention to the surrounding. Aside from the empty meteoric site she stood on, everything was green with trees and bushes and flowers. The silence gave her the impression of a dark and dangerous place. It was the place where monsters would lurk, though now she was also one of them.
Suddenly, a series of constant muffled noises echoed from the bushes. Something moved among the greenery under the darkness, outside of her perception. The trees’ shades formed a dome that circled Elizabeth, concealing with it something alive and moving.
Like any reasonable young maiden alone in the forest, Elizabeth froze up. Her trembling body spilt water around her, but they crept back to her main body. She learnt to subconsciously manipulate her slime body, though it meant nothing in the situation at hand. She focused her sight on every tiny movement, each one capable of upsetting her weak silhouette.
The branches cracked as a figure pounced from the bushes. The noises resounded inside Elizabeth. She collapsed into a puddle of slime mixed with panic. She might have cried, but everything about her was already liquid. Guided by her instinct, she sprung from the puddle before tumbling on the ground once more. With her determination, she kept her body from imploding and stared at the figure in front of her.

A walking mass of yellow-tinted water advanced towards Elizabeth. She spoke in an unknown language then tilted her head at the lacklustre response. Her hostility-free expression somehow calmed Elizabeth, knowing that they were both Slime Girls, though she had just become one.
"What are you doing here? Where am I?" Elizabeth said. "I'm sorry, I should've introduced—"
The Slime Girl seized Elizabeth's waist and leant forwards. Her face closed in on Elizabeth, bringing strange tension into her soul. Their lower bodies merged into one giant puddle of two-coloured liquids, sharing their slimy sensation. Without any hesitation, their feminine yet bouncy lips met and fused.
Elizabeth's mind exploded. Her translucent body glowed light pink as confusion flooded her consciousness. She melted into a warm puddle, but the other Slime Girl held her shape and dove deeper into her body, permeating her with a strange, pleasant feeling.
The unknown heat dispersed into her consciousness. It was a peculiar sensation akin to drowning until she realised she could breathe underwater. Her mind gradually grew accustomed to it, which allowed her to understand what the Slime Girl was doing.
New information filled her consciousness, detailing to her the natural order of the new world.
Elizabeth didn't know how long she immersed herself in a wonderful yet wicked phenomenon. When she woke up, the Slime Girl in front of her had already detached herself, standing slightly away, observing every part of her body.
"Have you regained your memory?" the Slime Girl, Lenmia, said in the language of the Monster Girls, Qucentra. "You must have settled in your new body. Is there any discomfort?"
Elizabeth opened her mouth, but she failed to speak the new language she learnt. The pronunciation was unfamiliar to her previously human tongue. Only the blubbing of the water and the air inside her body echoed. She flushed, though her body didn’t collapse anymore.
"Don't worry. You'll learn how to speak soon. For now, let's go. I'll take you to our cave, where you can meet a lot of friends." Lenmia drew her hand forwards.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment before she reached out. She had nowhere to go and lacked the knowledge about this world, other than the most basic facts and Qucentra. She also felt at ease when she was near Lenmia, someone who was also a Slime Girl, someone of the same kind.
From afar, the forest was dark and gloomy. The leaf-filled trees obstructed the sunlight and softened the brightness of the world. Elizabeth, in her clumsy way, stumbled and dragged her puddle-like lower half across the ground. She attempted to form a pair of legs, but she couldn't control their shape yet.
Lenmia would encourage her like how a big sister. Their pace picked up after Elizabeth finally got used to her slimy body. It felt weird to have dirt and soils and leaves stuck into her body, but she quickly learnt to strengthen the surface tension and bounced them off.
"Hang in there," Lenmia said. "We're nearly at the cave."
Elizabeth nodded. Her mouth spread into a smile while her eyes darted everywhere. The scenery she went past was something she could never see in her previous world.
Aside from the usual thick trees and vines, some flowers glowed in the dark, waving their neon petals to attract insects and generated breezes. When Elizabeth came close, the flowers closed and ducked into the ground, hiding from the potential predators.
In the darkness where colours intensified and waved around, two Slime Girls blended in with the surrounding. In here, they were at ease, in the environment they should be. Not long from then, Elizabeth would be with her friends, other Monster Girls. She would greet them and maybe hug them, experiencing the joy of her new experience, like with that pair of lips.
She, as well as her thought, paused the moment she realised what had happened. Her hand moved to her lips before she forced it down. She lowered her gaze to the ground, then at Lenmia. It happened too fast for her to comprehend.
Lenmia noticed the sudden change and asked with concern. Elizabeth forced a formal smile and started walking again. Their pace quickened as Elizabeth sped up while keeping herself busy with her inner thoughts and morals. She came from a strict traditional family, where purity was a fundamental part of her identity.
She had kissed Lenmia. For the first time, she had done the forbidden. It was immoral, she was immoral. Her family would be incredibly disappointed in her, knowing that she kissed someone else before marriage, even if Lenmia was not a human or a male.
Elizabeth tightened the grasp. If her family found out—family? They couldn't find her here. They weren't here. In this strange new world, she could do whatever she wanted . . . ?
She could try all those things her friends did. She could lose herself under the fun she couldn't have—or could she?
Not knowing since when, Lenmia had come to a halt, facing Elizabeth with a perplexing expression. Despite lacking the fleshy pupils, her face was still feminine, brimming with energy and enthusiasm. Such energy inevitably infected Elizabeth, whose mouth crept into a natural, relaxing smile.
"Are you alright, dear?" Lenmia said and pulled Elizabeth closer.
Elizabeth raised her head and nodded. "Sister Lenmia, I'm fine."
Her voice was as clear as the sky and as playful as a goddess.
