'Huh? I thought I died... Did I pull through? I can't see or hear anything... Why is it so quiet?' I thought to myself as I move and jiggle lightly. 'Woah! What just happened? Am I something different?' I move around a little and come to terms that I'm... a slime?!

 a slime?!

'Well... I guess this is alright...' I thought as I move some more before something enters my gelatinous body and starts to dissolve. 'Woah! What was that? A plant? I can't see or feel anything.

After what seems like days or even a week, I've been eating the plants in the cave, just doing this because I'm bored to all hell. That's when I started wondering, 'Hmm... I wonder where the plants go after the dissolve.'

???: "Answer: It is stored in the stomach of the user of the Unique skill: 'Devour'."

Me: 'Holy crap!! Someone replied!! Uh, who are you?'

Oracle: "Answer: It is the effect of the Unique skill: 'Divine Oracle.' Your powers have stabilized, making it possible for me to respond promptly."

Me: 'Wow! That's a amazing, but what's a "skill," Oracle?'

Oracle: "Answer: A skill is an ability that, on rare occasions, can be acquired in recognition of some form of personal growth."

I start to get excited as I slipped and fell into a pit of what feels like bones. That... made me freak out. I start screaming in my head, 'Am I seriously gonna die of starvation?!'

Oracle: "Answer: Slimes don't have appetites."

'Really? Then how am I supposed to get out of here? Think, slime. Think,' I say to myself as I get an idea. I start sucking in a ton of air and use that air to propel myself up and out of the pit, not knowing that I also ate a human skull in the process. Although, it wasn't like a jetpack kind of flight, but more like a blown-up balloon that a kid lets go to hear the funny fart sound.

Oracle: "Notice. Extra skill: Aerial Propulsion, acquired."

I soon land onto something, after bumping/crashing into multiple things first, and I start to dissolve it when I hear a booming, female voice yell through our thoughts, 'What are you doing?! Stop that!!'

I got scared as I jump back a little. 'Uh, s-sorry, lady! I didn't know what I was eating...!'

???: 'You don't know what treasure and gold looks like?! And who are you calling "lady" like I'm an old lady?! I'll have you know that I'm only 942 years old!'

Me: 'Uh, from where I'm from, that'd make you very, very old.'

???: 'HOW DARE YOU!!! FIRST YOU STEAL AND EAT MY GOLD, NOW YOU INSULT MY AGE AND BEAUTY!! i SHOULD JUST DESTROY YOU AND TURN YOU INTO STONE!!'
