"Moonstruck" by Pink Ranger, opening crawl.
This was a tumultuous time for the V&V empire. The good Emperor Winkel, may he be rich, defeated the legions of thieves who threatened his treasure. The way to the stars is open!
Amidst the fragments of the destroyed metal arrow, the brave Bass Jelly prepares to board a ship heading for Mumoon! Its mission: to capture new planets in the name of empire and greed! A vast amount of gold awaits in the far reaches of space , but the danger also exists!
In front of a group of Lunarian believers, Bass Jelly received the blessings and buffs of their prophet (and the Emperor's secret true love) Lord Victor, who was the first of the entourage. When the young armyworm jumped aboard the Sword Rocket, His Majesty Winkel personally wished it good luck.
But no one could have foreseen this tragedy, which will forever be known as the "Moon Disaster."
Moooo
…
Buzz Jelly looked up at the night sky, and the things in his dream were really flickering. A huge metal sword, the largest Bass had ever seen, was pointed at Aster, ready to pierce the planet with its sharp edge. The giant dwarf opens its belly and Buzz jumps in, its ovipositor ready to give the stuntman one last hug.
"Young!" Little Vai
queue
, or like its p
osamgsamade, also known as "Excalidad", protested. Although it had agreed to let Buzz pursue its dreams, now that the fateful day has arrived... "Young!"
"Sword Rocket," Bass assured its new owner, reminding it of the sword's absolute superiority over all other shapes. To ensure the success of the mission, Lord Victor also buffed the slime as much as possible.
"Sword rocket," Excalidad admitted, though he was still worried. "Far!"
"Come back!" Bass agreed, then enthusiastically reiterated his pursuit of his passion. "dream!"
Convinced by his impeccable words, Excalidad nuzzled Bass and wished it good luck.
"Let's do a final rundown," Bass's coach, the dwarf Marbret, said briefly with the engineers. "We only have enough energy stones for a one-way trip. In order to speed up the launch date and give hope to the people after the rebellion, we have removed all unnecessary parts of the ship. Seats, air, food..."
"Nothing but slime or ghosts survives the journey," one engineer said, which Bass took as a compliment. "You alone can survive acceleration, the vacuum of space, and no coating."
"I remind you that your ship is safe because you have a chance to survive," Mabro added. "You, Slush, are the true warriors of the 'egalitarian revolution'. You can do it. You can export the revolution to the stars."
"Stars!" Buzz agreed, even though he secretly disapproved of the cause. The most important thing for these scumbags is to realize their dreams and serve their country.
"Your role is twofold. First, you must make it all the way to the crash. Second, you must press the red button in your cabin so that our [warp projector] can open the space between our two worlds. The portal. We will take immediate action to strengthen the portal and ensure a permanent passage between the Whisperers and the Moon."
"Push!" Buzz repeated. "Button!"
"Remember your training," the giant dwarf tells Jelly, reminding him of the countless times "invisible vampire capitalist rebels" have tried to sabotage the mission by blowing up the prototype. "Survive and press the button!"
Jelly jumped up in response before turning one last time to see a group of legged creatures who would witness the launch. It recognized Bane, the giant among giants, the great Wink knight, and Victor, the grand vizier who had always believed in slime. Its a hero!
"Believe!" Bass, driven by passion, published slimeki
The most lengthy speech d has ever known. "Dream! Real! Work! Fly! Moon moon! Sword! Oh my god!"
However, this speech caused great controversy among the audience.
“Does the chosen jelly speak of heaven? Is this a political statement?”
"This is Angel product placement!"
“Moooooooooooo
!”
Buzz turned and jumped into the sword rocket. The metal door closed behind it, sealing the jelly into a cabin filled with steel gears, tin pipes, and other machine materials; the big, round red button waited on the wall for a touch. Only a glass window allowed the stuntman to see the outside world.
The dwarves were as eager to penetrate the sky as Baz was, and immediately launched. The slime trembled in fear, awaiting its fateful moment.
Then……
KABOOOOOM!!
Driven by the flame and gravity mixed energy stone, the sword rocket flew directly into the sky at extremely fast speeds. The tremendous pressure crushed Bass like a puddle on the ground.
Almost as the craft flew through the clouds, one of the pipes burst, sending shoddy bolts spraying in all directions. Steam enters the cabin and almost heats the entire spacecraft!
Bass, accustomed to poor dwarf work, jumped into action. The slime twisted its body into the shape of a tube, replacing the metal one. The steam scorched it and boiled its slime!
You took moderate [Fire] damage! [Reply] activate!
The heat was unbearable, but Bas endured the pain. It has HP and it has will!
For long, agonizing minutes, the slime held on to the craft, even as it rocked and threatened to shatter like all the craft before it.
Finally, as the blue outside began to darken, the steam weakened and the flames' energy stones ran out. Buzz quickly grabbed the metal pipe flying in the cabin, jumped it back into place, and installed the screws. Because it's so thin, it does a great job even without hands, but there's still a little bit of steam that sneaks into the cabin.
But it gave Buzz enough breathing room to slam his body against the window so he could fully see!
． ． ．
pretty!
The giant blue slime, with legs called the Ocean, covers almost the entire world! It must have eaten other continents! Gu Gu Gu has turned into a large piece of sand surrounded by sea water, and Jelly is amazed at the perfect roundness of the world.
Slime can see the mythical island of Atlantis between its homeworld and the edge of another giant continent. It also noted other wonders: islands floating in the sky, anchored to the ground by beans; trees taller than mountains; giants sleeping at the bottom of the ocean; and even a smaller black moon orbiting the Earth, anchored by dark clouds Covered!
After a rapid ascent, the spacecraft slows down into space. Buzz could finally gaze at the stars, these twinkling, maddening lights floating in the darkness.
Congratulations! As the first slime to go into space, you achieved ten levels in the extremely prestigious [Astronaut] class! You achieved [Star Photography], [Blue Ozone], [Space], [V -Galactic] and [Eldridge Detection] career perks!

Warning: You have reached the level 30 threshold. You will no longer be able to take new levels until you find a [Crown].
Jelly ignored the notification, mesmerized by the beauty before her.
Then, the sword rocket shook as if it hit something.
Buzz's eyes glanced toward the edge of the window, and a monster appeared.
The creature was unlike anything Bass had ever seen in this round world: it was a pink, fungal crustacean with a head covered in tentacles. Although it has bat-like wings, it spends most of its time hanging from the surface of the craft due to the numerous pairs of appendages wriggling beneath its body. It then watches through the window, its alien mind telepathically communicating with young Buzz.
"Look at that!" the creature muttered to itself in Larekhan, a language Bas learned while communicating with the Moonmen. "An immigrant!"
"Moonsword rocket!" Buzz argued in his mind as he jumped back into the cabin, surprised that he could form a three-word sentence. Then it remembered that its intelligence had increased by 10 points! "Imperial Peace Money!"
"Don't lie to me, I know people like you!" You are a dirty carbon-based foreigner who has broken into our space! You pretend to be innocent, but if I don't pay attention, you will harass our squid, Play the trumpet on our asteroid!"
"Air has no sound!" Bass pointed out that there couldn't be any music in space because it has no atmosphere.
"I just want to say, if you carbon creatures are good at everything, why do you need heterosexual partners to reproduce? Instead of holding the face of a lower life and letting it carry your eggs?" That guy through reinforcement Peeking out of the glass, I found the red button. "What is this, some kind of carbon egg bag?"
Buzz panics, realizing the mission is in jeopardy. "Don't touch the button!"
The weird alien screamed back, unleashing a burst of pure psychic energy that shattered the glass and sent Buzz crashing into the wall. “Brain jammer!
The creature attacks Bass through their telepathy, invading the young slimy mind with terrifying extraterrestrial evils. The great, forgotten god has tentacles, a mouth and eyes!
s eyes……
A treasure for the eyes!
Bass immediately pounced on one of the terrifying eyes...
And then ate it!
[The madness is gone!
The illusion is shattered and Buzz returns to reality; that is, chewing the alien's head.
"That dirty alien bit me!" the alien complained, managing to push Buzz away from its face. The only oxygen left in the cabin, coupled with gravity, was running low. The slime managed to land on the wall and used its momentum to launch itself towards the intruder.
"The eye treasure is delicious!" Bass roared like a lion, and then tried to slam the enemy again.
No harm done!
But the larger alien beast sweeps Buzz aside and attempts to invade the cabin. The enemy approaches the button with one of its attachments, threatening to end the mission.
The young clingy warrior spirit was spurned by the thought of his country's failure. Buzz jumped on the damaged pipe and knocked it off; it then fashioned its slimy body to redirect the concentrated steam towards the alien. The beast screamed in agony as the jelly blasted heated gas into its tentacles.
Buzz then uses its body to close the pipe, allowing pressure to build up and reach boiling point.
"empire!"
The jet of steam hurled the young slime like a cannonball towards his enemy, slamming him out of the cabin. Buzz kept bouncing back into the cabin, shattering some of the gears, while the Invaders flew through space, being distanced by sword rockets.
Even without gravity, the young astronaut managed to stick himself to the wall of the spacecraft, peering through the breached windows and seeing with his own eyes.
It's almost as beautiful as it seems; even up close, it seems less silver and more like a dark gray. The slime noticed cities of black spiers and lakes of toxic tar sprawling across the surface, which outsiders mistook for blobs. Tentacles protruded from the crater that began on the dark side of the moon, twisting wildly and spreading purple clouds to the light side.
In short, this is a perfect colony!
However, as expected, there was an atmosphere at Moumoon; that meant a serious crash.
To make matters worse, the aliens have penetrated the coating! Buzz must protect the cabin, otherwise entering the hatch may damage the buttons!
Buzz stretched out to cover the hole in the window, gluing himself to the metal of the ship as he entered the Moon's atmosphere. The ship was on fire, the jelly-skin surface burning with slime.
You took severe [fire] damage!
Warning: You have lost a quarter of your HP.
The pain was unbearable, but Bass refused to let go. As long as the shuttle is alive, no flames will enter it!
Warning that your blood volume has dropped below half!
No matter what happened, Bass closed his eyes and clung to the ship with his last strength. It must live, land on the moon, and look up to its homeland with patriotic pride!
Important health!
When the sword rocket crashed on the surface of the Moon planet, the thought that its master was waiting for its return flashed through its young mind. The plane rocked and the fire was extinguished by a gray dust storm until the plane slowed.
When Buzz finally opened his eyes, the spacecraft had been broken in half, but the cabin and buttons were intact. Two tentacled white beasts stared at the young slime from the gray shores of Tar Lake.
When Buzz landed on the beach, recovering from his burns, he thought: What a small jump for a slime.
But this is a huge leap for the Empire!

"Survived?" the first squid asked in Rehan language.
"You owe me twenty thousand shells," another animal replied to its complaining companion. "I am Thor Garza, the Chosen Slime. Welcome to Moo!"
"Mooooooo
!”
You overcame many difficulties and became the first carbon-based creature to reach the moon from Overmond. You won the [Heroic Crest].
Bass glanced up and saw a rainbow-colored treasure falling from the sky. Slime saw it, but the young adventurer took one glance and was disappointed.
Not enough swordsmanship.
The astronaut decided to present the treasure to Ekkalida as a souvenir and then jumped back into the wreckage of the Sword rocket to fulfill his patriotic duty.
The mission is not over yet.
Buzz jumped up and smashed the big red button.
Fankel could barely contain his joy as the rift in space opened. The entire crowd fell silent, their hearts occupied by religious silence. Finally, after an agonizing minute, a white squid and jellyfish emerged with a strange C
est walked out the door.
Seafood sized up the minions, waved his tentacles toward Manlin Victor, and then addressed the audience. "We come in peace, children!" said the squid in the primitive language of its kind. “Our Father’s will has been accomplished!”
There were cries of joy and relief from Manlin Victor's enthusiastic entourage, even though they probably didn't understand their language.
"Suck my tentacles!" added the squid, and the followers cried out with joy as before. The thing made a sound that Fankel thought was a sigh. “Love your flock, they say…”
"Is there air on your moon?" asked Manlin Victor, more excited than Winkle had ever seen him. "I don't have one on mine."
"Ah, your gametes do need oxygen to survive," the squid said. "We have an atmosphere that you can survive in. But don't eat this food unless you want a third leg."
"Then I'll come first!" Manlin Victor immediately walked through the door.
"Finally, a new world without dragons, but full of quests and adventures!" Fankel was delighted, and he stepped through the portal himself.
Only to wait until his servant stepped out, his skin drained of all color and his expression torn between panic and shock. "Your Majesty, no!" he implored his master. "Don't cross the river!"
What's the matter? Why? "I want to see the moon with my own eyes, slave."
"Your Majesty, if you...if you see that side...you will never come back!"
Oh? Is the moon made of gold? Winkle immediately jumped through the portal, controlled by greed.
He slowly landed on the other side, his paws sinking into a gray desert. The sky was as dark as the most terrible darkness, more terrible than the blue sun above him. There was a terrible smell in the air. Winkle felt an overwhelming fear, and his instincts told him that he had stepped into a place where dragons should not tread.
Why? Why were his dragon survival instincts going into overdrive? What could threaten him? A bug biting his ankle? He looked down at the ground.
On the ground...
Winkle's voice caught in his throat when he realized his leg had dug into something.
lead
Lead is everywhere!
Winkle looked around wildly and saw an entire mountain of cursed metal surrounding him. Horrifying, insane revelations play out in his mind, and an ancient cosmic truth explodes in his naive mind.
moon……
The moon is made of lead!
Vitality check failed!
Winkle felt a sharp pain in his chest, right where his heart was. The dragon struggled to breathe for the first time in his long life. "Minion... Minion..."
The emperor fell on the lead bar, dying.
In that dark day, the Whisperers nearly lost its beloved ruler. The kind-hearted Emperor Winkel, who once defeated countless enemies, fell from a stroke; his kind heart was shattered by the terrible truth of the universe.
Only the kindness of Vizier Victor and the efforts of his loyal servants saved the emperor from certain death. They take the dragon to the only place that can save him: his treasure. For hours they showered him with gold and gems, until at last the dragon's heart began to beat again. One minute late and the Cuckoo will lose its beloved master.
"Slave..." This was the first thing the kind emperor said after waking up.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" the handsome Victor asked his beloved master, his voice full of worry.
"The moon cannot sustain dragon life..." lamented the good emperor. His dream of completing a space mission was shattered, shattered forever.
Because we often look up to the sky, hoping for gold.
But sometimes, there's just lead.
