Looking at my wife in her new form she seamed to be looking at me in mine, I was the first to speak. "are you ...ok?"

"I mean... technically." she said still looking at me.

"what dose that mean?" I asked concerned.

"I mean it's a lot to take in." She said gesturing at everything including my new look.

"oh... uh do you like it?" I asked gesturing to my new face. "I mean I could change it again soon... shouldn't be to hard."

She looked at it for another few moments. "yeah... no its fine il get used to it."

I glanced at her body "I l miss the old you..." I said half feeling like an asshole half hoping she would think it a little sweet that I liked her as her not like others would think of as "hot".

"Well they said I had too, the slime was eating me so there was less to work with" she said.

I frowned at that. "from what I think I know I think they lied to you... I just did my change before you got out and I could have ben an 8' tall blue horned jennie"

"oh..." she grimaced "glad you didn't."

"yeah I tyred to look like me just less fat so you wouldn't be to confused when you woke up."

"yeah... why am I floating?" she asked.

"oh shit." I said and let her drift down to the sand. "I lifted you up so you wouldn't get dirty or wet."

"ok... thanks I guess."

"yeah..." I said looking at her clothes that didn't fit anymore and clearly half hung off her.

"so... what now?" she asked

I moved to her quickly her eyes widening in a whats this way, as I pulled her in for a hug moving my hands under her shirt to touch her skin to really feel it like I used to.

Her skin was the only one that didn't hurt in some way to touch and I had to be sure, so I held her my had feeling the soft lightly warm soothing feeling I had hoped her to keep.

I held her taking a long breath through my nose half to smell her to see if I could use the animal part of my brain to sense if anything was wrong with her, while also just trying to keep my heart from racing to much.

She still smelled like her, a little bit of spice and brown skin and softness.

Letting out the long breath as she hugged me back I said softly "im sorry... you could have died you clearly got hurt fuck... im sorry. Im working on ways so you can not get hurt again."

She moved her own arms feeling out my thinner back and sides. "yeah you fucked up." she said then gave me a kiss. "but you didn't know the ants were filled with a slime that could grow from even a smudge."

I kissed her back then she let me kiss her deeply sliding my tongue into her mouth. We enjoyed the kiss and I think we were both proving to ourselves and each other that we were in fact the same people.

After a few golden moments she pulled away. "So... in the dream, thing? I don't know what you want to call it. I got a quest to kill some dragon?"

"yeah. Iv got him" I said pulling out the card me and lu had imprisoned the guy in. "Lu should be back home by now, Iv gotten 2 more world portals a fake New York and a cavern I haven't really explored yet. He was in the subway trapped, so I had Lu level up so that he could turn the thing in this card. So if im right about what your slime symbiosis is like you should be able to absorb things rimuru style right?"

"I couldn't a first but tutorial helped me learn how." she said "but I don't known if I could eat a whole dragon."

"well I can give points so how many points do you need to be able to absorb anything?" I asked imp reminding me that I had 56 points.

After a moment to look it up she said. "the most expensive one I can see is 40 for all of the above in the magic items, items, raw materials, living things, magic living things, and magic spells."

"sweet. cheaper then I thought it would be." I said then sent her the 40 points. "any thing else you'd want to get?"

"I don't think so." she said spending the points and her body stiffened for a moment a ripple going through it before she relaxed.

"what was that?" I asked.

"what? ...oh it happens when I spend points." she said "I ts like my mussels relax and unclench all at once, like getting into a hot shower or getting a massage all at once."

"oh... ok. Mine feels like cold water but I didn't think others could see it happen like that." I said thoughtfully.

She held out her hand giving a half shrug. "dragon?"

"oh yeah here." I said handing over the card.

Imp behind me saying "last chance stop her go kill that fucker and get all the powers you want, you can give her a whole world, make your own, live how you want forever just kill that fucking one guy."

Eva saw my face an frowned hesitating. "whats wrong?"

"oh... I got a little floating demon thing for a quest that has a some good powers of its own instead of the blue boxes, but it has a personalty and its fucking annoying at times." I said glaring at imp who folded her arms and stuck out a tongue. "dont worry about it."

"ok?" she looked confused taking the card holding it as the glowing blue slime appeared from her palm rose up and covered the card nearly as soon as it was encased it started to bubble and dissolve like an antacid tablet. In the last seconds before it disappeared it started to shift as if fighting back a faint sound of rage could be heard before it vanished with a small pop.

"what was that?" Eva asked.

"I think it was trying to fight in the end." I said glancing up at imp.

"quest failed" she said looking distant. "curse of the slow path set you now have a list of powers you can never have and points now have restrictions pertinently set against you."

"some bullshit." I said shaking my head. "I had a quest to kill Lu to get the power to give myself any power I wanted."

Eva frowned "why?"

I raised my hands. "beats me but I cant get some powers now or buy some things because of not killing him."

"odd..." she said as her own pop up windows appeared reading over it she frowned as if confused, before a new window appeared and she ginned "yohsa!" she cried out hitting accept her odd level ups washing over her.

"quests complete. help Lu capture the dragon. reward modify powers before granting them. quest complete: help Eva kill the dragon rewards take small shards of powers from others. quest complete: don't kill the dragon reward the power to give powers you already have to others...." Imp said still sounding a little robotic "hidden quest complete. chose a friend over your own power, reward create and give shards of power to others."

"what?" I tried to ask but the power ups started to kick in and my body felt smashed by a large wave of cold water seaming poring over and through me. I lost my footing being knocked down from it slightly overwhelmed.

After it was over I needed a moment to catch my breath next to me Eva said. "well that's dramatic."

"what is?" I asked standing back up feeling a little bit dizzy.

"you had a hole bunch of water drop onto you. it looked like a prank, so much water just falling onto you all at once." she said

"oh... it doesn't normally feel that intense." I said glancing at imp who just looked way face blank. "so im sure it doesn't normally look like that."

"well that's good I guess..." she said reading over her screens looking a little exited then disappointed.

"what?" I asked her

"oh... when I killed the dragon I got a domain, I thought it would be like sims but it sounds like its not quite at that level. Its 100 yards wide and I can make basic stuff, grass, stone, dirt, that sorta stuff, and control the weather and what the walls look like... but no buildings or anything else."

"huh...." I said "well from the sounds of it the powers I just got are all meta powers. Take weaker powers from people, give people full power powers that I already have, modify the powers I can give, and if I heard imp right, now I can give weak powers I don't even have."

She frowned at me. "so... like any power?"

"I don't know yet I’d have to ask imp." I said "wanted to talk to you more."

"ok." she said a little confused. "well... I need clothes."

"ah ...right." I said eyeing her thinking 'vector crafting include clothes?'

"all kinds of crafting." imp said "so yeah that too."

"cool." I said out loud. "looks like I can make you new ones."

Eva looked confused but I just opened a portal to our bedroom from the doorway making sure it was closed and locked before walking in not hearing the tv I assumed Lu was ether asleep or still in the other world.

I walked though glancing back at Eva "got to hurry I'm locked out of making portals permanent."

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

"ok?" she said hoping through so I could close it.

"yeah it seams kinda random." I said looking through the draws of clothes for things to use vector crafting to take apart and re-sow up imagining the threads neatly flying out and cloth cutting to the right size before flying back together as new clothing, when I had a thought. 'that's fucking dumb just give her a power.'

Glancing up at imp to make sure it wasn't her she just shook her head a little "nope all you."

I looked back to Eva thinking. 'give Eva the power to make any non-magic clothing she wants.'

A blue pop up box appeared before her she read it for a moment she glanced up at me. "its asking me if I want to accept your power of non magic clothing making."

"interesting... I thought it would just give it to you... hang on" I said then tried to send 'unlimited clothing making of limitless power' to her and got a sharp spike in the side of my head.

"you know you cant do that." Imp said.

I tried 'magic clothing making' then 'magic shoe making' to see if it would be weaker if I chose just one part of the clothing. Then even tried one shoe none worked, so I told her to go ahead and accept the first power.

Looking a little miffed that she couldn't just accept it in the first place she got the power. "tried to cheat and couldn't huh?"

"for now." I said thinking 'how many points to give objects powers?'

"25" imp said "and you cant just give people powers without there agreement so you don't try to weaponize it."

"damn..." I said right as Eva was taking her old clothes off.

"dont sound be so disappointed." she said

"no... I was finding out the limits of my new powers." I said. "and I cant give people powers with out them accepting so I cant give some one the power to control there own vectors but mixed with trap power so that there hearts explode when they blink."

"shame." she said flatly.

"yeah... I know." I said getting that she didn't want me to do that but also that she knew I was disappointed I couldn't if I wanted to.

She summoned clothes over he naked body, a simple t-shirt and pajama pants with cloud patterns. After a moment she shifted her shoulders and moved her legs before crying out in joy. "FINALLY A BRA THAT FITS!"

I was smiling at her shoulder wiggle guessing that was what she was doing. "comfortable?"

"yes, finally" she said lifting each foot so that she could put shoes and socks on them.

"good." I said then gave her a kiss "So you said you got a lot of things off the dragon?"

"yeah I didn't think a dragon would have all that stuff in it." she said waving the blue box in-front of her. "here il just let you look at it." she moved it around so I could see it I wasn't sure before if I could read other people's boxes or if you could let others but now I had another trick to pull on people latter.

"damn... you weren't kidding." I said looking over her new list of powers.

Dragon Shape, Agelessness, Supernatural Condition, Supernatural Enhanced Senses, Thermal Vision, Fear inducement, Fearlessness, Magic Resistance, Claw, Wing, Tail, Fang, Horn, Scale manifestation, Omnilingualism, Thermal Resistance, Elemental breath, Fire generation, and Flight.

Looking into detail on Supernatural Condition it read as full body boost level 7 to my mind meaning she was probably strong enough now to walk through brick walls like smoke and fight tanks like they were puppies.

"So according to this your practically immortal." I said shaking my head.

"well... yeah that was before the dragon." she said pulling back the screen and pulling up her slime's ability list.

Physical Augmentation, Slime Manipulation, Adaptive Regeneration, Regenerative Healing Factor, Disease Immunity,Absorbing Replication, Self-Sustenance, Pain Suppression, Powerful Dissolving Slime.

"Adaptive regeneration? Adaptive regeneration! You should have ben able to kill that dragon on your own after a while. FUCK! did it start out with that?" I was yelling a little exited to see such a strong power.

"no, those 14 points you gave me went a long way, I got the healing factor, that, and the self sustenance thing." she said "She said the slime mite start eating me if I used it to much unless I had some way to feed it."

"Ah... fuck that sounds terrible with out that boost." I said

"Yeah." she stated "the other way sounded like it would try and like, sweat out of my body and just eat everything around me until I healed, didn't sound much better."

"No your right." I said thinking about her powers and then tutorial "so did you get a chance to talk with the spirit?"

"tutorial? Yeah she was told me about how I needed a new body and how my power worked then helped me learn not to just destroy the things my slime touched but to be able to touch and then become what it ate." She said seaming to get board with this looking at her phone to see if she missed any txts or calls.

"anything els? like she told me I had an annoying brain and broke rules even with out powers." I said noticing

"Oh... you know just the world was fucked and so they thought they'ed put there magic dicks in." she said a little angrily

"what?" I asked glancing at imp who got a blank face.

"they said people fucked the world so they shoved there magic dick into the pot spreading there magic around cus hell why not?" she said "now do I need to be here to so you can give me the power upgrades?"

"yeah..." I said after a nod from imp. "looks like it and if you just give me a minute I should be able to help you improve your pocket space."

She perked up at that as I stepped past her and headed to find Lu.

Using my find power I felt him in the fake new york portal I had left open in the utility closet.

"he's in fake new york." I said over my shoulder. "its got a time dilation hour to a day and resets every 7 hours, its also got a lot of magic items and modern items, so if done right you should be able to absorb them all."

"great... how meany are really worth it?"

"...for you prob..." I tried to think about it remembering all the items iv seen. "maybe one or two. I'm not sure yet if they need electricity for the TVs and things, but with the card power upgrade you wont need it. Trouble is if I take the power its only a small fraction of what it should be... Unless... how much for the slime to also have any powers its owner has?"

"why? whats the point?"

"The point is if you buy that then I can get a chunk of the moon in the beach world that should let you make more slimes and then if we trade them we should have full power all each others powers." I said

"oh..." she pulled up her screens. "looks like 15"

"hmmm.... not bad." I said thinking of how that also meant I would have my own pocket world with the full 100 yards instead of what ever smaller power I would get.

"but how would we let them bind us just to bind to each other?" she asked hitting accept after I sent her 15 of my last 16 points.

"that's were absorb comes in." I said "we should be able to absorb a little bit of the slime of each other to get the powers."

"would that work?" she asked

I glanced at imp who looked pissed but nodded. "looks like thats a yeah..." I said then sent her the power to see imp along with the power to communicate with me from anywhere.

She saw them frowning "im not sure I want to see your imp thing."

"I think it’ll help in the long run." I said she sighed a little and accepted.

"Also how are you supposed to call ME?" she asked.

"....fuck good point." I said thinking about it "I guess..."

I sent her the power to know when I wanted to talk to her.

"come on that'll go off all the time." she said hitting no on the new pop up.

"I mean you got a point..." I said then sent her the power for her to know when I think about talking to her 3 times.

"ok... that one will work" she said hitting the accept for it.

"Good now if you wouldn't mind stepping over to the new york before going to your pocket world, so you can have plenty of time in there." I said then remembered a plan from earlier and gave her the power to change the size of objects. "and maybe go shopping, see if you can find anything good."

I sent her my power to find things along with a mini map power that would help her find and know what she mite have to fight.

"ok, I think thats enough" she said hitting accept. "I v got enough powers as is and its getting hard to keep track I just want to get my sims world started then maybe write a little."

"...ok. I mean I thought those powers would help you set it up and help you navigate the new york." I said

"yes thank you, but I'd better go now before you start sending me powers just so you can have them when the slime thing spreads to all of us." she said tiredly.

"I mean... whats wrong with that?" I asked.

Imp flew down "because soon you'll get something telling you, you cant do that if you keep pushing it."

"there you go." Eva said giving a little grimace at imp "anyway I want to go to the beach you said there's a exp boost there right?"

"oh yeah... here" I said sending her my 10 point boost and trying to send her the most powerful training boost I could.

"an x11.5 training boost?" Eva "why the .5?"

"huh." I said "I was trying to make it as powerful as I could, I guess that was the most power I could give you."

"ok... but that stacks with the beach right?"

Imp said "yeah but you would need a way to keep the door open to let the mana in, in order to get the effects and it would only be at half power so only a 15x boost plus the 11 so 26x"

"ok... so how do I do that?"

"with the way the pocket space is set up its more like a bag of holding you just slide through into it, you would need portal powers in order to do it." Imp said

Eva looked at me, as I was already sending her the power to make portals and keep them open permanently.

She accepted the new powers.

I frowned before opening the beach portal and hopping in. "ok, so is there a way for her to make that boost part of her world, and how long till I get to the moon? This moon I mean."

Imp looked up thinking. "I think 30 minutes, and yes but points."

Eva walked in after me and saw her own pop up. "ok..."

"well?" I asked badly wanting to know.

"its 50 for a x50" she half laughed shaking her head. "but only if I set it so that you can’t get it, if I don't its 100 for a x50."

"THE FUCK?" I yelled mostly at imp who just gave a smirk and half shrug. "your 'special' remember?"

Eva laughed a little at that along with imp.

I glared a little at them but was enjoying Eva's laugh "ok so what are you going to go to kill some stuff in the new york portal to get the points?"

"maybe..." Eva said then grimaced "but fighting..."

"yeah... well you never fought so I get why you wouldn't want to, the x26 boost for now should be fine just play around with that until I get back from the moon then il help you figure out fighting."

"I mean... I guess." Eva said squinting then opening a portal to her own realm right now it just showed black with the light of the moon reflecting what looked like a black stone floor.

I grabbed her in a hug then gave her a kiss before letting her go to the portal. "maybe think of some other upgrades you'd want to put in your world like your own time dilation."

"I don't think that's quite necessary, at least at this level" she said looking into the portal as if already thinking about what kind of grass she wanted as I watched it grew up and spread from the portal.

"nice well see you soon." I said

"latter" she said stepping into the portal.

I looked up at the moon. "so whats faster portal spamming or just rocket manning it."

"well portals only go so far and with as fast as you can move now making a portal going through then getting your bearings then trying again would be only slightly faster."

I sighed pocketing the portal back to earth then looking up and making a portal as far away as I could then going through and doing it again really wanting to get my portals more powerful. Maybe even enough to portal to my earth moon and back but I admit that I saw portals on the banned powers list from the curse of the slow path.

"will giving the story making power effect Eva if she tried to write?" I asked imp making portals and flying through

"not if she doesn't want it to." imp said "The story power is more a power I have than you, think of it like a computer that exists just to make the stories for you so when you gift the power its like giving them a copy of the computer."

"ok..." I said and she started up the story again as I kept portaling my way through.
