Ok, I have just done a massive reorganization of the entire fic, to make it clear for everyone. So the first 5 chapters can be considered canon, before branching into a False Route and a True Route, which will be labelled by name to make it clear. (E.g. False Route 1, True Route 1, etc.), and you guys can read each portion of the fic depending on which timeline you guys want to follow. That being said, let's get started with the actual, new and improved, True Route!

As Rimuru returned to the {Imaginary Space}, he looked at the card that was given to him. He had designed his servant form based on a mere clone of his power. In other words, an avatar that he would control. Furthermore, he had followed Zelretch's instructions to the letter. But thinking back, why should he? He had learned long ago that just going with the flow was alright in certain situations, but not when someone that was even remotely similar to Guy was giving the instructions.

"Ciel, help me tinker with the card a bit."

"Very well, Lord Rimuru!"

With Ciel's help, Rimuru quickly began tinkering with his card; he immediately added more resistances, such as {Holy Magic Resistance} and {Command Seal Reflection}, both of which did as described. Rimuru was also in the process of changing his skill {Count on Me} when he realized something.

"Hold on, why do I have to have these limitations when it comes to skills? Sure, it's to have a bit more fun, but honestly the amount of new weaknesses I have is enough. Screw the skill cap! And screw you too Zelretch. I can tell you want more entertainment!"

And so he immediately replaced his {Count on Me} skill with a {Magic Control}, a skill that states that Rimuru can manipulate all forms of magic, such as contracts to summon other servants or just regular magic. In reality, his abilities went way further than just that. His other skills also simply became a cover; should the mages manage to even read his card, they would see those skills. Not his true skills.

In short, Rimuru could transform into any form that he wanted, whenever he wanted. But his master could only access, at most, very little amount of info. And he could disclose what he wanted, when he wanted, through Ascensions, or when his Master earned his trust.

Rimuru looked around, now finished with his edits. Veldora had taken out his manga. One Punch Man.

"Ohhhh God….this is gonna be chaos…" thought Rimuru, wincing.

He then looked at Shizue.

"Hmm, seems like she's eating some of the cookies that Shuna packed for us. Looks like her inner glutton is getting the best of her."

Suddenly feeling a pull, Rimuru let his avatar go through with the summoning process.

"Hey, Shizu! Veldora! It seems like my avatar is going to be heading in before you guys! So just wait here or have fun for a bit!" Rimuru called out to his companions.

"Oi, no fair Rimuru! Why do you get all the fun?!" roared Veldora, indignant.

"Hey, my real body is staying here! If you get bored, I'll just {Parallel Existence} my conscious and have fun with you guys here until you guys get summoned through your avatars!" retorted Rimuru, exasperated with his spoiled younger brother.

"That works just fine, Rimuru. Enjoy your time!" called out Shizue

"See you guys later! I'll summon you Shizu once everything is stabilized!"

And with that, Rimuru let his conscious fall into darkness.

And he continued to fall for a while, which was not a newfound experience. To him, it felt like he was dying all over again. Except that this time he was warm. Comfortable. And Ciel was with him.

"Master, it seems that you will be summoned in one of the Singularities…" Ciel's voice rang out.

Rimuru laughed.

"Well! Guess we might as well find out who summoned me! If I don't like my so-called master, I will kill them if they are evil, or just sever the contract if I they don't deserve death. Plain and simple."

"As straightforwards and carefree as usual, Lord Rimuru! I will be by your side during this whole endeavor!"

Rimuru's body slowly started to materialize, as he landed onto the red, barren dirt. He opened his eyes, and took a few glances around him.

Ruined buildings again. Covered with red and gray soot.

The air smelled of brimstone.

The feeling of hot air.

And fire as far as the eye could see.

Rimuru finally looked at the person in front of him.

A girl that was slightly shorter than his avatar, at the height of 164cm. She had slightly messy albino white hair, formed into a braid on the left side of her face. Pale skin, though not as pale as certain homunculus. Stunned and excited amber eyes. A prideful grin. Wearing a fancy dress over a with collared-shirt, with many noble decorations. Fit for a noblewoman. Not that Rimuru cared.

Rimuru snorted. She reminded him so much like Milim, he couldn't help but snort. And tease her.

"So…" he spoke. "It seems that the one who called me is simply a little brat."

He watched in extreme amusement as his newfound Master's face contorted from a prideful grin to a shocked and stunned look, with her mouth wide agape.

He prodded further, closing his eyes and shaking his head while smirking. The easiest way that he had learnt to piss off red haired Primodial Demons.

"Stop flapping your gums in shock and tell me why you need me, little girl. Just looking around the area makes me sick."

Which was true, he did hate destruction.

The girl in question shut her mouth, and hunched her shoulders. Her hands formed fists, as she gritted her teeth. She then proceeded to start shaking. Violently.

Rimuru then eyed the two behind her. A black haired boy and a pink haired girl, the former with a white collared shirt with black buttons and black pants, and the latter wearing quite a revealing set of armor. They were currently shellshocked, as the both of them slowly backed away from the still shaking white haired girl.

"It seems like you pissed her off, Lord Rimuru."

"That's the point, Ciel. That's the point. The angrier the person, the more information they will spill. Plus, it's funny."

A ear-splitting screech broke Rimuru out of his thoughts.

"YOU UPSTART IGNORANT BASTARD! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?!"

"Oh god…" thought Rimuru. "I didn't realize she had Hinata's and Luminous's temper…"
