[Old] That Time I Got Isekai'd Again and Met a Slime Friend

Remastered Chapter 1: Another World? AGAIN?

I slowly regained consciousness in what I presumed to be one of the eggs I had laid in the Great Elroe Labyrinth. I pushed against the wall of my obloid prison to confirm that what I was in was, in fact, an egg. Then, I burst out of my egg into the Great Elroe Labyrinth and started laughing hysterically.

WHA HA HA HA HA HA!!! AH HA HA HA! AH HA HA HA!!! Ge he he... Ha... Haaaah...

It was so hysterical that I heard myself making clicking and hissing noises from my mouth. I was just that happy!

Why was I giddy enough to laugh the moment I left my egg, you ask? Well, I sense you asked so nicely. I had just escaped the clutches of the Evil Demon Lord Ariel! FOR YOU SEE! Just when my Right to Life (Trademark pending) was about to be VIOLATED by abyss magic, I transferred my soul into one of the eggs I had laid before my fight with Ariel in the Great Elroe Labyrinth. So, laughing was the natural reaction.

But then I abruptly stopped, my mouth agape. Something was wrong. I didn't recognize this part of the great Elroe Labyrinth. It was covered in blue crystalline structures and green grass that radiated magic power. None of the 3 Stratums of the Greate Elroe Labyrinth I've been on had this kind of vegetation, or any vegetation for that matter.

Realizing I didn't know where I was, I used [Wisdom] to bring up a map... Aaannd it was empty save the small cavern I hatched in. There was also a tiny blue dot in the distance with the label "Demon Lord" floating above it.

I stared at the map, trying to comprehend what could have happened to wipe it thoroughly. My first hypothesis was that my map was somehow wiped while transferring my soul to another body, but that didn't explain why I could still track the Demon Lord. Then, while thinking up another possible cause, a thought occurred.

What else changed? I mean, something happened to [Wisdom], a skill on the same level as the Seven Deadly Sins skills, meaning that the rest of my skills are– I didn't bother to finish the thought as I flew into a little panic attack. And imeaditly used [Wisdom] on myself.

Name: [Nameless] Age: [2] Race: [Zoa Ele] EP: [40,707]

Abilities:

Arts:

Magic: [Dark Magic], [Spatial Magic], [Mental Magic]

Skills:

Intrinsic Skills: [Poison Fang], [Thread Control], [Night Vision], [Rot Attack], [Immortality]

Unique Skills: [Wisdom], [Skanda](0), [Evil Eyes]

Resist Skills: [Rot Resistance], [Poison Resistance]

Status: [Demon Lord Seed], [Parallel Mind(9/10)]

AH! I knew it! What happened to my stats and skills!? When did wisdom show my age!? EP!? What's that!? Why are parentheses next to Skanda!? What's a Demon Lord Seed!? Zoa Ele!?

My mind went a million miles per hour trying to piece everything together.

Then, stealing myself, I used [Wisdom] on what stood out the most.

[Demon Lord Seed, one of the prerequisites to becoming a Demon Lord]

Ok... that makes sense. What about Skanda– wait, DEMON LORD!? But Ariel's here, and last I checked, she's still the Demon Lord. Is it another of those teases where you can become a demon lord only if one doesn't already exist, like before? Yeah, that's probably it, so I won't waste my time getting excited and only be let down.

Next, I used [Wisdom] on [Skanda](0) and [Evil Eyes] as I had my other skills before, but since [Skanda] was also changed, I appraised it first.

[Skanda: Increases Ep proportionately to the number of souls sacrificed to it at a rate of 2.0826088 Souls + 88, current number of souls sacrificed to Skanda: (0), you currently have 148,559 souls in your possession]
