Grul and Slime 1

"Ugh, my head. Well, I guess that is expected when you think about all that reincarnation. But still, couldn't they install at least some safety belts. The rocking and swinging that you experience while going through that tunnel is indeed the worst experience except for the soul cleansing."- While I still was groaning from the unpleasant journey, I got a look at the surroundings. Well, and it wasn't what I was expecting.

Because I was hinted that I will be reincarnated as a human, so I expected to see sterile surroundings, loving faces of my new mother and father, and maybe some siblings. But I didn't see any of that. Instead what greeted me was rundown building, dust, broken windows. Practically what you'd see in slums in a fantasy world. Oh yeah, there was still another 'thing' that I saw. A green with red spots little humanoid creature. He/She had small horns that looked anything but threatening, a slim tail with a little triangle in the end and sharp teeth that was glistening with red lights.

" $@%#$@%%@%#&#$@%…. fajsfwiz… Satan hiiwbsua… finally. Ahhh?" these were the first thing that I heard since arriving in this mysterious world.

At first, what the little creature that resembled imp. Yea. Let's call him Imp. As I was saying, at first all I was hearing was just some sounds that didn't have any order or meaning to me. But then the world was, what seemed to me, muted and paused simultaneously. The surrounding stilled, even the colors turned dull, the bright red spots that were on imps skin turned into dried blood color. The grey walls and floor became even more pessimistic in color. After a few moments, the world regained his colors, and the sounds now seemed more like some bunched up letters. That happened for a few times until finally, I was able to understand that the imp was talking about Satan and about achieving something finally. But suddenly the imp screamed and fainted. And just when I returned to reality, something made a *ding* sound in my head.

*ding* '"Fantasia Heaven System is starting up. Due to the initial startup being interrupted, the host was compensated with one Legendary Grade Suprizebox. The host is advised to wait while the system is starting up, integrating with host soul and scanning surroundings before moving anywhere.'"

As I heard the emotionless voice talking inside my head, it then hit me-" So it's really a system, huh?"

And of course, I didn't move, partly because the system recommended me, but mostly because I didn't even know how to. I mean, I didn't have any legs, arms or even teeth that I could cling with to something. So I started to sort out the information and problems I had.

1. I'm not in the human body.

2. It looks like I'm surrounded by what seems to be imps from fairy tales.

3. I don't know where I am and where should I go.

4…. I don't even know how to use my Thallias , which is the only thing that could help me now.

So basically I'm screwed. Well, at least that's what I thought. But then the machine-like voice came back.

"'Integrating completed. Scanning completed. Would host like to view the world map?"'

" Yes. Yes, I do." I screamed with all my power inside my mind, hoping that system would understand and respond.

*peep* "'Showing the world map"'

And then I saw something similar to a hologram in my vision. It reminded me of those old roleplaying games that had detailed minimap, and not so detailed map that showed a bigger radius and most important spots.

" Drolalius Empire, VI Demon Army, Barracks, Training grounds, Colosseum, Shitter.

Hmmm, important spots indeed, but why shitter though. Well, that does not matter, I'm not going anywhere anyway. First I need to know more about the power structure of this world, and what I can offend or kill, and what I shouldn't."- With those words, my quest to the top of the world started.

"But first I need to figure out how to move this thing. Because I can't become stronger without moving. But the thing I don't understand is how can I see and hear a thing even though I don't have eyes or ears"

*ding* "'Answer. The host is subconsciously using mana resonance to feel mana particles move and deduct how the thing would be seen. The same technique is being used to 'hear' thing by feeling how sound waves interrupt mana flow in the air. This technique is available just because the host body is made from Void Ether- A higher tier energy than mana."'

" Oh sweet, so this system can even answer this kind of question. Ok, System, let's call you Feha for now, how do I move."

*ding* "'Answer. The host should try to think that he owns some limbs and that he is moving them."'

" Hmm. Makes sense."

And with that, I imagined that I have several cool looking dragon legs and started walking. I didn't feel it at first, but when opened my 'eyes' I noticed that I was already outside the magic circle, and not in the center of it like I was before.

"Yes, with this, I can live." so I started practicing moving. At first, it was hard, but after bumping the walls for a couple of times, I moved with ease like I really had dragon legs. And I must say, that while my body was extremely small, I was able to move faster than my human body in the past possibly could. My agility also was through the roof. The sharp turns that I was doing felt something out of reality.

"Oh yeah, agility hmm. Fera , could you show my status if that's possible."

*ding* "'Command 'Show Status' is available for the host to use, but the system would need a scale to display hosts status."'

" Scale, hmmm. Ok. Use Jaguar for speed and strength of a bull for scale, but they should be set at ten points each."

*Ding*"'Done. Showing Host's stats.

Strength: 2

Speed: 7

Spirit: 1"'

"Oh shit, 7 for speed, doesn't that mean that I'm almost as fast as a jaguar. Nice. But I wonder what should I do from now. Heh, let's try to search for some information in those books, and see if I can even read it."

After saying all that, I moved my little jelly-like body towards the numerous books in the corner. As I assumed that this is the hideout of that little creature, he still regained some order. The books, although not on the shelf, but still were stacked neatly in an orderly manner. But I didn't have much choice, I rammed into the pile of books, hoping to open at least one of the books, and read it that way. And it succeeded. One book got flipped open and I could already imagine just how smart and knowledge will I become once I read it. But just when I wanted to dive into all that information I heard something groaning in a way one would groan after a good party.

After I 'turned my neck' and saw from where this was coming, I saw the little imp getting up from the ground with a dangerous looking dagger in his hands.

"Well, shit," I thought.
