Authority

[The Monkey King asks you if you are something weird]

[The Monarch of the Beginning tells you that it was fun seeing you writhe in agony from absolutely nothing, but he is extremely curious and asked you what you're doing suddenly laughing and hurting and the same time.]

[The Forgotten Dragon King is concerned for your health, mentally and physically]

[The Goddess of night is giving you a suspicious glance]

I ignored the constellations and focused on my skills.

«Confirm: data from the skill has been obtained. A few Extra skills can be obtained through the data: Shadow save, Ruler's Authority, Spiritual Body Manifestation, and Shadow Exchange»

Those are all original skills from Ashborn, the first-ever shadow Monarch.

«Report: irregularities have been detected. The (EX) Extra skills: Shadow Extraction, Shadow Exchange, and Shadow Save is not compatible with the soul. Alternate interpretation: Skill conversion to Ruler's authority and Spiritual Body Manifestation.»

...Huh?

Wait, hold up...

Not compatible?

Seriously?

«Hmph»

Well, I suppose it's not that easy... Oh well, I guess I try doing something else?

If I tried other Monarch's power, would that be possible?

«Answer: That would be possible»

Oh well, I'll just go for your suggestion then...

«Report: Roger that»

«『Spiritual Body Manifestation』 and 『Ruler's Authority』 have been integrated. Evolution commences.»

Wait, evolution!?

.

.

.

«Report: Energy has vastly increased, and spiritual body manifestation is now possible. Evolution from Sage to Saint executed Successfully.»

«EP increased vastly, HP is in effect of Spiritual body.»

«Mateeial Body affected by spiritual manifestation, current form can be maintained even with spiritual body manifested permanently.»

HP: S% (In effect of Spiritual Body)

EP: 490+++/9006120 (In effect of Evolution)

.

.

.

This was unexpected.

I didn't get EX skills, but I end up evolving instead.

There goes the plot...

But if there is someone who I'd like to kill first...

[The Monarch of the Beginning donated 100 COL]

[He urges you to do something, or just go die already]

That would be Legia, the Monarch of the beginning.

If I had the chance, I sure want to take it.

I do find a few improvements with my other skills, Great Sage was able to create subskills which were Rimuru's Gluttony before this.

『Recieve』 and 『Provide』, I can now receive skills from my subordinates and grant them my skills.

Well, I'll do Shiraori a little favor later I guess.

[Guide's voting is ongoing, time limit: 24 hours]

*Ding*

[Administrator D: Oh my~ an adventure? I would certainly love to join~]

Shit.

[Administrator Y: Guide can only be decided via voting. You won't be able to hack it, give it up.]

[Administrator D: Geez I know that~ but if only someone wants to vote for me... I am a God too you know~? Is no one going to vote for me~ ?]

[Good Slime: She seems friendly]

W-WHAT!?

STOP IT RIMURU... YOU'RE TRIPPING OVER A LANDMINE OVER THERE, MY SLIMY FRIEND!

*Ding*

[Spider-Girl has voted for Administrator Y]

S-shiraori-chan!!!! ✨

[Administrator D: Ara, Kumo-chan hates me. Isn't that cute~?]

Even though I am not in her world, I can feel Shiraori's shuddering at those messages.

[Weakest Hunter: @AdministratorD Hate to break it into you, D-san. But even we here only met once for a few days. We never really exactly understand each other's powers. I'd like to have this chance to know everyone's powers in order to complete the quest successfully]

[Administrator D: Fair enough, then as a God I am entitled to create skills. Do you want more skills, Hunter-san? I can give you more skills, free of charge~]

Heh, you're underestimating our Sung Drip Woo, D... He knows that something thing like that will always come with a pri-

[Weakest Hunter: What kind of skills, specifically?]

WHA--!?? JIN WOO!? SUNG JIN WOO-NIM!??

[Administrator D: I am happy to present to you, one of the seven deadly sins skill series: Greed. randomly take stats values, skill points, and skills from slain opponents, of course, the taken skills will be set to level one. Gaining this skill will bestow you the title "Ruler of Greed"]

Isn't that just my Gluttonous Swordsman???

Let's see...

[Administrator Y: @Weakesthunter You can do that, but the only problem next was the fact that you may obtain a few skills like the Taboo and appraisal]

This is it, that Taboo skill will surely convince him not to join hands with her. Just a few more pushes and...

[Weakest Hunter: what happens if I have that "Taboo" skill?]

[Administrator D: Something very good happens~! ✨✨]

[Administrator Y: Something very bad will happen.]

[Administrator D: 😀]

That smiley face was actually scary for a second there.

[Administrator Y: in fact, I recommend two of my skills combined: Swordman Greed will allow you to convert your enemies' stats into exps and Gluttonous Swordsman will randomly take the slain enemies' skills. Having them combined is satisfactory.]

[Weakest Hunter: any other skills will be given alongside them?]

[Administrator Y: so far, none.]

[Weakest Hunter: So far?]

[Administrator Y: Yes, So far...]

...

...

A long pause silenced the group before suddenly the notification sounded, *Ding*

[Weakest Hunter: Will you promise to hand the skill over?]

Eh? Ah... Wait... Why did I tell him about my skills in the first place...? But looking at the situation... I doubt Jin Woo would actually turn his back on me one day. At least for now.

So,

[Administrator Y: Sure, the compendium has been updated with a new feature. I'll share the skill with you privately after the quest.]

*Ding*

[Weakest Hunter has voted for Administrator Y]

Nice...

And then...

[The little sister has voted for Administrator D]

HUUUUUUUUH!???

[Administrator D: A pleasure doing business with you, Hiromi-chan~]

[The Little Sister: No no, the pleasure is mine, D-san! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)]

[Administrator Y: Hiromi, shouldn't you be clearing dungeons?]

[The Little Sister: Rimuru-san, I believe in you too! @Goodslime ]

Why him too!?? Don't ignore me!

[Good Slime: Okay???]

I am so lost...

But... I can't lose either!!

*Ding*

I started a private chat with Rimuru.

.

.

.

---Third Person's POV---

Meanwhile, Rimuru, his chat was berated by two individuals.

[Administrator Y: Rimuru, my dearest slimy friend... I noticed you have taken an interest in the manga I've read. Allow me the pleasure to send you some manga.]

[Attachment: (File) Dr. St*ne chapter 1- 232. pdf]

[Administrator D: Hey there slime-san~ Hiromi-chan fills me up about you~ She told me you were reincarnated in another world without any modern technologies... How sad is that~ Please accept this as a token of our friendship!]

[Attachment: (Item) Anywhere D̶o̶o̶r̶  WiFi-Router]

"...What the hell is this situation?" The slime looks at his smartphone in bewilderment.

It was just a few days after a certain Dwarf Kings pays his large group a visit, as well as the catastrophe known as demon lord Loli, called the destroyer. But that's beside the points he needed to understand right now...

[Administrator Y: I also noticed you might be bored with just mangas, so please accept this.]

[Attachment: (Item) Nint*ndo switch, (Item) Game card of "The Legend of Z*lda: Breath of the w*ld", (Item) Game card of "Super M*Rio Odyssey"]

[Administrator D: And have these too! Please enjoy it~]

[Attachment: (Item) S*NY PlayStation 5000, (Item) Unch*rted 4: A Thief's End, (Item) P*rsona 5 Royal, (Item) God of w*r Ragnarok]

The slime was confused on the outside, but deep down he was actually screaming for joy on the inside... Well, despite not knowing a few of the games the two administrators sent him.

But he can still think about it calmly, and... "... Let's see..."

«Report: the act of "ghosting" would be advantageous in this situation.»

"I thought so too..."

Thus, he decided to leave both the admins on read. Looking at them suffer in agony as they guessed what the slime wants.

Some retro games like Dr*gon Quest were thrown into the attachment as well as compressed videos of One Pi*ce, and finally light novels, and even kinds of music, but despite his internal triumph, it wasn't enough to sway the heart of the tyrant slime.

"GAAAAAH--!!!! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT, SLIME!???" Meanwhile, a certain admin known as "Y" on the other side of the multiverse brokes his office table with the unbreakable smartphone due to his frustration.

[The Monarch of the beginning asks what kind of item is that smartphone]

[The Monkey King is curious about that item you just tried to crush]

[He asks if staring at a white screen too much can make you go violent]

[The Forgotten Dragon King is concerned with your mental health]

A/N: Surprise~! The Mc did not get Jin Woo's power. But fear not, I replied to a comment before that the MC would "Steal" one of the monarch's power.

Now which monarch would that be? I guess it is for me to know and for you guys to find out~ :3
