11. New Companion

Gojo pov

After coming to his world, he thought about the kid and was happy to see his development.

'But I still have suspicious of his system like he got the system when he became insane and after that, he got this group chat phone. It seems like almost someone is controlling everything behind the scenes and they want to use Rudra.

If I guess is not wrong someone or a group is watching this group member's movements including me.

Well, for now, I don't think too much about it, let's check the rewards.

[1. Soul Restore wand

- this magical wand can restore any damaged or destroyed Soul. This wand can't be destroyed and if someone touched the wand without the owner's permission, they will face a 'Thousand years of death' punishment.

Current owner: Gojo Satoru.

2. Instant Curse energy techniques restoration

- this skill restores the Curse energy techniques. Even if the user uses the domain they can use his techniques without worrying.

3. 2000sp]

Wow, I can use Curse techniques even after I use my domain.

It seems I will become more strong.

With an annoying smile, he went to the sweet shop.

Slime pov

Today so many unpredictable things happened to me.

In front of me is an old dragon. His name is  Veldora, the Storm Dragon! He asked about me. So I decided to tell him.

Well, whatever. If he didn't believe me, I'd deal with it then. Summoning my resolve, I told Veldora everything that had happened to me so far Except the Group chat

.

.

I learned so much about this world from him.

That dragon, though. 

The more I stared at him, the more sinister and terrifying he seemed. And yet he didn't move a single inch. He mentioned a three-hundred-year-old seal, right? 

"By the way, Veldora, you said something about being…sealed away?"

"Mm? Ah. Yes, I perhaps underestimated my opponents. I got overpowered by them, but…well, it was rather too late by then!"

The dragon sounded almost proud of his losing performance. Magic was one thing, but I doubted there was a sword or lance in this or any other world that could scratch him. It wasn't as if I knew that much of this world yet—maybe it was crawling with horrifying monsters even more powerful than him, or something? 

"Was your opponents that tough?"

"She was…quite strong but her friend, 𝗛𝗲 is the strongest Hero I have seen. And he had different powers that I have never seen. They were what the humans call "heroes," ones blessed with so-called divine protection. 

A hero? My days in front of a game console had made me well familiar with that term.

Veldora continued,

"the heroes also said they were "summoned." Perhaps she hails from the same area as you."

"Oh? I dunno… Where I come from, nobody's that strong, you know?"

Wait! there are so many worlds! I have already met otherworld guys and completed a Quest. Maybe they are from one of those worlds.

"Perhaps, but many otherworlders come here bearing special powers. Powers that are chiseled into their souls during their journey. The summoned will always bear one such skill—a unique skill, one exclusive to them and them alone. Unlike the otherworlders who come here by sheer accident, these people bear a soul strong enough to withstand the stress of the summoning process. The fact that said summoning process so rarely succeeds in this world otherwise proves as much."

"When you say "summoning process," do you mean…magic, or whatever?"

"Precisely. A process requiring at least thirty magicians to conduct a ceremony that takes place over three days. It is rarely successful, but it is seen as a powerful weapon to have in one's arsenal, should the need arise."

A weapon? 

"Mm. Those summoned in such a manner are bound by a magical curse upon their soul, unable to resist the orders of their masters."

"Whoa? No human rights or anything?"

"Human rights? What rights would one possibly expect in this, of all worlds? Do not entertain such fantasies in this realm, little one. The only law that reigns here is survival of the fittest. Might, as they say, makes right."

Well, huh? If you got summoned to this world, no point hoping that your old values applied over here, I guessed. Bit hard to accept that. 

"So are you saying that otherworlders pretty much get treated like slaves here?"

"No. It depends. There is no Domination Stamp applied to them. If society accepts them, they are free to live their lives as they please. They can become adventurers or the like. Many otherworldy adventurers have sought my head… They learned the error of their ways soon enough! Hyaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!"

"How had the fight gone with these heroes? How do they look?"

Then he said about the male hero, His skin was white, and his long hair was also White, kept back in a single ponytail. He had red crimson eyes but in battle, his eyes became pure white. He had strange abilities And he was tall for a human. His face was covered by a Black mask. He had a sword and about his female friend, Her skin was pale in color, the dragon told me; her lips were bright red and small. Her long hair was a dark shade of silver, kept back in a single ponytail. She was slim, not that tall, rather small for a human. 

Her face was covered by a mask, but there was no doubting her beauty. I asked him whether this beauty was enough to distract him, whether he was too enrapt to defend himself properly. Enough of your nonsense! he bellowed back at me. 

She carried a long, curved sword. A "katana," it was called. She didn't bother with a shield. With her strong friend's support, she took advantage of two unique skills—Absolute Severance and Unlimited Imprisonment—and they become quite a powerful duo, as Veldora put it, "overwhelmed" him. There was more than a trace of nostalgic contentment in his voice, or so it seemed to me. 

Something I picked up on as we spoke was that this dragon… I think he liked humans. He kept calling them "wimps" and "garbage" and such, but from the way he put it, he never deliberately killed anyone who attacked him. Not unless they went out of their way to rile him. One time, three centuries ago—just one time, he emphasized—a certain chain of events made him reduce an entire city to embers. That was what made the people send heroes his way, and now—thanks to that hero's Unlimited Imprisonment—he was in his current predicament. 

So we kept talking—Veldora and I, dragon and slime, about all sorts of things. 

I must say Veldora is tsundere.

And at last, I got a new name, Rimuru Tempest. And my profile also changed.

Then I told him about Group chat. And I will not regret this. He is a good friend.

Let's see what rewards I got. But before I opened my phone, a screen came in front of me.

[~Ding

System Update

Completed ]

[-Host can Absorb Soul fragments of the characters and can awaken those characters' memories. If the host became too Absorbed in those memories. And Characters' memories will start to mix with the host's mind. Then the host can face BLEEDING EFFECT.

*BLEEDING EFFECT: The host will go under confusion, insanity, and Hallucinations at last the host will forget who he is. The more Host goes through memories, the Bleeding effect gets worst.

But if Host overcomes the bleeding effect then the Host will become stronger than those characters. But host behavior may change.]

[Eren Maxwell, Ken Kaneki Soul fragments are available. Do you want to absorb them]

This makes sense. If I get someone's memories I think I will go insane. I will think after seeing my rewards.

I opened my phone.

[1. One character spin

2. Slave card.

- when used on a target, they will become a slave with no freedom and follows every order of the User. Can be used on 10 targets

Note: Target must be weaker than User.

3. Aether weapon ]

Wow, it's good, WAIT! What is Aether Weapon? Is it a reality stone?

[Do you want to know about Aether of another world]

Yes

Then I received the information about Aether, it's not Reality stone.

Aether means- Mana is a liquid in a cup, changing to fit whatever shape, always moving and flexible. In this metaphor, Aether is the cup itself, stiff, unchanging without lots of force. It is solid, it will never change itself without some outside force

But I don't have aether, to begin with.

[the absorbed life force can be converted into Aether]

I see But what weapon have I got, then I summon the reward.

Then a creature appeared in front of me. It looks like a black wolf with horns protruding from its head, each twisting like a gnarled branch as it came to a sharp point behind its ears. I can see a purple aura around it.

"Greetings, my pitiful master. I am Regis, the mighty weapon and I will be a partner in your journey," it said

'A talking dog' was the only thing that came into my mind.

"How rude. How can you compare my Majestic existence to a mere dog?"

"I am sorry"

"Forgiven you"

I nodded Wait did he read my brain?

'Yes master' I creeped out when I heard his voice in my brain

'How'

'Because I am connected to your soul'

I think I should say goodbye to my privacy.

'Hahaha, Don't worry I'm not into men's, I like women with large boobs'

Shit shit I got a pervert in my soul.

Then I pressed in my system to absorb Eren Maxwell's memories and his mutant powers.
