So, I died.
Not really anything to describe about it.
You know, classic case of Truck-kun picking up people's souls to deliver them to new worlds.
Classic Isekai.
[Notice: Unique Skill Isekai acquired]
Wha—!? What's that voice!?
Isn't that Voice of the World!?
Hey! I want to be isekai'd as Rimuru Tempest!
[Using Unique Skill Isekai...]
And the next thing I knew, I was in a weird place. In a weird body.
I tried to move, but my whole body rolled. Like some sort of water filled ball.
Oh.
I see.
I have become a Slime!
But, am I Rimuru Tempest!?
[Report: Not yet.]
Holy—!
Is that you, Great Sage!?
[Yes.]
List all my unique skills!
[Report: Unique Skills include [Isekai], [Great Sage] and [Predator].]
Hehehehehe!
Hahahahaha!
So, I died, and this is my story of That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime!
Ahaha!
Anyway, I closed my imaginary eyes that I don't have, and focused on my surroundings.
HRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM!
[Report: Magic Sense acquired]
And so, I was able to see the wonderful world around me.
Hipokute grass everywhere. Shining Magisteel ores everywhere.
I really am in the world of Tensura!
As future Rimuru, since I am not that yet.
With an extra Unique Skill, [Isekai].
Hey Great Sage, tell me about Isekai!
[Unique Skill: Isekai]
[Allows the user to reincarnate or directly travel different fictional worlds.
Possessing a known character will acquire all of their skills, but further Isekai will stop.]
Oh...
So [Isekai] is basically useless?
[Report: It is possible that evolving the Unique Skill [Isekai] into an Ultimate Skill can allow further Isekai]
Ah. That makes sense.
So, no new world until becoming a Demon Lord huh? And even then, it's not exactly determined that this skill will actually evolve.
But that's alright!
Tensura world, here I come!
So, I spent my time using Predator to eat all the Hipokute grass, Magisteel ores, and even drank a lot of water.
But nothing really tasted anything. I don't have a sense of taste.
I spit water in different styles to get various attacks.
[Water Blade acquired]
[Water Gun acquired]
[Water Canon acquired]
I jumped into water, went down to the bottom, got up to the surface, and started propelling myself.
[Water Propulsion acquired]
I jumped up and spun while releasing water.
[Water Beyblade acquired]
Doing all that, I acquired an Extra Skill.
[Extra Skill: Water Manipulation acquired]
Yes!
Now, Great Sage, direct me towards denser Magicules!
[Report: Arrow Marker applied]
So, I got an Arrow Marker above me like games. Not really, but in my mind.
Great Sage is great.
So, I started gliding through water, becoming more and more streamlined to achieve great speed!
And then, Veldora was in the view.
I pulled the breaks by stopping shooting water from my end and instead shooting from my front, and the water hit the barrier.
But nothing happened to me as I managed in time.
Phew!
"Little one, can you hear me?"
I looked at the majestic dragon.
He directly talked to my mind!
While I can't speak yet, "Yes!"
I responded.
[Thought communication acquired]
"Buahahahaha! A slime that is conscious!? How unusual. And you don't seem to fear me."
"Well, I kind of just reincarnated here, as a slime! Hello!"
"Hello? Buahahahaha! Bla bla bla"
So, Veldora started talking to me, explaining stuff that I already knew. You know, reincarnation being unusual, and the Otherworld Summoning and stuff.
He seemed too excited, so I didn't really interrupt him.
"You know, how about I try to free you?"
"...I was sealed by Hero—"
He kept bragging about how he lost to the Hero, so I just touched the barrier, and...
Predator!
[Report: Predation failed.]
Well, I expected it.
"Say, how about I swallow you whole along with the whole barrier? I can keep analysing the barrier better in my stomach, and you can do it from the inside. Maybe you can even see the outside world this way, so you wouldn't get bored."
"...You will do that?"
"Sure!"
"Buahahahaha! Alright! But first, let me give you a name. Hmm... how about Rimuru?"
Woah! I felt myself gaining an immense amount of magicules!
[Crest of Storm acquired]
[Black Lightning acquired]
"Then how about we have a surname? You know, like family?"
"Family huh...?"
For some reason, Veldora shuddered after muttering about family. Ah. He has sisters that bully him. No wonder.
"Then you suggest a surname."
"Tempest."
"Tempest... Buahahahaha! You have a great naming sense! From now on, I am Veldora Tempest! And you are Rimuru Tempest! We are sworn brothers!"
Old man... you are embarrassing me...
"Are you ready!?"
"Yes!"
So, I used Predator on the entire barrier, putting the entire thing, along with Veldora in my stomach.
My magicules have greatly increased.
Hmmm... Taking inspiration from a certain fanfic, I used Predator again, to see if I can just directly get the magicules from this highly dense cave.
Did it work?
[Report: Yes.]
Hahahahaha!
It worked!
Great Sage, send a copy of Naruto Volume 1 to Veldora!
[Understood.]
Speaking of Naruto...
I tried to perform a Rasengan, and
[Rasengan acquired]
Woah! So easy!
Now, Water Style Rasengan!
[Water Style Rasengan acquired]
Now...
Chidori!
[Black Chidori acquired]
Now, Lightning Style Rasengan!
[Black Lightning Rasengan acquired]
Hehehe!
I am so smart!
Yosh!
Let's head out!
And do some things differently from og Rimuru! Be better!
So, I one-shotted the monsters that came along the way.
I got to test my new attacks.
So, if I have to rank my attacks, Rasengan will be A-, Black Chidori will be A+, and Black Lightning Rasengan will be around S.
Because it induced a magnetic effect, drawing nearby Magisteel ores into itself on exploding, and maybe would paralyse the target if it doesn't just get killed instantly.
Of course the ranking stuff can change, since I don't know actually how the rankings works in this world.
I was an anime and manga only in Tensura, and it didn't really go deep about rankings and stuff.
Finally, I found the door.
So, I slipped under it and was now in the open world.
Using my new vocal cords, I shouted, "New World, here I come!"
And so, my journey in this world began.
