"A Slime in a World of Monarchs" • Tensura X Solo Leveling

Chapter 1:

>>I have already left a parallel existence in the office, what is next Ciel?<<

Rimuru waited for his companion's answer while observing his country from the starry sky. He couldn't help but smile proudly at his accomplishments.

<<Decide who will be the lucky one to join us>>

>>Is it really necessary to take someone with us?<< He didn't think it would be a good idea to take any subordinates with him.

<<It is not necessary to wear it now, it is only necessary for the future. You can decide later>>

>>Let's do that, then we choose<<

<<As you wish, I will now proceed to reduce the level of your strength to a state acceptable for the world we are going to. Also, I will change your abilities to make it more fun>>

>>Can you at least tell me something about where we're going?<<

<<I'll show you the information while I make the changes and transport us to the other world>>

Within seconds Rimuru found himself in a new location, floating in the night sky over Seoul, Korea.

The information flowed like water from a river in his head, a modern world where there are humans with powers and hunt monsters from portals called dungeons. Those who engage in this profession are known as hunters.

These range from rank F to S, although there is a higher level that few have reached, the national level.

<<I have nullified most of your abilities and reduced your strength as much as possible>> Ciel warned Rimuru despite having already noticed it. <<Would you like me to explain the changes to you?>>

>>Please do<< Rimuru went down until he reached an alley where no one would see him and began to walk through the city while observing the place.

<<Your physical and magical strength is within C rank based on this world's terms>> Ciel informed.

>>Will I stay in that rank forever like the other hunters?<<

<<No, you can increase your rank by clearing dungeons and fighting higher-ranked hunters.>>

>>It's not that bad, that way I'll have to work hard to get to the top and protect people<<

<<Exactly. The skills you can use are [Gluttonous King Beelzebub], [Regeneration], [Storage], [Speed ​​Boost], and [Sword Master]>>

>>So I'm still very strong<<

<<Not really>> Ciel got angry at being interrupted. <<I've modified them, so what you absorb with [Gluttonous King Beelzebub] has a limit that increases with its rank. For example, if you absorb an attack from an S-rank Mage right now, much of the damage will be taken>>

>>Oh, I understand, you think of everything Ciel<<

<<Obviously>> Ciel said proudly. <<The same goes for the other skills, the more I rank up the more efficient they will be. Also, I'll add other skills as I progress>>

He continued to chat with Ciel during their walk, although he didn't really have any specific place to go.

Ciel had been in charge of creating documents for him in the Korean government so as not to raise suspicions, he never took the hunter test because he was an orphan, so nobody knew his rank.

>>How much money do I have in the bank account you created?<< Rimuru asked before inserting his card into the ATM.

<<Currently five thousand dollars, I should make money soon>> Ciel advised.

>>I'll have to sneak into dungeons and get crystals by killing monsters<< Rimuru thought having no hunter ID. >>Is there a place where I can illegally sell crystals?<<

<<Yes there are, it will not be a problem>>

>>So that's what we'll do tomorrow, is that okay with you?< he withdrew the money along with his card and returned to walk the streets.

<<Whatever you decide will always be fine with me>> An answer that Rimuru had heard many times from Ciel.

>>Alright, now let's find a cheap place to spend the night<<

Thanks to Ciel's indications, it didn't take him long to find a hotel where he could spend the night for little money.

He put aside the demon lord sack he used and threw himself on the bed, sleeping instantly. Next to her, Ciel took physical form and covered him with the sheets and later lie down next to him and hug him.

<<Rest, master.>>

The next day

Rimuru walked out of the hotel smiling, he already had his sword in [Storage] and was ready to fight.

"Very well, let's have our first adventure in this world"

He said to himself and began to walk in search of an unexplored portal.
