Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Who am I?

Where am I?

What happened?

At this moment, Lu Minghao, who had just awakened from his advancement, was filled with these three questions. Just a few seconds after waking up, he found himself neither in the underground water vein nor in a crystal-clear stream, but in a strange place.

Surrounding him were walls of fleshy color, constantly secreting a grassy green viscous liquid. He could even see these fleshy walls constantly wriggling, and Lu Minghao's body floated back and forth with the swaying of the liquid beneath him.

"So, did something happen while I was asleep?"

Lu Minghao surveyed the bizarre scene around him. The fleshy walls that kept wriggling looked like real meat no matter how you looked at them, coupled with the constant secretion of liquid, there was always a sense of déjà vu.

Thump!

Suddenly, a purple snake with most of its body tattered fell not far from Lu Minghao. In just a few seconds, the long snake was completely dissolved in front of Lu Minghao, leaving only a skeleton.

"I was wondering why there was a familiar feeling, so it turns out I'm in a stomach."

At this moment, Lu Minghao finally understood where he had ended up. Most likely, he had been swallowed by a passing monster while he was asleep, and thus began a stomach adventure.

"But, why am I okay?"

The next second, a brand new question appeared in Lu Minghao's mind. He had just witnessed the power of those gastric juices. The snake had turned into a skeleton in just a few seconds, so why was he unharmed?

Lu Minghao lowered his head and examined his body. Compared to before the advancement, his body size hadn't changed much. However, his original sky-blue body now had a transparent feel, like a huge blue gem.

"I'm so beautiful!"

Lu Minghao looked at his brand new body and sincerely exclaimed. It was a dreamlike sky-blue, as clear as the sky, and within his body, glittering starlight flickered, like stars adorning the sky.

After confirming the changes in his body, a brand new talent panel appeared in Lu Minghao's eyes.

Name: Lu Minghao

Rank: Mid-level Demon

Race: Slime

Talent: [Encounter in Another World] (Red): Coming from another world, you possess truly infinite potential.

Ability 1: Plunder the origin of the world. When a certain level is accumulated, consume the origin of the world as a price to travel to other worlds.

Ability 2: When traveling to a new world, you will randomly gain a brand new purple talent.

[Gluttony] (Purple): You possess a bottomless stomach and digestive ability. Due to racial characteristics, you can devour both living beings and inorganic matter, and you will completely absorb the nutrients of the devoured matter to accelerate growth, and you have a chance to gain a portion of its abilities.

Ability 1: Imbue the endless hunger of Gluttony upon enemies.

Ability 2: Active: Convert subordinate, grant the power of Gluttony, possessing absolute control over the subordinate.

Passive: Automatically transform all surrounding life forms, imbuing the original sin of Gluttony. The hunger that can never be satisfied will cause them to devour everything before them, possessing absolute control over the transformed.

[Slime Constitution] (Blue-White): As a slime, you are born with a liquid-like body, and you can freely manipulate your body to change shape. You do not need to breathe or sleep, and you can eat with any part of your body, immune to some weak physical attacks, and possess the ability of asexual reproduction.

Branch Skill: [Acid Resistance]

[Demonic Essence] (Blue-White): This is the symbol of a demon's power. The qualitative change in Demonic Essence has allowed you to step into a brand new level.

Branch Skill: [Shadow Stealth]: Use Demonic Essence to transform your body's properties, possessing the ability to freely manipulate shadows.

[Illusory Bait]: Emits an irresistible alluring scent to those weaker than yourself, driving them into madness.

[Water Manipulation]: Integrates skills such as water flow propulsion, water blade, water flow movement, water mist, and water bubble, possessing the ability to manipulate water.

After advancing to a mid-level demon, Lu Minghao not only experienced a fundamental change in his Demonic Essence and physical strength, but also a brand new change in his abilities. Gluttony once again spawned new abilities, allowing him to actively transform demons or humans, even plants, into his own subordinates, and grant them the power of Gluttony, which is equivalent to a weakened version of 'Gluttony'.

The power of Gluttony allows subordinates to rapidly digest and absorb food after swallowing it, increasing their growth rate. In addition, there is a certain chance to gain the characteristics of the other party during the process of devouring food. This ability is somewhat similar to the unique skill of the Pig Head Emperor, but becoming Lu Minghao's subordinate will not strip away their reason and fear.

However, once they become Lu Minghao's subordinates, they will be completely dominated by Lu Qiming from soul to body.

Another derived ability is to passively transform everything around Lu Minghao's body, centered on Lu Minghao's main body, imbuing creatures with the original sin of Gluttony, who will lose their reason and devour everything in endless hunger, but are still absolutely dominated by Lu Minghao.

This ability is somewhat similar to the feeling of an unnameable monster, but Lu Minghao can choose to freely turn this thing on or off, and Lu Minghao guesses that this ability should be because he suddenly advanced this time and fell asleep without preparation, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again and encountering danger, instinct made Gluttony derive this ability.

Monsters imbued with the original sin of Gluttony will frantically devour and kill everything centered on Lu Minghao. It can be said that apart from Lu Minghao, anything or life that approaches will be killed and devoured completely.

"In other words, the monster that ate me has already been passively transformed by the new ability derived from Gluttony, becoming a monster dominated by hunger that has lost its reason. In addition, the newly acquired skill 'Water Manipulation' should be the ability I gained after devouring the food I ate during this time."

Lu Minghao looked at the brand new abilities on the talent panel. He originally thought that the biggest change in his strength from this advancement to a mid-level demon would be the further enhancement of his Demonic Essence and physical strength, but he didn't expect Gluttony to derive such an ability.

Now, Lu Minghao only needs to stay in a certain place, relying on the brand new effects of Gluttony, passively transforming all the life around him. Before long, everything around Lu Minghao will be transformed into monsters dominated by hunger, frantically devouring everything before them.

Moreover, looking at the effects of Gluttony's newly derived ability, a bold idea appeared in Lu Minghao's mind.

"Forget it, it's better not to court death. My current strength is not enough."

The next second, Lu Minghao shook his head and threw the idea of courting death out of his mind. Indeed, after seeing Gluttony's brand new ability, Lu Minghao, who immediately seeks revenge, thought about sneaking into a town in the Eastern Empire, relying on Gluttony's brand new passive ability to transform everything in the town into monsters.

But in this way, he might be noticed by the higher-ups of the Eastern Empire. Once they discover that all of this was caused by Lu Minghao, then they will most likely send out a strong person to either capture Lu Minghao back for experiments or kill him on the spot.
