And so, my reincarnation begins. At least, I think it begins. It feels like I'm in some kind of lucid dream, but I know for a fact that I did indeed die and I just finished my meeting with the Meat Bun ROB.
I still donât know what to say about it.
So right now I assume I'm in the middle of my reincarnation process. I never read what it would feel like at this point, most stories just skip to the awakening scene.
Or am I the weird one? Is the bun more powerful than we ever could have imagined? I want a meat bun nowâ¦
*WHOOM!*
All of a sudden, I get the feeling of colliding with something before I get a massive headache comparable to the time I spent waiting for No Game No Life Season 2.
Yeah, itâs that fucking big.
I get flashes, or rather, fragments of what I assume to be memories. These memories obviously donât belong to me, they belong to a rather unremarkable man.
A typical life. He graduated from college, landed a job, and lived a âblissfulâ bachelor life up to the age of 37.
Is this my future?
Wait no, a name was included in these memories⦠âSatoru Mikamiâ, huh⦠Wait⦠isnât this-
>
Mom is that you? Just kidding. But this voice, and that name. I'm almost 100% convinced nowâ¦
>
C-chotto matte! Won't that mean Iâll disappear!? I didnât sign up for this! Get me my lawyer! Preferably that Meat Bun ROB!
>
Oh, thank god! Wait, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
>
Soul type skill? Is it my [Heavens Feel]?
>
(A/N: You arenât getting my full name that easilyâ¦)
And just like that, the headache disappeared and the influx of memory fragments increased. Itâs like watching a movie, itâs totally detached from my life yet I can see everything that happened in this poor sodâs life.
I kinda feel depressed. Won't this mean that the OG Rimuru won't exist any more? I donât hate the guy, I like how he does things. I always wanted to meet him too, and once I chose this world I promised myself to at least go say hi to him.
But with this soul assimilation⦠Sigh⦠I'm sorry man⦠if itâs any comfort, Iâll at least try my best to follow in your footsteps. In my own style, of course. Oh, and I watched the anime and saw your co-worker fry your computer, so you donât have to worry about your files. Rest in peace.
As soon as I said that his secret is safe, the assimilation sped up greatly. As if all reluctance from him is gone.
This guy⦠he has his priorities straight. Gotta have some respect.
>
And I got this guy's skills too!? Aren't I just too broken at this point!? Not that I'm complaining thoughâ¦
And just like that, the lucid dream-like state I was in disappears, and I am now fully conscious.
But⦠everything is black. I canât see, I'm legally blind~â¦
And so, I try to move.
â¦
I donât think that did anything. Ok, hold on. Letâs try again.
â¦
Oh, I think I just felt something brush up against me. But man this is trippy, it feels so weird. Itâs like I'm sliding across the ground, but I'm not?
Hmm hmm⦠I donât have my arms or legs... I can't see, nor can I hear, and I definitely can't taste or smell⦠Mmm! This shape! This springiness! This aerodynamic shape! This âBoing Boingâ feeling!
I'm⦠a slime, arenât I?
It seems I didnât JUST inherit OG Rimuruâs skills, but his body too⦠Man, I feel even more guilty nowâ¦
But look on the bright side! I died eating a meat bun, I got reincarnated by a meat bun, and now I AM the meat bun! This power⦠this strength thatâs welling up from the depths of my heart⦠Itâs overflowing!
>
⦠Oh. So I wasnât because I am the bun?
Well, that was embarrassing. Wait, evolution?
>
O-oh⦠I knew thatâ¦
What? Donât look at me like that. I totally expected this.
As I was undergoing the evolution, the rampaging magicules inside me slowly begins to calm down. If the energy from before was a wild rampaging bull, right now itâs comparable to a domestic cat looking for attention.
>
Origin Slime, eh? Whatâs that?
>
Oh sweet! But the second one is a bit useless because I havenât eaten anything yet, so I donât exactly have anything I can transform intoâ¦
Well, my procrastination says Iâll deal with that later! For now, I would like to see, so that magic sense would be nice.
Ok, how did it go again? Feel the magicules outside your body and feel how it interacts with light and sound waves, I think it was. Then convert that knowledge into something understandable⦠thatâs not something I can do with my mental processing power, soâ¦
[Great Sage]! I'm counting on you!
>
And voila, I regained my sight! And my hearing too! It sounds kind of eerie though, but itâs not that bad. I've played Minecraft after all! I'm used to these sounds.
>
And the good news just keeps on coming! I can see really far now and in much better quality than I'm used to! Is this what 4K quality looks like? It's beautifulâ¦
But I'm white.
Wait, that came out wrong. I mean I'm white in colour. The OG Rimuru was blue, but I'm not⦠did something go wrong? Maybe itâs a side effect of my skills? Or maybe itâs the colour of my soul or something? My soul was white just like this after all. And thereâs this misty haze constantly around me-
Oh wait, I'm probably projecting a fuck ton of magicules right now, right? This is bad, with my infinite magicules, the whole world might be suffering under my pressure.
>
Eh? Then what the hell is this misty haze around me?
>
What!?
â¦
Nah, it looks cool, Iâll keep it for now.
