Slime (fantasy Creature)
In fiction, slimes, also called oozes, are amorphous creatures composed of Gel, gelatinous ooze. In literature and film, slimes typically take the role of horrific monsters, while in video games and anime, they are often depicted as cute low-level enemies. History Slimes as monsters in literature originated with the writings of H. P. Lovecraft. In his novella ''At the Mountains of Madness'', Lovecraft described shoggoths, shapeless beings made of black slime. Lovecraft's writings would go on to influence later Gothic fiction and other aspects of popular culture. Slimes have appeared as monsters in tabletop games such as ''Dungeons & Dragons'' since the first printing in 1974, being partially inspired by horror films such as ''The Blob''. Slime creatures in ''Dungeons & Dragons'', such as the gelatinous cube, envelop prey before dissolving them in acidic ooze. The ''Dungeons & Dragons'' campaign setting ''Spelljammer: Adventures in Space'' (2022) introduced plasmoids as a Charac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isekai
is a Japanese genre of speculative fiction—both portal fantasy and science fiction are included. It includes novels, light novels, films, manga, anime and video games that revolve around a person or people who are transported to and have to survive in another world, such as a fantasy world, virtual world, or parallel universe. Isekai is one of the most popular genres of anime, and Isekai stories share many common tropes – for example, a powerful protagonist who is able to beat most people in the other world by fighting. This plot device typically allows the audience to learn about the new world at the same pace as the protagonist over the course of their quest or lifetime. If the main characters are transported to a game-like world, the genre can overlap with LitRPG. The concept of ''isekai'' started in Japanese folk tales, such as Urashima Tarō. However, the first modern ''isekai'' works were Haruka Takachiho's novel ''Warrior from Another World'' and Yoshiyuki Tomi ...
