Chapter 19 Summon
So I talked to [Great Sage] about my theory.
<<Report. Using Unique Skill [Penetration] to break through the world barrier is impossible unless drastic actions are taken.>>
Well pooh. What are those drastic actions, by the way?
<<There are 2 separate actions you could take to achieve the desired result. The first option is to wait until the Unique Skill [Penetration] evolves into an Ultimate Skill. The second option is to sacrifice the Unique Skill [Penetration]>>
Woah woah woah why do I have to sacrifice [Penetration]!? I can do so much with this. There are so many women I can pleasu- *Cough!*
Ignore that.
<<Sacrificing the Unique Skill [Penetration] will allow it to operate above its intended rank for a short time. As a result, Unique Skill [Penetration] will be lost.>>
(A/N: As an aside, something like this DID happen in canon, so I'm not making this shit up. Granted, I may be warping it a bit, but otherwise, it's lore friendly.
Maybe.)
Damn. I don't wanna wait until it evolves into an ultimate skill, who knows how long that will take… could I forcibly evolve it with my runes?
<<It is not recommended.>>
Why? I already evolved myself once into an origin slime.
<<Reminder. Ultimate Skill [Illya, Heaven's Feel] fuses the user's physical body with their soul. This naturally pushes the user into a higher existence, and as a consequence, you evolved. Forcibly evolving a skill or race without such support will lead to detrimental effects.>>
… Yo why you gotta make so much sense… Hmm, so I don't wanna wait for however fucking long it would take to evolve my skill naturally… furthermore I DID get it as a freebie and it's not like this is the only unique I'll get in my life…
Fuck it. I'll do it. Assuming I sacrifice [Penetration] to punch a hole through the barrier, what'll happen then?
<<The barrier will not recover until a month later. You can summon and unsummon as you wish until then.>>
Damn, so it's like having unlimited gacha rolls!? Holy shit, what is this OPness!? Gacha without gacha hell!? SO many otakus out there would be SO jealous of me right now!
And so, without further ado, I rush into the cave where I was born from, now called the Sealed Cave. The goblins wanted to make it some sort of holy ground because I told them I was born in there but I immediately shut it down. Stop worshipping me, start worshipping meat buns, get your priorities right.
Jeez.
On the way there, [Great Sage] gives me more information about summoning in general that I forgot. To summon someone to this world, you have to put in a few conditions. The stricter the conditions, the longer the ritual. Furthermore, there's barely even a 1% chance of success.
Because of this, the countries in this world got so impatient, they decided to cut some of the conditions for summoning, and so they can summon much more often. However, children have a chance to be summoned instead. As a result… *Sigh*.
Honestly, why is it so hard to wait for a while? Why are you so impatient?
<<…>>
Hmm? I thought [Great Sage] wanted to say something. Must be my imagination.
Moving on. It isn't confirmed, but generally how it's done is that most of the time spent on the ritual is gathering the energy needed to punch through the "wall". The rest is spent on locating an individual who matches the conditions. As soon as someone is found, the energy gathered is released and, for a split second, a hole is formed and the individual gets fuckin yoinked. The wall recovers immediately after.
Well, since I'm sacrificing my [Penetration] skill and with the support of my Crest of Space, the hole won't regenerate instantly and will be left for an entire month, all for my own private usage.
No, no one else will be able to use it and No, no void creatures will come crawling out of it either.
Anyway! I find myself deep in the cave. I'm all hyped up and ready to summon when I suddenly get hit by a thought.
… Who should I summon?
Should I summon a companion? A waifu? A servant? All of them at once? A waifu maid?
…
YES.
Ok. I want to summon someone I can spend the rest of my life with. Furthermore, I want them to have potential as a maid.
[Rune Master]!
I get the rune sequence, scribble it out on the floor faster than my dad left me, and pump my magicules into it. It took the form of a giant magic circle and I even added a 5 pointed star in the middle just for the aesthetics.
My summon circle is a bit different. I don't want to abduct anyone against their will so I made it so it will only summon their "astral body" at first. The rune, or rather the magic circle will contain it so they don't disperse and fucking die. Once they agree to the summoning, it will bring their body over as well and give them the Unique Skills that all summoned beings get.
Anyway, I digress. The runes in the magic circle light up. The magicules are gathering together and working to complete my goal. It's at this moment I step in.
[Great Sage], I'm counting on you to control this.
<<Affirmative.>>
[Penetration]!
*WHOOM!*
The magicules within me surge so much it becomes visible as an aura around me. I drew down some runes to contain all this energy around me so the goblins and wolves outside won't notice. Honestly, if I had a human body I would look so fucking cool right now.
But alas, I am but a smol slime boi.
But white.
The magicules burst and rip a hole through space, all according to [Great Sage]'s calculation.
<<Report. Unique Skill [Penetration] has been lost.>>
Fuckin rip.
In front of me is a giant crack in space over 15 meters long in the air above me. Normally something like this shouldn't be visible as it would disappear instantly, but since my [Penetration] made this hole last for a whole month, it's visible to me.
Falling from the crack is a body. It's a little hazy and vague since it's just an astral body, but their features are easily discernable.
It's a girl.

(A/N: I'm joking.)
She has shoulder-length tea-coloured hair with eyes of the same colour. Her body is that of a young girl. She doesn't have an overly bountiful chest or ass, but rather, they're quite petite. She has the right curves though, and they're noticeable, so it's not like she's completely hopeless in the body department.
Furthermore her legs…
J e s u s C h r i s t. I want them to-
*Cough!*
(A/N: You want them to what?)
And finally, the part that stole my breath away. Her face.
She is…
Rimuru- "Beautiful…"
*Bites lip*
She was looking all around with a wary expression when she heard me as my voice leaked out. She notices me, her face reddens, and she starts to squirm. Is she embarrassed that I called her beautiful? She's so cute…
???- "Do…"
She tries to say something. "Don't say that, it's so embarrassing"? Is that what she's trying to say?
???- "Don't look at meeeee!"
And like that, electricity jumps off her and hits me dead centre on my body.
Ow.
Oh, I may have forgotten to mention. She's naked.
