In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

"Haha, this is the happiest day of my three hundred years, because I, the Storm Dragon, have made two friends today."

The roar was so loud that the surrounding space trembled, yet the Storm Dragon remained as imposing as ever.

Li Qing smiled as he looked at the Storm Dragon's behavior, and could understand its loneliness over the past three hundred years.

"Now that we're friends, let's see how we get the Storm Dragon out!"

Seeing the Storm Dragon so excited, the slime's kind heart led him to utter those words without thinking.

"Don't you think so, Second Brother Elf?"

"Um."

"We cannot stand by and watch our friends remain trapped in the seal forever."

Li Qing nodded without hesitation and said directly.

"you...."

Storm Dragon was surprised that the first thing his two new friends thought of was to help him get out of the seal. To be honest, he was very touched, but he was a proud dragon, so how could he show such an expression?

"Hmph, you lot... You should know this is the [Infinite Prison], otherwise I wouldn't have been trapped here for three hundred years..."

After saying that, he turned his head to the side.

"How will you know if you don't try? Slime, ask your Great Sage; perhaps he has a solution."

"it is good"

He didn't stop there; he silently asked his master for a solution.

"Analyzing and searching for a solution... Search successful."

"Tell me quickly."

"I'm sorry, there are two solutions."

"Firstly, the host can hunt down the sealed Storm Dragon through the [Raider]. Due to the Storm Dragon's special characteristics, its entire body can be used as high-level material and stored in the material library. Afterwards, there is a low probability of reviving the Storm Dragon through [Synthesis Creation]."

"Secondly, the slime's [Predator] will swallow the entire seal and the Storm Dragon into its unique spatial stomach..."

After hearing this, Li Qing's expression turned grim.

"What the hell, [Overlord]? Are you kidding me? Hunting Storm Dragons? And resurrecting them? Can you be any more reliable?!"

"And there's this second one, I already knew that, did you need to tell me?"

"Forget it, forget it. Let's watch the slime's performance!"

The Storm Dragon could tell from the little sprite's expression that it couldn't save it.

"I'm sorry! The chances of Storm Dragon rescuing you in my current state are still too slim."

"Haha, it's alright, I'm used to it. Besides, my magic essence is constantly being depleted. I'm afraid my magic power will be completely depleted in another hundred years... Hehe, at that time, it will just mean death..."

Storm Dragon said these words in a nonchalant tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine. Having endured a long period of loneliness, death didn't seem so significant to him...

"Storm Dragon, you can definitely get out of here. The slime can definitely save you."

"Haha, I hope so!"

The slime, who had also been distracted by the Great Sage's conversation, spoke to the Storm Dragon with a look of delight.

"Brother Elf is right, I have a way to save you!"

The Storm Dragon looked at the tiny slime in disbelief.

"Is there really a way...?"

The subsequent plot unfolded as Li Qing remembered: the slime explained to the Storm Dragon how to temporarily escape using the [Predator] ability.

(I'm sure all you handsome readers already know this, so I won't go into details lest you accuse me of padding the word count. (˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) -- Just kidding...)

"If that's the case..."

A glint of excitement flashed in the Storm Dragon's eyes.

"Haha, then I'll entrust everything to you."

"Alright then! I'll prepare [Predator] now."

The slime spoke in a firm tone.

"Wait a minute, let me give you some names first!"

The slime looked puzzled, but a hint of joy flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

"Give me a name too, and etch it on my soul as proof that we are equal, just like a human surname."

"Of course, the names I give you will be called [Blessing]. You don't have names yet, right? This way, you can become [Named Monsters]."

The slime may not yet realize what a "named monster" is, and simply thinks it's just about deepening the relationship.

"A monster with a name? Elf brother, that sounds good!"

The slime looked at Li Qing with an innocent and happy expression.

"Um."

"Then please help me come up with a powerful and cool name!"

A dragon with a chuunibyou (delusional) personality told them its requirements.

"Good" x 2

Li Qing and the slime exchanged a smile.

"Storm Dragon, um... corresponds to storm... how do you say storm in English again?"

The slime looked thoughtful.

"Tempest!"

Li Qing offered a reminder from the side.

"Ah! Yes, Tempesr... Tempesr!"

"What? Tempest?"

"What, you're not satisfied?"

The slime looked at the Storm Dragon and asked, "That's a very meaningful name!"

"Wow! Tempest! That's so cool! So awesome!"

"From now on, I will be called Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest."

Upon hearing the name, the Storm Dragon became excited and roared again.

It seems Storm Dragon is quite satisfied with this name.

Next, it's Storm Dragon's turn to name them.

"Hmm, if it's a slime... how about we name it Rimuru?"

"Okay, this name sounds good. I'll be called Rimuru from now on."

Rimuru smiled happily.

"As for you, Ice Sprite, let me think... Oh, what should I do? By the way, do you have any ideas?"

Storm Dragon really couldn't think of a good name for Li Qing, so he could only ask.

Li Qing had already made up his mind and responded to the Storm Dragon without hesitation.

"Actually, in my hometown legend, there was a mysterious ancient god named Grans who controlled the death of all living beings and the ice of nature..."

"I've decided, my name will be—Granda."

"Gransta? That sounds like a nice name. Alright then! I'll name you Gransta."

Storm Dragon also immediately confirmed Li Qing's name without hesitation.

From now on, he will be called Gransta Tempest in this world, while the slime will remain Rimuru Tempest from our memories.

The moment the Storm Dragon finished naming them.

A blinding white light emanated from Gransta and Rimuru.

"Announcement: The host has received the Storm Dragon's [Blessing] and has become a [Named Monster]." ✘2

The voices of their unique skills echoed in Gransta and Rimuru's minds respectively.

Soon the white light on Rimuru's body dissipated, and a round slime appeared.

But it doesn't seem like anything has changed? It doesn't feel the same at all?

It still had that adorable, clueless look on its face, unaware that the magic power within it had risen to a terrifying level.

"Huh? Is Gransta not ready yet?"

Rimuru turned his gaze towards Gransta, whose white light had inexplicably persisted for a long time...
