A man who spent years reading a web novel with a disastrous ending suddenly finds himself inside that very story.
Unfortunately, he isn't reincarnated as the protagonist.
Nor as a powerful hunter.
Nor even as a human.
He wakes up as a weak Lesser Slime living in Jirisan Mountain.
Armed with knowledge of the original plot and a mysterious System that allows monsters to evolve, he realizes the world is heading toward an apocalypse that no one else can stop. To survive, he must hunt, devour, evolve, and grow stronger before the calamities foretold in the novel arrive.
From a helpless slime to a predator feared by hunters and monsters alike, his journey gradually entangles him with the story's original cast, including the earnest hunter Lee Eun-ha and the sharp-tongued tracker Hong Yuri. As the boundary between monster and human begins to blur, he must decide what kind of existence he wants to become—and whether changing the future is worth the price.
The ending of the novel was supposed to be inevitable.
This time, he intends to rewrite it.
