“Agh, turn the lights off, just 5 more minutes.”
…
I suddenly open my eyes from my own groans.
This is… I feel … odd?
Just 5 more minutes? I... that doesn’t sound like me, what does that even mean? Yet it doesn’t feel unnatural.
“Oh well!”
I shrug my worries away and got up on my feet and started some morning stretches.
“Ahh such a beautiful morning.” I said while stretching my back.
“the sun is out, birds are chirping, the trees dancing and-”
I take in a deep breath, “this refreshing forest air, nothing can be more soothing than this. You can never get this kind of fresh air in the city.”
...
In the city? I never came from a city, wait, I did live in a city, wait… what’s going on? My memory is playing up? No that can’t be possible. But it doesn’t feel unnatural at all, but it feels weird just like the moment I woke up.
“Agh, ok ok!”
I quickly slap my cheeks and cleared my mind.
“Fuuuu.”
I took another deep breath and breathed out.
Ok first, I started feeling weird this morning, my memories feels jumbled up. Let’s backtrack to yesterday.
So I arrived at the plains after starving for a week and ate a slime...
“Oh that's right!”
I just remembered, this odd voice popped into my head after I ate the slime and I planned to check my status after I slept.
“Let’s see let’s see.”
I pulled open my own status window in my mind, going over and looking for changes, I notice Otherworldly Knowledge and Blessing of God added. These were exactly the same as what was mentioned by the systematic sounding voice.
I look into what the Otherworldly Knowledge meant first.

//Otherworldly Knowledge - Knowledge obtained from a person belonging to a complete different world named Earth. The knowledge includes anything and everything the person has experienced before their death, their memories, as well as the person’s personality. Any being obtaining the knowledge will retain their own original knowledge, memories and personality and take on the additional knowledge, memories and personality creating a mix.
Special note: The skill is unique and can be passed on if the being holding the skill is consumed.//
I see, so this is why I obtained this odd skill, this also explains the odd feelings I’ve had since I woke up. So basically I have 2- no 3 personalities and memories mixed together…
“NOOOO!”
I clutch my head in thought.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait.
Does that mean I’m part slime now? I gained personalities and memories of a slime?

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.
