Chapter 2: Becoming a Slime

Martin: Question, if I have a single wish which will make me gain powers which are drawing nearer the 3 big O's or eventually gain one of the 3 Big O's, can I have it arranged as such in exchange for the 3 wishes?

TOAA: Yes, but you would have to grow them from scratch, the 3 O's (Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence: All-powerful, All-knowing, All-present/Ubiquity) are no so easily gained. Strict rules are in place, and it depends upon many factors such as luck, fortuitous encounters, and certain power limits need to be exceeded before you eventually gain one of them.

What I can only guarantee is that you will gain these eventually once you find the right path. But it is more or less settled that you can get it through one way or another given enough time.

Well then, if this is what you want and with the explanations out of the way, quickly spin this wheel containing random numbers, each of which correspond to a different earth, with a different reality. Don't worry you'll get a small summary and description of whatever reality you randomly get reincarnated into so as you won't get too lost on what kind of world you've landed into. Plus, once you've gained enough strength or found a way to traverse the multiverse, multiversal travel shall be open to you. Be wary of other multiversal travelers and multiversal beings though. Never venture out unless you're that confident with your strength.

Martin: Okay then, can I modify my wish a bit so that I have a similar system/voice in my head as that of that Slime in that Anime that I saw.

TOAA: Wish granted. But do note that you'd have to be a reborn as a slime as well, some powers cannot be used without the physiology of a slime, you see.

Martin: Alright then, in that case I'll spin the wheel now. [ I can always find a way to change my outward form/look/physique given Rimuru's abilities]

He came up the wheel, floating himself towards it, and with his current existence as a soul, he wonder how he will even be able to get it to spin. The god reads his mind and immediately says,

TOAA: Just say with intent, 'Spin' and it will do as you asked.

Martin: *Concentrates and with his mind, says and wills the wheel to [SPIN!!!]

With seemingly game like mechanics, a random number was pointed and displayed on the air

"Ea-295.595-Apo-v-12"

TOA: You've gotten quite the interesting world eh? Hmm... let me see for a bit... Ahh.. This world is in an apocalyptic state ever since the year 2212, the cause of which is a meteor containing a foreign substance that carried a unique radiation, causing most life on earth to mutate and gain strange powers.

Some humans have gained power by absorbing said radiation or energy through... what did they call it again?

*looks to the side, gestures and waves, only for a book to appear*

TOAA: This is a catalog book summarizing each unique universe and their variants. Hmm... hang on... let me find out for a bit... aanndd done. They do cultivation, yadda yadda yadda, huh... interesting. So it turn's out this universe is a mixture between two novels/manga/manhua which you would quite familiar with. Does "I have a Mansion in the Apocalypse" and "I am the Last Human" sounds familiar right? The difference is that you might encounter familiar Marvel Characters. However, not all characters will be there though, so it's kind if a mash-up, crossever universe, but at the same time it isn't.

For the specifics you would have to see for yourself. Mankind has adapted though, in order to brave the dangers of the many sorts of infected.

Well now... Don't worry about your family, I'll see to it that they live a good life, your siblings as well. Enjoy and explore universe for yourself, and aim to survive, thrive and live.

Martin took a bow (the intent was transferred and understood by the god despite Martin being in soul form) and said a grateful thank you, for having another shot at life, regardless of what world it is.

*Inner dialouge* [Strangely enough, though I died, god seems to have made me more calm as I needed to quickly accept my fate, and focus more on surviving. Despite leaving my family, I knew they'd be fine. I had backup plans ready in case of my sudden passing. It was as if he had foreseen that my early years would be spent purely on adapting to everything.]

And so he went to be reincarnated, with a more stable looking wormhole appearing below him. His consciousness fading to black up until he was able to sense his basic sense of touch. A voice sounded out and announced a couple of things.
