Rimuru, Princess of the Storms.

Birth of a Unique Slime.

Ch 1, S 1.

? POV :

I was aware.

Aware of what? I dont know.

Everything before was pure nothingness.

Void and total nothingness.

What changed?

Wondering this, I got out of something and rolled onto a solid surface. Those were the words which were supplied in my new memory.

What is a memory? I cannot comprehend it either, or at least not yet.

Moving on after rolling away from the wet? patch I formed out off, I rolled across a surface towards wherever my rudimentary fonctions allowed me to.

It was odd to say the least. Solid? Wet? Memory? All of those concepts were new to me, it didn't exist in the nothingness that was my reality before. Well, I'm sure the meaning will eventually get into my memory.

Suddenly something compelled my attention, something familiar yet unknown which felt irresistibly close yet so far and all around me.

Using again my rudimentary fonctions, I rolled towards where that irresistible pull supposedly was.

"!"

I suddenly accelerated, again a new word supplied into me by my memo- no, mind? Mind, not memory. That wasn't intentional. What was the cause of this change? I don't understand! How can I stop? Hello?! I need help!

{Request Received. Acquisition of Unique skill [Great Sage]... successful.}

An unknown entity just interacted with me. What was that?!

{Answer : That was the Voice Of The World.}

Voice Of The World? And what are you?

{Answer : I am your Unique skill, [Great Sage].}

Oh. And you're not the same? You have the same familiarity.

{Answer : I use the same base voice of the Voice Of The World. We are not the same.}

Voice?

{Answer : A voice is how I am able to interact with the User, which is you. It can also be a way for different entities to interact with each other through vocal cords and vibrations in the air.}

So many new words... I will dwell on those meanings later, why can't I stop rolling?

{Answer : The ground you are currently on isn't perfectly horizontal which is why you are accelerating.}

Oh, thank you.

After figuring out that I could simply use whatever I was made of to slow myself down to a stop, I decided to once again interact with whatever this 'voice' was. I think the Voice Of The World called it [Great Sage]?

{Answer : Yes. I am your Unique skill, [Great Sage].}

Unique skill? What is that?

{Answer : Skills are abilities that each unit possesses. An Unique skill is a rare type of skill.}

What is a type?

{Answer : In this context, the type is like a rarity of the skill. There exist a few types of skills, such as : Commun Skills, Extra skills, Intrinsic skills, Resist skills and Unique skills. Would you like a detailed definition of each? <YES/NO>}

Yes.

{Answer :
-Commun skills are the most basic level of skills. They are typically limited to only a single effect without much flexibility, making them easy to master in exchange for a lack of versatility.
-Extra skills are a step above common skills in terms of power and versatility. They are the highest level of skill that can be obtained through effort and come in a wide variety of different powers.
-Intrinsic skills are skills inherent to the physiology of the user, typically obtained from birth or through evolution. These skills can be broadly split into three different categories, these being species-specific intrinsic skills, bloodline-specific intrinsic skills, and individual-specific intrinsic skills.
-Resist skills is a type of skill that is generally passive and enables the user to withstand certain phenomena, both magical and physical. Resist skills are separated into two distinct levels: resistances, and nullifications. The former grants the user a high tolerance while the latter outright negates certain phenomena.
-Unique skills are special skills, typically only born from the strong emotions and desires of equally strong beings. Each one is unique to the user, acting as a reflection of their mind. Unlike common and extra skills, they can change as the user grows and matures.}

O-oh, that's a lot. Do I possess any of these beside [Great Sage]?

{Answer : Yes. Would you like a detailed definition of each? <YES/NO>}

Erm, I do not think I will understand any of these anyway, can you tell me which can be useful to find where I am going? I want to find what I am searching for.

{Answer : Certainly. The user can use [Magic sense] to gain a better visual of the surrounding area.}

Magic sense? Mh, how do I-

Suddenly, I could feel many things around me, along with the strange yet familiar energy I wanted to reach. It was everywhere.

{Answer : The word the User is searching for is 'Magicules'.}

Magicules, got it. I started to crawl with my gelatinous body towards some sort of moving entity which seemed full of those familiar magicules.

I managed to thankfully reach it without it moving away from me and-

Huh? Its gone?

{Answer : The user unconsciously activated [Absorb and Dissolve] to assimilate the component name Hypokute Herb into the User's [Stomach].}

Why did I do that?

{Answer : The User's body recognised the same components it was composed of and unconsciously assimilated it to upgrade its magicule reserves.}

Huh, neat. If it's helpful then I have no reason to go against it.

So I continued to absorb as much herb as I could and stored it into my [Stomach] until I bumped into another solid entity which didn't move.

[Great Sage], what is that and is it composed of magicules as well?

{Answer : It's a rock called 'Magirock' and yes it is composed of magicules as well.}

Into my [Stomach] it goes then! I used [Absorb and Dissolve] into the rock and gobbled it as well and continued my exploration into this environnement I was born in for an unknown amount of time until I found my first problem.

Liquid.

That was what my mind supplied to me as I fell into it like a rock because I wasn't focused on where I was going.

Thankfully it doesn't seem to do much to me and my gelatinous body but the problem is how am I going to get out of this immense liquide zone.

Hey [Great Sage], do you have an idea?

{Answer : The User can absorb the water and reject it.}

So this liquid is named 'water', got it. I did exactly what [Great Sage] suggested and the results were exactly what I wanted. I absorbe a good amount of water and then spewed it out which made the after effect of launching me at top speed through the water and out of it.

{Notice : Common skill [Water propulsion] acquired.}

Wow, I am going FAST! At this rate I'm going to rejoin this pull in no time!
