Chapter 1 - Trying to get to Ruai

Cyrus huffed and puffed as he walked a long wide road.

After calling God back to whack him in the head, God sulkily told him that he had an inventory, where he had stored a set of clothes and a map.

Cyrus would have to travel a few miles before he could reach the border of the town of Ruai, and he was not been pleased with this information.

He scowled at the ground as he took a break. "Jeez God, couldn't you have given me a better location to have been reincarnated in?" He then sighed heavily and started to get up, for the long trudge ahead.

Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from bushes near the road. Cyrus immediately jumped back and got into a boxer's stance. Of course, he had never boxed even a second of his life, he was just copying something he had once seen on TV.

Just as he was getting mentally prepared, a slime popped out from between the branches of the bush, and Cyrus put his arms down in surprise. "What's a little guy like you doing out here, near a road where you could get easily squashed?"

The slime just stared at Cyrus, then lunged toward him. Cyrus yanked backwards in surprise, and just a few inches away from him was the slime, waving around its gelatinous body around, waiting for the time t pounce again.

<<Tamer Cyrus UnVeil Knight, would you like to subjugate this monster?>>

Cyrus turned his head back and force suspiciously, looking around for the one who was talking to him. He then turned back to face the slime, but a screen popped up in front of him with the questions and two answers,YES or NO.

"This must be God's doing,"Cyrus relaxed a bit, then focused on the question. "Hmm, if I could tame this small monster, I'd be able to spend time with someone! I'll choose...Yes."

He pressed down on YES, and waited for the slime to become friendly with him. Instead, the slime vanished and Cyrus could once more see the screen in front of him, stating 'You have subjugated this monster, and have gained its ability.'

Then, his stats popped up and he read it out loud.

Cyrus stared at these stats in shock, then raised his head and kneeled. To add the final touch, he smiled pleasantly before saying, "God is almighty, God is cool, I pray to God, give me more!"

He felt that God was probably giving him the stink eye for being too much earlier, so he got to his feet. he turned back to his status screen, but noticed something odd.

"What the heck is 'Slime'?" After a few seconds, he thought, 'Whatever, I'll just press on it.' The moment his finger hit the button, his body disappeared, leaving a pile of clothes and a gelatinous round slime.

Cyrus was silent, then gathered his clothing into his inventory. "Lets see what else I have!" Suddenly, new skills appeared, and one caught his eye. "Slime absorption? I can absorb my own kind? Wow..."

He skimmed over the new abilities, then turned back to his original skills. "Hmm, to be in this slime form constantly is a pain, do I have a creation skill...?" He looked at his abilities smugly before smirking a bit.

"I shall create a body for myself!" He then thought 'Creation!' as hard as he could, and a new screen opened up in front of him.

"It says here that I can change the shape of whatever I want. I'll name it Cyrus's third body, the Slime human! I will be able to be slime and human at the same time!" Cyrus dialed it in, then added adjustments to his face and body. "I have to make myself a pretty boy!"

Cyrus pressed confirm, and several things happened at once. First, his status updated, saying he was now level 3 and he had a third race, Slime Human. Second, he felt his power had been halved, and third, he was feeling breezy again.

"God! I'm nude! AGAIN!" he quickly grabbed his clothes from his inventory and slipped into them. "At least this way, it'll be safer for me. Also, I can travel much faster as a slime, as in that form, I don't get tired!"

"Wait, why am I talking myself?" Cyrus turned his head fervently so he could make sure no one had noticed what had just taken place then said, "it's because I have no one else to talk to. Oh well, time to get moving again!"

And with that, Cyrus headed off for Ruai Town, happily skipping and bouncing.
