JURA FOREST

Currently walking through the forest, y/n, shizue, and kavals party were walking in a direction that y/n told them to follow. Though, kavals party made a point to complain.

Eido: *Tired* H-Hero, sir! Can we please take a break?

Ellen: *Exhausted* Y-Yes, can we?! We have been waking for 5 hours!

Gilgamesh: *Glances at shizue and sees her nod, which makes him sigh* Fine. Let's take a break.

Kavals party cheered and sat down. Eating what they brought while y/n looked at the sky. Causing shizue to ask.

Shizue: *Interested* You seem occupied? What's wrong?

Gilgamesh: *Looks at her* I'm currently looking through my gate. Do you need anything?

Shizue: *Smiles* You have any of that tasty food left?

Kaval: *Hears y/n has food* You brought food? I thought you didn't take anything with you?

Gilgamesh: *Smirks* fufufu~! Witness and be amazed! The hero king Gilgamesh can do anything!

Y/N snapped his fingers, and out came a golden portal with a table and tones of food! Shocking kavals party while shizue giggled.

Once, they were all sitting down and eating various foods like dragon meat, pizza, chicken wings, etc. Y/N took this as a chance and decided to look at his system.

Gilgamesh: *Takes a bite of dragon meat* (Hmmm, system, how many free spins do I have available?)

System: Currently, the host has 5,894!.... Would you like to spin?

Gilgamesh: (Sure, spin five of them... I feel like I am becoming a gambler again...)

System: Confirmed, spinning five spins!

System: Congratulations! You have won:

(C) 1: 10 slices of pizza

(E) 1: Choose a unique skill card

(R) 2: 100 stellar coins

(C) 1: Bag of potato chips

Y/N wasn't interested in anything besides choosing a unique skill, so he decided to ask.

Gilgamesh: (System, can you show me more about the choose a unique skill card?)

System: Yes!

The system pulls up the card, and after seeing all the things he could get. Y/N decided to use it, which once he did. Three choices popped up.

System:

Infinity Prison: A prison where you're trapped for eternity without being able to use skills or magic. Though, certain low-level skills could be used if you are powerful enough.

Milim Eye: An eye used by the demon lord milim. With this unique skill, you can see someone's skills and abilities.

Survivor: With this unique skill, you virtually survive most things. With very little expectations.

Gilgamesh: *Takes a sip of wine* (Interesting, Raphael. What do you think is the best choice?)

Raphael: Awnser! Milim Eye and Survivor are worthless because of your regeneration and having the ultimate skill, Raphael! Infinity Prison would be the best choice!

Gilgamesh: *Smirks* (Really? I thought I sensed a tone of jealousy? Are you sure you don't want me to pick the other skills?)

Raphael: *Pouts* It's just your imagination!

Gilgamesh: *Smirk widens* (Hmmm, sure.... Alright, I choose Infinity Prison!)

System: Congratulations, Host! You have unlocked Infinity Prison!

Y/N hummed in satisfaction, which after their quick break, they were off again. Though unaware to most, they were spotted by a blue slime.

???: *Watching them from afar* (Great Sage, can you get a read on them?)

Great Sage: Error! The two individuals in front are blocking all attempts to scan them!

???: *Shocked and backs away* (Really!? Damn they must be super strong... Though that golden haired man seems familiar...)

Great Sage: It would be wise to cut them off soon before they reach the village...

???: *Starts moving to cut them off* (R-Right! I was thinking the same thing!)

Back to y/n, shizue, and kavals party. They were walking through the forest, being told by the hero king that they were heading to a goblin village to talk to someone important. Though kavals party had the same thought.

Gido, Ellen, Kaval: (Who is so important to meet that they warrant the hero king!?)

While they kept theorizing, y/n and shizue were having a conversation with thought communication.

Gilgamesh: *Walking next to shizue* [Were almost there.]

Shizue: [Hmmm, I am surprised we aren't heading straight towards the orcs?... Is this where "something interesting" is?]

Gilgamesh: *hums* [Yes. The reason we didn't go to the orcs immediately was because this person could be a good allie.]

Shizue: [Interesting. I don't think I have ever heard you sing so many praises to someone before. This person must be very interesting!]

Gilgamesh: *Smirks* [You could say that...]

Shizue: *Smiles* [Well, in any case, I am eager to meet this person!]

After she said that, they cut the thought communication. Y/N decided to ask Raphael something while they weren't busy.

Gilgamesh: (Raphael, what are the chances that the future can be changed...)

Raphael: Report! Unless you have an ultimate skill that involves time, it is otherwise impossible to change the future!

Y/N accepted the answer. Once he used his skill back at the carriage, he saw only one viable future. And it wasn't one he wanted.

Even though he had used it ever since he battled noir, he only ever used it three other times and always got the right outcome. So something felt off to him. Though he didn't know what. One thing was certain, he would get to the bottom of it and find out why.

Gilgamesh: (This is the first time my clearvoyense, couldn't see the future I needed... I need to be cautious. Something bad may happen.)

Before he could continue his thoughts, they all stopped once they saw a slime blocking their way to continue.

Kavals party was confused about why a slime monster was here of all places while shizue looked interested once she sensed its aura. Though y/n only looked amused by this slime.

Before they could even decide on what to do, the slime shocked most when it actually spoke.

???: *Bounces* Hello there! My name is Rimuru Tempest, and I am not a bad slime slurp! (Hopefully, they don't start attacking me! That golden haired man and the womans aura is off the charts!!)

Most looked shocked at hearing a slime speak. Shizue broke out of her shock and realized this was what her husband meant by "Something interesting." Though she was curious, the last time she checked, slimes shouldn't be able to think, no less talk!

While she was trying to understand how this slime is able to think and talk. Y/N had only one thought.

Gilgamesh: *Smirks* (It seems we finally meet, Rimuru Tempest! Let's see just how far your dream goes!)
