Children of Tempest - That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime(Discontinued)

Chapter 1 - Veldora, the Father?

It's... so dark but yet so... wet? Was it raining? No, I would be cold if it were raining... I tried to move around but I couldn't feel my hands... I didn't even feel my toes! Where am I? Who am I? Why can't I remember anything, I can't remember the names of my family... Did I even have a family? What was I doing? Where was my body? I could move myself but it moved so weirdly... was I a snail? I can't see at all, it's dark but I could only feel around me. Snails have eyes right? I tried to move but I touched something weird like some sort of grass but before I knew it, it went inside of me and it disappeared as soon as it went into me. Suddenly my head began to hurt like crazy, it was painful and the more the plant dissolved, the more the pain continued. It wasn't physical pain but it was like my head couldn't take it... head? Do I even have a head to begin with... What was going on? What am I?

{You are a slime, a small blob-like creature that is capable of eating anything imaginable and only needs to feed on magicules to survive.}

Who was that??

{Your Unique Skill [Grand Sage].}

[Grand Sage]? Wait... Skill? Wait, am I in a game?

{No but it is remarkably similar to your concept of games. Skills are powers one obtains throughout their life or from birth. As a slime, you started out very weak with many skills in return.}

Slime? I don't understand where I am currently... Could you help me?

{Yes, the more you learn about the world, the more I am capable of assisting you on your adventure.}

Adventure?! So this is like a game!

I began to walk about to try and figure out where to go. I was blind so [Grand Sage] can't really give me any info. It's like a tutorial level! I just needed to figure out the basics and where to go first but I didn't know where exactly I was heading. I kept moving over some weird plants and they kept going inside my body. What exactly was going on? Each time I ate more, the more my head hurt.

{Question, utilize [Parallel Operation] and link with [Predator]?}

Huh what? What will that do?

{The pain will go away and I will be able to relay the information to you about the objects you ingest.}

Oh! Yes!

As soon as the link was made, [Grand Sage] was helping out so much. The pain I felt vanished in a flash, I think I was thinking too hard so it made my head hurt.

{Hipokute Herbs are a type of grass that has been mutated by excess amounts of magicules.}

Mutated? Magicules? What do they mean?

{Mutated stands for creatures or beings that have undergone a transformation in their body that results in noticeable changes. Magicules are a type of matter that exists everywhere within the world, it is particularly susceptible to one's will and may be influenced as a result.}

Oh... that's interesting! I wanna learn more!

{More information required.}

Oh... well... I want to learn more about my skills?

{Which one?}

Could you list them for me?

{Unique Skills: [Grand Sage], [Predator], [Destiny Bond]}

I have three?

{No, these are your most important skills.}

Oh, well what is [Grand Sage]? I want to learn more about you.
