Benz Deauc.o.c.k, a retired office worker from Milky Way Galaxy, enjoyed playing LHO since the game went open beta. It was his first-time experience in VRMMO that he never had a chance to play in his life.

After retirement, he exchanged some of his savings money into diamonds, hoping to buy a new life in-game like his peers, who had already transferred their souls into other games.

Deauc.o.c.k hoped that he, too, could live a good second life in a good world. With his diamonds, he should be able to become one of the top players in a server and settle a new family here.

Unfortunately, he ended up playing on server 1.

Because of his enthusiasm, he entered the game too fast when the servers first launched. As a result, he got involved in the most chaotic server, where Misha and others were.

"Gah! How can I kill this stupid slime!?"

Deauc.o.c.k did not have a gaming background, nor was he into novels, so his imagination was limited to what he had experienced or seen in movies.

After pummeling the slimy kobold for a while, he ran out of idea how he could win this fight.

*SOEK*

Despite the overwhelming advantage, the black slime beheaded Benz Deauc.o.c.k.

The monster transformed its entire body into a giant mouth and bit Deauc.o.c.k's soul.

*KRUK*

*KRUK*

For the first time, a player's soul was devoured by a black slime inside a soul s.p.a.ce. Not only the soul was eaten, but the monster also swallowed the soul core.

After the core entered the slime's body, the monster stopped all of its movement, digesting all memory and the conscience of Benz Deauc.o.c.k.

Deauc.o.c.k's avatar in-game was still intact, not being harmed by other kobolds.

Soon, a system notification appeared before his game character.

Deauc.o.c.k's opened his eyes.

Originally, Benz Deauc.o.c.k was a Caucasian man with blond hair and blue eyes. However, his eyes were now black, including his sclera. As if he had black pearls as his eyes, the dark b.a.l.l.s rotated around, adjusting to the new sight.

He groaned in a low voice before he howled like a wolf.

*AWOOOOO*

The player's character name, [Benz Deauc.o.c.k], changed into [Black Slime Knight, Benz Deauc.o.c.k]. Furthermore, his name was removed from the ranking lists, as he was no longer a player from this point.

.

In the real world, where Deauc.o.c.k was sleeping in his game capsule. The human inside the capsule disappeared, disintegrated into nothingness while the game console was still operating.

It would take a long time before humans in the Milky Way Galaxy to find out about Deauc.o.c.k's disappearance. He would soon become nothing more but another missing person in this galaxy.

.

Benz Deauc.o.c.k regained his sense a few seconds later after the conversion. It was the conscience of the black slime, but he mistook his ident.i.ty as Benz Deauc.o.c.k as the latter's memory was clearer than his previous life's recollection.

"Ah, I feel so good. This is how the game should be played," Deauc.o.c.k was overjoyed from the sensation of rebirth.

He looked around and found many players, staring at him in confusion and astonishment.

One of Deauc.o.c.k's colleagues in real life even questioned him, "Mr. Deauc.o.c.k! Have you evolved or gained something from the boss? Why are you a black slime knight?"

Deauc.o.c.k laughed as he tossed away a rifle in his hands and pulled out an ordinary long sword from the previous owner's inventory.

Sword Wave!

9,999!

The former friend was killed with one hit.

"Hahahaha!"

Deauc.o.c.k turned toward the other players as he unleashed his old kobold skills and the body owner's skills.

.

.

The incident did not only occur with Benz Deauc.o.c.k. Five more weak players were killed in their mind s.p.a.ce, and their souls were consumed by the black slimes.

More slime soldiers upgraded themselves into knights.

"HAHAHA!"

"AH! IT FEELS SO GOOD!"

From a weak boss with 10,000 overall strength, they became 15,000. Although the increase in status was not significant, the differences in their new attack patterns and the additional skills of body owners caused more chaos among the players.

Soon, players realized what had happened.

"They have been converted!"

"Mr. Deauc.o.c.k is not a player anymore! His name has disappeared from the player list!"

"Oh, no! My daughter! The monster has converted my daughter!"

"d.a.m.n it! Once I log out of this game, I'll sue the game company!"

"But we can't log out!"

Meanwhile, a tall leporian, Des, ran around and gathered all surviving players.

"Form ranks and attack the monsters together with your teammates! When your friends got possessed by a black slime, drag them to the backline and have someone monitor them!"

Still trying her best, Des fought as she managed the battle flow. Behind her, Moo and Non followed this pro-player around, a.s.sisting the rabbit girl killing nearby monsters.

Because of the bickering earlier, Des made Moo and Non fight in mind s.p.a.ce battles as slime killer specialists since they got used to dealing with these creatures.

None of them complained as the rewards were worth it. For every kill, they obtain 100 free status points as a reward, not including the loot from kobold's bodies.

But their monopolizing on the kills did not last long.

In the sky, Misha flew in a circle, reading and scanning the battlefield.

"Tama, control my body from now on. Try to mimic Shurka's flame tentacles if you can."

*Mew* (Going to mind s.p.a.ce battle again?)

"Yeah, I notice that these guys are converting innocent players into their kind. I can't allow that to happen. Who knows if the converted players are still alive or not in real life?"

*Mew!* (On it! Leave it to me! I want 10 red gels after the battle!)

"Deal!"

Misha descended and stomped on the face of a converted slime knight.

The force and the momentum behind her strike planted the knight's head on the ground.

2,207!

The sudden appearance of Misha alarmed the rampaging kobolds and the knights as her appearance resembled their boss, the Dark Misha. None of them was willing to attack her first.

The eyes of Misha met with one of the knights. She glared at it as she activated a skill that Mia dreaded for its side effects.

Psionic Possession!

Like a black slime, Misha's soul jumped into the soul s.p.a.ce of a converted knight.

The empty white room reddened the moment Misha stepped her feet into the place, but she did not care about it. Misha found the murky slime, which was clinging onto its new soul core.

As long as it had the core, the knight could continue manipulating the new body.

In anger, Misha summoned a fireball by using her soul hunter cla.s.s system while she used her experience to create a bolt of chain lightning.

The lightning struck the slime knight, but it did not deal damage to it. However, it distracted the knight and gave Misha a room for her next moves.

Misha tossed the fireball at the knight, but the latter sidestepped and dodged it.

However, he did not see another attack, which came together with the fireball.

Blast!

An invisible cannon punctured through its body center and destroyed the core, which it was protecting.

"Go to h.e.l.l."

The room squirmed as if it came to life. Like how Misha locked Lucien inside her soul s.p.a.ce, the injured knight was doing the same.

But Misha did not allow it.

"I don't know why, but I hate you, dirty souls. Just die!"

A strange sensation of anger and hatred swelled in Misha's heart as she summoned more fireb.a.l.l.s and cooked the slime knight.

The slime screamed in pain, but it kept using its power and shrink the mind s.p.a.ce, trying to squeeze Misha along with it.

"Naïve."

Misha activated her flame field, which she combined the game skill with Mia's experience.

Instead of creating a small shockwave, it generated a flame tornado, which was similar to what Shurka was using. However, the temperature from the firestorm was much higher than Shurka's version, as this skill came from Misha's imagination and her psych force.

The soul room slowly cracked and revealed an escape route. Yet, Misha did not retreat.

She converted her arms into two giant b.a.l.l.s with mouths.

They bit the knight, chewing it alive.

*KRUK!*

As if karma struck back at them. As the slime had eaten an innocent player's soul, Misha did the same to them.

The moment all memory fragments and the knight's soul was consumed by Misha, she shoved new experience to the back of her head without trying to recollect it and returned her conscience to her main body.

Misha spent too much time trying to kill this monster in their home ground. She was also annoyed by the fact that her abilities were limited in a stranger's mind s.p.a.ce. Had she fought in her soul room, the black slime could have been killed with a single blast skill.

As soon as she got back to her body, she found out that Tama was being besieged by kobolds from all sides.

Fortunately, these kobolds could not penetrate her flame field s.h.i.+eld. Or else, she would have already been dead long ago.

As for the slime knight that Misha had possessed, it stopped moving as its HP had already dropped to zero, dead.

*Mrrr?* (Oh? You're back? Took you a while.)

"How's it going, Tama?"

*Meh* (Bad. My power is limited because of your pitiful STR. Add more points into strength, for banana sake!)

"Did you use Slicky's sperm?"

*Mew Mew!* (Can't do because there are too many girls nearby. The smell will arouse them, and I don't want to bear the responsibility. This gorgeous maiden only cares for pretty male eggs, not a bunch of b.i.t.c.hes!)

"…"

While Misha and Tama were catching up with the recent development, they kept dodging from all kobold's attacks.

Then, an update arrived.

>

>

>

Even though Misha did not want to look at the notification, the absurd phenomenon distracted her from the combat.

"AH! d.a.m.n IT! I WANT TO CHECK MY NEW STATUS!!"

Knowing that she could not check her status at the moment, Misha activated another skill.

"Stop moving for a second!" Shouted Misha.

Psionic Puppeteer!

An invisible brain wave expanded like a dome. The signal connected with all active black slimes, which hindered their movements and reaction.

Not only the kobolds around Misha paused, all 2,000 remaining field bosses stopped moving, but they turned toward Misha.

.

Deauc.o.c.k, who had become a new leader of the attacking force of black slime soldiers, stopped attacking a nearby player and turned toward Misha's direction as well.

"Fake Misha spotted. KILL!!"

*AWOOOO*

Deauc.o.c.k and two other slime knights broke free from Misha's control and rushed toward the general direction of this fairy overlord.
