Satoru woke up from what felt like the weirdest dream ever. Within his head, there existed memories that were not his.
'No, these are my memories, but they are not from my previous life as Mikami Satoru,' he thought.
The concept of individuality became a blur when the reincarnation process was involved. But overall, it was the soul and the memories stored within it that defined a person.
He had been reincarnated into this world with memories of a man named Mikami Satoru and the Star King Dragon at the same time, so his individuality was questionable.
'If there is anything I've learned from my previous lives, that would be how dangerous swords and knives are.'
He took note of the fact that he had been killed by sharp objects in his both lives.
'I should be more careful around them this time... noted.'
But enough about that, he had to be mindful of his surroundings now that he had been reincarnated.
'Where am I? Why is it so dark? I can't see anything!'
He couldn't see nor move. In fact, it didn't feel like he had any body parts to control at all. Yet it wasn't uncomfortable, as if those were the intended functions of this body.
'I'm not a dragon nor human. What kind of species I reincarnated into to not have any basic organs?'
«Notice. Master is a subspecies of the 'True Dragon' race known as the 'Ultimate Slime'.»
'That voice!'
He became more cautious. After everything that he had gone through. He didn't trust it, especially when it had a voice that reminded him of the Voice of the World.
«Notice. I am the Unique Skill 'Great Sage'. Despite borrowing its voice to communicate, I have no association with the Voice of the World. Nice to meet you, Master.»
'Nice to meet you, too...?'
He replied back politely but still didn't trust her enough to drop his guard down. Because of her tone, he thought that she probably held him in high regard. However, that too might be a trap.
'Look, we can stick together if you respect some ground rules. First, don't put a bounty on me.'
«Notice. Understood.»
'Don't you dare betray me, trick me, or backstab me by any means. I'm quite serious with this one! I won't tolerate that kind of behavior again!'
«Notice. Understood.»
It was just a spoken oath, but it helped a lot mentally.
'Now, do you know where we are, Great Sage?'
«Notice. More information is required. I apologize.»
'Therefore, I'm unable to see nor move while being stranded in an unknown place. It couldn't possibly get worse than this.'
Living a life like that sounded so complicated. 'Maybe life will be easier if I die and reincarnate again.'
«...»
'That's a joke.'
He had to confirm because Great Sage seemed concerned. However, she wouldn't take a chance. After an hour of silence, she returned with a gift.
«The acquisition of the Extra Skill 'Magic Perception'... Successful.»
Suddenly, the world of darkness he was born into started to brighten. He could see again—No, he could see things clearer, better than before.
