As Miya exited the library, she proceeded down the hallway towards Sora's bedroom, uncertain of what to anticipate from her. Her initial encounter with Sora involved casting a spell that rendered her unconscious, leaving Miya still pondering the effects of that magic on her.
“Lady Miya, you appear to be preoccupied with something,” her slime-dressed companion remarked as they traversed the corridor toward Sora's room. Miya let out a sigh and glanced at the dress that was conversing with her. She had yet to acclimate to wearing a garment made of slime, as she could still feel it shifting against her skin at unexpected moments, causing her discomfort with each step.
"I am not accustomed to having something invade my body; it feels exceedingly unpleasant, and I truly wish to expel you from within me!" The slime dress let out a sinister giggle, causing her to emit a slight scream as it delved deeper into her form. "Cease this at once!" she exclaimed, feeling the revulsion intensify. "Stop it, I implore you!" The slime chuckled as it responded once more.
"However, you are so much fun to play with, Lady Miya. I believe I shall remain here for the remainder of the night!" the slime retorted with another laugh. Miya sighed as she approached Sora's bedroom door, knocking gently and awaiting a response. She did not have to wait long, as Sora's voice came from the other side.
"Miya, dear, please come inside; we are eagerly awaiting your arrival. There is no need to feel shy!" Sora called from her bedroom, anticipating Miya's entrance. Moments later, Miya entered the room, prompting Sora to smile while Lyssa waved at her. "Um, would it be possible for me to change dresses? This slime dress is beginning to irritate me!" Lyssa remarked with a smirk and a giggle. Sora sighed in response, nodded, and then rose to approach Miya.
Upon entering the room, Miya was greeted by Sora, who took her hand and led her to the closet to select a new dress for her to wear. "Lyssa, would you kindly remove the slime? I had previously cautioned you about leaving her in it for an extended period!" Lyssa nodded in agreement and proceeded to take off Miya's slime-covered dress while Sora helped her put on new undergarments and a fresh dress.
Sora guided Miya onto the couch and began to playfully touch her neck. "Did you discover anything at the library, Miya?" Lyssa inquired, addressing Miya, who nodded in response. "Indeed, I came across some unexpected information regarding the Dark Kingdom; however, I was unable to read all of it due to a lack of sufficient mana. The slime assisted in replenishing my mana pool, but I continually find myself running low."
Sora gently placed her hands around Miya's neck, attaching a collar and tightening it before locking it securely. Miya looked at the collar with curiosity, questioning its significance. "Why have you put this collar on me?" she asked. Sora smiled as she provided an answer to her inquiry.
"You are now a part of my life, and I regard you as my daughter and a treasured possession. I realize this may come across as strange, Miya, but if I do not assert my bond with you, there is a possibility that someone could try to take you from me and Lyssa. Consequently, I must ensure the protection of what I consider mine, which is you, my sweet girl." She finished by kissing Miya on the forehead and wrapping her in a warm hug.
"The reality of slavers in our world makes Lady Sora's actions understandable," Lyssa expressed. As Miya yawned and rubbed her eyes, Sora pulled her close, allowing her to rest her head on her lap. "Close your eyes, my dear; you have had a busy day," Sora reassured her, as Miya blinked and yawned, wanting to engage in conversation.
Before Miya could express her next thoughts, she lost consciousness, her head falling onto Sora's lap as she succumbed to sleep. Sora turned to Lyssa, and they initiated a dialogue via the slime hive network. As Sora tenderly petted Miya's head and kissed her, the two began to engage in their hive mind communication.
Rising from her position in Sora's room, Lyssa moved over to the couch, gently picking up Miya and cradling her in her arms as Sora beamed at the sight. "Kindly take her to her room and change her clothes. In the meantime, I will make a quick call to Mary," Sora requested. Lyssa nodded with a smile and walked out of the room, heading down the hallway with Miya securely in her embrace.
Sora established a connection through her Hive link to Mary’s Hive link, given Mary’s association with the Underkingdom. “Mary, we need to have a discussion; an individual has arrived in a rather extraordinary way, and it seems to be linked to you!”
Sora said, laughing lightly. Meanwhile, in a far-off place, a woman was positioned in a room, observing something when she detected messages from Sora within her mind via the Hive network. She waved her hand as if she were navigating a computer interface, accessed the message, and started to listen.
"In a unique manner, I find myself pondering whether I overlooked something. Perhaps I should review the active list of individuals I have gathered from other realms," she remarked with a lighthearted laugh, gesturing toward the data lists. Lyssa entered Miya's room, assisting her into a nightgown and tucking her under the covers. "Good night, Miya. Do not fret; we will resolve the mana issues shortly!"
Lyssa smiled slyly as she undressed Miya, applying Slime to her skin. The substance began to morph into a nightgown, gracefully enveloping her form. "Please monitor her mana pool levels closely; if they decline significantly, inform me immediately. I wish to prevent any adverse effects on her. Additionally, refrain from disturbing her while she sleeps; allow her to rest peacefully tonight."
Lyssa responded by adjusting the gown around Miya's legs. After covering Miya with a blanket, she exited the room. A few hours later, Miya turned over in her bed, embracing herself as she drifted into a dream.
Her mind was overwhelmed with nightmares and a multitude of other unsettling thoughts. Shaking her head, she began to toss and turn in her bed, her dreams filled with vivid images of flames and other distressing elements. She found herself screaming in her sleep. At that moment, Lyssa was in her room, reading a book, when she felt an unsettling presence. She stood up, left her room, and proceeded down the hallway toward Miya's room.
Lyssa commenced her run as the slime on Miya's body signaled the onset of troubling dreams and the draining of her mana. Recognizing this as a concerning indication, Lyssa accelerated her pace, striving to reach Miya's room as swiftly as possible.
With a cry of sheer terror, Miya was abruptly torn from the ground and drawn into a wormhole. She instinctively reached for the soil, hoping to anchor herself, but her attempts were in vain as the portal relentlessly transported her from her world to another.
Upon her exit from the portal into the new world, Miya's body began to radiate a brilliant light. She felt an overwhelming heat as if her very being were ablaze. As she looked down, she recognized that she was hurtling through the sky at a rapid pace. A scream of pain erupted from her as her skin turned crimson and her attire ignited, flames consuming her as she fell. In a frantic effort to escape the flames, Miya grasped at her clothing, attempting to tear it away.
She howled in despair as the flames engulfed her, wrapping around her and incinerating her clothing before turning their fury upon her body. Her cries grew louder, a futile hope that the fire would relent, but it continued unabated, charring her skin until it was as dark as the night sky. Slowly, her physical form began to vanish.
Lyssa quickly took hold of Miya, lifting her and racing down the hallway to the castle's medical lab. Noticing the deep redness of Miya's skin, Lyssa understood that something was seriously wrong. "Fear not, Miya; we will take care of this, my sweet!"
Concurrently, Sora had awakened after Lyssa informed her of a concerning incident affecting Miya. She swiftly left her room and made her way to the laboratory, where Lyssa and Miya were present. Upon her arrival, Lyssa had already laid Miya down, removed her garments, and enveloped her in a layer of slime. Subsequently, she attached cables to Miya's body to initiate diagnostic procedures.
As Sora stepped into the room, Lyssa was already engaged in her efforts with Miya. "How serious is the situation?" Sora asked. Lyssa looked up and answered, "The mana core is significantly damaged. I tried to mend it previously, but it seems my efforts were in vain. If this condition persists, she could be at risk of death." She stated that her attention was focused on the data on the screen.
Sora conveyed her wish for Fate to be favorable, directing her attention to Miya, who was peacefully sleeping on the medical bed, linked to an array of wires and apparatus.
In a remote location, far from Sora Castle, icy winds howled, and those who arrived were met with a fate that was unforgiving and unkind. Surrounded by glistening crystals, a magnificent tower rose prominently while snow covered the landscape. For anyone stepping into this territory, a cruel destiny lay in wait. Individuals wandered outside the castle, taking in the sights and sounds of their surroundings.
"Incredible... it is said that this establishment is governed by Fate, how amusing!" the individual remarked as they approached the castle door, pushing it open with determination. The girl accompanying them shook her head disapprovingly. "As the saying goes, Fate can be both benevolent and malevolent, so exercise caution in your words; she may be listening!" Dora responded.
As two individuals entered, Dora's companion laughed and dashed past her into the tower's hall. Upon their arrival, Dora let out a sigh as her friend abruptly halted, confronted by a glowing orb that materialized before her. In an instant, several crystal spikes emerged, lifting her friend off the ground, and as the spikes forcefully struck her body, blood was spilled profusely.
Dora let out a piercing scream as she burst into a room adorned with intricate runes on the floor. As she stepped into the center, a voice echoed ominously, warning her not to meddle with Fate, declaring that her own Fate had now been determined. In that moment, Dora screamed again as the room around her came alive, the runes illuminating with a vibrant glow.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
With a sudden jolt, Dora screamed as the room animated before her eyes, whisking her away to another space. In a state of panic, she shrieked as her clothing was torn from her body and substituted with new garments. Mysterious orbs emerged, capturing her and dragging her down an unknown hallway, while Dora's cries echoed in the air. "Please, no!" she begged, as the room's lights began to fade. A display activated, revealing her name and the chilling message, "New Fate chosen!"
The girl chuckled softly as her hands glided over the luminous orb. "Miss Mary, I have attended to them, but I am detecting a significant amount of missing data from the fate gate. It appears that something was teleported without our awareness; I suspect the automated system has malfunctioned once more!"
The girl observed the orb as it processed the data, but no response was forthcoming. "Miss Mary?" she inquired, patiently awaiting an answer. Eventually, a reply was received. "I see. I will take a look shortly. I need to bind someone for a moment!" The girl chuckled once more, nodding in understanding.
Destiny had dealt a harsh hand to the girl named Dora; her arrival here was ill-fated. I am now curious about the reason for the gate's activation. It is essential to compile the data and send it to Miss Mary, Zan reflected as she waved her hand over the glowing orb to retrieve the core data associated with the fate gate in an effort to decipher it.
It is truly unfortunate, Marcus, to witness the harsh circumstances that have befallen you. However, I am confident that destiny will intervene and guide you back onto the correct path. Zan retrieved the necessary data and transmitted it to Mary Orb, nodding in acknowledgment as she accessed all the information from the gate.
The gate should not have been activated; there appears to be more at play here. However, I have entrusted Ms. Mary with its oversight, as she is the most qualified individual to handle such matters, Zan replied, while observing her orb that displayed numerous images.
Zan brought up the image and laughed while gazing at Dora. "You ought not to have trifled with your fate!" she chuckled, witnessing Dora's struggles in bed. "Fate can be merciful or unforgiving!" Zan stated as she departed from her position.
With a deep sigh, Dora wrestled with her situation. "Is this my destiny, to remain shackled like this for all eternity?" she addressed the silence surrounding her. She strained to release her ankles from the bindings that held them to the bed, yet they offered no sign of loosening. Each attempt to break free only caused the straps to tighten, inflicting more pain. The harder she struggled, the more restrictive the bindings became, preventing any possibility of liberation.
Zan entered the room and initiated a conversation with her. "You ought to cease your attempts to resist; it will not be of much assistance. Simply allow fate to take its course; you have made this choice!" Dora shot her a fierce look, shook her head, and tugged at her arms in an effort to escape. Zan chuckled softly and exited the room.
Zan expressed her wish that Miss Mary was enjoying herself more than she was. As she strolled down the hallway towards the kitchen, she retrieved an ice cream cone from the refrigerator and began to savor it while gazing out the window at the falling snow.
Mary deftly wiggled her fingers over the two crystal orbs she was holding. "Data transfer in progress; let us review the information concerning Marcus Smith, dimension key 16476523. It is intriguing to consider why they were transported to this dimension. This does not seem accurate; they are lacking mana. Wait—oh no, their fate is endangered. If I do not take action soon, they may not survive. Their mana core appears to be damaged, but what could have caused this? The fate gate was engaged, pulling them from their own world. Additionally, the destiny gate was activated as well. There is an intricate web of events unfolding here!"
While data streamed across her vision from the visor that shielded her eyes, she provided a response, her fingers deftly navigating the orbs in her hand. She reviewed the vast array of information before her and then noticed a message from Sora. "Oh, Sora! Marcus has become Miya after Lyssa's attempt to repair her Mana core proved ineffective." Mary tapped one of the orbs and sent the message through the hive network.
“I will be leaving shortly to assist her with her mana core; it may be necessary to bring her back here to completely address the damage. Mary responded, balancing orbs in her hand as she continued to tap and gather all available information regarding Miya's life.”
"Yuzuki, residing in the dark kingdom, observed a significant amount of missing data. 'Ah, I understand now; this clarifies many things,' she remarked, gesturing over one of the orbs that concealed the information from view. A voice emanated from a nearby speaker, instructing, 'Mary, please transmit additional mana from the other dimensions.' 'Certainly, it shall be done, Lord Ashleigh,' Mary responded while diligently working at her console."
Upon teleporting to the exterior of Sora Castle, Mary began her approach towards the castle itself. She traversed numerous roads that led to the main gates, deftly sidestepping the slimes that guarded some of the primary paths. Amused, she shook her head and chuckled, aware that Lyssa was observing her actions. Persisting in her journey, she maneuvered through different turns, advancing further into the castle.
Just before Mary crossed the threshold into the castle, a slime suddenly jumped out at her. She managed to avoid the creature, preventing it from entering the castle. "Slimes must not tamper with Fate!" she said with a giggle, continuing her journey through the hallways toward the laboratory.
Sora remained focused on the screen as Lyssa attached Miya to multiple wires, her form enveloped in slime and asleep. Lyssa then moved to the computer to initiate the system, carefully inspecting Miya's body as they anticipated Mary's presence. "The core is significantly compromised; this is alarming, Lady Sora!" Lyssa reported while reviewing the information from Miya's body.
As Mary traversed the many hallways, she recalled that it had been a considerable time since her last visit to the castle. Nevertheless, she remembered the way back to the laboratory. In her determination to arrive promptly and aid Miya, she increased her speed. Upon examining all the information related to Miya, she understood that it was imperative for her to make amends. She accepted that the consequences faced by Miya were ultimately her fault, stemming from the Fate Gate's automatic program that seized individuals possessing mana from alternate realms and converted them into pure mana.
Energize the destiny gate system so that Lord Ashleigh can access the Dark Kingdom. Mary recognized the Lord's lack of intelligence and anticipated that his destiny would soon be decided. Nevertheless, her foremost concern was Miya; she had to hurry to her aid to preserve her life.
She finally reached the laboratory, where Lyssa greeted her warmly. Together, they began to address the urgent issue of Miya's mana core, which was showing signs of failure. Mary worked diligently, typing quickly to stabilize the core, and with Lyssa's help, they succeeded in a timely manner. As Miya started to awaken, she sighed deeply, prompting laughter from both Lyssa and Mary.
Miya awoke to a sensation of being coated in a slick substance from her neck to her ankles. She grimaced as she glanced down at her body, which was ensnared in slimy wires that adhered to her skin. The feeling of being so thoroughly covered in slime was repulsive, and she emitted soft moans as the viscous material penetrated deeply within her. Even the slightest movement on the bed intensified her discomfort, as the slimy substance shifted in tandem with her body, exacerbating her distress.
"Why are you subjecting me to this? I can feel it entering me, and it is quite unpleasant. Please, Lyssa, make it stop!" Lyssa responded with a lighthearted laugh. "I cannot halt this process; we have dedicated the last few hours to your healing, and at this moment, the slime is aiding your body's recovery."
Miya expressed her discontent by shaking her head. "However, it feels so disgusting," she stated. Mary laughed lightly. "Yes, it is slime, and it can certainly make you feel that way, but you will adapt to it in no time. While it may seem unpleasant now, it is not injurious; it is a form of healing. You will find that your discomfort diminishes as you become accustomed to it." Miya blinked, observing a newcomer in the room. Mary maintained her smile as she spoke again.
"I am Mary, the goddess of fate, and I have come to aid in your healing. Regrettably, I may have been the one who brought you to this place, though not by your own choice. I sincerely hope you can forgive me." Sora glanced at her and asked, "So, this is the Fate Gate?" Mary confirmed with a nod. "Yes, Lord Ashleigh is trying to activate gates in the Dark Kingdom," she responded. "However, such actions require one to be a lord or princess of that realm.
With a playful giggle, Sora answered while casting a glance at Miya, who, in astonishment, replied, "Am I truly a princess?" Lyssa, Sora, and Mary shared a laugh and affirmed her with nods.
Miya found it challenging to remain motionless as Mary adorned her with a black latex dress and stockings. "It might feel constricting, but it is preferable to being covered in slime. I need you to embody the appearance required while I attend to your core. I must warn you, this process will be quite painful, Miya, but you will be unconscious for the majority of it!" Mary stated before exiting the room, allowing Miya to gaze at her reflection in the mirror and absorb the sight.
She glanced at her stockings, realizing that the dress fit her form snugly, devoid of the slimy texture that had once covered her body. A sigh escaped her as she felt a twinge of pain in her chest. "It is time to depart, Miya," she announced. Miya responded with a nod and followed Mary out of the room.
At the entrance of the castle, Sora greeted them, leaning in to kiss Miya softly on the forehead. "Mary, I trust you to take care of her and to fix her core," Sora said earnestly. Mary smiled and nodded, assuring her friend, "Rest assured, she will be well cared for. I will look after her throughout the day and ensure she returns home safely, so you need not worry.
Miya and Mary exited the castle and proceeded along the concrete path. After a short distance, Mary took Miya's hand and teleported them to a different location. Miya surveyed her surroundings, noticing the snow, crystals, and individuals encased within the crystals. "What has happened to those people, Miss Mary?" she inquired. Mary chuckled at Miya's question. "Oh, they have simply encountered a cruel fate, that is all," she replied, prompting Miya to giggle in response.
Before Miya had the opportunity to speak further, Mary gently placed her hand on Miya's forehead, initiating a gradual process that would lull her to sleep. As Miya's body established a connection with the tower's mana lines, it ensured her stability while Mary carefully extracted her mana core and commenced the necessary repairs.
Employing a gentle touch, she gradually removed the crystal core from Miya's chest and began her inspection. Mary noted several fissures in the core. Subsequently, she turned and made her way to the crystal room, intending to carry out repairs on Miya's core.
Mary released Miya's limbs and changed her into a new outfit before lifting her and transporting her to the crystal chamber. Once there, she secured Miya in place, preparing her for the installation of the repaired crystal. Before departing, Mary ensured that the straps on Miya's body were properly adjusted, focusing on her core.
Mary observed the Crystal Mana core as it illuminated with a radiant light while suspended in the tank alongside other glowing crystals. Gradually, the cracks on the core began to mend, indicating a healing process. After a few minutes, the core was fully restored, and Mary carefully extracted it from the tank. She examined it closely to ensure its condition was satisfactory, and a smile spread across her face as she spoke softly to herself.
“The crystal core appears to be in excellent condition and should be capable of managing mana effectively. However, Miya will need to undergo training to expand her mana pool in order to utilize it fully once more.” She nods, picks up the crystal, cradles it in her hands, and starts walking back to Miya.
Upon returning to the room, Mary proceeded to Miya, who was still asleep. Miya was visibly struggling, her movements accompanied by quiet cries as she experienced pain. Mary approached her and carefully modified the straps and restraints that held Miya in place.
She engaged a beam of light that illuminated Miya, carefully holding the repaired core above as she readied herself to lower it back into Miya's body. At the same time, Mary affectionately caressed Miya and made adjustments to her attire in preparation for the core's insertion.
"Alright, Miya, your core is now fully restored," Mary remarked as she initiated the process of reintegrating the lower core into Miya's body. She began to hum a gentle tune while utilizing her magical abilities to carefully position the lower crystal core.
With care, Mary placed Miya's Magical mana core back into her body, watching as it seamlessly integrated into her chest. This action initiated the formation of new mana pool pathways, which connected with the old ones, resulting in a more powerful mana system. Mary felt a sense of joy as she observed the revitalizing effects, particularly as Miya's cheeks started to regain their natural hue.
Her skin started to emit a glow of Mana, a stark contrast to the absence of any Mana previously observed in her body. The luminous effect had only occurred momentarily while she was reading a book, but now it entered a rhythm of intermittent glowing as her body worked to rejuvenate its Mana network.
With a satisfied smile, Mary unfastened the straps binding Miya's arms and legs, permitting her to enjoy a restful night’s sleep. The next morning, Mary roused Miya and led her to a specialized room to evaluate her mana levels. Finding the results to her liking, Mary subsequently took Miya to the teleportation room, transporting her back to Sora Castle to initiate her mana training in preparation for the upcoming challenges in her life.
Miya beamed and embraced Mary before stepping onto the teleportation pad, which transported her back to Sora Castle. With a smile, she began to sprint along the pathways leading to the main gates of the castle, eventually entering and making her way to Sora's master bedroom.
