**\[Opening Scene: Inside the City of Tempest – Rimuru's Office]**
*(Rimuru is calmly going over the latest reports from the Council of Monsters. Milim is bouncing off the walls in excitement, Veldora is lounging lazily in the corner, and Ramiris is fiddling with a mysterious magical device.)*
**Rimuru (sighing):** "Milim, for the last time, please stop jumping off the walls. You're going to break something."
**Milim (laughing):** "I'm bored! I need something exciting to do, Rimuru\~!"
**Veldora (chuckling):** "Haha! Milim, you've been bored since yesterday! Come on, Rimuru, you've got to find something for us to do."
**Ramiris (fiddling with a strange glowing orb):** "Hey, hey! I found something! It's a World Anchor! It's supposed to link us to other worlds. We could explore them all! Just imagine the possibilities\~!"
**Rimuru (frowning):** "A World Anchor? Isn't that dangerous? We've got enough problems with just managing Tempest."
**Ramiris (grinning mischievously):** "Oh, it's perfectly safe! Besides, it'll be fun! Trust me! Just think of the cool worlds we can visit. Think about it—some might have treasures, others might have... battles!"
**Milim (grinning wildly):** "Worlds full of destruction! I love it already!"
**Veldora (excited):** "That sounds interesting! A new world to conquer, perhaps?"
**Rimuru (hesitant):** "Fine, fine... but no breaking things this time! I'm not cleaning up your messes again, Milim!"
**Milim (snickers):** "No promises!"

**\[Scene Transition: Outside the City – The World Anchor Activates]**
*Ramiris finishes her fiddling and activates the World Anchor. The air shimmers as a portal forms in front of them, a swirling vortex leading to an unknown dimension.*
**Rimuru (eyeing the portal cautiously):** "Okay, here goes nothing…"
**Veldora (grinning):** "Let's see what kind of chaos we can stir up!"
**Ramiris (delighted):** "The adventure begins!"
**Milim (energetic):** "Woohoo! First stop, destruction!"
**Rimuru (rolling his eyes):** "I'm starting to regret this already…"
---
**\[Scene: The New World – A Pixelated Landscape]**
*The portal opens into a strange world that looks like a game—a pixelated landscape full of floating islands, blocky structures, and cartoonish animals. It's a far cry from the vibrant worlds they're used to.*
**Rimuru (confused):** "What in the world…? Is this some sort of video game?"
**Ramiris (examining the surroundings):** "Hmm… this looks like a typical fantasy game world. I'll bet there's some big dungeon or boss monster nearby."
**Milim (laughing):** "This looks so weird! Can we blow it up?"
**Veldora (stretching and yawning):** "Hahaha! This world seems like a perfect playground for me. Let's get to it!"
**Rimuru (serious):** "Hold up, you guys. Something feels off. Let's not destroy the place immediately."
---
**\[Scene: The First Encounter – NPCs and Glitches]**
*As the group explores, they meet a bunch of strange NPCs who react like typical game characters. One NPC stands out: a "Quest Giver" with a pixelated appearance.*
**Quest Giver NPC (blinking in a robotic manner):** "Welcome, adventurers. Will you take on a quest to defeat the Great Dragon of the East?"
**Milim (eyes sparkling):** "Great Dragon?! I love dragons!"
**Rimuru (smiling, looking at the NPC):** "Okay, okay, I think we've got the hang of this. Let's try out the quest. It's just a game after all."
**Ramiris (giggling):** "What's the worst that could happen?"
**Veldora (laughing):** "Worlds like these are usually *incredibly* easy. There's no challenge here. I might just show them what a real dragon is capable of!"
**Rimuru (looking at the NPC's quest window):** "Wait, why is this quest labeled 'Glitched'?"
**Milim (confused):** "Glitched? What does that mean?"
**Rimuru (thinking):** "Hold on. There's something wrong here…"
---
**\[Scene: Entering the Dragon's Lair – Things Go Wrong]**
*The team enters the designated dungeon to face the Great Dragon, only to realize something's off. The "Great Dragon" is a glitchy, floating pixelated monstrosity, with data fragments constantly shifting.*
**Milim (laughing wildly):** "It's a dragon made out of *glitches*! I'll take care of it!"
**Rimuru (concerned):** "Wait, Milim—"
*Before Rimuru can finish, Milim charges in and throws a blast of raw power. The dragon glitches out, but instead of being destroyed, it splits into hundreds of smaller glitchy creatures that begin attacking.*
**Rimuru (panicking):** "I knew it! The glitch must've messed with the entire world's system!"
**Veldora (laughing):** "HAHA! This is great! A true challenge! Let me show you how a true dragon handles glitches!"
**Ramiris (giggling):** "This is why I love it! A chaotic world filled with *chaotic glitches*! Let's get it!"
---
**\[Scene: The Multiversal Chaos Unleashed]**
*The group ends up facing a horde of glitch monsters, with Ramiris managing to control a few to help out. Veldora gets involved in the battle, causing even more chaos as his powers start to break the game's mechanics. Milim gleefully keeps attacking, and Rimuru is left trying to figure out a solution.*
**Rimuru (frustrated):** "I swear, you guys cause more problems than you solve!"
**Milim (cheerful):** "But it's fun! We're making things *exciting*, Rimuru!"
**Rimuru (sighing):** "Okay, okay... I'll fix it! But first, let's just—"
*Suddenly, the entire world starts glitching more violently, and the "game" collapses in on itself.*
**Rimuru (grinning despite himself):** "Alright, that's enough fun for today. Time to reset this world and get us out of here."
---
**\[Final Scene – Back in Tempest]**
*The portal closes, and the group finds themselves back in the familiar city of Tempest, safe and sound—sort of.*
**Rimuru (looking at his companions, exhausted):** "That's it. We're not messing with *game worlds* anymore. Ever."
**Milim (still laughing):** "But it was fun, right? Next time, let's try a world with even bigger explosions!"
**Veldora (grinning):** "Haha! I have to admit, that was enjoyable! Maybe a little more destruction next time?"
**Ramiris (giggling):** "Hehe, next time we'll find something *even* more fun. This is only the beginning, Rimuru!"
**Rimuru (sighing):** "I regret agreeing to this already. What was I thinking?"
