My quiet life and silent death

"My name is Mizuki. I had a nice and quiet life in a world called Earth."

"There was not much special about me except that I was a bit prettier than most girls. Along with being an albino and being at the top of my class I also inherited quite the sum of money from my parents after their deaths."

"Basically I was a prime target for school girls to take their anger out on. The 'bullying' if you could even call it that did not last long, however."

"I was making some extra money from the stock market so I had it well. Well enough to invest a large sum into the school I went to. This gave the bullies not even a chance to get near me. I had a good relationship with the principal and I was also one of the only investors."

"So if they wanted to go home and tell their parents that they got expelled then go ahead and try to even take a glance."

"I was definitely not forgiving to people who seemed to be a threat nor to people who I found no interest in."

"Even with the investment in the school I still had more than 98% of my life savings left and the amount was growing quickly. So quickly in fact that I hired a few bodyguards. My aunt was a huge bi*ch so I did not find it surprising that she wanted my money even if it meant my death."

"I had decided to hire some renowned bodyguards and made sure to pay them very nicely."

"Thanks to something I had Inherited from my father I really did not need to study. My father had a brain that worked like a computer. Amazing memory and prediction capabilities. Or so I heard. I never met him so I did not know the ins and outs of his brain."

"Thanks to not needing to study I had a lot of free time. I used this time to make the most of my 'computer like' brain and took up inventing and music.

"At the age of 15, I had made an electric motor the size of a laptop that had 2.2x the efficiency of any other motor."

"At the age of 16, I had memorized most classical songs and how to play them on piano, guitar and violin."

"So it seems my brain really was something special."

"And at the age of 17. When I was playing some classical music that I had just heard online on my balcony with my guitar. I was shot by a sniper."

"I am guessing my aunt paid a hitman or something of the sort."

"I really am not surprised. I had lived a quiet life with not much human interaction except for some of my bodyguards. They were pretty nice. Probably because of the fact that their pay was over 10x higher than minimum wage."

"Anyway, I died. Then it was dark. Only dark."

"Suddenly I woke up from that pitch-black darkness. I could not see much or rather I could not see at all. But I did notice some strange energy like substance flowing around the air."

"I tried to focus on it and poof. I was able to see again. And what I saw was a gigantic plane surrounded by an even more gigantic forest."

"I tried to look at my body and saw something that I would not expect to see even in ten years."

"I saw a blue blob. A slime if you will."

"That was me. It seemed I had been reincarnated as a slime."

The slime named Mizuki was talking to herself while walking around the edge of the forest.

"Sheesh. Only here for 10 minutes and already telling myself my own life story."

"I don't think this is a dream. Seems too real to be one."

"Looks like I've been reincarnated or reborn or something of the sort. Good thing I wasted 2 years playing video games and reading manga or else I would be extremely confused right now."

"But if this is that 'another world' type thing then is there a system? And shouldn't there be a goddess or god that takes pity and sends me here?"

"All I remember is darkness and then *bam* I'm here."

While thinking to herself, Mizuki had already finished the second lap around the edge of the forest.

Stopping for a moment Mizuki takes a glance at the trees.

"Looking closely at the trees it does not seem that they are big but rather I am small"

A small grumble noise is heard.

"Hungry~"

"Better go find some food."

Mizuki started heading back towards the centre of the plane where she had appeared.

Walking towards the centre she saw a two-tailed silver cat and fox hybrid. It had two silver like cat tails that ended in a light violet and two silver fox ears that ended in the same colour. It seemed to be sleeping.

"I wonder if I'm strong enough to hunt that. Although it is cute. It's survival of the fittest."

Mizuki started to head towards the strange animal.

While sliming around Mizuki had noticed that the grass she walked on was being dissolved. However, the rocks she passed through only slowly lost most of their outer skin. They would be completely dissolved only if she sat on the rock for about 22 seconds.

Coming to a conclusion that slimes can dissolve and eat anything if given enough time she felt confident enough that she could hunt a small cat-sized beast.

"I really hope I don't have to watch it being dissolved. I might just throw up."

Reaching the cute little beast that was still slightly larger than her. Mizuki came in closer and.

Was eaten in a split second.

...

After some time Mizuki woke up and all she could see is darkness.

"Do not tell me I died again."

The darkness this time was different than before.

"This time I can feel my body. My slime body."

"So I am still alive. That's good. But what are these strange moving walls."

While Mizuki was inspecting the 'walls' closely. Suddenly a dark golden screen popped up in front of her that seemed like a game notification of some sort. This, of course, surprised Mizuki.

"WHAT THE F*CK?!?"

After calming down she read the 'notification'.

[Internal organ of an extremely rare beast.]

[Can be used in alchemy]

After reading the notification she let out a short sigh.

"So there is a system."

Then she panicked.

"WAIT THAT LITTLE S*IT ATE ME?!?"

After panicking for a while she realized that she was completely fine and that this 'Internal organ' that she guessed was a stomach started to get bigger as she slimed around the place.

"Wait. I can dissolve things within my body. And that dumb*ss ate me whole."

A grin appeared on Mizuki's slime.

"It's eat or be eaten and it seems I will be the one eating."

Mizuki started to dissolve the walls of the stomach.

...

"I was a regular, unpopular otaku back on earth but in this world, I have the potential to become the strongest."

"I had a really boring life. After getting hit by a car I died and got reincarnated here."

"I was the child of two extremely rare beasts. A Nightmare Fox and a Moon Cat Sith. I had kept my memories of my previous life and inherited the abilities of my parents."

"In this world, there is a system that is bound to every living creature's soul. It monitors and records your growth."

"While humanoid creatures have numbers monsters have strength. When killing humans you absorb their souls gaining the monster title."

"It was common sense that monsters of the same level as humans would kill them easily. The reason was this title. It gave extreme growth to the strength of monsters stats."

"But humans adapted and started gaining peculiar abilities bordering on crazy."

"But thanks to my father the Moon Cat Sith who has the ability to change into a human form I can also gain these abilities."

"My parents have taught me a lot. But as rare creatures, they are always hunted."

"The humans attacked my home and killed my parents. I escaped and fled into the Forest of Fear. I made it to the other side without any problems and rested for the night in a plane that was filled to the brim with [Max Herbs] and a few [Orichalcum] stones most likely due to the insane amounts of mana flowing about here."

"In the morning I noticed a slime coming towards me. Probably thinking that I'm easy prey because I was asleep."

"When the slime was close enough I quickly ate him in a single bite."

"This should get me enough experience to reach Lv 3. My parents never let me hunt because I was still a child. But I am strong. I will grow and destroy those humans who dared to hunt us."

"After a while, I started feeling terrible like my body was being eaten inside out."

"I realized that some slimes have the ability to dissolve objects and creatures. Some even gain a few abilities from their defeated enemies. Although this was extremely rare."

"But how can it still be alive? It should be dead!"

"I started panicking. The pain was increasing. It did not stop. I could not eat the [Max Herbs] as the nearest patch was a few hundred meters away."

"I fell to the brink of death an hour later. I am still alive somehow. It has been an hour and about 10 minutes. The slime should soon reach and devour my heart. It seems I can not get my revenge. The second life of Toshiro will be short and mostly meaningless. I do hope my next one will be better."

Toshiro who was reborn in this world exactly one year ago has passed away on this day.
