Slime Snack - Patreon Ex. Story! + Dialogue-less Ver.

The hero held the torch aloft over his head, the orange light bouncing off the dim, silent walls of the cave. His armoured greaves clacked against the stone floor, the echo running ahead down the long corridor and coming right back to him, eager to report just how empty this cave was. The hero frowned, looking at the piece of torn parchment in his hand.

“HELP NEEDED! MONSTER IN LOCAL CAVE NEEDS SLAYING! HERO WHO DEFEATS WELCOME TO ALL TREASURE INSIDE THE CAVE!”

The hero kept a hand on his belt. Admittedly he wasn’t approaching stealthily, but cave didn’t even have a mark that could give him a clue what he would be looking for. No scratches, no fur or dander left around. No droppings or dark patches of prey viscera… there wasn’t even any foot steps. He was beginning to wonder if he was the victim of a kids prank. A jape to send him into an empty cave purely for the amusement of some untraceable group of children. The hero sighed. Still, he wasn’t at the end of the cave yet, he had a duty to right to the bottom and see if there truly was anything to worry about. And if it was empty… he had a duty to track down the brat who did this and give them a good hiding.

Light rebounded at a strange angle. A dazzling criss-crossing disco of light beams spilling out in front of him. The hero blinked in confusion- before his eyes followed the beam to their source. And there it stood. A massive pile, of glittering shinning gold. Treasure as far as the eye could see. The hero gawked in amazement, at the trove of currency, gemstones and weaponry sitting at his feet. He looked once more at the request in his hand. “WELCOME TO ALL TREASURE”. Right there in black and white. The hero looked left. He looked right. There really was nothing here. Yep… seemed this really was all his.

CLANG! The hero braced as he was shoved by something slamming into his back out of nowhere, the strength too strong, as he was slammed forward onto his front. The hero’s hand shooting for his sword, with his body pinned, he couldn’t easily draw it- his hand pushing through something heavy, thick, viscous. Soon it began to close around his body more, feeling the strange liquid pushing over his head, his waist, his legs- No, this isn’t liquid, it’s slime-!

“Always so fun when food walks right into your home, isn’t it…” A honey voice rolled out, as the hero fought for his freedom. More weight settled, slopping down ontop of his as the slime kept him in his place, their body letting gravity surge over him. All the struggling and squirming did nothing, as the slime’s thick, large body pressed over him, until the hero was fully subsumed. Every last inch.

Rose pulled his body up to height. A tall, humanoid figure comprised entirely of heavy, pink sludge, that formed a curvaceous silhouette. The heroes torch sat on the floor, inches away from the gold, sadly burning in the dim cave… the only thing the hero had left in the outside world, trapped in the glassy interior of the massive pink slime who had got the jump on him. The hero held his breath, throwing his arms around, thrashing in the liquid, but it was impossible. His own heavy armour acting as a weapon against him, the liquid so heavy, tight, oppressive… that every movement just sought to drain more energy out of him, until the hero was stuck, weakly floating in the slime’s torso.

The slime then pushed him, pushing his body up. Rose’s curvy chest parting slightly, as a window opened up for the heroes’ face to poke out. He gasped for air, only for slime to drip from the predatory ooze’s “hair”. Forced to keep his eyes and mouth shut, all the hero could do now, was listen…

“I’ve caught you, hero.” That honeyed voice cooed, pooling over the hero’s eardrums slickly. “There’s nothing you can do now… but sink into me~” Rose said, his hands coming off his chest… and letting the shorter, weaker, worn out ‘hero’… fall into his body. Exhaustion making the hero succumb to sleep, trapped in the slimes body. The last thing he would see, was the sea of gold, tinkling tauntingly, just outside the window of the slime’s translucent body.

“That notice was the best idea I’ve ever had~” Rose cooed, picking up the page of parchment with his sticky fingers. “Food to your door, no hunting required… just have to wait for the next one to show…”

There was a clack of metal on rock, echoing down the cave.

“Already~? I’m eating good tonight~”
