Children of Tempest(Revamped)

Chapter 2 - Are You My Dad?

I didn't like having something crushing me constantly so I wanted to get out.

I wondered for a bit as to how but I didn't really know.

I tried to drink the water but more water came in to fill in what I drank.

I continued...

Over and over but nothing was working!

There was too much water! If I keep drinking it, I might become fat!

<Notice. It is an impossibility to become obese as a slime by drinking too much water as the body would eject all excess material. In addition to the Unique Skill [Predator], it would likely take weeks before it is filled.>

Ok then...

Wait...

WEEKS?!?

So then this plan was a bust!

It would take too long to drink all the water!

What to do... what to do... er...

I tried to think up a plan but I couldn't come up with anything.

I needed a way to get out of here but I didn't know what to do!

... um... Great Sage... any... ideas?

<Answer. It is likely possible to utilize a form of hydraulic propulsion to free oneself from the lake.>

Hi.. draw... what now?

<Hydraulic propulsion is a process in which water pressure is utilized as a way to create movement within many different mechanisms.>

Um?...

<Notice. Imagine a water gun and how it shoots water.>

Let's see... I squeeze the trigger at the bottom and water shoots out.

<Water guns introduces pressure into the system causing the forceful ejection of water. In the case of water guns, the pressure introduced is air. It is possible to create a similar phenomena utilizing water.>

Ok... so I just need to eject water?

I wondered for a bit how to do that. I began drinking more water so I had enough before finally trying to figure out how to eject it all.

I wondered if it was like vomiting...

I finally figured it out and began to release a little bit but I didn't really move.

<Notice. More forceful ejection of water is required.>

Forceful?

Like this?---

WOAH!!!

WEEEE!!!!!!

I launched out a bunch of water at once and before long I was flowing straight through the lake. It didn't seem like I put enough force into it though since I didn't fly fast enough through the lake to escape it.

I need more pressure!

I already had a lot of water in my stomach but I wanted to be sure I had enough so I began absorbing more and more until finally I released it all in one blast and kept shooting it like a water gun!

</Confirmed. Skill [Hydraulic Propulsion]... successfully acquired./>

I unlocked something!

More importantly, it was fun!

I hadn't felt this excited for something since I became a slime!

This was really fun! It felt like swimming but I didn't have to paddle!
