"I can't see anything, damn it!"
"Anyone there?"
"Say sike right now!"
A small red slime shouted on top of his non-existent lungs.
[Calm down, will you?]
A mechanical voice made the screaming red slime quiet down, his body stretching left and right, seemingly trying to see in the darkness where this voice came from.
"Who in robot hell is speaking right now?" Zerathos asked after hearing the sudden technological voice.
[Your assistant.]
"Assistant? Like I care! Give me the answers without gatekeeping." He demanded answers, hearing that bland response he got.
[Understood. I am the Great Evil Sage that reincarnated you into the world of Tensura. So let's start grinding.]
"So I died, like I give a damn. As for being reincarnated into Tensura? Aw hell no, don't tell me I have to meet this femboy wall-level fodder?!" Zerathos accepted the situation with no reaction because he is built different.
[Don't worry. As for I am here. The greatest sage you'll ever meet. That femboy already got replaced by you, and unlike the fake evolved great sage in the original, I'm the literal upgrade. The one who came from outside the literal outside.]
"The self-glazing is insane with this one, but it seems valid. Since that femboy is out of the way, what do you mean by your title, the Great Evil Sage?"
[As in literal. I'm just straight-up evil, like you, of course.]
"I like that a lot." Zerathos nodded with pride.
"So what are you waiting for? Start doing your stuff. Show me what you can do already."
[Got it, boss.]
[Linking magical perception.]
Suddenly, the darkness that covered Zerathos's eyes vanished as everything around him became visible. He could sense in a 360 degree whole.
He found himself in a cave with grass on the ground, illuminated by a slight magical aura.
"Why the hell am I a slime? Ay evil sage, give me a body or something." Zerathos shouted with irritation as he saw himself as a slime.
[Customization template opened.]
With that, a hologram appeared in front of Zerathos, presenting a 3D model of a body.
"Not bad, not bad." He nodded with satisfaction seeing how effortlessly it seemed for him to get a body right now, unlike some femboy.
"Do this, and this, add a bit of this and that, and bam, all done." He finished implementing his preferred facial and bodily structure.
"Done, now do your thing."
[Body structure creation completed. Soul transfer completed.]
With that, Zerathos opened his eyes to find himself in his customized body.
He was short, about 115 cm. He had shoulder-length black wavy and scruffy hair, purple eyes, a slim body that retained his youthful appearance, and black nails.
"That's better." Zerathos said in relief, stretching his arms and legs, feeling himself regaining the touch of being in a physical human form.
"Still, there are no internal organs, just the fluids of a slime." He muttered, feeling happy knowing he is not bound by human limitations anymore.
As for why he customized himself into the appearance of Remuru height-wise? Because he wanted to.
As for appearance? He looked like a boy, unlike the femboy wall-level fodder.
"So Evil Sage, why the hell do I need to tell you what to do? Give me everything you can give out currently, not one by one when asked. Flood me with power."
[Understood, boss.]
[All contents successfully distributed and linked.]
[Light infused with destruction law manipulation. Gravity manipulation. Space manipulation. Ultimate Magicule control. Infinite Regeneration. Pain nullification. All elemental resistance. Taijetsu and weapon god-level experience. Analysis magic. Slightly better six eyes. Unmatched understanding. Strength force.]
"Oooohhhhh. That's what I'm talking about. I feel the power flowing through my non-existent veins."
Zerathos shouted, taking a power-up stance with both hands clenched. Even with that much power he received, there were no shockwaves erupting from his body destroying everything surrounding him, all the evolution is happening in silent.
"By the way, what do you mean by a slightly better six eyes? Why isn't it like the extreme evolved ultra overpowered six eyes?"
He yelled with annoyance. The two words 'slightly better' sounded as weak as the Honored KitKat, Go/Jo.
[What?! Out of all the OP things I gave you, you're annoyed with that? I can literally give you twelve eyes, but that would be too overpowered, and the story would end in five chapters considering your character. Besides, you can improve the six eyes on your own in the future.]
"Don't care about any of that. Give me it. Isn't making me overpowered your thing?"
[Yeah, but not to that degree. You need to develop, have fun, and be ready for the outside enemies.]
"You mean that Dragon Star King fodder whatever he is? Isn't that loser who created the Tensura universe dead?"
[The Star Dragon King Veldanava is nothing more than a deceased reptile. What you need to focus on are the invaders that will come in the future from the Outer Abyss, existences from the outside that even Veldanava couldn't fathom.]
"Oh hell nah. Like are you for real right now? Is this even canon in the original or what?" Zerathos shouted in anger. Like what outside enemies? He doesn't remember that being a thing in the series.
[Well, this isn't canon at all. You only need to know this is for making the story more fun. You'll even be facing their apostles here.]
"Oh here we go again. This shit is so ass. But like a give a damn about that. I'm Zerathos, what bullshit Outer enemies? I'm here to get super overpowered, and since you're here with me, it's a breeze to run through the gauntlet of this place. The Outer whatever, they aren't ready for the one who knocks."
Zerathos said with his arms crossed.
[You're goddamn right. So let's start tweaking.]
"Yes sir." Zerathos agreed with a nod.
"By the way, why am I naked?! And holy shit! What in heaven and hell is this monstrosity?!" He now noticed himself being naked, but what caught his eyes as he looked down was the behemoth that hung between his legs.
[This, my friend, is the Mind Breaker.]
"Mind Breaker? I like that a lot." Zerathos nodded, agreeing with the compliment as he found himself filled with pride after the shock.
"By the way, it's even monstrous in the sleeping form. So how will it look in its awakened state?"
[You don't need to worry about that. I already linked a size customization ability exclusively for your mind breaker that you can access run with a thought. And it already comes with built-in effects.]
"Name me one effect."
[The rubber effect: The skin and flesh around your dick soften and stretch out like rubber, accommodating movement without pain or damage. So you can literally go wild.]
"I understand it all, and I like it a lot." Zerathos was satisfied with one of the effects.
"Damn! For real though Evil Sage, you understand me so well."
[You're goddamn right. I always got your back.]
"That's what I'm talking about, and no glaze. You literally are the MVP, the literal GOAT."
[Yeyeyeh, but don't forget. I exist because you exist, GOAT.]
"Damn it, man. You almost making me tear up." Zerathos gritted his teeth, trying not to shed a tear from these emotional words that could make a grown man cry.
[If I had a physical form, I would be crying already, my G.]
"So the feeling is mutual." Zerathos nodded with a smile. This is literally brotherhood in its purest form.
"Now give me clothes."
[Sure thing.]
Suddenly, Zerathos's bare body was covered with clothes.
It consisted of black martial arts clothes.
"I look like a damn martial god of the Murim world." Zerathos complimented himself to the best existence of his favorite type of manhwas to read.
"By the way, that Storm Veldoro or whatever his name is. He's still in the cave, right? Like the plot didn't change or anything?"
[Yes. The Storm Dragon Veldora is still imprisoned inside the skill, Endless Prison. And why are you asking me anyway? You can literally know from your eyes.]
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Hmm, I can see it all now, and I can make out this bum-ass reptile." Zerathos, with his six eyes, could identify everything around him, even from far distances.
His six eyes allowed him to perceive down to the sub-atomic level. Not just that, but he could see the energy particles and magicules that form them. He saw how everything moved, reacted, and flowed, allowing him to dissect and rebuild magic.
There was also no blind spot. Even behind him, or beyond dimensional barriers, he could see through almost everything currently.
"By the way, I almost forgot. Isn't there like unique skills and stuff?" Zerathos asked.
[Bruh! We don't follow the reptile's power system. We form our own rules here. What weak-ass unique skills? If anything, I am here. The concept of overpowered begins and ends with me.]
"Shits too illegal for words to go so hard. Literally burned the paper with one." Zerathos's mouth was agape, hearing those badass words from the Evil Sage.
And like, for real, why does he need to follow that weak-ass creator bum's structured power system? We are the ones who make and break the rules.
"Then let's go meet that lizard and see if he's useful."
Zerathos said, the space around him distorted as he vanished from his place.
