Vol 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)
Where’s this? Say, what exactly is going on here?
The last thing I ree…
And nooke up
My naood man of 37 years old
In order to save a Kohai froot stabbed from behind
Great, I still remember it No problem, there’s no need to panic
Besides, I’ person The only time I’ve panicked hen I pooped my pants in elementary school
Looking around, I finally discovered, I couldn’t open my eyes
This is pretty headache inducing I tried to rub et any response from my hand either Before this, where exactly is my head?
Oi oi, give me a minute
Give ood time to count prime numbers?
One, two, three, ah —— !!
Wait no, not like this! Actually, one is not even a priht?
No no, this kind of thing doesn’t matter
Right now’s not the tis,other than reassuring, right?
Eh? W-what exactly is going on here?
Don’t tell me…… I’ve already sank into a state of confusion and now I’ time?
I hurriedly confir
Nothing hurts at all, it’s better to say that it’s actually pretty comfortable
Not even hot or cold, this is really a refreshi+ng space
This made me loosen up a little
And now to confirer tips, neither my hands or feet had any responses at all
What exactly is going on?
I was clearly only stabbed once, it shouldn’t have chopped away ht?
Also, I can’t even open my eyes
I can’t see anything, this is pitch-black darkness
In my heart, an anxiety that I’ve never felt before flooded out
Is this… the legendary unconscious state?
Or is that, although I have my consciousness, my nerves are all broken and I can’t move?
Oi oi oi, give me a break!
I have to carefully think about it
A huo mad shortly after if confined into a closed space It could be said that the current me is in that state Also, I can’t die even if I wanted to
Waiting to go mad just like this, how could that be possible!
At this tih my body
Eh? What’s this…?
I concentrate my entire consciousness on that sensation
Abdomen? An area that feels like the abdomen was touched by some kind of plant
Everything I gathered hly understand the area of that spot Occasionally, I could feel a slightly prickling sensation fro that seems to be a leaf-like plant
I feel a bit happier now
Even though I’m still inside the pitch-black darkness But at least the sense of touch fro
I enthusiastically tried to rass ——
As if crawling, my body indeed moved
I actually… moved!?
Now I’ve finally understood that I’m not on the hospital bed Why, you say? Because the solid feeling of so like rocks came from under my abdomen
So that’s what it is… Even though I don’t really understand it, in short, I’m not in the hospital
Not only that, neither my eyes or ears worked
Although I don’t knohere my head is, I still tried to rass My consciousness was completely concentrated onto the part that touched
I couldn’t s at all I’m afraid that, it seems like my sense of smell has also failed?
Speaking of which, what kind of shape aht now?
Although I don’t want to admit, but from this streamlined contour and elasticity, I could only think of [that]
A possibility flashed across my head
No no…… how is that possible No matter how you say it, it shouldn’t be…
All in all, let’s put the anxiety aside
I, started to try the last function, of a human’s five senses
However, since I don’t even knohere my mouth is at, how exactly am I supposed to try it?
[Activate Unique skill [Predator]? (YES/NO)]
Suddenly, a voice came from my brain
Ha? What did you say? It’s actually Unique skill [Predator]……!?
Speaking of which, what exactly is this voice?
It seems like that I had heard this voice when I passed on my last will to Tamura, was it not a hallucination?
Is someone there? No, it seems a little different Rather than to say someone’s here…… It’s more like the words floated out from my consciousness
There is no sense of being huenerated voice
Anyways, I chose NO!
No response Although I tried and waited for a long time, no more sound came out
It looks like it wouldn’t ask a second ti option? Is this the type of gaet stuck if you didn’t choose the YES option?
I thought it’d be like a RPG, and if you don’t choose YES it would keep on asking See
It clearly was the one that asked first, and then ignored me after What a impolite fellow
After finally hearing a voice, I was actually a little happy about it
I iret
Well, there is no other choice Anyways, I’ll try to test out the sense of taste
I concentrated rass, and moved my body
After confirrass, I pressed my whole body onto it This tactile irass
As I was feeling the tactile irass that was in contact with htand was really startled, but it seerass had melted
And rass
It seems, s had replaced the function of theat all
That being said, it’s just like that
It see a human, there’s almost no mistakes about it
Then that h, I was stabbed to death back then?
Rather than asking, I’m already almost convinced Then, the fact that I’reeeds can be accepted
What happened with Tamura in the end?
What about Sawatari?
My coht?
I’ht now It’s better to think about what to do from now on
However, the way I look right now ——
And that feeling a o…
I directed ain
Puni, Puni
A body that moved with a rhythm
In this total darkness, I spent a little ti the whole structure of my body
How could this be possible!?
I was clearly that kind of dashi+ng and handsome man before, but now I’ve turned into a streamlined and bouncy slime!!
What kind of joke was this! Who would even agree to this kind of thing!!
But this body’s contour, no !!
No no, but, hm
I don’t really dislike it either? U really is kind of cute
Ah but, if one were to be asked if they want to turn into so like that? I’d say over 90 percent of people would probably choose no
Well, I’ll have to accept it I guess…
It seems, my [Soul] after I had died, turned into a monster in another world
This originally should be impossible Even if it’s possible the chances should only be near astronomical
In conclusion, I reincarnated into a slime
Mugu u
Right now, I’rass
Why, you ask…… do I even need to answer!
Because I am extremely bored!
After accepting that I’ve been turned into a slime, many days have passed I don’t really know the exact amount of time… Since there’s no concept of time at all in this pitch-black darkness
During this period of time, I discovered that the body of a sliry, nor beco and sleeping at all
I’ve also ascertained another thing
Although I don’t knohere this is, but there sees And thanks to that, there is coer…… Just that it’s kind of hard to stand doing nothing every single day
After that tiain If it’s now, it’d be fine to chat with you a little, ya know
Anyways, I helplessly started to eat grass
It’s not like I’ve got anything else to do, this is only a way to pass time
Right now, the grass I’ve absorbed is disintegrating in my body I can feel the co dismantled
To ask whatat all
If I didn’t do anything, I feel like I would really go mad I’m just afraid of that, that’s all
Absorb, Dise Recently, I had become totally proficient in these set of actions
There is so very incredible here
Up until now, I see behavior
After all, I’h possibility that this is unnecessary But, where did the stuff that was stored go?
Just based on feelings, I felt no change of my contour
What exactly is going on here?
[Answer The items are stored inside the Unique Skill [Predator]’s stoe of the space does not exceed 1 percent]
What? It actually answered —— !
But, how exactly did I use the skill? I should have answered NO! earlier that time
[Answer Did not use the Unique skill [Predator] Fros, absorbed materials will autoed at will]
What? The answer this ti that aside for now……
Then, ould happen if I used the skill?
[Answer Unique Skill [Predator]’s main effects are ——–
analyze: analyze and exaet Can create items that can be produced Under the conditions with sufficient materials, replication is possible After successfully analyzing skills or ic
Stoets that have been predated Also, it can conserve objects made from analyze The objects stored inside the Stoo into a state of stasis
Miets that have been absorbed, can use the saet However, it’s only limited to objects that have been successfully analyzed
Isolate: Storage of i through the nullification process, restores ic power
—– The five abilities above]
Eh……Eh?
A nostalgic feeling of being surprised It feels like, this skill is kind of cheating…… This isn’t an ability that a ht?
Wait a minute, before that, who’s voice was it that answered me?
[Answer Unique Skill [Great Sage]’s effect Since the ability had finished ce, the speed of response has increased]
Great Sage huh…… I thought it was onlyme I didn’t think that it’d be this reliable Take care of me from now on
Speaking of which, it’s not the time to be stubborn anymore…
If I could heal this endless loneliness, it’d be fine even if this [voice] was only a hallucination
I have finally experienced the feeling of true relaxation after such a long time
Right now, it’s already been ninety days since I’ve reincarnated into a slime
To be precise, it has been ninety days seven hours thirty-four minutes and fifty-two seconds
How could I be so sure you ask? Thanks to the Unique Skill [Great Sage]’s support effect, of course
Aya~ this skill really is convenient, anytie My questions, she’s able to answer them all
According to [Great Sage], for the skill and my soul to sync up it would require ninety days However, [Great Sage] originally didn’t have the response function It seems like, in order to answer my questions she altered herself, and added the function of [World’s Discourse]
Basically, this convenient ability of asking and answering didn’t exist before When the world changed, or if a skill was acquired or evolved, only then would [World’s Discourse] speak up
However, acquiring and evolving skills was very rare in normal circumstances; it is a rare circurowth becanized by the world As for [Evolve], it is really so that wasn’t fated for common people
Although I completely don’t understand it, in short it seemed to be like this
Although [Great Sage] can answer questions, it is still lio
If I don’t speak up here, I don’t get an answer froretful thing about it
However, to be able to cole sided, is still so to feel happy for
So a conversation with my own skill, I would definitely be considered a delusional disorder patient in the original world
All in all, inside this pitch-black darkness, theto do started to ask questions non-stop
And as a result, I learned that the current me was unquestionably, a slime
The reason why I didn’t need to eat nor sleep was also ascertained
For the slimes in this world, they don’t need to eat if they can absorb ic essence density, they must hunt soic power
Therefore, sliressive But on the other hand, the ic essence density is higher
Which ic essence concentration is dense enough for me to not need to eat
As for sleeping ——
[Answer Slile type of cell Every single cell is a brain cell, and at the same time it is also a nerve cell and muscle cell Therefore, it only need the active cells to take turns in resting, and there is no need for the action of sleeping]
Just like that
Then, where is my memory stored?
I think it could be sile cell is responsible for memories, which creates a disk array?
At this time, I received an [It’s probably like that] answer
[Great Sage] can actually just answer along!?
In addition, [Great Sage] has five effects that really stands out
Thought Acceleration: Perception and sensing speed is raised by a thousand-fold
analytical Identification: analyze and identify targets
Parallel Calculation: Isolate the target that need to be analyzed froht, and calculate it separately
Disregard Chanting: When using ic, there is no need to chant
All-knowing: Knows everything in this world that’s not hidden
Actually, all-knowing!? Well, I had originally thought it’s that kind of cheat-like skill where I could obtain all the knowledge without even trying
But in reality, it only shows the inforets that I have been exposed to
Which , and then I’ll be able to understand it
Also, about Disregard Chanting This ic, I wouldn’t need to read those powerful sounding confusing chants?
The answer that I received was YES
After knowing this, I really can’t wait to try out soic
I tried to confiric that I could currently use
But at this time, I suddenly had a flash of brilliance If the [Predator]’s analyze could have the property of the [Great Sage]’s Parallel Calculation, how good would that be
[Answer [Predator]’s analyze can be chained together with [Great Sage]’s Parallel Calculation, need to enable it? YES/NO]
Of course it’s a YES! Speaking of which there isn’t anything on hand to experiment with…… Wait a minute!
Don’t those stored grass in the Stoht now?
It’s not like I’ve got anything else to do, let’s try it immediately
[analysis Complete ——
Hipokute Grass: Raw ic essence density regions Mixing the grass’s juice withthe leaves into pieces and ic essence can create recovery ointments]
What! The weeds I ate just to pass time actually……
This really is an unexpected harvest
Ients Although I say that, it’s actually entirely an automatic process indidn’t even take a second, andalso took less than three seconds for one After five minutes, there was already over a hundred
While I couldn’t tell just by looking at theh Quality]
Speaking of which, no , they all felt too fast Reportedly it would take quite soether with Parallel Calculating was the right move
I tried to create another one after unlinking the skill, and it took an entire fifty minutes
Isn’t the acceleration effect too fast
It looks like I’ve acquired two outstandingly coh I wasn’t really aware of it myself yet……
Although there were sorass
For precaution, wherever I went, I would s all the grass around
At the same time, recovery medicine were continuously made in my stomach
The current me, completely became careless
Because I had a cheat like ability, and a partner ould answer ot entirely carried away
In these ninety days, there weren’t the slightest hint of anisers was one of the reasons too
Anyways, I was careless
Eh? The instant as I was thinking about this
My body suddenly felt heavy and suddenly felt light… It fell into a very unstable state
Don’t tell me…… I fell into water?
During these ninety days, my body has never touched any water Which means, this place is probably the interior of a rainproof cave or rooht about this possibility
I could feelSince there are no way for rivers or lakes to exist inside a rooround lake inside a cave……
Until just now, I had carefully s
But after hearing the skill’s explanations, I got carried away and started to use [Predator] to uproot all the grass in the surrounding area, co below
As for et carried away I’d fail
It was the same when I attended the debate, [Leave it tocarried away, and was always azes of the Kouhais during those times
Besides, while obviously not being able to see anything, I actually dared to scurry around I really want to scold et out of this alive, just reflecting should be enough, right?
But it’ll probably just end with regretting, and then I’ll ain
That said, why am I still so at ease?
Since I don’t even have any lile, I couldn’t become anxious even if I wanted to
My short life as a slime
To accept the upco suffocation, I steeled my mind
I didn’t suffocate
Why is that? Did I not fall into water?
Ue]!
[Answer Because a sliic essence to move, there is no need to breath]
Speaking of which… I indeed didn’t notice, It seems that I didn’t breath at all
I see After ninety days, I learnt soht now, right!?
It seems that I’ve undoubtedly fell into water
Although I won’t die, the fact that I can’t get out still holds true
In the end, what’s happening?
I can’t even deter on the surface or had sunk into the bottom
Since I don’t have any limbs, I don’t have any ways to swim
Should I wait until I’ve hit the bottoround?
Or, should I just drift with the flow?
However this feeling, rather than to say drifting, it’s htly, it’s actually quite comfortable…
The water doesn’t see, this is probably a lake, since there are no feelings to floating up and down Don’t tell ood
And at this tiht of a fory!
What if I just s a large volu a water jet?
Without further ado, let’s try it out immediately Since I’m bored anyways……
All in all, I used [Predator] and sater, filling up around ten percent the volume of my stomach sack
I compressed these water, and released them all at once
This feeling of release, so awesome!
[Acquired Skill [Hydraulic Propulsion]]
A voice suddenly sounded in my head
Is this, the [World’s Discourse]?
Since it wasn’t [Great Sage] that explained it, it’s probably correct Just from the voice, it really is exactly the same
However, I don’t have any tiht now
As the water pressure built up, the feeling of pressure encroached my whole body, and I shot forith aof acceleration
Honestly saying, being blind right now may actually be better
In the pitch-black darkness, I could feelspeed
If one had gone on a water slide in a pitch-black amusement park, it should feel a bit similar to that
I have only experienced it once inextracurricular activity in an amusement park run by Mickey Mouse However, there are no safety devices this time
I really want to beat ht up this kind of horrible idea
I an idea? What kind of joke is this! Affirht!?
The fear le up into a ball
How long will this acceleration continue…… Actually, how ?
On the instant I had thought about it, my body crashed into a hard object and bounced back And the severe pain that had followed… seems like there is none
Eh? Did I not take dae?
[Answer Since [Pain Invalidation] was acquired, feelings of pain was coe Resistance], the dae is ten percent, [Slieneration] was activated Enable the Unique Skill [Predator]’s support effects? YES/NO]
Although injured, I wont be able to feel pain? That really is… a bit subtle However even if I can’t feel any pain, my body can still detect abnormalities, so from some standpoints it indeed didn’t matter
That said, [Predator]’s support? Although I don’t understand it, in short I’ll choose [YES]
Instantly, I clearly felt my a part of my body was cut away And after soain
It seeed was entirely predated, and after analyzing and repairing it was returned to the original position
What a convenient body… Next time, let’s experiment and see how much of my body can be reduced until I wouldn’t be able to erous experi a hand
Umu, it seems that I too, have learned to be cautious
This tie amount of recovery medicine, it wasn’t used at all
Nor a tenth of the body should be really severe, but it seeet injured, I’ll try to use the recovery medicine
Speaking of which, where is this?
After confirs
It can’t be guaranteed that there won’t be any dangerous monsters here
It looks like I’ve already escaped from the water, so it wouldn’t be weird even if there are monsters that inhabit by the water here
I started to cautiously take action
Recently, it feels like I’ve fallen into danger anytime I’ve mentioned ‘cautious’ This has to be only an illusion
I’ like this will become a FLAG……
(Can you hear me? Little one)
I see
Little one? Well, no matter how you think about it, that refers to me……
Rather than say it’s a voice, it isAfter all, right now I do not have any ears
(Oi! You should be able to hear? Hurry up and answer me!)
I heard you!
But, I can’t speak without a mouth
I tried answering in my heart with 【You’re noisy, Baldie!】
Well, after all he can’t hear it, so it should be fine But, how should I answer……
(……Hoho You actually dare to call ht that I shouldn’t be rude to a guest which I haven’t had in a long time, but it seems that you have a death wish!+ )
Not good, it seeain, so you can answer like this, if I was inforry
Also, I completely don’t kno the other party actually looks like
No choice, I surrender
