A certain slime in another world

"Blurg!!"

"S-save me!"

I held out my blood-stained hands.

I had just been run over by a bastard, probably one of those spoiled rich people, he's driving a fucking Lamborghini Aventador SVJ roadmaster.

How do I know this? Well, like most guys, I like a good car.

But the son of a bitch who hit me didn't stop the damn car.

He pressed the accelerator to get away from here.

"D-bastard... I swear I'll haunt you if I turn into a ghost... Blergh!"

I muttered as I vomited another mouthful of blood.

I was completely screwed, my legs were bent in a position they shouldn't be.

I'm pretty sure my spine is fucking broken, I can't even feel the pain in my lower limbs, hell, I'm pretty sure if I end up getting out of this I'll be a paraplegic for the rest of my life.

To my dismay, the damn car kept driving away without showing any sign of stopping.

To my delight, the Lamborghini crashed into the track fence and plunged gloriously towards the gorge.

After just a few seconds I could hear the sweet sound of an explosion.

(Take that!! It seems like God is still on my side!! Haha!)

Whoever ran me over must be sinking into the deepest circle of hell right now.

Or he could somehow still be alive after that explosion and suffering.

"Ahh... Uhhh... Ahh~" I breathed deeply as I looked at the starry sky above me.

My name is Masaru Mikami.

The Masaru in my name means 'Winner' or 'Superior', but it seems like my life has been just defeats on top of defeats.

Superior? How silly, everyone I know has somehow done well in life.

Even that bitch, Ayaka Sato, my ex-girlfriend, after cheating on me and leaving me to be with a total nobody, managed to move up in life.

My name Mikami has roots in Shizuoka Prefecture, and can be interpreted as 'Brightness of the sky'. Nonsense... What shine? I don't remember that 'glow'...

For as long as I can remember, my life has been disaster on top of disaster.

My father was a damn drunk, he often beat me, my sister and my mother for any nonsense...

My older sister, she committed suicide after being... Well, you can imagine... By a bunch of thugs.

My country... My parents abandoned me and then fled to another country after acquiring a debt of over 2 million Yen with the Yakuza.

This happened when I was just 12 years old.

I had to work for the Yakuza to pay off their damn debt.

Years of doing their dirty work... I can still remember the look of terror on the first people they made me kill...

It was some kind of initiation ceremony.

I was forced to kill a man in cold blood...

My life continued like this until two years ago, finally the debt had been paid.

I managed to leave the Yakuza, under the oath that nothing that happened could be exposed, and they would hunt me down and kill me.

Who was I to turn down such a good offer.

It was a few weeks later that I met Ayaka.

We fell in love, started dating, and you already know what happened.

Now, I'm here... Remembering everything that happened in my life...

"Ugh... Glurgh!"

cough cough

When that car hit me, I was thrown onto a sharp rock.

That's probably what pierced me and broke my back...

I could feel my blood slowly flowing out of the cut as my consciousness became increasingly blurred.

(I'm really going to die, aren't I?)

(As much as I didn't like the life I was leading... I don't want to die... At least not now...)

38 years, I lived little, I couldn't enjoy almost anything in my life, especially after I managed to leave the Yakuza.

But, there was one thing I could take advantage of...

Anime, at some point I acquired a love for anime.

I even had some action figures of anime characters.

At least I won't have to pay rent this month.

(Damn... If I had known I was going to die today, I would have maxed out my credit card.)

My vision became increasingly blurred, as I felt a slight heat from my blood.

(Is this what death feels like?)

My consciousness was increasingly blurred when I could hear a robotic voice in my head.

[Confirmed]

[Acquisition Success: Heat Resistance]

(What is that?)

(If that rock hadn't stabbed me, would I still have any chance of surviving?)

[Confirmed]

[Success when acquiring: Stab Resistance]

[Continuing]

[Success when acquiring: Resistance to Physical Attacks.]

(Stab Resistance? Physical Attack Resistance?)

(Why...does this sound so familiar?)

(Ahh... I remember... That's how that anime started... "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime".)

(If I'm not mistaken, it was when the protagonist, Satoru Mikami, was dying, right?)

(What a coincidence... My last name is also Mikami...)

(Am I hallucinating?)

Is there any chance that I could end up reincarnated in another world? I thought as my still bleary eyes focused on the stars in the sky.

That slight joy made my body shake a little.

(Damn... What a pain... My blood... It doesn't stop flowing...)

[Confirmed]

[Acquiring Success: Pain Nullification]

[Creating a body that does not require blood]

Pain nullification is an incredible skill. I thought.

But what the hell was a body that didn't require blood? Like, what the hell.

I continued breathing heavily.

Every time I sucked in a little air into my lungs, I could feel my fractured ribs cutting into me from the inside...

My injuries were so severe that I was quickly losing control over my body.

I couldn't even move my arms anymore.

My consciousness was becoming increasingly blurry.

(How cold...)

[Confirmed]

[Acquiring Success: Cold Resistance]

[The acquisition of skills: Heat resistance and cold resistance. Result in a new ability: Thermal Fluctuation Resistance.]

At this moment the sound of thunder sounded in the distance.

(Is that thunder? Would I feel anything if an electric current passed through me?)

[Confirmed]

[Success when acquiring: Electrical resistance tied to skill: Paralysis resistance.]

[Successful Acquisition]

(I can't believe I'm still dying a virgin...)

(If I'm reborn... I'll grab all the girls...)

[Unique Skill: Predator]

[Successful Acquisition]

(If I remember correctly, Satoru Mikami mentioned that... A virgin guy at 30 turns into a wizard...)

(I think I'm in the same situation as him... I'm already close to 40 and I'm still a virgin, so I would also be a great sage... Hehe...)

[Extra skill: Sage acquired]

[Continuing]

[Sage transforms into the unique skill: Great Sage]

[Successful]

(Ugh... What... Talk...)

(I wish I could have read the ending of One Punch Man...)

[Confirmed]

[World Keyword: One Punch Man... has been acquired]

[Error! Error! Error!]

[Unable to execute]

[Recalculating...]

I could feel my consciousness slipping away.

I'm so sleepy...

Slowly, my consciousness faded as my heartbeat stopped...

(End of chapter)

I'm going to start posting this fic here on WN, but it's going to be like a test, I want to know how well it's going to do here, anyway.

By the way, this fic is being written entirely by me, so help me out by throwing some rocks at me, okay?
