The Slime Sovereign

Tens of people crowded a large hall, adorned with tall, marble pillars and stained glass windows.

”Did you hear? The first princess awakened a powerful Specialist-type talent! ”

”Are you serious? Specialists are extremely rare! ”

”Its true, my reliable friend said it himself! ”

”I would be satisfied with just a mediocre Combat-type talent… ”

These people were all young adults, preparing to awaken their own supernatural talent.

At 18 years old, everyone in this world had the opportunity to awaken a talent. And now, it was Alarics turn. The ability to command flames, heal the injured, or even resurrect the dead; these were all possibilities.

Some people seemed anxious, others confident.

This scene hardly surprised Alaric. After being reborn in this world 18 years ago, he had plenty of time to adjust.

For the last 18 years, he had studied for the future. What abilities exist, their categories, and famous people of the past were all things he studied intensely. This allowed him to become known as a prodigy in his home village.

Alaric smirked, ”Today is the day my story begins! ”

Right now, Alaric was directly in front of what was known as an ”awakening crystal. ” These spheres, formed in areas of high-density mana, were often used to stimulate the latent talents that everyone had, thus awakening them.

These crystals were almost completely monopolized by the kingdom. As such, peasants such as Alaric had to go to a specific government building, an ”awakening station, ” to gain access to one. Luckily, it was free.

A government employee stood opposite to Alaric— holding the awakening crystal.

”Simply send your mana into this crystal, and your talent will be recorded upon it. ” the employee said.

Mana was a common place energy source in this world, and everyone had latent mana reserves. Controlling mana could be said to be as easy as moving ones arm.

Alaric laid his hand upon the crystal, directing his mana inside of it.

It glowed. The originally violet crystal, began glowing yellow!

The employee raised his eyebrows, ”Oh? A yellow glow means that you have awakened a Lord-type talent! ”

A persons supernatural talent could be separated into four different categories! Combat talents, Support talents, Lord talents, and Specialist talents.

The line of people behind Alaric began to murmur.

”A Lord-type has awakened? ”

”That lucky bastard! No matter how weak, he can still command a legion! ”

”Another prodigy has been born in our kingdom… ”

Alaric paused and thought to himself, The Lord category contains talents that allow an individual to control a group of entities to do their bidding…

The employee seemed impressed, ”Your parents are sure to be proud! Lords are quite rare! The empire may even try to bring you into their ranks! ”

”Well, that depends on the talent itself. ” Alaric said, unphased.

Looking deep into the crystal, the employee said, ”Worry not, the crystal shall record the details of your ability soon. ”

The crystal soon began glowing again, a set of words appearing within the crystal

[AUTHORITY AMONG SLIMES]

Alarics eyes widened, Fuck!

The government employee sighed, ”Well… it is better than some of the talents Ive seen today. Don sell yourself short. ”

The murmurs of the other people in line began.

”Doesn he seem disappointed? He got a Lord-type talent! ”

The young man directly behind Alaric exclaimed, ”He may have gotten a Lord
