A certain slime in another world

Can't see anything...

Where am I exactly...?

By the way, what happened?

I feel like someone was teasing me about being a sage or great sage...

Oh yeah... I was run over and fell on a sharp rock...

Okay, I'm starting to remember everything...

Everything is fine now... This is no time to panic.

Well, I got run over and then...

Wait, I don't feel any pain anymore...?

I don't feel cold or hot... I can't... Open my eyes?

I can't see anything.

My hands... My feet... I don't feel them...

My body...

What happened to my body...?

[Response]

[You are currently a gelatinous organism composed of exactly the same fluid cells.]

Kyaaa!! Ehem!!

What the hell was that!?

[Response]

[This is a description of your current form.]

Erm... Ok... And what exactly are you? And why are you talking in my head? I asked curiously.

Honestly, most of my memories are still very vague.

[Response]

[I am the effect of your unique skill: Great Sage]

Ohhh!

Isn't that Rimuru's unique ability?

Great Sage, please report your abilities.

[Response]

[The unique skill: Great sage. It has six effects, which are:

Thought Acceleration: Increases the speed of thought processing a thousand times.

Analysis and Judgment: The ability to analyze and make judgments about a target.

Parallel Processing: The ability to detach thoughts and analysis from phenomena.

Chant Nullification: When using magic, chanting is no longer necessary.

All Creation: The ability to understand any phenomenon not hidden in this world. Depending on what the user understands and the information they know, additional information can be inferred. In other words, the user needs to see it (the phenomenon) at least once.

Automatic Battle Mode: By giving permission to the Great Sage, one can let him control his body temporarily.]

So this wasn't some kind of pre-death hallucination.

I was actually reincarnated with Rimuru.

Great sage, can you tell me where exactly I am now?

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis completed]

[You are currently in the sealed cave in the great forest of Jura]

After hearing the great sage's response, all I could think at that moment was: I really reincarnated as Rimuru in That time I got reincarnated as a slime.

As long as I follow the story I will become insanely strong, have a very 'respectful' secretary, several loyal servants and be the king of the Jura tempest federation!!

Ehem! Okay, my priority now is eating grass.

These grasses that dissolve every time they enter your body are not ordinary grasses, but Hipkute grass - a valuable magical herb that can only grow in places rich in magicles. It is the main ingredient in healing potions and ointments.

The higher the purity of the medicine, the better the effect. In the anime, the predator skill can purify up to 99% of the recovery medicine. Even if someone's limb is cut off, if they use the potion, they will recover immediately.

I started trying to move, while my 'eyes' seemed to stretch back.

Slippery ~~~

I never in my life thought that someday I would have to 'walk' like this.

I have to admit that although crawling on the floor is a little strange, it's not a bad feeling.

If I remember correctly, Rimuru usually jumps to move instead of crawling.

I tried to press my body but...

BOING~ BOING~

Ahhhhh, my body really feels soft and elastic now.

Hehehehe~ This is strangely amusing. I thought as I began to play childishly.

Hahaha, this is so funny!

THUD!!

Suddenly I felt like I hit something.

What the hell was that? A stone?? I thought as I felt part of my gelatinous body disappear.

But... It wasn't painful at all.

I have to admit that this body is very... Good...

What the fuck!! I still prefer my human body!!

[Response]

[Because you have acquired [Pain Cancellation] you will not feel pain.]

[Physical damage taken was 10%]

[Private skill [Self-Regeneration] has been activated]

A few seconds later, the part that had disappeared quickly recovered.

I have to admit that having a slime body isn't that bad...

------

And so time passed...

Before I knew it I had eaten more Hipokute herbs than I could count.

(Arrrrgh! More than a bummer!!) I mentally screamed as I leaned on what looked like a rock.

Yeah, I still haven't gotten that cool ability to see what's around me.

I guess I'm too dumb to remember how to achieve that.

(Ahh... By the way, Great Sage, is this stone valuable?) I asked while fidgeting on top of the stone.

[Analyzing...]

[Magisteel Ore]

[Minerals that remain in places rich in magicles after a long time absorb it and become magisteel]

(Yes!! Finally!!)

I had asked this same question at least 20 times.

Finally I managed to find the great Magisteel.

I quickly used my [Predator] skill and absorbed the Magisteel.

This was an extremely valuable stone.

Those dwarves from the kingdom of Dwargon would pay a fortune for a few kilos of that stone.

In a few seconds my body absorbed and dissolved the stone.

Wait... I don't remember what the abilities of the [Predator] skill are...

"Great Sage, clarify something for me, what are the abilities of the [Predator] skill?"

[Response]

[The unique skill [Predator] has five skills, which are:

Predation: absorbs the target into the body. However, if the target is conscious, the success rate greatly decreases. Affected targets include, but are not limited to: organic matter, inorganic matter, abilities, and magic.

Analysis: The absorbed target is studied and analyzed. Handcrafted items can then be produced. If the necessary materials are present, duplicates can be produced. In case of successful skill or magical analysis, the same technique can be acquired.

Stomach: Target can be stored. Items produced through Analysis can also be stored. There is no storage time limit.

Mimicry: Replicates the target's appearance. Skills and abilities used by the target can also be used. However, this depends on the success of the analysis and acquisition of information regarding the target. In the case of evolution of one of the user's progeny, the evolution is carried over to the user as well, possibly even giving the user the ability to imitate a higher stage of evolution than the one the progeny member evolved into.

Isolation: Materials that are harmful or unnecessary for analysis can also be stored. They will be used to replace magical energy.]

An incredible skill I have to admit...

If I'm not mistaken, [Predator] and [Great Sage] skills can be connected to improve the success rate in an analysis.

The effect of cooperation between these skills is not something as simple as 1+1=2.

Although the anime only shows him eating Hipokute herbs and Magisteelfor a few seconds, I'm sure I spent more than half a month devouring them.

(This cave is really big!!!)

(I'm already fed up with doing the same thing!!)

(And why the hell can't I taste anything even though this ability is called predator!?)

My boredom got the better of me so much that I started imitating more and more what Rimuru did in the anime.

I got the [Water Manipulation] skill while playing in a pond that I fell into by chance.

Just over 3 hours ago, I finally got the [Magic Detect] extra skill.

I could finally see what was around me.

Since I wasn't actually seeing with my eyes, my field of vision was an incredible 360°.

I could literally see everything around me.

(Where the hell is that Tsundere dragon?)

In tension, both monsters and adventurers are classified as A~F - all in these 6 categories. Those especially strong have a "+" attached, those weak have a "-".

This was a guidance from the World Traveler, Grandmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka. He established this classification system.

Until then, it was Beginner -> Beginner -> Intermediate -> Advanced; a four-step system that was easy to understand.

And by the way, Advanced is rank C and above, Intermediate is rank D, Beginner is rank E, and Novice is rank F. Thus, due to the introduction of the new system, the number of deaths due to fighting monsters stronger than the expected decreased significantly.

"+" and "-" only appear in Ranks A, B and C.

Those of the same rank would be matched one to one. Thus, fighting in a group became safer. Surpassing Rank A is the S-level rank specially designated Demon Lord (True), and above that is the monster with the strength of a Natural Disaster rank, Special S.

Deviating from the standard classification system, an abnormal existence. In the present, an A-class monster is capable of compromising the existence of a country. A force capable of inducing despair.

If adventurers are going to hunt B+ level monsters, multiple adventurers of the same category are needed (at least 3 or more people).

Even if 10 B-grade adventurers tried to subdue him, even if they were successful, there would certainly be casualties. Furthermore, just because a sighting has been confirmed, it does not mean that subjugation can begin immediately.

Normally, there are not many B+ adventurers who remain on the border; the problem is that monsters would appear very frequently.

The ogre village, although perhaps too small to call it that, only housed 300 ogres (300 B-level monsters). This is the size of a country's knight order. If you are planning to subjugate such a village with B-rank knights, you would need around 3,000 of them.

Rank B and adventurers below are not famous enough to be known outside their borders.

A Rank A Human is considered a Hero by Human Countries.

Although humans can only be ranked up to Rank A other exceptions are Chloe O'Bell, Leon Cromwell, Rudra Nam Ul Nasca since they became True Heroes who can compare with True Demon Lord.

In the original work, when Rimuru was born, he was almost a B-level monster. After getting a name from a certain Tsundere dragon, he evolved to A-level.

The so-called tsundere dragon is actually a Veldora storm dragon, a disaster-level monster.

Three hundred years ago, he unintentionally turned a city into ashes.

A woman known as a hero blessed with divine protection appeared to confront him.

Despite fighting seriously with her, he still lost and was trapped using the [Infinite Imprisonment] skill.

He is considered a god by many monsters in the forest of Jura.

To be honest, I didn't have much courage to find this dragon.

Come on, it's a dragon... While he's just a slime.

As I wandered around the cave for who knows how long I finally literally came face to face with the barrier.

(Hurt!! Wait, I don't feel pain...)

(Damn... I have to be more careful)

"Can you hear me... Little being...?"

Eeeek!

Suddenly I heard a deep voice, it was so sudden that even though I was prepared for it I was scared.

But instead of turning around, I continued standing in my position, only now trying to think of something to talk to him about.

"Ahh... You hear me, right?"

"Come on! Answer!"

"Are you deaf by any chance?"

(Ah! Shut up, baldhead!! I'm trying to think here!)

"Ohh~ You called me bald...?

(Ohh shit... I forgot about that.)

"RAHHHHHHHH!!"

"I was trying to be courteous since it's been a long time since I've had anyone here."

"But you look like you want to die!"

(Erm... Sorry to bother you!! I'm leaving now!)

The Dragon suddenly flinched and said, "What? Are you already...?"

Watching this scene in an anime and seeing it in real life is a totally different feeling.

This dragon's feeling of loneliness is almost condensing into reality!

(Erm... I think I'll stay a little longer, right? Because there's nothing for me to do anyway...)

"But of course! You can stay as long as you want!!"

I could practically see the joy emanating from Veldora.

(End of chapter)

By the way, what do you think of this new fic?
