New beginnings

In an ever expanding space littered with stars and galaxies, floats a young girl no older than 6 or 7. With hair akin to the blue sky, with slight undertones of silver littered throughout, facial features than can only be described as absolutely divine surpassing any and every god or goddess. delicate facial features that look as if they were skulpted and made with the word perfect in mind.

Although she looks like a child that would be helpless infront of any and all danger, it is contradicted by the sheer presences and aura radiating from her being. If anyone weaker than than an ultimate class being came into contact with her aura they'd instantly turned to ash without even being able to register that they died.

As she floats through the vast emptiness with an unknown destination, a cute young girl with doll like features that appears to be in her early adolescence with jet black hair reminiscent of the night sky that reaches down past her waist, eyes the colour of ash with an outline of black. One would mistaken her for a human were it not for her pointed ears indicating otherwise.

as she approaches the sleeping beauty she can't help by stare in awe at the shear presence this seemingly young girl is giving off not to mention her ethereal beauty that cannot be seen anywhere else. While seeminly entranced by the girls beauty she is snapped back to reality by the voice of a man she knew all too well.

"Aren't you staring a bit to hard ophis. If she wakes up and see's you staring like that you'll come off as a pervert" he stated with a smirk plastered across his face.

"mind you're own business baka red. Don't you have anything better to do than stalk me like a creep" she barked back with obvious annoyance in her tone.

"I didnt come to see you, I just came to see what that huge spike in energy was that makes us pale in comparison. I never thought that a child would be the cause, let alone one that feels so similar to you and me. Do you have any idea where she came from?"

"Why the hell would i? I only just got here as well. she came out of nowhere, i didn't even feel her entering the dimensional gap, it's as if she just formed here."

they sat in silence for minutes as if contempling something before great red spoke once again.

"We should just ask her directly then, if neither of us know where she came from. child, i know you're awake there is no use pretending you're still asleep"

silence covered the area once more with no signs of the child awakening. After a minute of the child not moving a single muscle her eyes slowly opened revealing an entrancing pair of golden eyes seemingly analysing anything and everything that came into they're view.

Unknown girl POV

As i slowly start to regain consciousness my eyes flutter open only to be met with a vast space filled with nothing but small lights littered all around me, not a single piece of land for me to stand on.

I try to recall where i am but i'm met with nothing. Im suddenly hit with a earth shattering headache that threatens to split open my skull as vague memory's fill my head.

I'm walking around a place filled with giant structures that seem to reach the sky, covered with panels that reflect the ever clear blue sky. i'm walking next to a man and a woman speaking words that fail to reach my ears. As i hear a scream and shout from behind me i try to turn around to discern what the cause is only to be met with a an object in my stomach. As i collapse on the ground the man i was walking with is clutching onto me with tear filled eyes speaking words that no matter how hard i try to hear slip away from me and fade into nothingness. as my vision blurs and starts to fade im met with…..

nothing.

Pure unfiltered nothingness. There is no sound to be heard no light to be seen, as if anything that tries will be swallowed while not allowing anything to escape its grasp. As i lie there time continues to flow, without a sense of time i cannot be sure how long i spent like that until my vision gets flooded once again.

standing infront of me is a single entity, large enough to rival a mountain. he sits down and stares at me from behind a rainbow coloured see through wall. It seems we were conversing for a while although i was unable to hear what was being said, until i heard 2 simple words

rimuru tempest.

In the next moment a warm feeling flooded my entire body. It felt as if i was covered in a warm light that could make me drift off into a never ending sleep never wanting to awaken again. as the light died down i once again conversed with the dragon still not being able to hear what was said. After touching its claw the dragon and rainbow coloured wall was eaten by me im under a few seconds.

The scenery flashes by in a blur unable to discern what was happing until i was met with an old woman with gray hair in a hut. As she was talking i could feel my chest tighten and tears threatening to spill as she continued to talk to me. After she was finished talking we sat in silence as i said a few words to her. After the words left my mouth i could see a tear slowly rolling down her cheek. As the tear slid off her cheek i started to expand my body and covered hers.

I ate her .

before i could question as to why i would eat her when i was feeling such sadness, everything blurs once again. When the scenery starts to refocus i am met with a beautiful city where people with diverse looks are smiling and walking around. As i turn my head to check my surroundings i am met with a group of people smiling towards me. From they way they look at me i can tell that i can do no wrong in there eyes, for the amount of admiration and affection held in there gazes tells me that i am an irreplaceable person for them. As i look at there faces an unimaginable amount of guilt and sorrow fills my heart. Before i can ponder any longer i am surrounded by there lifeless corpses. All of them mutilated and barely recognisable from all of the blood and guts surrounding them and there bodies. As i look down to my hands i can see the body of a young girl with golden blonde hair. As i gaze into her eyes she manages to squeak out 1 word before giving in to the absoluteness known as death.

Why?

i can feel anger bubbling from within me threatening to destroy anyone and everything that dares to lay their eyes on me. as i blink i am flying high above a massive city filled with millions of people walking around and smiling. As i see the look of happiness on their faces it fills me with nothing but rage. I mutter but a few words but in the next instance there is nothing but a wasteland where the once massive capital stood. As i watch the souls of every being slowly filter towards me i can do nothing but weep. As i turn around i am met with a massive army consisting of a variety of different races all barring their fangs towards a single entity.

Me.

I summon a jet black katana that gives of the feeling of death itself with nothing but black colouring the blade. As i raise the Katana towards the large army i am filled with nothing but contempt for myself and peace that i will soon be given judgement by the world. As soon as i charge in i am met with a blinding light forcing my eyes shut. when i open them again i am met with the same expansive space i once occupied.

Unsure of what just happened or who's memory's they are i try to sort through them and remember any words that were said. The only thing i that was comprehensible was a single name.

Rimuru tempest.

'I guess my names rimuru tempest? I think?'

[That is correct master.]

'huh? Who said that? I didn't even say anything out loud.'

As i quickly flick my head back and forth trying to locate the source of the voice i am met with an answer that leaves me shocked and with more questions.

[I am one with masters soul, she doe not need to say anything alloud for me to hear as i reside inside of master i am able to talk directly to you're soul or conscious.]

(how does that even work. How'd you get inside of me, i don't remember letting anyone inside of me let alone my soul.)

[I am a manas born from an ultimate skill you had in your previous life. After master gave me the name ciel i evolved into a higher life form.]

(wait wait, you mean everything i saw was real? does that mean i killed all those people even the nice looking ones that were smiling at me?)

[…..correct.]

'Why do i feel so much more grief towards them rather than the millions of people that i slaughtered….'

As i was thinking about why i felt such grief i was met with a warning.

[WARNING. 2 large sources of magicules heading towards master at high speeds.]

(what? what are magicules? why did you warn me about them?)

[Magicles are the building blocks of magical/demonic life as well as the base for all magic. master was warned as both individuals have a core that is similar but not the same to the true dragon core that master possess. although both entity's cannot be reborn after death.]

(Oh! so doesn't that make them like my older siblings? shouldn't we go say hi to them then?)

[correct and incorrect. It is something similar to a famial bond but it is advised to avoid confrontation as i am unsure if they are hostile or not.]

'what am i supposed to do then? maybe i should hide….but where…..'

As the individuals get closer and closer i start to get nervous as there isn't anywhere for me to run or hide. So i take the best course of action.

Pretend to still be asleep.

I know it probably wasn't the best idea but atleast now i can listen to what they're talking about. As the first one approaches she looks to be older than me by 4 or 5 years with long black hair the same length as mine, ashen grey eyes with an outline of black and pointed ears. She's wearing….. a unique set of clothes...

She scrutinises me from head to toe before her eyes meet my face once again.

A minute passes.

Then another.

And another.

'WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME'

by this point i'm starting to sweat a little thinking she might realise im faking being asleep. Luckily as im reaching my limit a tall man with dark red hair wearing a red jacket with a white t-shirt and black jeans, comes from behind her and starts talking.

"Aren't you staring a bit to hard ophis. If she wakes up and see's you staring like that you'll come off as a pervert"

At first i didn't understand what he was saying until i saw what i was wearing.

Nothing.

everything was laid bare. From my head to toes everything was exposed. what's worse is that i can't even move to cover myself as im supposed to be knocked out, so if i try to move it'll blow my cover. As soon as i realise, i can feel my face start to heat up and before long my face is dyed a bright hue of pink.

'please go away, please go away, please go away'

as i was trying to get my mind off of the fact that i had nothing on i heard the man speak again but this time it was directed at me.

"We should just ask her directly then if neither of us know where she came from. child, i know you're awake there is no use pretending you're still asleep"

As soon as the words left his mouth my mind went into overdrive thinking of everything i could or should do in this situation. I tried looking for a way to escape anywhere would be fine but i was met with nothing but a vast space of nothingness. After a minute of thinking i slowly opened my eyes to look at the figures infront of me.

"Hello…."
