Hanahaki Disease

Summary:

Fifty years after the Great War, Diablo finds himself on the verge of death. This was not caused by a powerful opponent of even a battle at all. It was caused by himself. Or more precisely, his illness. Demons are immune to all diseases and sickness except one. The hanahaki disease. The curse cast by Veldanava himself. And who is this lucky (unlucky?) maiden you ask? Why it's the Great Demon Lord Rimuru himself.

For context, hanahaki disease is a disease that is caused by requited love. It makes the person in love incredibly ill (coughing up flower petals and blood) and mostly results in death. In my version though, the cure is a bit different :).

Notes:

I'm going to say this now, I'm terrible at writing. Seriously, my work is atrocious. I read the web novel of Tensei Slime, and even then, it's poorly translated and hard to read. Therefore, this story is following the WN. If I get anything wrong, please tell me! Also, I'm SUPER open to constructive criticism. If there's anything you think I should change, please tell me! If you don't feel confident typing it in the comments, feel free to email me. I'll also be changing a few things with the hanahaki disease. The only cure is the death of your lover or if your lover loves you back.

Chapter 1: Please Read!

Chapter Text

Alright, so, if you haven't read the notes and summary, I suggest you read that first. This isn't the story, but it gives you some context.

This takes place 50 years after the Great War.

There is now an official Tempest Crest, which every executive and high-ranking worker/ soldier wears. many normal workers wear it too though, to express pride in being a citizen of Tempest. The crest is a blacked-out sakura petal with a silver border. (Please add more to the design if you think you can come up with something better. My creativity is equivalent to a sea cucumber soo...)

Rimuru has already established his place as the strongest being alive.

But yeah, that's all the changes so far. I'll update if there needs to be any more.

ALSO because I am an inexperienced, incompetent fool, if there is a person out there so kind as to review my work and make adjustments, please contact me! I know it's asking a lot, but I really don't want to post a piece of crap online. Thank you so much, I hope you don't faint from this disgraceful fanfic.
