That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Black

Okay, so hear me out. We all love That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. Rimuru is adorable, right?
But sometimes, I daydream. Specifically, I daydream about a darker version.
I call it: That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Black. Think of it as the emo version, but with more goo.
Must Read
Rimuru, But With An Edge
Imagine Rimuru. Same basic slime. But this time, instead of being all about harmony and monster-nation-building...
Well, let's just say things get a little more… chaotic. Less village fairs, more conquering.
I know, I know. Some of you are clutching your plush Rimuru dolls. But hear me out!
No More Mr. Nice Slime
In this version, Rimuru isn't so forgiving. He still cares about his friends, of course. But he's got a much shorter fuse.

Those pesky kingdoms that try to mess with Tempest? They don't get a stern talking-to. They get… absorbed.
And maybe turned into delicious, nutritious slime snacks later. Okay, maybe not. But you get the idea.
The Great Sage, But Sarcastic
The Great Sage is still there, helpfully guiding Rimuru. But she's also got a serious sass problem.
Her explanations are dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, you want to try that incredibly dangerous spell? By all means, Rimuru. What could possibly go wrong?"

Think Cortana from Halo, but fused with a blob of sentient jelly. Terrifying and hilarious.
The Allies Are... Different
And what about the allies? Well, they're still loyal. But they’re a bit more… intense.
Shion is even more obsessed with protecting Rimuru. To the point of, shall we say, aggressive affection?
Benimaru is still the stoic commander. But he's secretly enjoying the whole "ruling the world" thing a little too much.
Gobta's Upgrade
Even Gobta gets a power-up! He's not just comic relief anymore.

He's still clumsy and goofy, but he also has moments of surprising competence. Imagine Gobta pulling off a last-minute save that shocks everyone.
Maybe by accidentally tripping into the right position. Who knows?
Why I Think It Works
Look, the original Slime is great. It's heartwarming and fun. I get it.
But sometimes, you just want something a little darker. A little more… morally ambiguous.

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Black wouldn't replace the original. It would be a fun alternative. A "what if?" scenario.
Imagine the possibilities! The angst! The questionable fashion choices!
Plus, let's be honest, a darker Rimuru would probably be ridiculously overpowered. Which is always entertaining.
So, am I alone in this? Am I the only one who dreams of a Slime with a bit of an edge?
Probably. But hey, a girl can dream, right?
And maybe, just maybe, someone out there agrees. Maybe you're secretly a Slime Black fan too. Don't be afraid to admit it!
