MC POV.

"Hello...hello...you can hear me right... Hey...Hello Hello HELLO HEEEELLLOOOO!!!"(Unknown voice)

Damn my heads ringing, is there a voice in my head?

"Oh good your not brain dead, that's a relief"(Unknown voice)

What's with this guys voice and brain dead? Ahhh now that I think of it I can't see or hear... Actually something seems to be wrong with my sense of touch it's like I can taste everything I'm in contact with...Maybe grass? OHH! I get it I'm not brain dead but I am brain damaged. That would explain the voice as well, actually if-

"Hey don't get lost in thought your not brain damaged or whatever but look we need to get out of here before you get killed. I know it's difficult to understand what's happening but just humour me for a bit ok?"(Unknown voice)

Did this guy just read my mind? Well makes sense given he's in my head, plus I can't talk for some reason.

"Oooookkkkk???"(Unknown voice)

Fine whatever if I'm gonna be in a hospital bed all my life might as well be entertained. Hit me.

"No your not hospit... Agh Whatever. Look your a slime in a low level area just outside the capital so if I don't teleport you to somewhere safe someone's gonna kill you for skill proficiency... And I've lost you right."(Unknown voice)

Yep

"Ok I'm the administrator system for this world you can call me Adam-"(Adam)

Hi Adam

"Yes hello... Wait no time for this. You need to sacrifice a skill so I can convert the skill energy and teleport you-"(Adam)

No way you want to take away my skill?

"You didn't even know... Ugh fuck it just say sacrifice 'all language comprehension' got it"(Adam)

That sounds like a good skill though, should I listen to this voice?

"Adam"

...Should I listen to Adam? Well being being killed by casuals is the shame of any true gamer never mind total noobs...but still...

"SAY THE LINE !!!!"

Fine fine God, Adam is pretty pushy, I hope I don't have deal with this guy for too long. I relinquish all language comprehension.

[[ acknowledged removing skill 'all language comprehension' from -anomaly- ]]

Oh great another one that's all I need. This ones female though that's a good sign. If my subconscious only gave me a man to talk to forever I'd start to feel a little insecure about my sexuality.

"Oh that was 'system' she doesn't have sentience like me though so don't worry."(Adam)

That so? Well you seem calmer now Adam

"Sure I already teleported you so your safe now....ahhhhh man that was actually my first ever conversation, I knew it was supposed to be stressful buy you did not make it easy did you?" (Adam)

Yo don't go adding new stuff. now explain. I'm just getting more and more confused...and why does it feel like the taste of stone? Not something I ever thought I would say, but I guess that means we are in a cave now...

"Yeah ok so from the start"(Adam) - deep inhale-

----------------------------------------------

Ok so I think I get it now. The system was doing calculations on the light goddesses hero summoning when it detected an anomaly, wich was me (duh), I died so my soul was brought here...as a soul... And I became a slime?.. Nope lost again

" you were put into a slime you didn't become one. Your soul was allocated a huge amount of energy for your body to pass through and get some generic hero skills but obviously some of that wasn't used up as you have no body. So rather than having you go supernova in the middle of the capital-"(Adam)

That would be bad.

"Yeah it would. Anyways to prevent that I as the admin became responsible for you and threw you into the nearest body without a soul."(Adam)

Very responsible of you.

"Shut up. Anyway that energy still had to become skills so I asked you what you wanted and you mentioned about living freely and stuff so I gave you some badass skills. I'll show you them in a sec." (Adam)

Wow that does sound good. I guess I'll be stronger than the average hero probably by quite a lot. But I'm still a weak slime and I even lost my language skill I didn't even get to choose my skills...

"Well that couldn't be helped there are restrictions to my influence in the world so I had to use your skill for energy, but that won't really be a huge loss as I gave you a skill that can cover for it to some extent. Plus I kinda scanned your memories so as to tailor the skills to your liking."(Adam)

Wow I know I should be uncomfortable about you 'scanning my memories' but I'm not... Why?

"Oh one of the skills affects your mentality, that's why regardless of your prior poor social skills and low confidence you've been able to talk so calmly to me this whole time. I mean you have been pretty chill for someone who lost most of their senses and started to hear voices." (Adam)

He makes a decent point. But there is still something wrong with me...

"Yeah well your skill hasn't really regulated yet and you bonded with a very stupid level 1 slime so that's why you've been acting a bit... Simple. I suppose is the nicest way of putting it." (Adam)

So I can get smarter and stuff as I level. Neat.

"Levelling helps but really just giving your soul,skills and body time to sink up will set you strait." (Adam)

Well speaking of skills...

"Right right. Hold on I'll load them up." (Adam)

Hey can't I just say 'status' or something

"No, your an anomaly in the system so you can't be recognised by it the same as others. That will change later though. Once you evolve you can become a unique variant species and you should be fine after that...Until then 'system' will have to narrate the whole thing to you every time you want to check it." (Adam)

Damn that will get annoying.

"I know but there are good parts about it, as an-anomaly- you get to talk to me. I can even answer some questions as long as they pertain to you in some way. Oh! There we go, make sure you listen or she will have to say it all over again." (Adam)

[[ Name -anomaly-

Species - basic nature slime lv1/ human male lv1. - fusion in progress.

Skill list- 'absorb' 'mitosis' 'mana sense' 'free mind' '1 chance' 'eyes of judgement']]

Huh. That didn't take as long as you made it out to, Adam.

"Well you are lv1 so it was more of an advanced warning it will become a real pain in the ass once your lv300 or so" (Adam)

I suppose. So if I want more details..

"Think eyes of judgement then your skill name. Oh and do '1 chance' last" (Adam)

Neat. Eyes of judgement slime skill details.

[[absorption- a basic slime skill. You passively absorb mana as sustenance and can actively absorb prey. Absorbing prey may provides xp should the prey be at or above your level. Can increase mass of body if performed on other slimes.absorption cannot absorb skills resistances or other abilities. xp absorbed will not exceed 2% of targets total experience. Absorption does not include memories.]]

[[mitosis- a basic slime skill. You can divide yourself to create two identical copies of the original minus 50% of mass. Cannot divide below original mass]]

[[mana sense- a basic slime skill. You can navigate by reding the movements of mana around you. Sensory range is proportional to 1 meter per level, max 50 metres. Note: mana sense is not perfect and opponents with stealth skill may be undetectable within its range. Note: high level being that are sensitive to mana may detect mana sense being used should they enter its range]]

I see. These are not bad but not great either. I'm never using 'mitosis' given that I would essentially die and leave 2 small clones in my place. Mana sense is good at low levels but seem to lose its usefulness after lv 50 where it will stop growing. It's also scary that enemies could sense it or not be sensed by it. Absorption is better, but it only offers a chance at receiving xp. Hey Adam does mass have other uses for a slime?

"Well a slime is made entirely of mana so their mana pool and health grow proportionally to their mass. But anyway it's really the other skills you need to look at. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry." (Adam)

Not yet I'm still thinking. Shouldn't slime have some environmental adaption skill or something? You know, so that slimes in mines become metal slimes and slimes in volcanic regions become magma slimes. That sort of thing.

"Yeah they do. But only pure slimes. You are a nature slime born in a forest. You will get nature affinity as you level though" (Adam)

Hmm? Well it could be worse I suppose. Anyway 'eyes of judgement', 'eyes of judgement'.

[[eyes of judgement- a standard Hero skill. Can provide opponents name and lv as long as they do not exceed 1.5 times your lv. Can appraise all items below legendary level. Allows for detailed examination of status and skills of user.]]

Not bad. Pretty generic though but still useful, very useful even. Now, eyes of judgement 'free mind'.

[[free mind- granted blessing. You were given this skill by 'administrator' as such skill description was recorded by the administrator system. Playing now]]

Damn he must have been really exited when he made this if he bothered doing his own description. Ugh.

[[ *adams voice* "so this skill is so you won't be some pussy MC. When I scanned your memories I read those manga a novels where the MC either feels guilty for their actions like vagabond or Vinland, or they get too scared to do anything useful *cough* shinji *cough*. As such this skill gives you the mindset to act as you please without too much guilt as long as it follows your morals. Eg. kill a baddy to save children, no guilt. Torture the children with the baddy for the lols, lots of guilt. It also improves your patience and temperament to levels that make you act like a suave badass. Oh yeah any mental de-buffs and mind controls stuff won't affect you but some slavery collars harm your physical body as well so don't get cocky.]]

Well that is awesome. The old me would be next to useless in this world. Now I can be confident in a battle and act logically while also not getting dragged down by any existential BS. Thanks Adam.

"No problem. It will be much more fun this way. Plus it really didn't take that much energy so I could put everything else into the last skill." (Adam)

Sounds exiting let's see it. Eyes of judgement '1 chance'

[[1 chance- granted blessing. You were given this skill by 'administrator'. Administrator did not leave message. Providing skill description. Once activated you may select a skill and either partially edit its contents or remove a single requirement/ limitation from it. Note: may only be used once.]]

That could be good if I use it on eyes of judgement I could ignore the lv gap or maybe guarantee xp from absorption rather than just a 'chance'. I could make mana sense undetectable or increase the range.... Wait didn't Adam say I had enough energy to go supernova why does this seem so measly then... Actually he didn't even record a message on this one...wait could it be? Activate skill 1 chance.

[[activating.......administrator insists 'lose yourself' must be played whilst decision is being made.........select skill and restriction to be removed.]]

{Look

If you had

One shot

Or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted

In one moment

Would you capture it

Or just let it slip?}

God dammit Adam. Select skill '1 chance' remove number of uses restriction.

[[acknowledged '1 chance' may be used indefinitely. Administrator secret criteria met. Name of skill will change to 'slimes live freely'.]]

Yeah it did it wooooohhhooo!!!!

"Hahahahaha I'm glad you noticed that, it was a loophole I exploited so I couldn't tell you directly but come on man lets celebrate, hey it's the chorus." (Adam)

{You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better}

Of course I joined in and we sang the whole song 6 times before it got old. Now let's see how freely this slime can live.
