So it begins
They say the world will end not with a bang, but with a whimper… Unfortunatly for me, mine ended with a bang.
Well, that is if you qualify a godly mistake as a bang.
You know how it goes by now Random Omnipotent Being or ROB drops lightning on a poor snod or accidentally sends truck-kun to grab his soul or mistake him for another person and kills him early.
Well, all of thoes happened to me. Got struck by lightning while crossing the street and Truck-kun decided to pay a visit few minutes later. I guess laying on the middle of a crosswalk passed out on a rainy day didn't help truck-kun's vision. All because I had the same name as the guy who insulted a ROB.
But to be honest it isn't too bad. Thanks to that I am now standing in front of the apologetic ROB and not in endless tortuer becouse he cought his mistake last second. And you know what comes next..
****
' Oh…. this is awkward..'
I lived practically an eternity, how can I make a mistake like this? All the other GODs will laugh at me if they find about this. Well I would do the same and I did actually when she made a mistake. But it's one thing I laugh at them another they laugh at me.
I can't let that happen, let's just reincarnat this mortal as fast as possible before they get a wind of it.
"Well, kid. Today is your lucky day. You get to be reincarnated."
The mortal soul remain unresponsive. Maybe he's shocked that he just died or that he's like this because he is in front of a divine's presence?
"I guess you'er still in shock from dying. Let me fix that, I'll also make it so you'er as calm minded until I reincarnat you. Ok?"
"Oh, thanks?"
"So, tell me which world do you want to be reincarnated in?"
"Reincarnate? What do you mean which world? any world? Do I get wishes? cheat powers?"
cheat powers?? You wish. You should be greatful that I'm giving you a reincarnation choice mortal.
"Yes, any world, anime, games, tv etc. No there will be no cheats or wishes from me. But I will reincarnate you whomever you want to be reincarnated as, I can help you this much for my mistake."
"Well, in that case… I want to be Rimuru Tempest. Just after he was reincarnated into a slime."
"If that's you want I can do that.
Goodbye."
With that the evidence is no more. So I made no mistake.
****
It's dark, like really dark. where is this place?
I can't see nor can I hear.
The last thing I remember is….oh!OHH!!!
Right I reincarnated as Rimuru.
'I am op motherf***ing Rimuru Tempest'
'Great sage are you there?'
…
'Great sage?'
…
'Come on response'
…
Wait!!
Did I really reincarnated? Or am I dreaming? NO, The Rob was real, I clearly remembered it and I can feel my body and it's a squishy body. But, did I not get great sage? That can't be happening. Rimuru became OP because Great sage later Raphael.
No, wait!
Great sage was inactive for 90 days if I remembered correctly.
It need time to fuse itself with the soul. I can't be sure.
Let's see if I have Predator skill.
'Hipokute herbs, Hipokute herbs'
Few seconds later I felt some grass like things dissolve into my stomach.
And I heard a voice.
Use unique skill "Predator"?
Yes
No
'Yessssss, Fuck!'
Thank goodness, I really thought I was in a mental hospital and on some drugs despite the vividness of it all.
Now I'm sure I reincarnated as Rimuru.
*
It took roughly fifty minutes for Predator's Analysis to be done and now I have data about Hipokute herbs, it's in my brain but unorganized. I've to manually organise the data.... I want my Great sage.
Let's just stop the skill and do what Rimuru did, what else can I do otherwise. There is no one here.
**
It was another day...
maybe.
It's going as usual eat as many Hipokute herbs as possible live nothing behind and if you find an magic ore eat that too. . . . but! butttt! BUT!!
It's fucking boring.
There's nothing else to do, no one to talk. How the fuck Rimuru lived like this?
Now, I really feel Veldora. How can he live in this boredom. Even I can elevate my boredom some what by roaming and eating, even though I didn't came across any monster not that I want to not until Great sage activate, but Veldora? He can't even do that, poor soul.
Anyway, the question is what to do now? I'm fucking bored with eating. what to do? what to do??
Right! can't I just try sensing the magicule in the environment ?
Received. It is possible to sense outside magicule.
what is this??? Is it finally time!?
Received. This is the effect of the unique skill "Great Sage." The skill has taken effect, making it more immediately
available.
Is that really you Great sage? not just my imagination?
Received. This is unique skill "Great Sage."
Fuckk!!! finally. I really thought I didn't have you. fuckk why did you take so long?
Am I crying?
Can I even cry?
No don't answer...
*
Now moving on, Great sage is not a sentient at the moment so it can only recive my questions and assist me. But now that my OP Great sage is here it's time for me to stop wasting time and start the next stage. Which is find Veldora and receive a name.
I have to find valdora and cox him to name me, it is my top piority. But where do I find him? I can't even see or hear.
Right!! magic sense.
How was it again?
Right exerte force with my magic to the environment's magicule and perceive the change, I think i can do it.
Let's give it a try.
Confirmed. Extra skill "Magic Sense"…successfully acquired.
Right at that moment, My brain was filled with new information. A massive amount, something my human brain never could've processed—the waves of light and sound pushing every single tiny particle around—and I processed it all, converting it into perceptible data.
It was not clear. The entire area was filled with vibrant and colourful magicule. And only that magicule, some deep coloured some are thin. I can't process all the information meticulously to make clear sense.
So I-
'Great sage you handle the information.'
-dumped it on great sage.
Received.
Synchronizing extra skill Magic Sense with unique skill Great Sage… Successful. All information will now be managed by Great Sage.
And suddenly It was not vague anymore. I can clearly see everything. Bright colors and clear sight I was not used to. Way much better than my human eyes. And I could see 360 with full clearity. Fuck! I love this.
With my sight back I headed to find Veldora. I have enough of this cave. It is time for action.
**
It's been a few days and I'm back to my routine eat,move, eat and move!. How many days has it been since I acquired magic sense?
Received. It has been 8 days.
And I still haven't seen any monster let alone Veldora. But it's to be expected that no monster will ever go near Veldora even if they can survive the magicule concentration. Or there is no monster here besides myself and Veldora.
Anyway, I returned my routine.
And now, the next day, I'm standing infront of a underground creek the one which rimuru learned 'Water Pressure Propulsion' so that means Veldora is nearby.
'Now that I'm Infront of a water source, wouldn't it be awesome to learn the extra skill Control Water.'
I think it the combination of three water based skill. Ok, let's do this.
*
Skill "Water Blade" acquired.
Skills "Water Pressure Propulsion," "Current Movement," and "Water Blade" acquired. Combining and upgrading to extra skill "Control Water."
Just like that I gained another extra skill. Though it wasn't that easy it took time and practice, it wasn't that hard either. But it's ok, it was fun like really fun playing with the water,
By extension magic! Now, how many skill do I have? let's ask my trusty skill.
'Great sage list my skills, please.'
Understood.
Unique skills: Great sage, Predator.
Extra skills: Magic Sense, Control Water.
Common skill: None.
Intrinsic skill: Absorb, Self-regeneration, Dissolve.
Tolerance: Resist Temperature, Resist Electricity, Resist Melee Attack, Resist Paralysis.
So this is my skill list, hmm. Let's also ask details of my unique skills. I forgot most of the details.
'Great sage describe the unique skills.'
Received. The unique skill "Predator" chiefly comprises the following five effects:
Predation: Takes the target into your body. Lesser chance of success if the target has its own consciousness. Can be targeted on organic and inorganic objects, as well as skills and magic.
Analysis: Analyzes and researches targets taken into your body. Lets you create craftable items. If the required materials are present, allows you to make a copy of the item. Successful Analysis of the casting method allows you to learn the target's skills and magic.
Stomach: Stores the Predated target. Can also store materials created via Analysis. Items stored in your stomach are unaffected by time.
Mimicry: Reproduces the form and skills of absorbed targets. Only available once the target has been Analyzed.
Isolate: Stores harmful effects incapable of being analyzed, neutralizing them and breaking them down into magical force.
The unique skill "Great Sage" skill consisted of five effects:
Hasten Thought: Boosts perception speed by a thousand times.
Analyze and Assess: Analyzes and assesses the target.
Parallel Operation: Operates on any matter you wish to analyze, separating it from the regular thought process.
Cast Cancel: Annuls the casting period required when using magic, et cetera.
All of Creation: Provides full coverage of all unsuppressed matter and phenomena in this world.
With that out of the way let's resume the search of Veldora. But this lake is huge, how can I find him fast? Rimuru accidentally found him. Then again I have magic sense, he didn't.
'Ah! hey great sage can you make a map using the data of magic sense?'
Received. It is possible. Whould you like to display it in your brain?
Yes
No
'Yes.'
And just like that. I now have a mini map that uses all data of magic sense and save the data to make the map, now I don't have to repeat a path again unknowingly. Wonder if I can map the whole world?
And then after a few hours I felt a huge amount of magicule signature.
'That must be Veldora.' As a True dragon he's filled with magicule, so it was easy to identify him with magic sense, also I didn't have to repeat same path in this maze like cave.
But the question is, how should I approach him from here? I can't let him see my mind after I store him with his unique skill. I can't let anyone know my memories. I have to protect them at all costs.
Understood. Unique skill great sage will protect the memories from now on.
'Thank god. I knew I can count on my trusty Sage.' With that it was time for my confrontation with the True Dragon Veldora and I will defeat him and make the world a better place for I am a Righteous Hero,tehe.
As I neared Veldora I heard a deep voice coming from where he is. It was a majestic voice. I still couldn't see him clearly but it's getting clearer as I approach him.
'Can you hear me, little one?'
I hear you. But how do I reply? Just as he entered my clear sight I froze and a loud surprised shriek-
'Ahhhhk!!'
-left my mouth? I don't have a mouth, so thought?
'Don't be scared. I will not kill you' with his deep voice he reassured.
'I'm not scared!! ' I replied with shaky thought.
He is terrifyingly huge and the aura he's leaking. Fuck, let's be as friendly as possible what can go wrong and he is imprisoned, I can do this.
'Oh? you're not afraid of me? I see you have some guts for a slime. Maybe a unique one.
But this is fantastic. Then allow me to introduce my self,
I am the Storm Dragon, Veldora.'
'Hello,' I said with as friendliness as possible.
'So, what are you doing here?'
What am I doing here in this cave or this universe? If it's the former then-
'I was born in this cave.'
-if it's the later then...hehehe.
'Well, It is possible for monster to be born from high concentration of magicule. And this cave is filled to the brim with my magicule.'
'So, I'm your son, then?' I asked jokingly. And he burst out of laughter.
'Ahhhhh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!
No, not your parent by blood. I have no reproductive ability to speak of.
Some monsters do, and some do not, you see.'
'So, Is this your home or something?' I knew the answer but I asked for the sake conversation.
'Aah-ha-ha-HA-HA..
No, I am imprisoned here'
'You're imprisoned!?' I faked surprised.
'Well, you see, I fought with a hero….' and so he recited his tale and I listened. Hearing directly from him about the fight was more entertaining than I thought.
After he finished his story I offered him a deal.
'I think I can help to unseal you but in return I want a name and be your friend.'
'Heh-heh-heh-heh…Eh-ha-ha. Ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
A tiny slime my friend?? Ahh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!'
'You can rot here then.' saying that I began to move. I'm just pretending to leave.
'No wait,
I will be your friend no need to leave.'
That's what I thought.
'So, deal ok then?'
'Very well, I will be your friend.'
'Welcome aboard, Veldora-kun' suddenly he didn't seem as scary as I felt, he seemed cute,
kinda.
'Now, I'll name you and you do the same, it'll make us equal. And give me a cool name, ok?'
'How about Tempest? It's a cool name right??' I just copied what Rimuru gave. I'm not good with names. I'll do the same in the future too.
'Tempest…Tempest..TEMPEST. Muuha-ha-ha-ha! Now that's a cool name indeed. Very well, From this day fourth I shall be known as Veldora Tempest.
Now it's your turn. From this day fourth you shall be known as Rimuru Tempest.'
Thus the name was carved into my soul. Not that it did too much to me. Or my abilities. But somewhere, deep inside my soul, something did change a bit. I suppose the same could be said of Veldora. And that's how we became friends.(A/N: Did I just copy-pest it? Maybe.what you gonna do?)
'Now getting to the business. I can unseal you but you have to be in my stomach for some time and you have to give me data of the skill from the inside I'll analyse it and break the seal. Understood?'
'Alright, it's boring outside anyway. I'll be in your care then Rimuru.'
With his consent I used my predator skill and stored him in my stomach. Great sage connect the analysis with Parallel Operation and began the analysis.
Received. It is done. It'll take time to fully analyse the skill.
