Bab 5: Chapter 3 Part 3
- Ponytail -
He watched as his dear friend and benefactor left the village.
He was surprised at how much his life had changed since he met his benefactor.
Before he was lost, he did not know what path he should follow.
Now he does.
He will leave the village and acquire more resources for his friends and family.
Before he was not certain if this was the right path, but seeing how easily his benefactor was able to defeat monsters that the whole village would struggle against made him certain that this was the right path.
If he could get stronger he would be able to send more food and resources back to the village.
He could protect the village.
No one will need to get hurt again.
Maybe he can find a worthy Lord to serve and acquire a name.
Someone like his benefactor.

He looked around and came to the conclusion that was not in the hospital as he saw some rocks in the distance.
Was he dead?
He tried to move around but as he did he felt some plants dissolve inside of him.
He wondered what had happened to him.
He wondered what he became?
He internally prayed that his junior wiped his hard drive, hopefully he wouldn't be embarrassed even in death.
After some experimenting he came to the conclusion he was a slime.
He was doomed wasn't he.

- Felix -
I watch the sunset as I wait for Purple to get back from acquiring food to cook with.
We only just recently ran out of the food that the village gave us.
This will be the first time I try Purple's cooking, apparently she has been practicing so I'm looking forward to it.
We are currently heading towards Dwargon, the home of the Dwarves.
It's one of the most powerful nations around apparently, it's even located inside a mountain.
Maybe I can get a good weapon made there though I don't really need a weapon.
Material Creation is good but I have a feeling a weapon crafted by Dwarves will be even better, though I need to find a way to get some currency first.
As I ponder on where to visit all of a sudden I feel a massive aura head in my direction.
I quickly prepare myself for a fight, hopefully Infinity can deal with any unexpected attacks.
How did this person find me?
I've been concealing my aura this whole time.
And what the fuck is with that speed?!
It's far faster than me even with me using all my flight based abilities.
I watch as the mysterious being lands in front of me forming a crater, the shockwaves are blowing multiple trees away.
Once the dust settles I spot a girl?
She looks awfully young.
"Greetings! I am the one and only Dragonoid, also known as the Destroyer, the Demon Lord Milim Nava!"
Aww fuck.
Why am I facing an end game boss right after I leave the starting village?
"I felt your aura and was curious, I haven't felt a new strong aura in Veldora's forest in ages."
How did she feel my aura?! Am I not concealing it properly?
Damn, her aura is every bit as powerful as Veldora's was when I first felt it.
So this is how strong a real Demon Lord is huh, she isn't even trying to pressure me with her aura, this is just the natural aura she releases.
Not much I can do here except hope she isn't here for a fight, if she is I'm gonna have to grab Purple and find a way to get away.
Hopefully Isolate can protect us for some time along with Infinity.
I don't know what sort of Unique abilities a Demon Lord could have, maybe they have a way to get past Infinity.
"Hello Lady Millim, may I ask what you wanted with me?"
"Hmm? My business? I came to introduce myself."
….
That's it?!
I hear something behind me and turn just quick enough to see Purple in the air sword in hand.
"Prepare to die!"
Oh shit.
"Wait, Purple no!"
Unfortunately it was already too late, she had already attacked Milim.
The attack itself didn't do anything though, Milim stopped her blade with one hand.
"Oh, you want to play with me?"
"Hold on, hold on, I'm pretty sure this is just a big misunderstanding."
Unfortunately both of them ignore me.
Milim flung Purple back with a wave of her arm, I take this chance to get between them, hopefully I can calm the both of them down.
I take a quick look to where Purple was flung and make sure she is okay, thankfully she only has minor injuries.
"Purple you can rest, I can take care of this."
"Hmm? You want to play with me too? Very well. I'll play with you some more."
I heard Purple say something but I ignored her for now, I can't take my attention off the Demon Lord for even one second.
I quickly use Thought Acceleration to come up with multiple plans, most don't involve fighting seriously as I don't know her capabilities.
I eventually come up with a plan, the plan itself can either be considered genius or incredibly stupid.
She's a Demon Lord, she herself said she was here out of boredom so I just need to find a way to keep her entertained.
As I slowly walk towards her she says, "Oh what's this skill? I can't hit you with any attacks? Hmm it seems like it divides the space between us infinitely? Quite interesting."
What! How did she figure that out?
"Aha, you're surprised right! Nothing gets past my Milim Eye, with it I can see through anything, nothing can hide from my eyes!"
….
Hey Cursed Sage, can you try and copy that skill using Studious One with the information she just gave?
….
Unique Skill: Milim Eye has been Analyzed.
Unique Skill: Milim Eye gained.
Nice, this skill allows me to see through lies and allows me to measure someone's magic power even if they are suppressing it.
I can even see what skills someone has.
It has some other functions but it isn't anything Cursed Sage can't do.
Now back to my plan, once I am close enough I say, "Hey, if you're so confident that you can beat me how about we play a game?"
"Ooh, a game! I love games! What's that game, do we use our strongest attacks and whoevers is stronger wins?"
"No no, nothing like that, this game doesn't involve magic whatsoever, this is a game from my previous world, it is said that it can be one of the most vile, evil and destructive games around. Many friendships have been severed due to it in the past."
I didn't want to do this but I have no choice at this point.
"Hahaha, very well! Sounds interesting, but if you lose you must swear to become my subordinate, you're interesting!"
"Fine, but if I win, how about you give me a name with no strings attached?"
"Hmm, okay!"
Nice.
Just one thing left to do now.
I explain the rules to her and then use Material Creation to make what's needed for the game.
Once we are both ready the game starts, the game itself was incredibly intense, but the game soon came to a climax.
I place a card into the pile and look at the card in my hand, then to the three cards in Milim's hand and call out, "Uno!"
That's right, I had to do it, I brought Uno into this world.
I usually never played it with two people but it is still possible to do.
"Grr, just you wait, I'm going to draw a +4 and then it'll all be over for you."
Oh man please don't let that happen.
Thankfully she only draws a red 6 and places it down.
I look at her smugly as I slowly place down my last card, a red +2.
She pouts towards me and says, "Again, lets play again! That was fun!"
"We can play again another time, Milim, I had fun too."
Throughout the game I got to know Milim a little better, she is generally a kind person to those she considers friends as far as I've seen.
I take some honey out of my Spatial Storage and give some to her, "Here as a consolation prize you can try some of this."
She tries a bit of it and then just goes quiet all of a sudden, does she not like it?
All of a sudden she looks towards me with stars in her eyes, "What in the world is this?! I've never had something so delicious!"
Phew.
"It's honey, you know Milim, you aren't a bad friend to have."
"Friends? Hmm you're right, we are friends from now on! Hmm let me think, better yet from now on we are Besties!"
"Besties?!"
She turned towards me with tears in her eyes, "You don't want to be?"
"We're besties, we're besties!"
"As expected of my Master umu." I hear Purple say.
Sigh, she has been looking at me with stars in her eyes since I won the game of Uno.
Anyways that's how I overcame this unprecedented Catastrophe.
"Hmm so what do you want your name to be?"
Ah yeah, I kinda forgot about that agreement. Hmm I kinda suck at naming, I'll just go with the name I had in my last life.
"How about Felix?"
"Yup! Sounds good! From now on your name shall be Felix, the bestie of Millim Nava!"
All of a sudden a voice resounded through my ears, and a large amount of energy started to fill my body.
The feeling that came next was something I was familiar with so I turned to Purple and said, "I am going to faint, do what Milim tells you to as long as it isn't outrageous okay."
And with that I pass out.
Conditions for Evolution have been met.
Commencing Evolution.

Beta's Note: Here have an amusing cliff hanger. I also Beta for Cross, Lord of Cliffs. So I'm not gonna change his mind.
Author's Note:
In this chapter we finally meet some of the main cast. I tried to stay true to their personalities as much as I could.
Now when it comes to Daemons eating monster's souls it wasn't ever explicitly said that they couldn't eat monster souls, only that they couldn't eat Daemon souls and generally stuck to eating human and demi-human souls.
A lot of stuff happened in this chapter, Felix finally got named, became Besties with Millim, got a hot Oni servant, things are already looking up for him.
Enjoy the cliff.
Anyways thanks for reading.
