Not Avaliable Name Pov:
Seconds,Minutes,Hours,DAYS. I am not sure how long I've been stuck in this unknown void of an afterlife. I didn't bother trying to keep track of how long since I don't have the brains in multiple ways to count for long periods of time like Senko. I'm not sure how or why but I keep feeling this sensation like I'm trapped in something that is semi solid, nothing structurally stiff for it to be completely solid but neither is it fragile enough to dissolve like a liquid. I suppose it's my conscious trying to trick me to feel something through my eternal boredom. I've already done all the internal crying, complaining, and mindless yelling til I've grown, which doesn't make sense to me.
N/A name:(How can I still feel tired when I have no life to exhaust?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: as a living being, you'll feel a sense of exhaustion after a heavy amount of energy usage]
N/A name: ... (Heh, well, you look at that, I got so bored that I began to hallucinate a voice inside my hide, well better becoming crazy than feeling empty and bored)
Wise Sage:[Negative, I am the Unique Skill Wise Sage that serves the purpose to support and serve master with all available information]
N/A name: (wait if I'm actually hearing a voice, maybe I'm not dead but I'm simply in a coma and I'm hearing the voices of people nearby)
Wise Sage: [Negative, there are no vocal exchanges currently nearby you]
N/A name:(...well that's a relief at least I I'll be bored knowing I'm only in a coma state instead of straight up dead, dunno if I'm suppose to still physically feel something or not but I ain't a doctor. Seriously, is this some sort of new medical capsule technology that I haven't heard about. Kinda odd, I didn't think the hospitals here would have such equipment. I guess you learn something new every day.
Wise Sage:[sigh]
And so I continue to sit in place waiting for my time be free from my coma while also dreading how will my parents be able to pay for the hospital bill. I keep hearing the same voice over time, I didn't noticed at first but I recognize that semi robotic voice. It was Sage, no wait it was Great Sage from tensura, that was the extra word I was missing. Did one of my siblings put on the show for me to listen to? Well that's sweet of them, thankfully they put it on english dub. Didn't know hospital TV's would have anime streaming services. Although I only hear Great Sage speak, not Rimuru or even any of the other characters from the show. Guess my ears were damaged from the crash as well.
This continued on until I sensed some sort of... presence? I assume. Just some sort of area that I gotten interest in, I had an urge to go towards it. I'm in a coma, so I doubt I can, but I couldn't shake off this desire to get close to this presence. It was then I gotten this feeling that my entire moving, no more like abnormally shifting towards my destination, but yet didn't end up reaching my destination, it's like it's moving away or is also moving towards it's own direction. Oooooooh, I must've been dreaming without realizing it, which would explain how much of a strange situation I'm in, along with the sensation of moving.
I noticed that the distance between the presence was growing, it was speeding up it's pace. I didn't want to get left behind so I intensified the strength I put into my shifting speed to the point of MAXIMUM SHIFTS. During this odd chase, I felt many things poke my body, it was some sort of flat and flexible object, maybe a plant as best I can come up with to compare to. It was then that I noticed that the unknown presence slowed down to a halt to then drop down.
I gotten confused at the sudden change of direction only to then realize I gain sense a being in airborne only to be falling down like the presence had done before me. I didn't fall to a hard surface, if anything it felt like I just did a cannon ball
N/A name:(what did I just fall in?)
Wise Sage:[Answer: you are currently in a body of water, likely a pond or lake]
N/A name:(I wasn't that serious about the cannon ball, but would explain why my body feels even more restrictive to move. Although this feeling is far more real than it usually would be, infact I feel way more aware than I usually am in a dream)
Wise Sage:[Negative, you are not in a dream]
N/A name:(...I dunnoooo, suddenly being able to move while I still can't even open my eyes from my coma, sounds very dream like to me, smarty pants)
Wise Sage:[sigh]
N/A:(now then l let's get back to-wait wait WAIT, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT SPEED!!!)
The presence that I felt was suddenly moved at an intense speed, even more than the previous pace
N/A name:(CRAP! It's getting away, what do I do?)
Wise Sage:[Suggestion: inhale a large amount of water, then forcefully spit it out at the opposite direction of the precense to be lauched towards it's direction]
N/A name(what am I? Kirby or something? Well, better try something I suppose)
As such, I did as the voice suggested and inhaled a bunch of water, a surprising amount. Even to the point that it felt like the capsule I'm in was inflated, which didn't felt right nor natural. With all the water stored up, did what was also suggested and spit it out with enough force to launched me toward the presence at a rapid pace... actually this is a bit TOO fast than I would've liked. While I was regretting this and worrying about what's gonna happen, I sensed an even bigger presence infant of me along with the first presence. But my focus quickly changed when I suddenly became airborne again, and instead of falling down like a rock, I just went flying forward until I hit a wall
N/A name:(OW OW OW! that hur... wait, I didn't feel a thing, I'm sure a slammed onto a wall. Oh wait, I'm in a dream, of course it wouldn't have hurt)
Wise Sage:[Negative, this is due to the effect of Pain Nullification, which blocks out any feeling of pain]
N/A name:(Oh...alright)
Wise Sage:[Notice: Skill Water Pressure Propulsion Acquired]
Wise Sage:[Notice: the impact you received had taken 12% of health, Species Skill Self-Regeneration will be activated]
As that was going on, I heard a voice, another voice besides the one that I got used to hearing.
???:Oi, can you hear me, little ones?
Who is this? Is it my doctor? What a weird sounding doctor, that's for sure. Wait, I probably just woke up, didn't I?
???: (OI!, I asked if you two can hear me or not)
N/A name: (two? Is there another patient with me in this room? But is this guy actually serious? Hopefully, this isn't my doctor since he doesn't seem to be bright if he expects a coma patient to suddenly respond to him just because he demands it)
???: Hmph, you both are pretty bold to be acting like that towards me, especially the one who called me baldy
N/A name: (Is he really insulted that I can't naturally respond due to my coma? Also called "baldy," did he mean from the other patient? but they have yet to say anything either. What makes him think anyone is calling him baldy?)
???: (I can speak to you through thought communication, I can also hear both of your thoughts)
N/A name: (...what?)
???: (Yes, that's how we're speaking. It is through telepathy, also I am not a doctor)
N/A name: (... DID A WIZARD JUST BROKE INTO HOSPITAL ROOM?!)
???No, no, you got it all wrong, you approached me, I am not a wizard, and this is my cave, not a hospital room
N/A name: (You're not serious, are you? You're just pulling my leg here, right?)
???: Nope, but also, can neither of you see me?
N/A name:(I'm in a coma, I can't open my eyes even though I wanted to)
Wise Sage:[Notice: You have no eyes to open]
N/A name:(what!, were my eyes also damaged from the crash? I'm sure I hit the back of my head badly from the falling impact, but I wouldn't have thought it was bad enough to permanently damage my eyes to the point of removal. As if life wasn't already becoming difficult to deal with)
Wait, if this magician can connect to me and this supposed other patient through his telepathy, could he connect both of us to each other
N/A name:(hey, can you use that power of yours to help me speak to other people, please)
???:(Apologies, but as far as I'm aware, thought communication is a two-way street, I can't make a thought connection outside of my own)
N/A:(... I said please)
Wise Sage:[Allow Wise Sage to analyze the thought connection between the user and master, yes or no?]
N/A name:(Um, Suuuure, I suppose)
Wise Sage:[Successful, thought analyzing master's thought connection
Skill Thought Communication has been acquired]
N/A name:(I assume that means I'm a magician too now, alright let's try out my newfound magic. Abra Kadabra!)
.
.
.
Wise Sage:[Activate Thought Communication to the unknown individual yes or no?]
N/A name:(...yes)
Wise Sage:[thought connection has been established]
Alright,alright, pull you're self together, you're about to interact with a HOPEFULLY normal person, unlike the magician doctor, DON'T MAKE YOURSELF LOOK WEIRD. Wait how should I start the convo? Hey...nope,Yo...nada,Ayo...ugh definitely not. Maybe just a basic Hello will do, not too informal, but nothing unwelcoming either
N/A name:(H-Hello?...)
?????:(...Hello?)
N/A name:(HELLO!)
?????:(...)
N/A name:(...)
shoot,shoot, SHOOT, I got too excited and raised my voice more than I should have. They definitely think I'm a weirdo now. I wanna go hide in a corner
????? Pov:
Who is this now? First, some baldy kept pestering me to speak to them, but then Great Sage told me there was another presence as well. This person wished to speak to me. I wasn't sure if I heard them, so I responded back, hoping for an answer back, but was shocked from how loud they responded back. After that, neither of us spoke, making an awkward atmosphere between us that I'm sure even baldy must've caught on.
?????:(You still there?)
N/A name:(yeah, yeah, YUP, still here)
?????:(So who are you?)
N/A name:(I'm other person near you)
?????:(...could you be a bit more detailed in what you meant?)
N/A name:(well, I guess we're hospital room mates, I wasn't aware that there was another patient in here with me)
?????:(Eh?)
N/A name:(you think that's surprising? The doctor here is some crazy magician. Hopefully, he's not my actual doctor)
Is that where we are? I assume with all the crystals and herbs that I consumed, I'd be in a cave
?????:(Great Sage, am I really in a hospital?)
Great Sage:(Negative, it is very unlikely that we're in a hospital)
Then what are they on about then? Are they actually able to see, and we're in a place that resembles a hospital?
???:(Can you both stop ignoring me already!?)
?????:(ALRIGHT,ALRIGHT, geeeesh, what do you even want?)
???:(well, I wanted to get to what I asked earlier in regards to whether or not you two can see me)
?????:(well, the answer to is no. I can't see you)
N/A name:(me neither, I can't see anything)
???(Ah, I see now)
N/A name/?????:(was that intentional?)
???:(I know that slimes don't have eyes but it seems you two have yet to develop magic sense
N/A name/?????:(magic sense?)
???:(Yes, it's an extra skill that gives the ability to detect magicules within the environment. With this extra skill, you'll be able to see despite the lack of eyeballs)
?????:(So, if I can detect magicules in the air, I'll be able to see. Well, I guess I'll have to try it)
I try to sense the magicules within the air. I wasn't sure if I was doing it right. But then I started to notice some visuals surrounding me. It was some sort of rainbow aurora around me til I could actually see for the first time in my new reincarnated life.
I quickly head over to the pond so see that I really did become a slime. I look over to my side, seeing a fellow slime it seems this was the awkward one from earlier, but what about-
???:(it seems you can now see little one)
I turned over to see who was it that I was speaking to this whole time. Only to be met with the sight of a FREAKING DRAGON!!!. He jesters me to come towards him, and considering I'm just a small little slime, I complied.
???:(Allow me to formally introduce myself)
?????:(H-Hai)
Veldora:(I am the True Storm Dragon, Veldora, one of only four true dragons to have existed)
He proceeded to laugh, a laugh with enough force to not only shake me, but also the floor and basically the entire cave
Veldora:(hmm, but this is quite unusual. Normally, slimes wouldn't have the intelligence to think, let alone hold self-awareness. Would this make the two of you unique monsters?)
?????:(Unique? Well, I was a human who died and reincarnated as a slime, so I would assume I'm rarer than your average slime)
Speaking of two, I look back to notice the other slime had moved over to the pond as we were speaking. They weren't giving any immediate reactions to their current state, nor were we hearing anything through thought communication. As we were beginning to get worried, we finally heard something back, but instead of extinguishing our worries, it only amplify in fact.
N/A name:(*sniff*, *sniff*)
?????:(are you oka-)
The other proceeds to cry at such a high volume. Catching me and Veldora off guard by the intense reaction, we failed to realize what we should do to defuse the situation.
Not Avaliable name Pov:
...no, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!! This CAN'T be real, I didn't actually die, I DIDN'T DIE, I want out of this sick dream. Let me out, let me out, LET ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wise Sage:[Activiting Unique Skill Humble]
All of a sudden, I felt a great breeze that put me at ease. Thanks to that calming breeze, I was able to regain my composure. As I finally collected my thoughts, I turned over to the other two who gave me very concerned looks. It was then that I noticed that the pair consisted of a slime that is about my size and an enormous dragon.
The slime proceeds to move towards, forming little stubs to wrap around me, forming a hug. Kinda unsure how to feel about this touching act of kindness.
Not sure if slimes are capable of such, but I'm sure that what would be my facial cheeks started to feel warm and rosy in response to their act of kindness, not that I wanna admit it since I don't want to make this situation more uncomfortable for everyone than it already it. Yeah, that's why. that's a legitimate reason.
that's a legitimate reason
?????:(what's wrong?)
N/A name:(I-It's just that-)
Despite my regained composure, the rest of my body still has yet to catch up to my current emotions
N/A name:(I didn't want to believe *sniff* that I actually died, I wanted to believe that I was just unconscious in a hospital, that I could see my family again, but since it seems that *sniff* it really isn't the case, I really am never gonna see them again)
The slime then put a firmer grip in their hug to further consul me. I'm sure my facial cheeks would be even more red, but that's only a visual effect in anime. That definitely wasn't the case here.
After a short while of consultation, we were finally able to go back to where our conversation was previously at
Veldora:(Erm, sooo are you feeling okay now little one?
N/A name:(I guess so)
Veldora:(Alright, well I shall introduce myself again, I am the Great Storm Dragon VELDORA!)
N/A name:(...Veldora?)
Veldora:(Exactly, Veldora the Storm Dragon, one of four True Dragons in existence and easily the strongest there is, KHAHAHAHA!)
.......Veldora?, that Veldora. Is this just a massive coincidence of names. No, wait, that description he said fits perfectly. "The Great Storm Dragon" and "one of four True Dragons in existence" are what is specific to describe Veldora. But how, can I be a work of fiction? it doesn't make sense at all. Wait if there is a dragon and slime duo. With the Dragon being THE Veldora, indicating that this is likely tensura, then would this mean that this slime, THIS SLIME HERE is infact.....Rimuru? Wait, wait, hold on, I already overwhelmed myself today, let's try to express a reaction in a more calm and stable manner
N/A name:(Oh, okie dokie then)
Veldora:(you sound very unimpressed)
N/A name:(well, I am one to usually come off as flat to express)
Veldora/?????:(doubt it)
N/A name:(...Soooooo, um um um, what's with this dome here, ya know, why are you in it?)
Good recovery there me
Veldora:(well, I'm glad you asked)
He proceeds to tell the tale of how he was rampaging until he was imprisoned by a hero(which I believe was Chronoa, or was it still chloe? Or was Hinata still around? I forgot the order they were each the main host of the body) and have since been trapped in this dome for the last 300 years. He also ended explained what other worlders are during the middle of his tale as well
?????:(300 years!?, well, that doesn't sound like a fun situation to be in)
Veldora:(Exactly, it has been unbelievably BORING just sitting here. You two are the first people I have ever spoken to in the last centuries)
Hmmm, I feel tempted to mess with him for some reason. Let's give it a shot!
N/A name:(you must've felt pretty lonely after all that time. You wanna be friends with us?)
Veldora:(You, I think I, the Great Storm Dragon can be friends with you?)
N/A name:(fine be like that)
I immediately turn around and slowly shift away from the Dragon
Veldora:(wait, wait, WAIT, Baka! I never said I was against be friends with you)
Kaijuno: (Hehe, I knew it! Tsundere are hilarious to mess with)
?????:(Then I suppose that means we're friends then)
As such, we ended up doing the stubs and claw hand holding scene from the anime. It was safe to say it was a bit embarrassing for the both of us
?????:(okay, let's see about getting you out of there)
Veldora:(Really? You mean it?)
?????:(Yeah, I would feel pretty guilty if I leave one of my friends stuck in a cave)
Veldora gave us the puppy eyes in response. We both felt mildly uneasy since this was coming from a ferocious looking dragon
N/A name:(okay, but how are we gonna do that?)
?????:(Hmmm, let me see)
I believe they're gonna ask Great Sage what they could do to free Veldora. They came to the expected conclusion to use predation on the unlimited imprisonment. They did attempt to that by place a stub on the dome, but immediately figured out it wasn't gonna be as simple as that. They asked Great Sage again what to do, and it seemed to give the same devouring veldora process from the source material.
?????:(okay, I figured out a way to free you from that imprisonment)
Veldora:(Really? What is it?)
?????:(You'll analyze the unlimited imprisonment from the inside while I have Great Sage analyze from the outside to break you out of it)
Veldora:(that's it?)
?????:(yep, but in order to that... you'll go in my stomach)
.
.
.
Veldora:(that is... GENIUS!)
?????:(wait, you're sure you want to do this?)
Veldora:(Yes, we're friends after all, I'll trust you on this)
?????:(okay let's do this then)
Veldora:(wait, wait, you both are nameless monsters right)
N/A name:(I suppose as reincarnates, we technically no longer have names)
?????:(I guess we don't then, why did you ask, though?)
Veldora:(as beings from a monster race, if you were to receive a name from a higher being, you'll gain a surge of power, making you far more strong than you were previously)
?????:(really? Well, that sounds awesome)
Veldora:(Yes, and naming also establishes the bond between namer and named)
N/A name:(maybe could make a family name between us too. ...I-if you two are cool with it, that is)
Veldora:(Sure, I'll accept a family name, but it has to be cool, give me a cool family name)
N/A name:(um..., you got any ideas?)
?????:(well, Veldora is the storm dragon, so how about... Tempest?)
Veldora:(TEMPEST!?)
?????:(Eek!, you don't like it?)
Veldora:(I LOVE IT!!! From today forward, I shall be known as Veldora Tempest)
?????:(Great)
Veldora Tempest:(Yes, and from now on, you shall be Rimuru Tempest)
When Veldora said that, the slime next to me began to spaz out in a golden glow, signaling that they accepted the name Rimuru Tempest
Veldora:(And your name will be-)
N/A name:(Hey wait! If it's true that a bond is formed between namer and named than is it ok that Rimuru gives me the family name and veldora gives me my first name?)
It might be a bit of stretch since it's not exactly how naming works but if veldora is able to accept the family name of Tempest without taking Rimuru's magicules and the direwolves evolving into Tempest Wolves through the naming of the alpha. Then maybe I could cheese the system too by having both Veldora and Rimuru establishing my new name. If it proves successful, then not only I can have a soul connection with Veldora but also with Rimuru, which is gradually beneficial, especially in the long term.
Rimuru:(Oh, sure we can try that. From now on you shall accept Tempest as your family name)
Veldora:(Yes and as your first name to go alongside your family, the full identity that you will go by will be-

Kaijuno Tempest
