Khaos's POV

I closed my eyes and braced for impact...*CRRAAAASSSSSHHHH!!*...I shuddered and flinched...but there was no pain...there was no impact. I peeked open my eyes and what I saw surprised me. The large violet slime's attack was blocked by the normal slime. The collision knocked back both slimes. Taking advantage of this situation, I rushed towards the large violet slime and Dragon Swipe the slime. With one ferocious swipe, I was able to tear a large portion of the slime out. Seeing the slime core in the open, I grab my skinning knife and pierce through the core. With the core gone, the bonds that holds the slime in place are gone and the large slime collapses into many small violet slimes, which then collapses into slime gel. With a swoosh of my hand, I collected all the slime gel into a jar.

Then, I checked my surroundings to make sure there isn't any more threats before rushing over to the normal slime. Checking the slime, I can see that there was a crack in the slime core. There's no help...it's...it's dead. I got up and prepared to leave when I sensed a ghostly presence. I turned around and see a young male ghost!

"Who are you?" I asked in the Language of the Dead.

The young ghost surprised that he could understand me replied, "I am...the slime."

"What?!" I exclaimed, "How?"

"I somehow reincarnated into a slime...I used to be a villager before the Orc Army attacked."

"Reincarnation! That should be possible but not like your type."

"What do you mean?"

"When you reincarnate, you're soul becomes that of the new body. In other words, if you reincarnate from a human to a bird, then you're original human soul becomes a bird soul. To keep your original human form...is rare."

"I see." The young ghost sighed, "What's the point in knowing that? I've already died. It is nice knowing you...I guess this is goodbye."

"Wait!" I said as I stopped the ghost, "Do you want to live?"

"Yes! You have a way?"

"Naturally. But I can only resurrect you as a slime and the chance is slim. Do you want to take this chance?"

"Um...*sigh*...I'll do it."

"Ok."

Slime's POV

I rushed towards the large violet slime and crashed into it. *CRRRAAAASSSSHH!* The collision knocked both of us back. I didn't know I was that strong.... Ugh, the pain...I could feel something cracking. The vision is getting blurry. As I laid on the ground, I see sparkly lights like fireflies. Suddenly, a bright white flash...then darkness. Don't know how long has passed, but suddenly a mysterious voice called out to me. Immediately, my blurred trance broke and my vision became clear. I looked around and saw that the large violet slime was gone. I looked at the source of the mysterious voice and saw the human. Is he talking to me? Or rather, how can I understand him? I think he asked who I was...how should I reply....

"I am...the slime." I replied after some thought.

The human was surprised and asked me how that was possible. I told him that I was reincarnated and that I used to be a villager. After some short talk, he told me that he had a way to resurrect me but the chances are slim. I thought about it for a bit...I don't want to be a normal slime...but I don't want to go through reincarnation again, I mean who knows what I will turn into next.... After some thought, I decided to take the chance.

Khaos's POV

With the young ghost's permission, I used Essence Manipulation and controlled his spiritual essence into a vial. Then, I collected the young ghost's slime gel and slime core. Next, I opened Maker's Domain and started rummaging in my bag. I took out a jar of normal slime gel and mixed it with the young ghost's slime gel. Then, I take the vial of spiritual essence and poured it on the worktable. I added some Rhino, Giant Bear, Yeti, Wyvern, and Werewolf Bone powder. Mixing the powder-essence mixture into a few grams of melted Demon metal, I was able to make a liquid solution. I chanted a few incantations in order to fuse and mix the solution evenly. Then, I poured some of the hot solution into the crack of the slime core.

I chanted a few incantations to solidify and bind the solution to the slime core. Then, I take the remaining solution and wrap around the slime core - forming a layer. After chanting a few more incantations to bind the rest of the solution to the slime core, I added a drop of my blood filled with Maker's Essence. The blood spread throughout the core, turning it red. I chanted a few more incantations to make the blood blend with the core, magically enhancing it. Then, I place the core into the slime gel mixture and then added a few more drops of blood. After chanting some more, I completed the resurrection process. Now all that's left to do depends on the slime's willpower. I close the domain and placed the slime onto the ground.

Nothing happens for a few minutes and I worry that I might have failed the resurrection. However, all of a sudden, the slime started to jiggle. Then, unexpectedly, the slime turned into pure black color and then grew in size...but it did not look like a large slime. I appraised the slime to check its stats:

Name: ???

Title: The Devourer

Race: Polyp (can be evolved)

Affinities: Darkness, Unholy

Skills: Darkness Wave, Darkness Blast, Devour, Possess, Animate, Telepathy

Surprised, I analyzed the stats. Race - polyp...and can be evolved? Affinities to Darkness and Unholy?...well I guess that's possible. But to even have a Title?! Amazing!

I look at the slime and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Good. Thank you so much." The slime said...or at least that's what I heard in my mind...could this be telepathy?

"So, what will you do from now on? Will you follow me as a supporter?"

"Don't worry, I'll do my best. I won't let you down."

"Great! Let's call you Agaricus then. You can call me Khaos."

"Thank you...Khaos."
