The Fight for the exit

Almost thirty days of loneliness and practice had passed since I swallowed Veldora. What had I been up to? Well, think about it. If you were being attacked by a monster, what would you do? I mean, I was a slime now. It would be hard for me to zip away from a large monster, much less defend myself. So I’d been spending my time thinking about how to fight back.
I had also been consuming any particularly odd-looking herbs or glowing rocks I stumbled across while hopping around this vast and confusing cave. I mostly found herbs like hipokute herb and large glowing stones.
The glowing stones and such around here were what was called “magic ore,” which could supposedly be refined into a metal harder than iron or steel and highly compatible with magic. So as I was chowing down on all these herbs and rocks, an idea came to mind If I could spit out water fast enough to I could shoot out a stream of water to strike foes. Some time later
I went to the underground lake from before. Just as I had imagined,
the pool was very large. There were no creatures around, not even in the water. It was truly a sight to see. But back to business. I started to practice my idea. My idea was wonderful and actually worked there were a couple problems with how It was performed. I ejected too much water at once, propelling far backwards which was not what I intended to do. No game plan whatsoever. This time, I’d keep it at water-pistol level, shooting out just a bit at a time. Just taking a mouthful of water and spitting it all out out.
Here we go. Hmm. Not much water coming out. I most of made too small of an exit hole. I expanded my mouth a bit. Water shot out with a little more energy this time, dousing a nearby that I had been boulder shooting at . A promising sign. After a few more minutes spent adjusting my water levels, I decided to try boost the pressure just a tiny bit more before opening wide. Launch. Then again. Then again, gradually upping the output as I kept my water-gun practice going. It was starting to take form. But a shot of water might sting a bit, I didn’t think it’d deliver a effective attack.
jumped into the water and thought to myself for a while.Floating in the water gave me a chance to use Magic Sense and observe myself floating and sinking in the water. I reminded myself of a jellyfish, kind of.
I thought I could vibrate my body’s surface to create currents or
I gave it a shot, running magical force across my “skin” to control the
particles around me. The vibration ran across my entire body, so I tried to
point it in a single direction—and that was all it took to get me moving.
Nice! I spent a little while whizzing around the water like that, enjoying
the experience. A nice change of pace, to be sure, but I totally wasn’t just
messing around, all right? Let’s keep that straight.
Skill “Current Movement” acquired.
I thought it was the Sage for a moment, but it turned out to be the World
Language instead. That bit of playing around just earned me a new skill.
Break time was over, and it had certainly borne fruit for me. As I was relaxing, I had come up with a few new ideas I tried a few
and thankfully, just as I’d hoped, it worked. A small jet of water, ejected sharply out of my body, slapped itself against the boulder and it actually broke the rock slightly where it had hit it. I kept practicing until I got better and better at doing the attack. I gave it a whirl. And it worked! The shot of water went threw the air contacting the rock then slashed its way right through the rock.

Skill “Water Blade” acquired.
Skills “Water Pressure Propulsion,” “Current Movement,” and
“Water Blade” acquired. Combining and upgrading to extra skill
“Control Water.”

Whoa! It really did work. Extra skills were supposed to offer a completely
different level of force than regular ones. Now I had a way of defending
myself. Now it was just about time to head off and find the exit to the cave.

One hundred and twenty days had passed since I got reincarnated in this cavern. It was time to get started, I traveled down the lone path upward threw this large cavern that I had grown so accustomed to. I hardly knew what to expect, but I knew I to see the outside world. The path from the underground lake to the surface was a single long cavern path. The path was filled with darkness but harnessing Magic Sense made it look as bright as a sunny day to me. I went along the path then I found that the path was blocked by a large gate which was first man-made object I had seen in this cave ever.So how to get it open? Water Blade my way through the bars of the gate? I prepared for the first shot but the door opened by itself. I scurried over to one side of the path and watched.

“Whew! Finally got this thing open. The whole lockin’ mechanism
must’ve rusted out…,” someone said.
“Yeah, I’ll bet. Nobody’s even tried going in for three hundred years or
whatever, right?” replied a second voice.
“There is no record of anyone attempting an entry. Are you sure we’re
safe? We are not leaving ourselves open to sudden attack…?” commented a
third.
“Gah-hah-hah-hah!” laughed the second one. “Come on. Maybe this guy
was invincible a few centuries back, but it’s just a big overgrown lizard,
y’know? I told you guys ’bout how I bagged a basilisk solo once, didn’t I?
It’ll be fine!”, “I was wondering about that, actually,” the third replied. “Are you sure that’s the truth, Kabal? A basilisk is a B-plus-ranked monster. You truly handled that by yourself?”
“Quit playing dumb! I’m B ranked, y’know! Some huge reptile ain’t
gonna faze me!”
“All right, all right. Just keep your guard up, if you could. And remember,
we can always use my Escape skill if things turn sour…”
“Can we save the friendly chitchat for later?” the first interjected. “I need some quiet. It’s just about time for me to activate Concealing Arts!”

The large group walked by and I skipped threw the door and stopped on the other side. I didn’t know what they wanted, but if I had to guess, they were Treasure hunters or maybe even treasure hunters. Before any of them could come back to check on things, I was gone. I went far down the path and I arrived at an intersection with multiple paths paths branching out from it. Which one would bring me to the surface was the real question. I traveled down one of the paths and arrived at a room. Our eyes met.
Slowly, I averted mine. There was a gigantic serpent in front of me.
My mind went blank. I might be fine if it didn’t notice me. Slowly, I
tried to slide myself back. No luck. It looked straight at me It flicked its tongue. Should I fight it? I had this cool move that I’d spent the last week
training for, so why wouldn’t I fight it. Well, no point holding back. I
I aimed at the snakes neck with a Water Blade and shoot it out, cutting the snake in half. A snake so huge, so ominous looking, I was sure I’d be nothing but a snack to it. This skill might be way stronger than I thought.
Are there any abilities I can steal by analyzing it? I got good abilities that weren’t half bad. In addition to the ability to disguise myself as
a black snake, I gained the following two skills:


Sense Heat Source: Intrinsic skill. Identifies any heat reactions in the
local area. Not affected by any concealing effects.


Poisonous Breath: Intrinsic skill. A powerful breath-type poison
(corrosion) attack. Affects an area seven meters in
front of the user in a 120-degree radius.

Three days had passed after my snake battle. I was still in the cave.
I think I might be lost. No. I couldn’t be. What kind of idiot gets themself lost in the very first cave? I’d be fine. It was probably just a really long path. Not knowing the exact way did make me a little nervous, though. Was there any way to get some help with that?

Received: Display the paths you’ve currently taken in your brain?
Yes
No

Are you kidding me?! why didn’t you tell me sooner?!
Of course I immediately picked “Yes.”
Am I reading this right? It looks like I’ve been circling through the same
area over and over again… Following the map in my brain, I delved into a branch of the cave I’d never bothered trying before. There, I was greeted by a sight that had wholly eluded me for the past three days.
Guess I’m lost after all. I must have been getting close to the entrance to the great outdoors. Moss and weeds were starting to appear on the walls and ground. And I didn’t know where the sun was, but the light, dim as it was, was starting to make its way inside. Which meant it was daytime. On the way to the cave entrance I fought four more monsters that died in just one water slash each


A centipede monster
A big spider
A vampire bat
A big shelled lizard

I managed to acquire lot of skills:


Black snake: Poisonous Breath, Sense Heat Source
Centipede: Paralyzing Breath
Big spider: Sticky Thread, Steel Thread
Vampire bat: Drain, Ultrasonic Wave
Shelled lizard: Body Armor

It turned out the cave, was in a forest. The exit was just a hole at the bottom of a mountain, it was more of a small hill, which stood out against the vast
trees that surrounded it. Thanks to the dense foliage, this hill was the only point you could see the sun from. I took my first step or hop into the forest, and the darkness went over me again. I stood in the path and looked back to the cave entrance I thought about everything that had happened in that cave and everything I learned, I turned back to the road and thought of the adventures to come.

I’m going to free him

I started to hop away then I remembered what I was going to do. Hey, so I have something I want to ask before I leave, but…can’t you do anything about that seal on you? “Not with my powers, no. Someone with a unique skill on the same level as the hero’s would be necessary for there to be even a chance.” So you don’t have any abilities to free you, Veldora?
“I do, but now that I am sealed off, I can access none of them. Telepathy is about all I can manage at the moment. The hero’s Unlimited Imprisonment could hold its target captive in an infinite number of imaginary spaces for all of time. It wasn’t some weak barrier that would allow casual interference with the real world.” It isn’t the sort of thing that would break down over time but given that he could have any contact with the real world, and even exchange messages, perhaps it said more about Veldora. Here, lemme try something… I rolled over to Veldora and tapped my body against him. “Invoking unique skill Predator to consume unique skill Unlimited Imprisonment… skill Failed.  Received. Partial Analysis of unique skill Unlimited Imprisonment complete. Reporting a potential escape route Any escape involving a physical body is not possible. The chance of destroying the prison by physically damaging it is zero. Cannot analyze an escape route involving the annulment of imaginary space.”

So one would need to be caught within the same Unlimited Imprisonment situation in order to analyze it from the inside. “This is currently impossible. The chance of escaping in spiritual form is one percent. If a spiritual receptacle is prepared for the target on the outside to aid in the transition, the success rate is three percent. This process is equivalent to transmigration. If the target is poorly compatible with the receptacle, he will lose all memories and abilities.”

“This concludes the report on potential escape routes.”

What if I used Predator to consume Veldora himself? I could either analyze him inside my stomach, or isolate him andannul the effect of Unlimited Imprisonment, and he’d be out. Would that work? “Received: It is possible to store the target Veldora in your stomach via the unique skill Predator.”

Really…? In that case, if I could convince him of it, we could get going. If
I couldn’t, he’d have another century of isolation before he was reduced to
nonexistence. So I spent a few moments explaining the Predator skill to
Veldora, and what I wanted to do with it. It’d be impossible from the get-go
without the Sage’s help, but…
“Mwah-hah-hah-hah-hah! Fascinating! Please, go ahead. I leave myself at
your mercy!”
You’re that ready to believe me?
“But of course! It’d be far more fun to break through this prison with you
than sit around and await your return! With the two of us together, this
Unlimited Imprisonment could fall quicker than we thought!”
Now I got it. He was one, but now we were two. I liked his outlook.
So the plan was I’d use Great Sage and Predator to analyze this beast, and
Veldora would try to destroy it from the inside. No worries about Veldora
dissipating away in my stomach. I was starting to think this could actually work.
All right. So I’m gonna consume you, all right? Hurry up and get outta
there.
“You shall make me wait no longer! Let us finally join together!”
Right! I touched him for a moment then activated my Predation skill. In a moment, Veldora’s massive form disappeared from sight. It happened almost too fast. We were talking just a moment ago. Seeing him gone suddenly made me feel very small and very solitary. Using the skill
on my first target created too much resistance to work at all, but with the help of a fully cooperative Veldora in and large he is, it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. He and Unlimited Imprisonment itself were sucked in me at once. Kind of a surprise it all fit in me, though. Checking my stomach usage. Wow a whooping , 25 percent? How big was that thing, anyway? suddenly sage started talking again


Conduct Analysis of unique skill Unlimited Imprisonment?
Yes
No

This better work, I prayed as I thought of everything that could possibly go wrong


He gave me my sight back

It seemed to be about two days later when I went back to him

”one moment little one. The last time we talked you said that you couldn’t see
Oh, uh, yeah. And? It was a pain in the butt, yes, but as long as I took my
time and kept from getting myself killed. Let me help you see, then.
Um, what? Damn. This guy… I mean, this Storm Dragon… He
was acting way too nice to me, I don’t know if I should really trust him?
Uh, really you can do that”
Indeed. On one condition, however. What do you say?
I didn’t like the sound of that, but…ah, who cares right?
What kind of condition? “A simple one. When I grant you the ability of sight, I beg of you not to fear
me and that, and you would come visit and speak to me again. That is all. I trust. Are my terms are agreeable to you?
That’s all? I feel remorse for this lonely dragon. I guess that why he couldn’t stop talking to me. I must’ve been the first person he has talked to in ages.
He might’ve been feeding me a line this whole time, even, saying he was a
dragon. Maybe the dragons in this world weren’t even all that powerful in the first place. although this is a pretty good deal.
Is that really all you need? “Yes. To be honest with you, I was sealed away in here three hundred years ago. Ever since then, I have had so much free time on my hands, I was practically going insane. What do you think?” Well, if that’s all you need, you got yourself a deal!
“Good. It is a promise, then…and I trust you will hold up your end of the
bargain.” Of course! Maybe I don’t look it, but you can count on me, man! Just ask
anybody on Earth! They’ll vouch for me!
Hopefully he wouldn’t try to. That would be bad.
“Very well. There is a skill known as ‘Magic Sense’. Can you use it?
No, I can’t. What kind of skill is that?
“It allows you to perceive the particles of magic floating around you. It is
not a very powerful skill, and all it offers is a visual reference, so it is not
difficult to acquire.”
Oh… Sounds easy enough.
“Indeed. I can wield it as easily as I can breathe. I hardly even bother to
think about it.”
So once I learn that, I’ll be able to see again?
“Precisely, this entire world is covered in pure magic, although it doesn’t spread evenly across its entire surface. “Ok now try to disturb the nearby particles of magic, then use that information to calculate how the area around you looks and sounds. Is it not very simple Surly I had it wrong Im focusing as hard as I can and I still can’t see. This world is very confusing so I probably have to do something else
Not really? I, um, I’m not really sure
“Mmm… Very well. Allow me to help you acquire this skill, then. This is
the only method I am aware of.” W-wait what, can you do that? I’m kind of a new here…
“Worry not. You do have your memories from your past life, yes? And
there, you gained knowledge about the nature of light and sound. Without
that, not even I could help you, I wager. Luck is on your side, truly.”
True. I supposed it would be hard to explain sight to someone who can’t
see at all. Maybe I could use my knowledge of Earth to harness this “Magic
Sense” thing to figure out what this magical world around me was like.
I guessed it was Worth a shot. Plus, I had the Sage on my side. It could work this out. It is quite simple. First, try moving all of the magic around you with the force in your body. I tried to imagine the strength circulating through my body. I could feel something moving within. I hadn’t been conscious of it in the water, but it looked as though I could adjust the force by how much I tensed up. Before I hadn’t been controlling the water so much as I was controlling the magics movement around in it. I was exercising my ‘magical muscles’, and the particles around me were reacting to my strength. That came to me quite quickly “little one you are more gifted than he thought. All it takes is feeling the movements of the particles outside of you.”
I gave it a shot, doing as I was told, I started feeling out the particles surrounding me. And I found I could sense them hanging in the air, moving around in all sorts of currents.
I don’t know whats happening but I should ask the Sage about this.
“Confirmed. Extra skill “Magic Sense”…successfully acquired. Use
the extra skill Magic Sense?”
Yes
No
Well, sure yes.
The moment I started Magic Sense, my brain was filled with new
information. It was so much that my human brain never could’ve
processed it. my human old eyesight didn’t even give me a 180- degree view of what’s in front of me, but now, all of a sudden, I could ‘see’ a
full 360 degrees around myself If I were still human, all this perception data probably would’ve fried my brain circuits. But now I was a slime. My cells could provide muscle just as easily as brain power.
So somehow or other, I withstood the torrent of information. “Synchronizing extra skill Magic Sense with unique skill Great
Sage… Successful. All information will now be managed by Great
Sage.” Suddenly, my vision opened up. Having this Sage at my side was almost cheating. I could see so much around me, I could see hundreds of meters off into the distance all around me. It wouldn’t be going too far to put it that way.
Thank you very much! I then took my attention
to the creature in front of me.
He really was a dragon!! He was covered in scales that shone a
dark shade of black, tougher looking than steel itself but supple and flexible.
Gahh! You’re a dragon!!
He was towering far higher than I anticipated. My internal scream welled up, pouring out of me, and I don’t think I could really be blamed for it.

“you remember your promise?Don’t you”
Oh, of course! I was just joking a little, is all. I can see just fine, and plus
I can hear now, too. I really appreciate this!
“So what do you intend to do next?
Well, for starters, I figure I might as well look for some otherworlders
from my home country. With my brand-new eyesight, seeing this brand new world would be amazing. Now, finally, I could say good-bye to my days of literally chewing the weeds in my tiny cave. All right! Well, um… What do you think? Friends, then?
“what? A mere slime, daring to seek the friendship of the mighty beast
as Veldora the Storm Dragon?!” Oh, um, you don’t have to if you don’t want, but…
“You fool! Who said anything about not wishing it?!”
Oh, ok.
“I guess I could consider it”
I could feel him sneaking little glances at me. Every time he glanced at me I felt more and more terrified by his presence It’s settled we are going to be friends or else I won’t keep my promise.
“ok, ok I shall except you as a friend.” Well, to future times, then!
“Indeed! To future times! …Ah, yes, allow me to give you a name. In
exchange, you will give one to us both.”
Huh? Where’d that come from?
“It shall chisel into our souls the fact that we are of the same rank.
Something similar to the family names the humans use—except my name, for you, will also provide a kind of divine blessing. You are still nameless now, but through this, you will become a full-fledged named monster.”
Mmmm. I like the way this sounds. So he wants me to come up with a common name for us to share? And in exchange, I’d get my own name and all the benefits of named-monster status? I better think up something good.
Well, you said you were a storm dragon, so… I dunno, “Tempest” or
something? It sounded cool to me, so sorry if it-
“Perfect! So be it! A wonderful timbre to that title, yes.”
He liked it?! I’m quite impressed with myself.
“From this day forward, they will call me Veldora Tempest! And you… You
will be called Rimuru. Proclaim to the world that your name is Rimuru
Tempest!”
Now the name was carved into my soul, somewhere, deep inside my soul, something did change a bit but I couldn’t tell what It seems about time for me to get going I suppose.

A new friend pt 2

Either way, this was my first contact with another intelligent being. The first conversation in my new, oozy life. I wanted to keep it a friendly one.” You had aroused my curiosity, slime, by the way you so eagerly slammed into my body. The regenerative powers you just showed astonish me. Are you a named monster, perhaps, or a unique?”“A what? And a what? Say again? I’m sorry, I don’t get what you mean. I’ve only been alive here for ninety days…” Hmm. I suppose, with your sentience, you were never destined to be merely a slime. Named monsters are those who have been assigned an exclusive name. But only ninety days? Ridiculous. Are you a unique, then? “Unique” meaning…? A unique monster is an individual who has suddenly attained unusual abilities, akin to mutation. They are occasionally born in areas with high magical concentrations… Perhaps you were born from the mass of magicules that leaked out from me, then? Hmm. No monster has ever come close to approaching my domain in the past three hundred years. If you were born from my magical force, then perhaps, indeed, that gave you the power to touch me and live to tell the tale! Oh… So you’re kind of, like, my dad, then? No, not your parent by blood. I have no reproductive ability to speak of. Some monsters do, and some do not, you see. Really? ’Cause I thought that kind of came with the package by default. But if I just spontaneously burst out from magic or whatever, maybe you don’t need it, huh?…Your intellectual abilities surprise me. Very few, indeed, are the monsters that possess anything of the sort. Among all the monsters, only magic-born have sentience in the way you or I would understand it. The commentary went on for a while. But the most important thing to learn from it was that apparently humans existed in this world, too. Then there were nonhumans, species very close to mankind in nature and similarly gifted with reproductive abilities. These included races like elves, hobbits, dwarves, and other fairy types, and generally they were allied with the humans. Alongside that, you had races like goblins, orcs, lizardmen, and so on, which were hostile toward mankind and treated like monsters as a result. This animosity wasn’t inherent to their biology, however, so crossbreeding was entirely possible. Next were the “magic-born people”—the catchall term for those who came into being from magic itself, monsters who experienced sudden mutation, and sentient beings evolved from animals or magical beasts. The had both intelligence and reproductive ability, but only within their own subspecies. In their upper social castes existed titans, vampires, devils, and other longer-lived species—all equally capable of having offspring, although they rarely did so, since their overwhelming magic force caused them to be nigh immortal, obviating the need to leave descendants.                           These diverse intelligent, reproducing species were hostile to mankind and collectively referred to as the “magic-born race.” And reading between the lines, the impression I got was that the magic-born weren’t so much overtly hostile toward humans as the humans feared and coveted their powers. It remained true, though, that both sides were fighting for their own living spaces. These sundry monsters had been classified by levels of danger. The upper ranks of the magic-born were packed with some pretty powerful buggers—all capable of leveling a human town solo if they felt like it. Not the kinds of guys you’d want to hang around. So my new companion kept going for a while—about how he’d fought against the upper-level magic-born in the past and so on. Finally, the subject turned back to me. As I told you, then, I lack the ability to produce offspring. The reason is simple… Because I do not need to. I am of the dragon race—one of only four in the world, both unique and the most perfect of my kind. You will hereby know me as Veldora, the Storm Dragon! My life span is infinite, my flesh unfathomable! As long as my will remains intact, I shall be ever alive! Ahhhhh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!

A new friend pt 1

I found my way across the water to a new location. I went jumping along then a new voice had said something “Little one? It’s probably not anyone besides me, is it?”
It didn’t sound like a voice exactly, but something I could recognize more directly to be in my mind. I didn’t have any ears to listen with anyway so that must be it. “Hello! You can hear me, can you not? Respond to me!”
 I didn’t know was I supposed to reply without a mouth? At the start I tried to make a mouth and talk but it didn’t work, but as an experiment, I tried thinking “Shut up, baldy!” in my mind. I waited for a unlikely response
“…Oh-ho! You dare to call me bald, do you…? Rather a lot of nerve
packed into such a little body, no? I had hoped to give my first guest in quite
a while a little kindness, but it would seem you are in rather a hurry to die!”

Uh-oh. Geez, I didn’t really expect that to work. Since I couldn’t see I had no idea who I was dealing with so I didn’t know if I should apologize or not. Well, that was it. My loss. Time for an apology. “I’m sorry! I didn’t know how to reply to you, so I just tried saying the first thing that came to mind! I’m really sorry about that! I can’t see anything right now, so I have no idea what you even look like!” but I wonder if I come across?” Kind of rude to call this guy bald when I couldn’t even see him, I supposed. If he was, I’d probably just pushed some very delicate buttons. “Heh-heh-heh… Eh-ha-ha. Ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!”  The laugh echoed through out the cave “So were we cool now, or—?” for a brief moment it was silent “How fascinating. I had assumed you reacted as such upon seeing me, but you cannot? Most slimes are low-level monsters, incapable of conscious thought as they run through the cycle of absorption, division, and regeneration. It is the rare one, indeed, that ever leaves its habitat.” What was he talking about? This confused me, was I supposed to be like this or am I special?

My skills

I started jumping along cave eating all the grass I could find. I had my form had not changed even though I had eaten so much, I wondered to myself where is it all going? The voice came back again,”it is being stored in the stomach of unique skill predator”. strange it spoke again I asked the voice again what does predator do

Predation: Takes the target into your body. Lesser chance of success if the target has its own consciousness. Can be targeted on organic and inorganic objects, as well as skills and magic.                                                                            Analysis: Analyzes and researches targets taken into your body. Lets you create craftable items. If the required materials are present, allows you to make a copy of the item. Successful Analysis of the casting method allows you to learn the target’s skills and magic.                        Stomach: Stores the Predated target. Can also store materials created via Analysis. Items stored in your stomach are unaffected by time.                      Mimicry: Reproduces the form and skills of absorbed targets. Only available once the target has been Analyzed.                                                          Isolate: Stores harmful effects incapable of being analyzed, neutralizing them and breaking them down into magical force

I was actually surprised that sounded like an insane ability  especially since I’m a slime. I asked the voice who and what it is it replied “this is the result of the ability great sage you can get word relayed into your head that can answer your questions, mostly in this world the only time other things can hear this voice is when a event like leveling up or gaining a new skill. It took around 90 days for great sage to activate, this had to do with it having to bond completely to your soul.”

The great sage has these abilities

Hasten Thought:  Boosts perception speed by a thousand times.                      Analyze and Assess: Analyzes and assesses the target.                                      Parallel Operation: Operates on any matter you wish to analyze,separating it from the regular thought process.                                    Cast Cancel: Annuls the casting period required when using magic,et cetera.              All of Creation: Provides full coverage of all unsuppressed matter and phenomena in this world.

I started testing my powers and it turned out I could make healing potions with the herbs I had been eating. It had been about one day later when I  fell into a pond filled with water I thought it was the end, but nothing happened. But I didn’t drown, I would guess that’s because slimes don’t need oxygen? To get out I sucked up all the water and gained the skill water pressure populsion. I used the skill and shot a water blade and it broke a huge column of stone in the center of the cave. I’m finally learning something about my new powers.

what am I

I couldn’t feel my limbs or move my head I felt grass and leaves I tried to move again then I felt my body slide across the ground I moved and realized that my body felt jelly like wiggling. The idea of me becoming a slime was more apparent but I still couldn’t believe. I was sliding across the grass and decided to test if I could still eat, suddenly the voice came back,” use skill predator yes or no”  I replied what unique skill “predator”? I’m going to say no for now. I went back to trying to eat the grass then I felt it dissolving around me, at first I thought my body was dissolving but it was the grass. So instead of having a mouth I absorbed objects into me and still couldn’t taste them. There were a few conclusions but wasn’t it obvious I died and came back as something inhuman, it was apparent that I had became a slime. 

prologue

I was just a typical guy with a typical life. A 37 year old man with no significant other, I was walking with my co worker and his soon to be wife and that’s when it happened, I heard lots of yelling and a man saying “get out of my way” I felt a sudden pain in my back and then I collapsed I asked my co worker a few favors then everything got blurry, it was hot and painful I complained to myself  then I heard a faint voice,”skill Heat resistance obtained… painless body being formed” I ignored it It got colder and then I reflected on my loveless life I would have been a great sage if I had remained that way for much longer. suddenly the faint voice came back “skill Cold resistance obtained… skill great sage obtained” the mocking voice faded again and so did I. I seemed to wake up but I could not see nor could I feel my arms, legs or head.
