Chapter 1

It is dark where am I. Where have my arms gone? Wait a minute, I haven't had arms since I was reborn as Slime, but where am I now?

I've been through this before. Great wise one are you...

Nothing happens. Ok The skill Great Sage doesn't work, my other skills don't work.

He tries everything but nothing seems to work.

Rimuru runs in the dark through the gegent until he runs into something. What is it.

He gets close with his eyes.

I can't see anything. What is it? The ground starts to shake all at once - what is that?

It suddenly becomes very bright for whatever reason and Rimuru can see a giant spider.

Why is it here and what does it want? There have never been spiders in the world where am I.

Now that it is bright, he can see what is in front of him. An egg?

It's not just one egg, but many.

The egg in front of him suddenly starts to crack. He takes a few steps back.

One leg is already coming through the shell.

And now a spider comes through the whole shell.

She looks around frantically. Woooo I am. Cries the spider.

What you can talk. Rimuru asks.

The spider looks confused. Wait, you can talk?

Yes.

Now all the other spiders hatch from their eggs. The big spider starts eating the little ones.

What quickly away here screams the spider.

They run away for a while until they feel safe.

Ok now once again you are a spider and you can talk.

Yes and you are a slime and you can talk.

Have you been reborn asks rimuru.

Reborn? She looks confused.

Yes, you are from another world.

No, not at all, I'm just a spider that can talk.

What really. No, you're not exactly a half-wit, are you?

Something else. Rimuru deflects.

What is your name if you were reborn.

Ok My name was and still is Kumoko.

Ok your name is 'Kumoko. My name is Rimuru.

Ok hello Rimuru were you also reborn?

Yes, but for the second time.

What do you mean the second time?

Yes, I was reborn into another world and I don't think I'm in that world anymore.

Ok and where am I now and how do I get back?

Ok did you die or were you summoned?

I didn't die, I just wasn't sitting in the classroom.

Ok then you were summoned so maybe you can go back but I don't know.

Ok, but what do we do now?

We have to find our way out of here and see where we are.

Ok, I'm just going to call after you, ok?

Yes.

they run and jump through the cave.

What is it like to be a slime? Kumoko asks.

It was new when I was reborn, but now it's normal. And how is it as a spider.

It's funny, I have eight legs and they all move at the same time, but what do we do now?
