Muraki's Story

One day, a purple slime was (asexually) produced from another purple slime. However, this particular slime had two traits: it was docile and curious, which wasn't out of the ordinary since some slimes are created with different traits and variations.

This purple slime would go about doing regular slime things like eating and stuff. After a while, it stumbled upon a couple of adventures and became curious about them. It would secretly follow them, and when it was discovered by these adventurers, it was attacked and quickly fled. This happened a couple of times. It would follow something, whether an adventurer, a person, or another creature, and flee when attacked, although sometimes kind people would offer it food.

One day, as it carried out its usual business, the slime spotted someone, a man with four tentacles on his back. It became curious about the man and decided to follow him. Eventually, the man discovered that he was being followed and turned around to see the slime. The slime prepared itself, expecting the man to either attack or offer treats. Unexpectedly, the man just turned around and kept walking, which surprised the slime but also piqued its curiosity even more. The slime followed the man again, and this time he had an annoyed look on his face when he turned around, sighed, and kept walking. The slime continued to follow.

After some time, the man became irritated, and without notice, he quickly grabbed the slime with one of his tentacles and placed it on his arm. With an annoyed tone, he said, "Alright, what do you want, bud?" The slime was caught off guard by what had just happened. It began to jiggle, indicating that it was scared. In an act of self-defense, it began to shoot its poison at the man, but it had no effect on him, not even a tingle.

The man became even more annoyed and pointed all four of his back tentacles at the slime like spears, causing the slime to become even more afraid. But before the man could attack, he noticed the wild jiggling of the slime, indicating its fear. The man began to feel a bit bad for the slime and decided to drop it to the ground, much to the slime's surprise. The man then sighed and said, "Alright, you can follow me, and I'll probably take you in. Oh, my name's Leon, by the way." This confused the purple slime as it wasn't sure what the man was talking about, but it didn't mind following him.

After a while, Leon and the slime made it back to Leon's home. Leon's servants greeted him, and Leon greeted them back. When the servants saw the slime beside Leon, they were surprised, a bit afraid, and questioned what was going on. Leon explained the situation to them, then left for his room, and the slime followed suit. While the maids seemed a bit calmer, they were still cautious around the slime.

After a while, Leon decided to adopt the slime and named it Muraki. So, Leon began to raise and nurture Muraki like a little brother, even introducing him to his friends and girlfriend. As time passed, Muraki began to change into something more "human," much to Leon's surprise. Eventually, he got used to it.

Over the following months, Muraki became more and more humanoid and even gained new powers and abilities due to Leon's influence and the lifestyle he provided. After a whole 7 months had passed, Muraki had transformed into something else. Instead of being the basic, weak, and mostly instinct-driven slime he once was, he had become more human, with his own personality, body, and even extraordinary power. He even became friends with some of the kids in the town near Leon's house.
