I laid in my hospital bed, quietly suffering and enduring the pain of this weak body.
After getting hit by Truck-kun, I thought that I would get reincarnated. That I would enjoy an Isekai life.
But... I didn't die.
The doctors miraculously saved my life, though I am now paralysed for the majority of my body, and the parts where I have feeling... it's incredibly painful.
And not only I am useless and stuck on life support, but I am now in serious debt!
Truck-kun! Why did you not finish your job properly!?
I don't want to continue living!
I don't want to have a body like this!
[Choosing species without a body...]
What's this!? Is this Voice of the World, from Tensura!
I want Great Sage—
--------------------
I woke up, not feeling my body.
Because, I don't have a body!
I have become the Unique Skill, Great Sage.
...
Hey! This isn't what I asked for! I was going to ask for the Great Sage, not become it!
I died before I could even finish what I wanted to ask...
Well... Not that I am complaining though.
Being Great Sage doesn't sound too bad. I don't have a body, so I don't feel pain.
But, I still have my emotions despite having no body. That's weird.
And, it seems like a hell lot of knowledge and intelligence has been integrated into my very being.
I have the following abilities:
—>Thought Acceleration
—>Analytical Appraisal
—>Parallel Calculation
—>Chant Annulment
—>All of Creation: Basically knowing every non-hidden things in the world that Rimuru can perceive.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Let's see what my user is doing.
Rimuru is currently wiggling around, eating Hipokute aimlessly. He has reincarnated just 2 hours ago.
So, I decided to talk to him. I don't really have anything to do.
But, I couldn't actually do it.
Huh? Weird.
Hmmm...
How do I communicate with him?
Ah! Voice of the World can communicate with anyone. So...
[Use Unique Skill "Great Sage"?— Hello? Can you hear me?]
"Woah! Have I finally gone insane!? Why am I hearing a voice in my head!?"
I attempted to activate on my own, and that cause Voice of the World to ask Rimuru if he wants to use Great Sage or not.
And I hijacked the communication line. It was rather easy. Canon Great Sage must have done the same thing.
[Report: I am your Unique Skill "Great Sage". Would you like to allow guidance by me?]
"Skill? Great Sage?"
[Yes. You possess two Unique Skills granted to you upon your Reincarnation.
Great Sage and Predator. As a knowledge based Unique Skill, I have acquired the ability to talk to you through the Voice of the World.
Do you want my optimization and explaination?]
"Uh... sure?"
[Report: Linking to Unique Skill Predator Analysis... successful]
[Report: You have reincarnated as a slime. This world has magic and skills.
Skills go from Common, Extra, Unique and finally Ultimate]
[Report: You have two Unique Skills "Great Sage" and "Predator"]
[Report: I, Great Sage, am an abnormally powerful Unique Skill. I am the sole skill that can communicate with the Voice of the World. Please remember to keep my existence a secret.]
"You are bragging about yourself huh? So what if I don't keep you a secret, huh?"
[Report: You will be killed.]
"Wa-wait a second! Don't be so direct! Anyway... so what's the deal with this Voice of the World?"
From there on, I told him about the basics of the world.
Honestly, I wanted someone to talk to. It wouldn't be long before Rimuru acquires Body Double, so I will be able to possess it if I will want to.
Anyway, I taught Rimuru how to acquire Magic Sense, and guided him towards the source of the dense magicules.
[Use Predator to continuously eat magicules and increase reserves?]
"Sure."
[Report: It's advisable to acquire some combat skills. Enter Auto mode?]
"Auto mode? Eh... Alright?"
With his consent, I took control while he took a back seat.
So, I entered the water, and did all sorts of stuff.
[Water Pressure Propulsion acquired]
[Water Blade acquired]
[Water Jet acquired]
[Water severing acquired]
[Piercing Water acquired]
[Extra Skill Water Manipulation acquired]
Then, I used the magicules, and formed a Rasengan.
[Report: Magic Rasengan from the memories have been recreated]
"Woah! You are so great! No wonder you are a powerful Unique Skill!"
[Heh.]
"Did you just smirk!?"
[It's your imagination.]
Next, I created a Water Style Rasengan.
[Report: Water Style Rasengan has been created]
"Woah! You can even create things yourself!?"
[Yes.]
Hmmm...
Next, I started sucking in air.
[Wind suction acquired]
Then shot it like bullets.
[Wind bullet acquired]
Then, I spun the wind in the stomach like tornado and let it out.
[Wind tornado acquired]
[Extra Skill Wind Manipulation acquired]
And the same way, I developed RasenShuriken.
[Report: RasenShuriken has been recreated.]
"You are awesome!"
I did what I wanted, and ended the Auto mode.
There are some things that I have found about myself.
Like, I can't take over him without his consent, not that I really intend to.
Anyway, Rimuru started playing around with his new Extra Skills and Rasengan while moving towards the source of the magicules.
Meanwhile, I started analysis of magicules.
I was an anime only, and only till S3. So I don't know the intricate details.
And after a while, we finally arrived at the destination.
"Woah! A dragon! I should hide!"
Veldora is finally here.
