"The Dragon That Changed Everything" Rimuru X OC Character

Ch 23 Unforeseen Consequence

Within Erogon sealed cavern,Erogon's True Dragon form has finally healed. "Finally the damage from the void is healed, but now a new problem has come to my attention." As he turned into his human form and found many cracks throughout his body and soul. "I have too many Ultimate Skills and my body and soul can't handle them so I need to consolidate them to about four which will be tricky, especially with the time crunch I have, don't you agree little one?" As he looked at a small pink slime monster with two antennas.

"Well if you need to then do it," said the slime, "I just messed up in a spell and landed here but I don't sense the mirror dimension in this world."
"That's because I destroyed it when I entered this world by mere coincidence," said Erogon, "can you forgive me?"
"Then how am I alive?" Said the slime.
"Probably because you were dropped in here," said Erogon as he erected two barriers, one around himself and one around the slime, "Since this place is teeming with magiculs similar to the mirror dimension, and I swore to protect your base anyway."
"Really?!" Said the slime shocked, "wait how did you know?" As the slime watch as orbs of light left Erogon's body the orbs changed forms to numerous shapes and forms some looked like magic, some like creatures, while others looked like machines they did not recognize. Wait are all of those orbs skills! There's thousands and if the larger ones are ultimate skills there's at least fifty of them!!!
As one of the orbs land in Erogon's hands it looked like a simple red thread, but the orb of light was the size of an ultimate skill. "This skill is prominently named Fate Weaver it sounds simple, but the simplest of things are the most complex, it allows me to see the fates of people I look at or any of my servants and subordinates. Since I can see through their eyes. Also as a sub skill of it allows me to alter fate to a certain level of degree." As he let the orb go and it floated up to the other skills. "Now what is your name? You haven't told me." Said Erogon looking at the slime.

"My name was Shinsha," said the slime, "but after getting here I seem to have lost my name."
"I see," said Erogon pondering her words "what if I return the name to you?"
"What do you mean?" Said the slime.
"Well with all of my skills outside of my body I'm at a similar power level as rimaru before he became a demon lord, so if I give you your old name back and return you to him after he becomes a demon lord and he says your name and you accept him he will override my naming easily." Said Erogon as some of the skills started to merge together.
"Let's do it," said the slime, "but how will I be introduced to my father?"
Erogon put a finger to his lips, "a secret Shinsha." As soon as Erogon said her name she glowed and gain a small amount of magiculs and she took on her human form.
Shinsha looks like Rimaru but has red eyes short hair with pink highlights on the tips, with a little bit more on the feminine side in features. "Thank you Erogon, but why can't I leave this cave?"
"Well for two reasons," said Erogon as one orb fell into his hands, "One is your new name. Due to the strong connection between you and me you can't leave the barrier, even though Rimaru can break that connection after naming you." As he ate the orb and his power skyrocketed, "The second is the wish that created you doesn't exist, the ogre princess has yet to be named and Rimaru Tempest has yet to reincarnate into this world. That is the main reason." As the other skills formed together into four orbs and Erogon consumed all of them.

Shinsha pondered for a few hours, "ok so my original wish from Shuna technically doesn't exist, so the only thing keeping me alive is the density of the magiculs in here and you giving me my old name." And Erogon nodded as his barrier collapsed but Shinsha's changed to an invisibility spell as she was about to speak Erogon made a shush gesture and looked up.

"Why don't you come down instead of milling around up there." Said Erogon as a figure dropped down and made a large dust cloud from the impact.

"Man how did you know I was there?" Said a man as the dust settled he wore an eerie-looking mask with an asymmetrical smile decorated with rabbit ears and a big jewel in the middle, that made it look like he was sneering at anyone he showed it to. Only his short red hair on the sides and long in the back is visible under the mask. His clothes look like a clown with bright color pattern with a bright red ribbon for a belt and yellow fur on the neck, with plain gloves and pointy boots.

"As soon as you passed through that door I sensed you," said Erogon, "Laplace." As Erogon said his name he slightly backed away.

So he knew this whole time? He is one person my master told me not to engage in, but he also bullied Clayman when they first meet during Walpurgis. "Well you seem to know a lot about me," said Laplace as he bowed out of respect, "yes I am Laplace of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance, it is a pleasure to meet you." As Erogon chuckled at his response.
"So that's the route you decide to take," said Erogon as Laplace tilted his head, "sorry I thought you would straight up and attack me due to Clayman a few years ago, but you peaked in interesting me." As he formed a table with two chairs made from magic ore and Erogon sat in one of the chairs, "if you want sit with me."

"Well," said Laplace walking over and sitting down, "I'm not on a job or time crunch at the moment and I only found this place due to master Kazalim's notes but I did not expect to start in Duargon for the path."
Wait these two know each other!!! Thought Shinsha, no I think they only just meet.
"I didn't make the cavern," said Erogon, "I'm just using it to recover and reorganize my power."
"Fufufuf hahahahaha," chuckled Laplace, "if that wasn't more of a blatant lie I would have never found this place it would be connected to Falmuth instead of Duargon."
"Who said it wouldn't?" Said Erogon drinking some conjectured tea. "But we're getting off topic, are you here to collect the reward for Kazalim?"

Oh this Kazalim was right about him always straight to the point, I like to try working with him from time to time. Though Laplace, "yes I am, I think it may help in my master's resurrection."
Erogon chuckled as he got up and walked to the side of the cave and ripped out a large chunk of Magic ore and started to compress the entire chunk to about eighteen inches in diameter. "Time I play a game with you, Laplace."
What the hell that chunk was at least twelve feet tall and twenty-four inches wide and he completely shrunk no, he bloody modeled it to that sphere! "Ok what's the game?" Replied Laplace as Erogon tossed the orb and Laplace catches it with ease. This orb for its size has barely any weight and it looks like pure magisteel!
"It's a simple word game," said Erogon sitting back down, "What has value but can never be fixed once broken?" As Erogon grinned, "just think on it for a while and hand that to your other employer through Clayman, it may aid in another venture."

"Well then," said Laplace getting up and taking a small bow, "I best be on my way." As he vanished from sight.
"Yeah," said Erogon snickering, "I hope all parties involved like the gift." As Shinsha's barrier collapsed
"What did you do?" She said as Erogon shrugged his shoulders.
"Only time will tell," said Erogon, "but that slime will be born in a few years time."
