Sli#47 used the skill, "Soul Chronicle."
[ Ding! A tiny portion of your soul essence has been reduced due to Soul Chronicle usage! ]
A small white shard ford in his soul dinsion.
The shard hid itself after materializing.
"How long do I need to depend on this skill?" he asked himself, eyes dim.
He sighed, glancing at the blue thread on his body bitterly. 'Dwelling on the past won't change the present.'
[ Ding! The Deviated Sli Tiline 2 is beginning in 10… 9… ]
'I'm ready.' He clenched his fists tightly. "I must at least save my sli family and others this ti."

"I'm your mama, child," Mama Sli cuddled with Young Sli.
"Hmm," Sli#47 also hugged her back. 'I won't lose you this ti.'
'Loopers like carry our mories. We rember past-loop love—every emotion. Lover and family won't. We're the only ones who rember. It's hell… Ti Hell.' His eyes dimd in realization.
It wasn't the slis' fault, as they were only alternate versions. Yet their deaths always flashed through his mind.
He let go of Mama Sli after a few monts and said, "Status."

'Damn it… Damnit,' he scowled, rembering that his original Will had only reduced to E at D.
He stayed silent for a mont. "30% of soul essence lost....Its effect."
"I have to level up more to acquire soul essence," he muttered. "It's the only way… like pouring more water into an already leaking container."
"The blessing from Instructor Thomas…" Sli#47 grinned lightly, glancing at the new trait.
"Most blessings and curses are inflicted on the soul. They can be carried over forever," he muttered, recalling how Holy Light of Purification was cast to nullify the eldritch contamination curse.
He then said, "Combat style status."
[ Ding! Opening Ancient Combat Style status! ]
[ Ancient Combat Style Lv.Max {Grade One}

Slot#2: N/A

'I'll fill the slots after I get the demonic magic,' he thought, narrowing his eyes.
He then slept for a few hours, feeling ntally tired. He woke up only when the sli farm owner ca in.
---
After a few hours…
"Gel Morph," he cast, attempting a humanoid body.
He tried to shapeshift into his humanoid form.
"I forgot," he clicked his tongue, feeling dizzy the next mont.
He collapsed after forming half of a humanoid body.
"Wait…" Elder Sli, who was watching over, muttered, his mouth wide open.
---
After he explained like the previous loop, while ntioning the regression trait, Old Sli nodded, understanding with a wide smile.
"I cannot use humanoid form until I reach Tier 2," Sli#47 muttered, planning his next steps.
---
He reached Level 10 quickly with the help of the mana crystals hidden under the trough.
"No Tier 2 masteries involved?" Young Sli muttered, tilting his body as he glanced at the list of classes.

'Fire Mage… Earth Mage… Lightning Mage… and Elentalist—they are all Mastery Tier 1…' he mused, clicking his tongue.
"Elder, why are only Mastery Tier 1 used at the Level 10 class list? I have Tier 2 masteries…" he asked Elder Sli. "If Tier 2 masteries enter, I'll get more powerful classes."
"Hm…" Elder Sli humd, folding his tiny hands behind his body. "Your idea is not bad… but answer first: if a Demon King reincarnates, he'd keep his Tier 5 masteries—so what class would he get at Level 10?" he asked calmly.
"Tch." Young Sli clicked his tongue. "So, only the mastery of the next tier would function?"
"Yes. If evolving to Tier 1, Masteries Tier 1 will co in… if Tier 2, Masteries Tier 2," Elder Sli replied, explaining with an example.
Sli#47 could only pick Elentalist and proceed to further leveling.

A few days passed as he reached Level 50.
[ Ding! Opening the list of available racial evolution! ]
[ Ding! Available racial evolutions! ]
[ —Big Sli {Uncommon}—
…
Ding! Detected Acid Fist!

Unlocked: Lesser Elental Spirit Sli {Uncommon }! ]
'Yes…' he grinned. This was what he wanted. 'Though it's lesser...it's still a spirit sli....available at tier 2.'
He was under pressure, hence he couldn't pick Elental Spirit Sli in the previous loop.
And in the last two loops, he picked lesser elental sli, without glancing deeply at the list, as he was too familiar with it.
He just quickly went through the list, 'Hmmm...I feel elental spirit sli's strongest,' He mused, deciding.
He only now checked the list due to new race info from the previous loop.
'Now, I still have ti to take part in the trial… I'll get it and level up the skills,' he mused, planning.
He clicked on the Lesser Elental Spirit Sli.
[ Ding! Pick a safe spot! ]
He fainted.
---
After a few hours, he woke up with a new racial body.
[ Ding! You have acquired the skill… ]
[ Ding! You have acquired the skill… ]

'I don't feel any difference,' he mused—then froze a second later as he glanced at his multicolored, adorable reflection from the trough.
"Wh… what an incredible power," he muttered, sensing his raging power.
[ Ding! You have the trait 'Lesser Spirit Body' {Uncommon }! ]
"Spirit Body…?" he said, rubbing his chin as he shapeshifted into a humanoid form.
'I don't feel any difference,' he mused, patting his body.
His reflection flashed in the water—a five- or six-year-old human kid, except he was made of a multicolored jelly body with no hair, a bald head.
"I don't have private parts to cover to begin with…" he said, glancing at his lower body.
It was soft and plain—jelly torso and limbs.
Wob!
"Child… you're too ugly…" Mama Sli cried, suddenly jumping onto Young Sli's shoulders.
"Hmm… bad?" Sli#47 asked, tilting his head.
A cute sli kid was visible in the water. "How am I ugly?" He didn't understand.
Mama Sli pulled his head and replied, "It's like a box… change it to round…"
She began to give instructions, which Young Sli couldn't disobey.
He first shifted his head to a round shape, removed his ears and nose, and made all the changes Mama Sli ntioned.1
"A plushie…" he yelled, as he glanced at his reflection.
"Hmmm." Mama Sli proudly humd with a grin.
"If ladies from my previous life were to see … I'm done," he muttered, imagining how he'd be used as a sleep partner in bed and a hugging buddy.
He shook his head. "No, Mama… I won't use this shape," he said, glaring at Mama Sli.
"You won't listen to …" Mama Sli muttered as her eyes began to water. "As expected...child has grown up."
"What the—!" Young Sli almost tripped, unable to contain himself at Mama Sli's reaction.
Water drops fell from Mama Sli's eyes. 'Slis can indeed cry… I did tear up in that black void once,' he mused, impressed by sli biology.
"Okay, okay… I will keep my form like this," he said, sighing.
"Hmmm." Mama Sli grinned widely.
Elder Sli wobbled his body, muttering, "Child, you're too young to understand Mama Sli's tactic."
"Did you say anything?" Mama Sli asked, her eyes growing bright as she glanced piercingly at Old Sli.
"No… no… nothing," Elder Sli shook, denying it.
"But Mama—" Before Young Sli could say sothing, Mama Sli burst into tears again. "Child, you've grown up… no longer listening to Mama."
"No… no. I don't have enough reserves…" Sli#47 said softly, wiping Mama Sli's tears.
"Hmm… then once you have enough mana, you have to be in this form only?" Mama Sli sternly warned. "Or else…" She cried louder.
"Okay… okay, I will." Sli#47 nodded rapidly, agreeing.
'Wait a minute…' he mused, eyes widening. 'How does she know it's a mana skill…?'
'If it's Elder Sli, I can understand. But Mama… how?' he wondered, eyes narrowing at Mama Sli—who was already bouncing away, Wob!, grinning widely.
Sa as in the cover photo....Just that he doesn't have proper clothing here.
