Chapter 15: [] Chapter Fourteen: Why? How?
As the blinding purple inferno engulfed everything, I felt a strange sensation, as though I were being pulled in all directions simultaneously. My consciousness flickered, and my thoughts scattered like shards of glass.
In that chaotic moment, I could no longer feel my slime body or the presence of my comrades. Time passed slowly. And little by little I started regaining my process of thoughts.
" So what next?" I muttered and started remembering what happened.
" Was that even a trail?, was that even possible to defeat?" I asked myself.
" Shouldn't it be on our level? Why it was way beyond our capabilities!!!" The more I think about more I realized it was a trap all along.
" It was never ment to be killed isn't it?"
" Then why the hell!. It said it will be on our level!!"
The more I think more frustrated I become. But I realized there's no use of it and slowly calmed my mind.
" sigh, I couldn't protect them after all" I muttered and the images of there cheerful smiles started reappearing on my mind.
" If it was a trap all along, Why fuck give me another chance!!" I shouted.
More I started to think more I started feeling like I am being scammed of something by someone!!.
And started crushing what ever I want.
----
Unknown amount of time passed, I finally calmed down after crushing the unknown with many words.
" Sigh is this all?"
" No dying or whatever?" I thought.
Then all of a sudden, I felt something. No more like is started feeling something. I was confused as the sensation is like I have already experienced before.
" Yes! It's my slime body. Am I getting another chance again!!!" I thought and as expected it's really the case. The sensation started becoming more clear and clear.
And on top of that I started sensing my comrades feeling.
" They are alive!!!" I shouted in happiness.
And soon after white blinding light appeared out of nowhere.
As the blinding light enveloped me, I felt myself being pulled back into existence, my slime body slowly materializing. The familiar sensations returned—the soft, malleable form, the interconnectedness with my comrades, and the pulsing energy that defined my existence.
I slowly opened my eyes. As my my adjusted the familiar black ceiling appeared. I realized I was looking above. I right away looked at my surroundings. The emotions of other slimes flooded in my mind.
Seeing they are all right and we'll. I become happy, The emotions were so overflowing that if I had tears I would have shed tears in happiness.
I realized the whole formation also recovered. And us now again confined with dark unrefined walls.
Meanwhile the other slimes finally recovered from there daze and right away looked for there comrades. And for me I started sensing series' of emotions from them.
Spotting me some directly came towards me. And soon after all of them surrounded me.
I could feel the collective emotions of happiness, relief, and gratitude. Sensing this my heart kinda pained as I know very well I did nothing. I even don't know how we are alive. But I know I have to take the responsibility as there king.
I reassured them and told them it was my plan all along. I also told them the others ( Ant lord, mult and Eraa were also all right.
" Yes they are also alright, I hope so" I thought and fouced my mind.
" Status"
Soon the same familiar status window popped up in front of me.Before I can gazed at the informations properly. Series of notifications started pooping up in front of me.

Before I could gazed at them all a big notification pannel popped up.
[ Please Choose your code name ]
I tried dismissing it but failed as no matter how I did It always pops up again.
" A code name? A name? For me to hide my real identity?" I thought.

With my new identity as "Moon_Granade" established, I took a moment to examine the details of my player profile. It seemed that I had entered a whole new world, one filled with dungeons, rankings, and various challenges.
" A game world ? " I thought.
The notifications had mentioned rewards like treasure boxes and skill books, which piqued my curiosity.
"Let's check the mailbox first," I thought, navigating to the mailbox interface. There, I found a list of items that had been sent to me.
[ Mail box 6/99:
• Treasurey Box [x9]
• Skill books [x12]
• Rune cave tickets [x5]
• Awakening Cave tickets [x5]

" wow so many things" I thought and was about to withdraw them. But then shaked my head.
" let's first read the other notifications and dismiss them first"
Gazing at the clearing wave. I could help but wonder how did we even won. But realizing there no use of thinking and it will only waste my time. I diss missed the notification. And head on to the next one.
" Eh a title? " I thought and tapped on it.
[] The Craftsmith: Control over dungeon increased by 300% []
" wow, by 300%!!!. " I thought as without a doubt it's powerful. I can already imagine what it's saying. And had the urge to right away opened the dungonlord function to try it out. But I controlled it and dismissed the notification.
I quickly glanched through the smaller ones and dismissed them. Most of them were for some kind of registering.
Like player registering etc.
" Good the mass recovered back to 100% and even increased. Nice nice" I muttered.
" with the increase of spirit stones. We would be able to grow further." I thought and dissmied it along with what ever Gaia notification. Reason I can't enter thus there's no need to waste time. I might as well see it later after I'm done with others.
With that. I gazed at the most interesting notification among them after the mailbox.
" The new functions!"

One by one I started guessing what they might be. I tapped on the global chat first. Soon a big blue screen appeared in front of me.

Alex: I hear you, Blaze! I thought I was dreaming when I woke up in this new body. It's like we've been transported to a whole different realm or something. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Serenity: Absolutely! I can't shake off this surreal feeling. One moment, I was living a normal life, and the next, I'm stuck as this helpless creature. It's like a twisted nightmare come to life. Is there anyone out there who understands what's happening to us?
Jesper: Hey humans stop talking!. Tell me what's going on.
Xander: You're not alone, Serenity. I was utterly bewildered when I found myself in this new form
Ert : Fufu I'm reborn again, I can kill everyone again.
Goblin lord: Well guys I'm excited as my Life was shit anyways.. and Jesper dude. Show some respect to this goblin king.
Luna: I'm glad to see others who are going through this..as I thought I'm the only one. I was a skilled athlete before this happened, and now I'm a green snake..Not gonna lie my poison is so strong.

" wow, it's really looks like a game" I thought and gave a quick glance at the rewards. And dismissed it.
" I have to rush forward without wasting time" I thought. As without a doubt it's a game. And thus gaining first spot will benefit me a lot. Which seems impossible for now.
" it's at least better then those dumbasses who are talking in global chat and wasting there time " I thought and tapped the next option.
