But What Did the Slime Do Wrong?

I'm a slime. One of the Eight-Star Demon Lords, and the master of a kingdom of monsters. I've been invited to become the Master of a certain organization next door, tasked with saving humanity's history. That's great! Now I have a perfectly legitimate excuse to ditch my duties and go out to play! ...At least, that's what I used to think. [Teacher Wisdom King! What's going on here?!] [Answer: This is the legendary love rivalry. Warning Host: Shion is on her way with a blade.] ...Give me a break! I'm just a humble little slime! CP: Storm Group forever!

"Transmigrated as an Evil God, My Ability Is Gacha" Blurb: After dying unexpectedly, Su Ye thought he was dead for good, only to discover that he had been given a second life. In this strange world, where mysterious beings were everywhere and followers were a dime a dozen, Su Ye became a newly born evil god from the start. It should have been a pretty good beginning. Until he discovered that, still trapped inside his egg and not yet hatched, he had inherited none of an evil god's powers. Apart from his divine title, he might not even be able to beat some of the followers favored by other gods :) And worse still, the nominal guardian of his egg had just decided he was a completely useless deadweight and was about to boil him into soup. Su Ye: I'm doomed! [Strong will to survive detected. Gacha System activated. Every 100 points of faith can be exchanged for one draw. Would you like to participate?] Su Ye: Don't ask, bro, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in! If I don't, I'm really going in the pot! The good news was that he'd gotten a golden finger. By drawing cards, he had a chance to gain the powers of the evil gods from his original world, who existed only in human works of art. The bad news was that he didn't have a single follower, and no one among humanity had even heard of him. From then on, to pass himself off as an evil god and survive in this world, Su Ye had to embark on a tearful saga of trickery and deceit as he built up his following. They say a new evil god has appeared upon the divine throne. No one has ever seen its true appearance, nor heard its true voice. It is the wind, the mist, the water, the sun and the stars. It could be anything that might appear by your side. They say that at the edge of the sea, it possesses a towering city, and that beneath the empty sky, it eternally sings praises to its own name. It is the lord of time, crawling chaos, a nameless, formless, faceless flame, the purest darkness and the grandest death. Countless followers kneel beneath the new god's throne, kissing the hem of its robe and laying the world at its feet. Upon the divine throne, the silver-haired evil god twirls a card between its fingers, smiling faintly, its gaze inscrutable. The Lord of R'lyeh, the King in Yellow, the Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young... Guess who I am today? Theme: Innovation drives development, and technology creates the future.
