Condemned to Slime

"I incited them, you say? Anyone who could swallow such a preposterous tale would do well to have their own head examined."

Charlotte von Astoria — daughter of the kingdom's most illustrious house, radiant, brilliant, and utterly innocent of the crimes laid at her feet — is condemned before a jeering court and put to death.

And wakes up as the weakest monster in a modern dungeon: a slime.

Most would despair. Charlotte simply lifts her chin. Blessed with the title 〈Worldstrider〉 — no ceiling on her stats, no limit to her growth — she does what any lady of breeding would do with an appetite like hers: she 〈Absorb〉s. Gear, beasts, skills, whole guardians of legend — one by one they melt into her, and one by one she evolves. Adventurers flee. Streamers broadcast her rampages to a horrified, obsessed audience. The message boards have already given her a name.

The Calamity.

An OP villainess-slime power fantasy, told entirely in the voice of a magnificently haughty lady who has decided, thank you very much, that the whole world will simply have to become hers.
