ZRtech: Hello Doktor! what was this about paying for my time?
TheDoktor: I'll pay $500 for a 30-minute session. I just want a chance to make a proposal.
ZRtech: Ok, you have me for a half hour.
TheDoktor: Splendid! I've made the payment to your PayBuddy account.
TheDoktor: Are you ready for the pitch?
ZRTech: It's your dime. Hit me.
TheDoktor: Nice Johhny Mnemonic reference. Is that an official request? Better consult with H first. I'll wait.
ZRtech: H? What are you talking about? A little less cryptic, please.
TheDoktor: I can't come out and say it directly since the other H is reading this, The H with the antlers is the one I mean.
ZRtech: I thought you said this was a secure chat.
TheDoktor: The chat isn't the issue. It's about the transcript, later on.
ZRTech: Ah, the one from the forest. Got it.
TheDoktor: Wouldn't do to give up your moonlight job.
ZRtech: Who's this other H you mentioned?
TheDoktor: If you accept my proposal you'll meet him later.
ZRtech: Sure. I'll be back online in a bit.

ZRtech: H thinks it's a bit ambitious, but he's willing. He says you'll owe us both.
TheDoktor: I agree to those terms. Ready?
ZRtech: Hit me.

ZRtech: You and H are both jerks. That hurt! Obviously, you've been messing with my interface device. I'm not even going to ask how at this point.

ZRtech: I'm still waiting for the proposal. That new pile of crap in my head is not a proposal.
DoktorUrmind: I want to help you in developing your interface. I'd like to buy some of them once they are more portable.
ZRTech: Help how?
DoktorUrmind: I have technical staff and lots of money. I'd like to pay you to continue working on your interface full time.
DoktorUrmind: I could make it a nonprofit grant if that makes you feel any better.
ZRtech: Are you proposing that I leave my current job and do just this?
DoktorUrmind: Yes, I meant your day job. By all means, keep doing the other thing.
ZRtech: I need to consult with my wife, of course. I keep the rights and I want a million guaranteed up front. I am so glad that weird doesn't bother me much anymore.
DoktorUrmind: Can't do anything about the wyrd. Where do you want the money sent?
ZRtech: Green Forrest Treasury. I have to go talk to Kithera. Catch you later.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!
