Evolution of Slime to Peak

The old man swiped his hand. Countless light fluter in the air and turned into small lasers that zoomed toward Ren.

Ren in his human form jumped and dodged the attack. Doing a backflip midair he landed and stretched his arm.

Despite having human-like skin, his arms stretched like rubber. His long arms despite being 10m further from the enemy, reached them.

He moved his arm. The arm moved at the mages at great speed that even slice down the tree.

With a click of his finer, the young man summoned a staff and cast shied around him. The arm hit the shield, but couldn't break it.

He retracted his hand and glared at the humans with great hate.

"Grrr"

Like an animal, he gritted his teeth. He bent down and put his hand on the ground. With four feet, he ran at them. The speed was faster and in just a blink of an eye, he appeared before the young man.

The young man took a step back and blinked in surprise before striking Ren with his staff.

The staff didn't break nor did Ren was pushed backward. The force that hit him gave some damage but Ren's skin was thick.

He opened his palm in a form of a claw and tried to stab the young man with his big blue nails. But the young man cast a defensive shield on his body, so the finger couldn't cause that much damage.

The old man beside didn't stay idle. A fireball hit Ren and he jumped back.

The old man opened his arm and countless fireballs appeared in the sky. Those all poured down in a line toward Ren.

Ren's body stretched. He easily ate the fireball.

[Fireball]

[Gluttony Second Power, Analyze has been used]

[Fireball - A magic created from fire. The fire wrapped around itself and make a ball, that will explode on impact with anything. Generally, a low-level spell, but its size depends on the amount of mana poured into it]

[Runes have been scanned]

[Fireball with size customizable learned]

A blue screen flashed in front of Ren's eye, but due to him being vicious and fierce, the screen dispersed without Ren batting an eye on it.

Ren jumped and stretched his hand and leg. Those hands and legs tried to hit the two men but they all blocked it9 and returned a blow to him.

The fireball combined with an ice spear hit Ren's chest.

But, he jumped back and those wounds healed at a speed that could be seen with naked eyes. Some blue liquid fell but dissipated the moment it touched the ground.

The two men nodded and cast a big spell.

A golden defensive shield surrounded them and two of them raised their hand to cast a dual spell.

A big red ball formed in the sky that was covered with sparks of dark energy. The red ball had dark spots and generated great heat that melted down the trees.

As the ball descended toward Ren, an ear-deafening explosion occurred.

Big light surrounded a 10km radius and everything inside the 10m area was burnt into ashes.

The two men nodded satisfied and left the area unscattered. They didn't even look that tired and despite being inside the white light, they were perfectly fine.

They didn't care about Ren as they thought he was probably dead and moved on.

************

In the center of the explosion, a huge crater was formed. Inside the crater, nothing but brown soil existed that was covered with dark ashes.

The soil moved as blue particles moved and protected the black stone. The black stone floated in the air along with blue substances.

The black stone was heavily protected as a layer of blue substance piled around it. After that, a ball of blue substance was formed.

The blue ball spread out and took the shape of a human. The blue slimy particles turned fleshy and a human girl appeared, or that Ren looked like on the surface.

His body was genderless.

"What the hell happened?"

He put his palm on his forehead and was stunned.

"How come I have human hands?"

He stare at his palm, no, he examined his whole body.

"When the hell did I get the human body?"

He realized he had a gap in his memories.

But he clearly remembered the despairing event in Arashi village.

"...Let's not think too much." He didn't think too much, as he didn't have a heart.

He had a human sense, that's why he could feel joy and happiness, but that was only an illusion. He felt many weird senses. He wanted to cry, but...

"Like that time too...I just can't shed tears. It means...I can't move on... not from this."

He smiled. A smile full of sadness and a glimpse of his dark past.

"Just why am I the one suffering...Just why?"

He wanted to cry, he wanted to pour his emotion. But, he failed.

As he didn't have a heart, he couldn't feel sad. But despite having a heart, he was unable to cry. He even wondered why.

With a bitter expression, he stretched his arms.

"Hah...What should I do now?"

He had many memory holes, so he didn't realize where he was nor did he knows why he was in the crater. The smell of ashes drifted on his face.

"Let's move out first."

He jumped.

He realized he could jump too high now. As he was wondering, a system-like interface twinkled in front of him.

[System Interface - Gluttony Creation]

<Skill(s): [Elemental Control, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Jump, Transformation>

<Gluttony Special: Analyze>

"Wow..."

His eyes glimmered. But he was soon disappointed as there were no indicators of his stats like strength, mana, or even hp.

"The cause of the destruction of the village...I need to find it. I need to take revenge. I want to take revenge...But. I need to grow strong." While he couldn't feel anger, he was still in a rage. The fire inside his heart hasn't been extinguished.

His face was full of determination.

As he jumped from one tree to another, he was ignorant of the gazes he gained.

************

[Relationship: (Brother - Unkown)]

Two people looked at the fleeting shadow and smiled.

The girl in the carriage smiled creepily as she put her palm on her face.

"Ren, I have finally found you. I knew you were in this world. Don't worry, I will protect you! I will destroy this world, and create a place... just for us... Yeah, I will kill all your enemies, kill all the annoyance, but for that, I need to be strong. Wait for me...I will come for you."

She smiled while drooling. Her eyes sparkled as her expression was scary.

On the other hand, in another carriage.

"Ren, my brother. Get ready as I have found you. I will kill you here... But, get strong first. You are so weak for now."

The boy smiled creepily with his face full of evil thoughts.

The two people have locked their eyes on Ren.

One full of love and one full of hatred.

Will Ren meet his enemy or the person that loves him? What awaits his future?

*******************End of Volume 2 - The War *******************

The war, actually the war between humans and demons is still continuing. It was only the peek that caused the destruction of Arashi.

In the next volume, I will try to make Ren smarter and more cunning. Also, making him mature is my goal. So, I hope I would get the advice from you all.

And hope, the next volume will be full of praise.

So, guys, please suggest your opinion on how should I make Ren mature.

Some suggestions will be helpful.
