I suddenly awaken with a jolt, and yell "What!"
I had just been in my room, studying for a test. When suddenly, the door opened and a man stepped inside of my house and shot me to death.
My life wasnt a good life, But it also wasn't bad. I had friends, family, a good paying job, All of that taken from me. Just like that.
Now, I am floating in a endless void. All I see is black.
"Hm, So this is the afterlife? More bland than I expected."
I look down at my "body" and all I see is black. No body to be seen.
"Why? Why did they have to kill me?"
I swore I would get revenge on them one day, I dont know how, or when, but I will.
A loud booming voice sounds in seemingly all directions at once and inside of my head, saying: "Greetings mortal, It is I, The god of revenge and reincarnation. I hear you have some....
Unfinished business. I am going to be giving you a second chance. Though celestial law dictates that I cannot reincarnate a human as a powerful being. But what I can do, is give you the
ability to steal other being's abilities."
"WHAT? WHERE ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU? WHY DID I DIE?"
The voice softens a little and says: "I am nowhere, but everywhere at once. As I have stated previously, I am the god of revenge and reincarnation. And you died because of an unfortunate mishap on my end. I am terribly sorry."
"WHAT MISHAP COULD CAUSE SOME GUYS TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE AND SHOOT ME?"
The voice replies: "Mortal, They are some of my minions. They found themselves lost and thought your house was their target house. You see, There is a person in the area who has a very high
amount of negative karma, and they had to be exterminated. It was a simple miscalculation."
"MISCALCULATION? YOU BETTER MAKE THIS GOOD OR IM GONNA GET REVENGE ON YOU TOO!"
The voice laughs and says: "I like you, mortal. You can contact me at any time by simply willing it. You have also been given a system from those reincarnation novels. Goodbye for now."
I black out, and slowly regain conciousness.
"My limbs, WHERE ARE MY LIMBS?" I yell in my head.
[Your limbs do not exist anymore. You are a slime.]
"What? I SWEAR TO WHATEVER GOD THAT EXISTS, IF YOU ARE THAT SAME VOICE FROM BEFORE I WILL BE ANGRY!"
[I am the system appointed to you. All of my memories have been erased that would not help you in your quest for vengeance.]
"Why? Why did I have to die?" I say sadly in my head.
[Due to having the god's favor, you have been gifted multiple powers normal people don't get when reincarnated.]
"Oh? List them then!"
[The god has gifted you the following abilities: Me, The ability to absorb items and change them, The ability to Parasitize beings, And the ability to create smaller beings you have parasitised.]
"Wait a second, Wait wait wait wait WAIT! I got reincarnated AS A SPECIES I CREATED?"
I had used to be a writer. Just like many other people. I was obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons and writing fantasy stories. I had been working on this parasite slime race when I had been killed.
"Fuck. A cruel twist of irony."
"Wait, Why haven't you responded yet?"
[You have to be directly talking to me in order for me to respond. In the future, I may gain the clearance level to respond whenever.]
With the chat over, I decide to figure out how to move. It seems simple enough, Though it isnt.
"Alright, Time to figure out how to move."
I try leaning forward, and my slime moves a bit on the top.
"No, that won't work."
Next, I try to rotate my slime, and I begin to roll forwards slowly.
[Congratulations, you have earned the passive skill: [Roll]]
"By the way, How big am I? I remember making the parasitic slime extremely small when it was first born."
[You are the size of a cell.]
"And where exactly have I been reincarnated at?"
[Earth. You have been reincarnated outside of your house on earth. Though 50 years have passed since your death.]
"Earth? SHIT! The government is going to capture me and experiment on me!"
