[If Souta is too calm in this chapter because he has no body and has become slime][you know emotion is physical reaction]
Souta's POV
It's been about 1 day in this endless void until I accept that I'm dead. I tried to move again and I tried so m4any times but it seems impossible to move in this place and I don't seem to have a body. This place has no air and is pitch black. It seems impossible for any light to exist.
This place is so boring, I can't move and I can't see because I have no body. I'm worried about the taxi's driver. If I remember correctly, he managed to leave the car before the explosion.
Well, now i have to think about what to do with myrself. I don't want to stay here forever. But how can I get out of here, I have no body and can't move or see. Well, if I could somehow see and hear myself in this darkness with a body, this place is empty and there is nothing, so there is no air here, so I can't breathe.
Also, since I don't have a body, I'm apparently a ghost, but since I came here, a strange energy has joined my spirit, but even if it's very small, I've started to feel this void a little bit since then.
If I could not feel this void in some way, I would probably be crazy. But it's so boring here[ sigh ]
And I started to feel a few things floating next to me.
Even these things can't seem to move. Can't move like me but a little different and the shape of these things seems to be flat?. These things seem to relate to me. Also, this strange energy here is very dense and it takes a long time to absorb a little bit, but after it is absorbed a little bit, the range of the area that i can feel has increased a little.
I call this strange energy the void. Every time this void joins me, I feel something constantly changing in me, but not for the worse, but for the better. My guess is that every time the void energy comes into contact with me, my sensation increases. But I'm here for a day and I'm feeling close to 0.5 mater range.
Souta:( I need to get out of here somehow-)
Suddenly, I began to fall very, very fast from this void. I don't know how I'm falling, but somehow I'm falling.
The fall comes without warning. One moment I'm floating, the next I'm plummeting through the void, a weightless descent that feels endless.
——————
After falling for so long, it finally stopped falling. And it looks like I've got a body. Also, there is a balloon in the middle of this body, it seems strange. It feels like being born again. What is this slimy and strange liquid? And I think I'm a slime, slimy kind of slime.
I'm alive again, even though I'm slime. I have no choice but to adapt to it [ sigh ].
I tried to take my first step after entering this body, of course I'm slime and I don't have legs so I can't walk. After several attempts to move, did it finally move or did it roll over?.
My body is slime, so I could only roll, I don't seem to have the strength to jump. I'm just a very, very weak slime. And i sense my body's mid have one core. when I tried to release the sphere in my body, I felt terrible pain. This core is my weakness and most importantly, it seems to store my soul.
If the core is destroyed or damaged, my soul will also be destroyed or damaged. I dread to think if the core is completely destroyed.
And every time I move, I can feel my body getting bigger and bigger, even though it's slowly going down to the ground below me. And I sense even 0.5 meters much better than before.
Before, I could only sense the shape, but now I like a very subtle ray, light, some strange energy. Like i have eyes but in 0.5 meters.
These flat things were like game's status. Just like a game on this one:
{User New skill gained Devourer
Tier:D++
Skill type: void
Exp: 1000/20
Devourer absorbs items, mana, and magics touched by the skill owner and transforms them into the skill owner's power and mana. If Mana is full, increase the user's mana capacity.
Disadvantages: This skill has no effect on spirits or more powerful beings, If this skill is used on something stronger than itself, its absorption capacity is greatly reduced.}
I was very surprised after reading this in my head. On top of that, there are 4 more such things, which means that I have 5 such powerful abilities. Suddenly, the board I had been reading disappeared and new information flooded my mind. All these things came to my mind about how to use this skill only a few times, but this skill's tier is strong even with D++
Exp is the same as level up in the game. Exp can be obtained by using skill or killing any living thing using skill. This skill increases exp even when i not using it.
If the Devourer has 1000 exp, level up the Devourer and the Devourer will have new abilities and maybe become tier C.
Also, the type of this skill is void, it seems that this skill was obtained when I was floating in this void after my death. So, when this skill was in the void, it must have absorbed the void.
And to activate this skill, activate it only by thinking or saying it. When it is not activated, this skill just increases the corrosiveness of my slime body and eats the things I touch.
I eagerly read the next state board:
{User new special slime skill gained: Evolution
Tier: C
Type: special race(slime) skill
Exp: 10000/0
Evolution acquires the properties of the items absorbed by the skill holder. For example: if a skill user absorbs a certain amount of stone using this skill, the user stone can become a new species based on it, for example skill user absorbed enough stone skill user become stone slime(only slime race).
Disadvantages: can't Evolution nothing, A certain amount of things are necessary for evolution.}
