Golden Deity: Slime in the Multiverse [Danmachi]

Chapter 04: Danmachi world?

'Interesting, very interesting, that being how this really works, huh.'

*Boing*

I muttered surprisedly and jumped up and down like a ball. I stroked my long, non-existent white beard with my non-existent hands.

It's been five days since I arrived in this world. During that time, I didn't sit idly by... since I didn't have any. I did everything I could to be able to control my small, round body. In the end, I managed it in a few hours of effort.

It had also been five days since I got that system which, honestly, had surprised me. I mean, even reincarnating myself in a different world, being a damn golden slime was already hard to digest for my poor, limited brain.

Who would have imagined that a screen that could only be read in some fantasy novels would appear in front of me, seemingly out of nowhere? It was something disconcerting and, at the same time, exciting.

Although I had doubts about it and at first thought that there was someone who wanted to manipulate me in the process, after carefully studying all of its functions and style, it seemed that it really wouldn't put me in any situation that would require my life in exchange for anything... for now. After all, the future is uncertain.

If I wanted to keep my little life around, I had no choice but to roll... that is, walk forward while being in the present and do everything I could to ensure my future wasn't dark.

'But man, I've seriously been reincarnated into this world. Now I wonder how they were created if they were just a source of amusement before.'

With my thoughts elsewhere, I muttered to myself and remembered that this world wouldn't be so easy...

I had already become aware of my current location and surroundings. All thanks to the 'Map' option built into the mysterious system.

Of course, during this time, I already knew this place, or more specifically, this mysterious world where I had been reincarnated as a golden ball.

A medieval-style world where swords and magic were familiar in everyday life. The different races that made up this world, as well as the various dangerous monsters that inhabited every corner of the world.

As well as the so-called adventurers who would join an adventurers' guild to go in search of an adventure to become stronger and gain fame.

Although, in ancient times, even before the gods descended into this world, monsters already existed, and so did the beings who fought them without the protection of the gods behind them.

'Quite admirable. Fighting monsters at the cost of your blood and bones.

However, now adventurers could become much more potent than normal beings. Of course, all this would not be possible without the blessings of the gods welcoming their children into their own families.

Yes! Gods! Damn, I'm still amazed at this myself, and sometimes I keep thinking that this is all just a dream and that tomorrow I'll wake up in a hospital without my legs... No, that would be traumatic enough; I'm happy being a pathetic rubber ball.

'Thank the gods for granting me such a wonderful body.' I thanked them sarcastically in my mind.

The gods were beings beyond the imagination of mere mortals like me. They were different from the beings of this world; they were existences from a different dimension, a dimension beyond common sense that no one could climb to reach.

Apparently, from what I knew from my previous life about this world and the gods that inhabited it, they had decided to descend to this lower world because they had found "Heaven" or, as someone like me, a mortal called "Paradise" boring.
