Slime Life Start

It was dark. I only felt certain things adding up to myself or whatever am i now. It feels like falling forever. And now it is dark.

I am probably born as some slime i think. Man, what a journey i had.

A moment of tranquility. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, I could breathe and reflect. Slimes don't breathe i think.

In this moment of quiet reflection, I vow to cherish and protect the tranquility I had earned. He knew that challenges would arise again, but he felt ready to face them, bolstered by the strength of his journey and the unwavering support of his subordinates to be.

...

After some time.

I tried to feel my limbs and sense organs no nothing. Wait i can feel something beneath me. Probably leaves I think. My body slides as per intention. Well i am slime for sure.

'Great Sage are you there'

...

'Great sage?'

...

'RESPOND....oh wait, Unique skill Great sage requires 90 days for engraving to my soul fully'

I tried to absorb whatever below by instinct. It got digested. Absorb, digest and store slime intrinsic skills. What if i use predator? I instantly felt expanded and a whole lot of stuff is there inside the Stomach and it got stored. Both are subskills of gluttony I think.

I just need to feel then skill will instinctively work? I want to see. Let's go. Calm mind. wow i felt peaceful. Is this the skills work. yep definitely. I felt it.

This world is covered with abundant magicules all around. Feel the energy inside me. Feel the same around. After a second try, I could feel particles hanging in air and air currents.

Confirmed.Extra Skill 'Magic Sense' successfully acquired.

The moment i felt it activate i could see 360 degree surrounding view well not without the brain searing sensation.

In my excitement i activated it without great sage. well I need to process these interferences outside into actual view. it was a massive input load for my slime cells. Wait i have something like genius is it not? Activate it all the time.

I can feel sudden increase in my brain capacity. Wow my previous life memories are clear as it is. Including Satoru's memories. That's nice. our memories merged in my second life i think.

Well I probably can stand around the time travelling hero and otaku dragon now without suspicion. Well I am technically Satoru himself since our egos are merged.

I can compute very fast. Wow, then let me try link the Extra skill genius with Extra skill mathematician.

Confirmed.Extra Skill 'Mathematician' successfully linked with Extra Skill 'Genius' .

Well is this how my previous life study toppers felt like?

let me try 12,35,76,84,843 times 4,55,66,66,869 is 5,63,09,85,31,01,64,15,66,567. Hii... It came so naturally. I tried my magic sense now and i feel it so natural. I don't even have any searing sensation as before. Mathematician is useful for predictive computation and combat optimised strategies i think. I can just see the possible outcome for any movement infront i am able to think.

May be I could combine these two skills after i get deviant skill from shizu. Great sage has an ego but these don't; I like it is. I don't want to feel stupid infront of great sage.

Rest of the skills are gradually getting engraved to my body and soul i think. Many days are gone with this experimentation.

Now let me focus on the surroundings. Shiny rocks and small plants all around.

Let me consume some as i need this for trading with dwarves and healing goblins. I will leave the rest for this cave is used for hipokute cultivations.

...

It's been some time. I don't know how long. I am just exploring nearby since i have nothing left to do and i need great sage before meeting with our future otaku dragon. 

I saw a waterbody down the cliff. How come a cliff inside the cave? I don't know.

The sight was both mesmerizing and bewildering. Stalactites and magic ore hung like nature's chandeliers from the cavern's ceiling, their tips glistening.

The cliff edge where I stood was jagged, suggesting a violent shift in the rock formations eons ago.

I wish i could smell the air around. How could such a dramatic landscape exist underground? The cave was supposed to be a series of narrow, winding tunnels. Instead, it had opened up into this vast, cathedral-like space, with a cliff that defied my understanding of geology.

Never mind. Magical world it is and anything can happen. I just jumped down.

with a splash i am sinking deep. Water level is relatively deep. With magic sight I could see the water body surrounding my slime body. Slimes are denser than water. Wait how come our protagonist in the novel float in the hotsprings and bath house?.

I tried to move magic along the slime surface to gain control over surface currents. Sure enough.

Confirmed Extra Skill Water Current Movement acquired.

Me and my genius. Hehe.

Slimes are fantastic isn't it. I don't need to breathe but still the feeling of suffocation never came. Well if there is a magicule less space i need to venture further, I need to be careful right.

Received. A slime's body operates exclusively on magicules.Oxygen is not necessary. You are a semi spiritual being since you possess skills like gluttony which could devour skills from other beings that goes beyond the normal biological concept .

Wow.Great sage you came online. Hehe. I have been waiting for you. Well we need a detailed discussion later now i need to get out.

Received.Awaiting instructions.

I absorbed large amount of water into my stomach subskill and ejected out. Well first time outflow area is low. From the data I received from the attempt i can now instinctively use the optimum direction and angle of ejection to propel myself.

Confirmed. Extra Skill water propulsion acquired.

Reached the surface myself. Used current movement to reach the shore.
