They called him a pest. They called his family an infestation. They were wrong.
August was content with his simple life in the damp corners of the dungeon. As a Lesser Slime, his dreams were small: a warm puddle, a safe corner, and the company of his colony. But in a world ruled by the System—where power is measured in Tiers and humanity reigns supreme—even the smallest dreams can be crushed.
When a party of high-tier adventurers slaughters his family for sport, August is left broken in the wreckage of his home. But the adventurers' victory is short-lived. A B-Grade Lizard, a monster of nightmares, descends upon them, obliterating the party in a frenzy of blood and fear.
In the chaos, something impossible happens. The adventurers' Systems—mystical interfaces that govern reality—panic. With their hosts dead but the program unable to terminate, the five Systems do the unthinkable: they turn to the only life form nearby.
They choose August.
Four Systems merge into one; the fifth dies screaming. Entangled and desperate, they force their way into August’s mind, forging a "Super System"—an intelligent, glitching abomination of power and knowledge trapped inside the body of a lowly slime.
Now, August isn't just a survivor. He is the host of a weapon designed for vengeance. The Super System offers him a path to retribution, a way to morph into human form and crawl into the civilization that destroyed him.
He will wear their face. He will learn their secrets. And he will make them pay.
From the dungeon floor to the heart of the capital, watch as a Lesser Slime evolves into humanity's worst nightmare ....
