Holy shit I just realised that dungeon meshi would lend itself really well to a sci-fi setting, too. All the different types of humans look different and have different life spans because theyre adapted to different planets (likely through bioengineering, which im kinda using as a stand-in for magic.) Instead of eating iconic fantasy RPG monsters, it'd be about eating iconic alien lifeforms (The Red Dragon would probably be one of those Giant Sand Worms that are incredibly common in sci-fi) I'm not sure what the stand-in for the dungeon would be. Perhaps humans haven't yet reached travel between solar systems, but every so often wormholes will pop up to places with unexplainably odd physics? I'm not sure what the demon would be though. I mean, in this context, I suppose science itself would represent the limitless potential to fulfill our own desires, but like. I don't wanna have weird anti-science undertones by having science represent the antagonist?!?!? At the same time, I don't want to fall back into magic (not that sci-fi and magic together don't work, but I think it'd be interesting to take full advantage of the science) EDIT: THE LION CAN JUST BE SOMETHING THAT GENERATES LIMITLESS ENERGY. THE LION CAN BE SOMETHING WEIRD LIKE A BLACK HOLE OR SOMETHING LOL. that works Just think of bioengineered chimera Falin <3 Frankenstein's monster kinda gal <3<3<3. Also You can't tell me Laios wouldn't be super excited to explain how stuff like the Alien's Alien and The Thing reproduce 💀 Also put Marcille in a lab coat NOW!!!!
