"HI, YOU THERE." The storm dragon had noticed the movement of a very small liquid blob.
"Huh! Who's there!? Who said that!?" The slime comedically twisted it's body around, looking for the source of the voice.
"I'M RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU, DON'T IGNORE ME."
"WELL I CAN'T SEE YOU!!!" The slime shouted at whatever was Infront of it.
"DON'T SHOUT NOW." The true dragons roar sent the slime into a fearing histeria.
"I'm sorry!" The slime tried to apologize and leave discreetly.
"HUH, UT SEEMS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE. WELL THEN, AS A FAVOR, I SHALL BESTOW ONTO YOU SIGHT. THERE IS A SKILL KNOWN AS MAGIC SENSE, TRY TO FEEL THE MAGICULES AROUND YOU." Despite the roaring voice, Veldora sounded very gentle.
'Huh magic sense, hey great sage can we try to feel the magicules around me?'
{Would you like to attempt to use the extra skill magic sense Yes/No}
'Yes, let's do that.' The mental proclamation of the slime caused him to suddenly feel everything all at once. He could feel the air around him, se the rocks under him.
And he could see the massive dragon and barrier that surrounded him. Now that was what made the slimes already liquid body sweat, "Uh… HUH!!"
"NOW YOU CAN SEE. I AM THE TRUE STORM DRAGON, ONE OF ONLY FOUR TRUE DRAGONS IN THE WORLD!" Veldora proudly presented himself in all his glory.
" Oh ok, Well then I'll be in my way!" The slime panicked and turned around to get away as quick as possible.
"WAIT A SECOND." The voice made him stop in his tracks, "I ASK THAT YOU STAY FOR A LITTLE, AS YOU CAN SEE I'M COMPLETELY ALONE HERE AND CAN'T LEAVE."
"Oh um ok, so do you want to talk with me about something?" The slime asked still weary about the entity before him.
"YES, YOU SEE, I'M EXCEPTIONALLY BORED IN THIS CAVE AND HAVE NO ONE TO TALK TO ME AND I WISH FOR A FRIEND. THAT ISN'T THE FULL REASON BUT IT IS ONE OF THE REASONS. NOW TELL ME WHAT KINDA SLIME ARE YOU, ONE THAT HAS SO MUCH INTELLIGENCE."
" Well that, I was actually reincarnated into this world. You see I was previously a human who was stabbed and then I came to this world as a slime."
" I SEE. SO YOU ARE AN OTHERWORLDER?"
" Is that a common thing in this world?"
" NO BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE OTHERWORLDERS WILL COME THROUGH OUR WORLD THROUGH SUMMONS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ONE BEING REINCARNATED."
" Huh, maybe I should see if there are others like me from Japan."
" HUH, YOU'RE LEAVING SO SOON?" Veldora pouted from the sudden declaration from the slime.
" Well I guess I could stay alittle longer. Can you tell me about how you were sealed in this barrier?"
" AHH YES, IT'S A GREAT STORY. IT ALL HAPPENED 300 YEARS AGO."
————Queue flashback————
" I SORT OF ACCIDENTALLY BURNED DOWN AN ENTIRE TOWN."
" Accidentally."
" SO OF COURSE, SOMEONE CAME LOOKING TO SLAY ME. IT'S POSSIBLE I MAY HAVE UNDERESTIMATED MY OPPONENT ABIT. ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE BATTLE, I STARTED USING MY FULL STRENGTH, AND I STILL LOST SOMEHOW!"
" Seriously, but you seem like a pretty strong dude. Was your opponent super powerful?"
"YES, EXTREMELY POWERFUL. THE HUMANS CALLED HER A HERO, BLESSED WITH DIVINE PROTECTION."
"A blessed hero? Sounds like something out of a video game."
"USING HER UNIQUE SKILL, SHE OVERPOWERED ME IN BATTLE AND THEN SEALED ME AWAY USING INFINITY PRISON."
" Is that shiny stuff her infinity prison spell?"
" YES, ALSO YOU SHOULD KNOW, THE HERO REFERRED TO HERSELF AS SOMETHING CALLED A SUMMON."
" A summon? Is that supposed to be something different to an otherworlder?" The slimes top grew out a question mark from liquid
" IT REQUIRES MORE THAN THIRTY MAGES, PERFORMING A RITUAL THAT LASTS SEVERAL DAYS TO BRING ONE HERE FROM ANOTHER WORLD."
" Oh! So there are mages here! This sounds more and more like a game!"
" THEY'RE ALSO EXPECTED TO SERVE AS POWERFUL WEAPONS."
" Weapons?"
" YES FOR THE SUMMONER, MAGIC IS USED TO CARVE A CURSE INTO THE SUMMON'S SOUL TO ENSURE THAT THE SUMMON CAN'T DEFY THE SUMMONER."
" What the hell!? That's just cruel!"
" IS IT? I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR WORLD IS LIKE, BUT IN THIS WORLD, THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST."
" So you've been stuck in this cave ever since that hero sealed you in here 300 years ago?"
" YES, ALTHOUGH I DO ADMIT THAT NOT EVERYTHING I SAID WAS TRUE, I HAVE NOT BEEN ENTIRELY ALONE. I HAVE HAD ONE PARTICULARLY INTERESTING VISITOR."
The slimes body grew another question mark, " What do you mean?"
"WELL YOU SEE BEHIND ME IS A COUPLE OF STUFF THAT ARE APART OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION."
The slime looked past the dragons massive body, expecting to see a huge stash of golden and expensive jewellery like dragons horde in fiction, but what he saw was something no one would expect.
There were library's of manga and light novels stacked behind Veldora, some that even he hasn't seen before. It was otaku heaven.
" ABOUT 150 YEARS AGO, I HAD MET A FRIEND. A FRIEND WHO HAD GAVE ME ATTENTION, SUPPORT AND EVEN GAVE THESE THING TO TAME MY BOREDOM WHENEVER HE NEEDED TO LEAVE. I EVEN TOOK UP SOME LITERATURE PRACTICE MYSELF." Veldora said while showcasing his to-scale typewriter.
The slime was impressed by this showcasing of his weeb stash, "Wow! Your friend is impressive, what's his name? I would love to meet him."
"HIS TITLE IS CALLED PNEUMA. I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS NAME." Veldora stated something like that so casually.
"Tch. How can you not remember your friends name so easily. Seems like you're quite the fake friend."
The slime assumed his berating question would've gotten an arrogant retort from the dragon. Instead, my question just made the dragon look deeply… saddened, " THE REASON I CAN'T REMEMBER HIS REAL NAME IS BECAUSE HE ERASED HIS MEMORY FROM ME."
Now that had truly stunned the slime, " Do you have an idea of where he is at the moment?" he slimes voice was gentle and solemn.
" I BELIEVE HE IS RIGHT ABOVE US. YOU SEE, RIGHT ABOVE US IS THE GREAT FOREST OF JURA WHICH IS MY DOMAIN WHERE I WAS REVERED AS THE SOLE GOD."
" Was? Are you not anymore?"
" NO I AM, JUST REVERED ALONGSIDE THE GOD PNEUMA, THE FRIEND I MENTIONED BEFORE. FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE GOD OF SPIRITS, CURRENTLY KNOWN AS THE GOD OF CHAOS."
