A Slime's Guide to Self-Cultivation

"Bro, slimes don't get to choose. We can only go with the flow. Sometimes, we might even sell out our own people for a piece of cake. So let me do it today!"

Lin Bai successfully defeated all his fellow clan members and got the cake he had dreamed of, but two evil humans captured him too.

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."

Faced with the temptation of a little cake, Lin Bai gave in. But he didn't die. Instead, his captors raised him into a magical beast and planned to make him their familiar.

"You want to keep me? Okay, sure, I'm in." Faced with room and board included, Lin Bai sold himself out once again. When people judged him, he retorted, "A dog knows when to quit, but a wolf doesn't. I've got someone powerful backing me, and you don't, you jealous wolf."

Clinging to his patron, Lin Bai began a slime's life unlike any other.

But as he swam along with the currents of the world, he suddenly realized he could no longer drift.

"Have I reached the shore?" Lin Bai wondered. But when he opened his eyes and looked at the world again, he found himself standing firmly amid its waves.

"So it turns out I'm the shore now."
