Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

In the early morning, the once lush forest had transformed into a desolate wasteland. Black flames raged across the dark earth, and in the center of this fiery abyss, a figure lay dormant, surrounded by countless flames. Her long, straight black hair spread across the ground, and her pale skin resembled the frigid white snow atop a timeless mountain.

Within the flames, the girl's tightly closed eyes slowly fluttered open, revealing black pupils that burned with a dark fire. Her exquisite and beautiful face was filled with coldness and lifelessness. Her appearance evoked not a trace of endearment, but rather an overwhelming sense of hatred.

A hatred that seemed to want to burn the entire world to ashes...

In the black sea of fire, Nina slowly raised her palm. The dark flames flowed over it with utmost obedience, as if they were an extension of her own body. At this moment, Nina understood the true nature of the power she had gained – a flame born from the boundless hatred within her soul.

The person she once was had perished, leaving behind only an empty shell, devoid of everything. Her soul had been transformed into a flame of vengeance.

"Kainas..."

The next moment, Nina turned her head towards Kainas's corpse in the distance. A trace of sorrow appeared on her cold face as she slowly walked forward and cradled Kainas's body in her arms. Black flames ignited in Nina's hands.

Within the flames, Kainas's tender body gradually turned to ashes.

"Tears... It seems I have lost the right to weep."

Watching the ashes slowly dissipate, Nina raised her hand and caressed her cheek. Her smooth skin bore no trace of moisture. She had forgotten how to cry; all that remained was the endless hatred within her heart.

"If that is the case, then from this moment forth, I am the vengeful witch. The flames of vengeance shall incinerate everything!"

As Nina spoke, the black sea of fire began to surge. Countless flames gathered around her, as if celebrating the birth of their queen. The flames formed into black armor, leaving behind only the desolate earth. From that moment on, Nina, the human, had completely vanished, replaced by a vengeful witch named Nina.

Under the golden sunlight, the vengeful witch stepped out of the desolate wasteland. Ahead lay a vibrant forest teeming with life; behind her, a dark and lifeless expanse...

......

Meanwhile, deep within the forest of the Blooms Kingdom, inside a small wooden cabin...

The morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the cabin, illuminating the entire room. A little girl slept soundly on the worn wooden bed, a happy smile on her face, her small mouth moving as if she were saying something. She tightly clutched a sky-blue slime in her arms.

"Hey, hey! Sally, drool, drool! It's dripping!"

The moment Lu Minghao opened his eyes, he saw the glistening saliva dripping from the corner of Sally's mouth. Her small mouth mumbled words like 'I can't eat anymore'. Seeing the drool getting closer and closer, and realizing Sally showed no sign of waking up, Lu Minghao quickly scrambled out of Sally's embrace.

"Minghao, what are you doing?"

On the bed, after Lu Minghao left her embrace, Sally groggily opened her eyes, rubbed her big eyes, and looked at the round slime beside her. A simple smile appeared on her face as she picked up Lu Minghao, held him in the air, and asked.

"Of course, I'm getting away from that thing."

Lu Minghao stretched out a small hand and pointed to the glistening saliva at the corner of Sally's mouth and the pillow that was visibly wet. Sally blinked her big eyes and looked in the direction Lu Minghao was pointing. Her face instantly turned red, and she buried her face directly into Lu Minghao's body.

The soft and elastic body made Sally subconsciously nuzzle against him, but halfway through, Sally remembered that Lu Minghao had pointed at the corner of her mouth earlier, and quickly put Lu Minghao down, lowering her head and not daring to look at Lu Minghao again.

"....Alright, time to go find today's food."

Lu Minghao helplessly looked at Sally, who was lowering her head and only daring to peek at him. Faced with this situation, what else could Lu Minghao do but forgive her? Anyway, he had encountered all sorts of things in the sewers.

"Hehe, Minghao, you're the best."

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Sally quickly raised her small head, hugged Lu Minghao, and rubbed her face against him repeatedly, her small face filled with a silly smile. If the villagers in the nearby village saw Sally like this, they would definitely wonder if they were still dreaming.

Lu Minghao looked at the giggling Sally, and a smile also appeared on his round body. Since yesterday, Sally had suddenly become very dependent on him, but Lu Minghao didn't dislike this feeling.

They were similar beings...

Under the warm sunlight, deep in the forest, a girl who was not even ten years old was holding a slime in her arms, a tattered wooden basket hanging on her arm. Her short legs skipped and hopped across the grass, and she would occasionally catch a butterfly, show it to the slime in her arms, and then stuff it directly into the slime's body, watching the butterfly slowly dissolve.

"So amazing, so it really can be eaten."

Sally blinked her big eyes, filled with curiosity and envy, as she watched the butterfly disappear inside Lu Minghao's body. During dinner last night, Sally was worried that Lu Minghao wouldn't have enough to eat, and wanted to share her food with him, but Lu Minghao said that he didn't need it, and if he really needed it, that little bit of food wouldn't be enough.

At that time, after hearing that the little bit of food wasn't enough, Sally almost cried. Her eyes reddened as she promised Lu Minghao that she would work hard in the future to make sure Lu Minghao had enough to eat.

Seeing Sally who was almost crying, Lu Minghao also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly said that he wasn't hungry, and that he could digest anything, and even performed eating dirt for Sally on the spot, which is why Sally was now feeding Lu Minghao butterflies.

In her words, it was, if she had already caught them, it would be a waste not to eat them.

"By the way, Minghao, do you want to eat this?"

The next moment, Sally giggled and pulled out a half-meter-long snake from behind her, and waved it in front of Lu Minghao. In fact, this was what Sally had originally wanted to catch, and the butterfly was just a bonus.

"Save it for your extra meal later."

Lu Minghao looked at the small snake wriggling in Sally's hand. A thin ice spike appeared out of nowhere and froze the snake's twisted body. The sudden change startled Sally, and she subconsciously let go of the already stiff snake.

"Is this magic?"

The next moment, realizing that Lu Minghao had done it, Sally's big eyes fluttered as she looked at the slime in her arms. Having scavenged for food in the garbage dumps since she was a child, she had also seen adventurers wearing armor or robes and carrying all kinds of weapons on the streets.

Especially the magic used by adventurers, Sally had once envied it immensely, fantasizing that she could also use magic, because as long as she had such power, she would never have to worry about the food she had finally found being snatched away by wild dogs, or she could rely on herself to hunt and fill her stomach.

In short, for Sally, magic was the power that could keep her from starving.

To put it simply, magic = being full.
