Author's Note: Going to try out a few things I thought might be interesting. Thus this story is gonig to be split into various parts covering different time periods. Also I read a version of the web novel reincarnated as a slime to the end, thus there will be a lot spoilers since I found too hard to try write around them

Sixty five thousand five hundred forty five

That is the recorded amount of time that the one known as Chloe Aubert has repeated her life since the counting had started. There was no telling just how many times she had repeated her entire life without being aware that it was even happening to her. It was something that was no longer known to Chloe. What had jolted her awareness that it was even happening to start with that is.

From her current perspective, things just happened one day and she became aware that she was living the same days over and over again at some point. Merely thinks of the number of times she has repeated her life as countless.

Realizing that she was trapped with what to her seemed like an endless time loop where she would live her entire life to the end and then repeat it fully from the very time of her birth to the time of her death was something she had no control over at first as everything would just play out as it had the very first time until the very first end without her input at all. She was basically a passager in her own body aware that things were going to repeat but unable to change them that was until she managed to get a hold of things learning that this was not something someone else subjected her to but something she was doing herself. Thus if she was doing it somehow then Chloe figured that she would be able to control it somehow if that were the case.

This took a lot of time but that was all she had in this endless time loop she was stuck in and eventually, she managed to gain control over herself once again and was no longer a passager in her own body. Of course, the first thing she thought about doing was changing things so that she would not die nor would everyone else around her either as maybe if she prevented what causes her death then she could finally end this time loop that she had gone herself stuck in.

Changing the past is something that might seem simple for those that can travel through time however turns out it is not as easy as it originally seems. Freezing time even truly stopping time to the point where unless you have to possess the correct skillset to even move properly let alone fight in that state. It turns out all those things were far easier than changing a past event from happening. This was something that Chloe Aubert learned the hard way when she attempted to change the past herself.

Though the first thing she had to learn how to do was how to move her starting point to where she wanted it to be rather than where it currently was that being her birth itself. The very start of her life was the start of the time loop itself and she did not want to have to relive her life from that start point every time anymore. Eventually, she moved it up and learned how to set a point in her life she wanted as the new start of the time loop thus she would be able to slowly make progress and it was insanely slow.

The future that Chloe was trying to stop from happening was different from the one she currently thinks about. This led to the reason why she no longer knows how she first became aware of being stuck in a time loop and even how she no longer seems to be aware of the number of times she had a loop.

The future she was trying to avoid was one where there would be one of two beings standing there laughing as they had conquered two worlds and were just finishing off their third. What shocked was shocking was that one of the two beings was always either a truly evil version of herself or one of Rimuru Tempest(though at this point neither of them are going by their original names anymore). The two of them were always seemingly the final bosses that fought each other for who would rule over the with only one of them being able to live at the very end. How Chloe dies is never known to her especially when she is the one that wins their final battle.

It was unknown to Chloe however though just how it happened but through fate or just dumb luck during one time loop, the evil Rimuru became aware of the time loop Chloe was stuck in before she had any knowledge of this herself and already realized that it was too late to save them in this loop, he was entrusting Chloe to find out how to do so. Managing to awaken her to be aware that she is looping through time seemingly endlessly for an untold amount of time.

Her attempt to save everyone though failed as she tried repeatedly but that did never seem to work out as things would just change slightly or she would just die early than she was supposed to repeatedly. Though through countless trials and errors she had lost track of herself(mostly because the exact number was being kept from her and things were being done without her knowledge still) she managed to prevent either herself or Rimuru from being the world's final boss through creating another one for them to compete against. There was someone that would always try to attempt to control her and she would just brush them off as they were not able to do so. It was not impossible as they could gain a degree of control over her but why would she allow that as she was trying to save everyone close to her and this did not seem like the way the go.

Until she realized it was as she could not tell where this person was going with their plans or even just what their plans even were to start with. After all, she just kills them for even attempting to use her like that as someone else does so. Once they do it basically game over for that loop as she just blacks out and then wakes up again upon being killed by evil Rimuru or just at her current starting point. So having worked out everything up until this point she set up a checkpoint there and worked so that if things go wrong then she could always find another way.

It worked as things were going along just as she hoped as allowing Yuuki to act as he wanted and not preventing him from imposing through three commands on her was getting her to have things play out the way she wanted. Sure she was still stuck in the time loop but neither she nor Rimuru was the world's final boss anymore instead it was seemingly Yuuki. Though the problem is that he manages to take both or one of them out every time though

Progress was slow but she had finally succeeded in the first steps of her overall plan to save both herself and Rimuru from becoming the world's final boss
