 So if I'm a slime monster now does that mean I'm a lvl 1 tutorial monster for everyone to try and defeat or can a slime be the main character??

You may be a queen slime? I dunno how these things work here.

[nepu]

I can totally get behind that, queen slime means I get a cool title and you gotta work your way up to get me.

[maskgunraid]

I'm guessing the former. In fact, I might get a lot of EXP just by defeating you.

[nepu]

I was making a joke! I mean... I could totally beat you but still.

[maskgunraid]

Good luck with that. And don't worry, I'm just joking around. It's not like I hunt you down for EXP.

[As for as he knows, slimes only have a poor amount of EXP in his perspective.]

[nepu]

That sounds like a challenge, and I don't back down on those.

[maskgunraid]

Yeah. I'm going to pass, though. I don't feel like hurting slime girls like you.

[nepu]

Even though I'm the main character so I'd be a challenge to defeat?

[maskgunraid]

Yeah. I may be a bit desperate for EXP, but I'm not the type to hit girls.

[He can't say the same with older women, though.]

[nepu]

Well I'm not holding the gender barrier to anyone, a challenge is a challenge.

[maskgunraid]

[Those words made his eyes widened in shock. He never saw any girl who challenged him before.]

And you mean that we're fighting in real life or in a video game?

[nepu]

Video game battle would be nice, but I can also do a real battle.

[maskgunraid]

Oh, I'm interested...

Too bad I'm not a superhero or a Chosen Hero like in those JRPGs, though

[nepu]

I think anyone can become a hero if they want, it's just a matter of training hard.

[maskgunraid]

Really?

[Well, he thinks he already a hero. But to most of them, they would see him as a dangerous vigilante who kills corrupted adults rather than arresting them.]

[A siren responds:]

I'm sure a story twist like that would be well received.

[nepu]

Oh no, you got monstery too...

So it's not just me at least.

[sengokupocky]

Of course, a slime can be a main character!
Anything goes in an isekai!

[nepu]

But, I'm not a light novel protag, I'm a video game one!

[sengokupocky]

Maybe, you branched out into a franchise.

We're in a multigenre and multimedia crossover, anyway.

[nepu]

That makes sense, I mean the last game that happened with an MMO type one since that's all the rage.

Wait, that's not the point here! I haven't had a game with this sorta plot.

[prideofhoshido]

I'm..sorry, young lady, but I believe you've lost me there.

[Ryoma's a little disturbed though at her appearance] I believe you can be whoever you want to be even in the face of this...curse.

...What are you?

[nepu]

Well it seems like I got turned into a slime monster, and where I'm from that means it's just a monster in low target areas.

[prideofhoshido]

Hm..I see. Sort of. I still don't follow this..low target areas.

[but he raises a brow]

..A Monster wouldn't have such insight, so it must be a strange curse. You're still you, and that's good.

[nepu]

It's like the area where you start your adventure.

[forylisse]

[She's all kinds of confused here. What the heck is a tutorial monster? But that can be figured out later.]

You can be whatever you want to be! Unless you don't want to be the main character, of course.

[nepu]

I can't not be the main character, my series is named after me!

[forylisse]

Your...series? I'm afraid you've lost me there.

[More confusion!]

[nepu]

Don't worry about it, the joke went over your head.

[gamerrep]

In most fantasy games you would be that first monster people encounter. But here you are probably along the lines of slime queen because of how long you've been here.

[nepu]

Slime queen sounds like a cool title but, I wanna go back to just Neptune.

[gamerrep]

This will pass after at least a week. Until then we must defeat the NPC monsters that cause harm to people.

[nepu]

That kinda sounds like a pain though, if I can't transform like normal I won't be able to unleash my full powers.

[gamerrep]

But it means you are harder to hit currently. That's a decent power even if it's not your full power.

[nepu]

But I can't fly or look like a sexy adult.

[gamerrep]

Flying is a little overrated. Mostly because you can only go so high and with tall buildings, it's not that fun.

[nepu]

I did kinda forget to factor that part in, flying here is kinda a pain since it's really urban.

[gamerrep]

It still does get people to places further even with the smaller spaces, there is no traffic.

I guess overall it has positives and negatives.

[stairsbro]

Shit. Finally someone's asking the real questions.

[nepu]

It's the most important question of the day.
