chapter 3 : chaos and confusion
Arthur, now Rimuru Tempest hovered in the dim glow of his newly formed chat window, slime body still tingling from Veldora's power infusion. He'd barely caught his breath before dozens of mental pings assaulted his mind.
[Pervy Sage : "What sort of Genjutsu is this?!"]
[The Honored One : This isn't cursed energy… even my Six Eyes can't analyze it. How interesting.]
[Advocate for gender equality:Gengjutsu ? Six eyes? what are you saying ? This one of those tropes you find in a bad fanfic.]
[Hero for fun:is this a threat?]
[The worst spirit: My, my. It seems everyone here has been draged into this party forcibly]
Rimuru allowed himself a sly mental grin. Classic multiverse group chat chaos. I saw this in fanfiction all the time.
Now that I think about it I shouldn't make my plans soly on my knowledge of the plot,
[Great sage: Correct . Deviation from the original plot, will render your knowledge useless]
He nodded already knowing that, while bragging about his knowledge of their future is tempting, he knew he would be proven as a fraud.
He tapped one translucent icon Instructions and the system text scrolled into view:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"Welcome, Champions of the Multiverse.
Your mission: Contain and defeat the Great Old Ones cosmic demons that feed on Crisis Energy (the negative force born from reality-breaking events).
Admins (Cosmic Beings) cannot intervene directly;
they will empower you via this chat interface. And in return you will have the power to overcome your destined fate"
You will be given missions to defeat the great old ones, and help other group members. In doing so you will gain the ability to travel to said member world .
Traveling to other worlds independently, is possible through the chat group by purchasing a world crossing ticket or by being invited by a member from that world.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[Omniscient reader/protagonist: calm down everybody. You can look at the instructions icon on the top right corner of the screen. It will explain everything .]
[Advocator of gender equality: oh great we have a protagonist among us] kazuma slumped lazily.
[Spider man: wait a moment, you are omniscient? does that make you a god]
[Hero for fun: a god you say ?then you must be strong. Fight me!]
[Omniscient reader/protagonist: calm down hero for fun. And spider man there is nothing such as true omnipotence and omniscience]
[Honerd one: how humble off you protagonist-chan, but your title says you are omniscient so you must know a lot]
[Pervy sage: this is crazy. Why do we e have to fight demons in another world. I just want to spy on wome— I meant doing some research.]
[Advocator of gender equality:another man of culture. I see, if you don't mind I would like to be part of the research team.]
[The worst spirit: Disgusting pigs ]
[Ice general: worthless scum]
[Pervy sage:I feel an arrow piercing my heart]
[Advocator of gender equality: me too great cultured sage]
[Omniscient reader/protagonist: everyone click on your title and change it to your real name]
[Spider man: Huh ,why would we do this? ]
[Gojo saturo:I agree with protagonist chan, using our real names would be easier since we would be fighting together]
[rimuru tempest: finally someone who is willing to talk . Even even if it is KitKat man]
[Gojo saturo:KitKat man? Do you mean my sweet tooth?So you do know about us]
[rimuru tempest:..... ]
[Kazuma satuo:Wait so you are a god and you aren't usless ]
[rimuru tempest: I told I am not a god , I am just a normal friendly slime]
[Kurumi: a slime ?]
[Gojo saturo:it is a gooey sticky ball that can stre—]
[Kurumi: I know what a slime is !! I am just confused how can a slime be so intelligent.]
[rimuru tempest:...Well I am a human reincarnated as a slime ] he hesitated before answering
[Kazuma:So you got Isekaid like me and I thought I had it rough.]
[rimuru tempest: hey don't you dare feel pitiful for me I am one of the strongest members in this chat group.]
Rimuru who was killing monsters left and right while trying get out of the cave had his attention split between the chat group and his plans for the future.
"I need to find a human body quickly ,and a demon lord seed fast."
[ Great sage: It is adviced that you ask group member esdeath for a human body]
"You are…right. Esdeath is used to killing . She is the fastest way to get a human body "
[rimuru tempest:@Esdeath, hey esdeath I would like to propose a trade with you]
[Esdeath: A trade you say. I am listening]
[rimuru tempest: a male human body for 3 full healing potions. These potions are capable of restoring any wounds and even healing imputed limbs.]
[Esdeath: Fufu, you are quite forward rimuru Kun . Consider our deal done]
[Jiraya: I never heard of such healing abilities. Not even Tsunade is capable of restoring a limb easily]
[Peter Parker: Am I the only one weirded out by them trading a human]
[Gojo saturo: meh , people would kill thousands for such potions]
[rimuru tempest:Peter let me tell you, the world is a very dark place. You want to be a hero. And people love you for that. But the one thing they love more is to see a hero fail Fall die trying. In spite of everything you done for them they will eventually hate you.]
[Peter Parker: I can't just sit around while people are dying. I have a great power, and with it comes great responsibility]
[rimuru tempest: what am saying is you shouldn't shoulder every responsibility with such weak mentality. You should accept the dark side of the world, don't be a stupid child who sticks to ideals that will lead to your death.
Also... stay away from MJ]
[Kazuma: eh?]
[Peter Parker:eh?]
[rimuru tempest:eh?]
[Kazuma: eh?]
[Peter Parker:eh?]
[rimuru tempest:ehhh?]
[Jiraya;@Rimuru Hey rimuru why do you want Peter to stay away from this MJ.]
[rimuru tempest: while I can't tell what she does. Take this as an advice from a big brother, you shouldn't get close to Mary Jane Watson. She will only make your life miserable]
[Kurumi: Ara Ara , it seems rimuru kun is quite found of you Peter. To go out of his way to warn you about MJ means she is truly trash]
[rimuru tempest:+1]
[Esdeath wants do a trade with you.
Do you accept: Y/N]
'Yes'

Time skip
A striking human with windswept dark blue hair and golden, predator-like eyes pushed open the door to the cave. He wears a form-fitting black sleeveless shirt that clings to his muscular build, and white combat pants with crimson markings and a flowing, gold-trimmed red sash tied at his waist. Black wrist wraps with golden accents wrap around his forearms, . His smirk is confident almost cocky
"Finally a breath of fresh air. it took six days to exit this damn cave "
[You took your time in the way up]
"Hey, in my defense we are ahead of the cannon by like four months ." Rimuru exclaimed with a playfull sly grin
" now let's tame some wolves and goblins."
