Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Drip! Drop!

A viscous, foul-smelling liquid slowly dripped from the moss-covered cracks in the walls. The sound of the droplets hitting the ground echoed in the dark, gloomy space. This dim area was filled with rotten vegetable leaves, putrid eggs, decaying chunks of meat, and various unidentified objects. In the distance, patches of foul-smelling excrement floated on the murky, viscous water surface.

The stench of rotting matter permeated the entire space. Due to the lack of ventilation for years, the accumulated stench was so overpowering that even low-level monsters like goblins couldn't bear it.

They preferred to live in more dangerous places rather than stay in this stinky, filthy environment. After all, this kind of environment could truly stink a monster to death!

Plop!

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the opening above, heavily crashing into the excrement-filled river. In the dim space, one could vaguely see the shadow struggling a few times at first, but before long, it emitted a strange swallowing sound, and then the shadow completely lost its movement.

Just then, in this space where even goblins were unwilling and unable to survive, clusters of streamlined creatures emerged from the corners. They hopped and skipped across various obstacles, swarming into the black river in droves.

A few minutes later, circular liquid-like creatures completely enveloped the shadow that had just fallen. More and more of these creatures continued to join in from the river, participating in this gluttonous feast that belonged only to them.

"So, what's going on with me right now?"

At this moment, on the only relatively clean patch of ground in the corner, a basketball-sized liquid creature didn't instinctively jump towards the river like its newly born kin. Instead, it remained quietly in place, as if sensing the world around it.

"What is this thing?"

Suddenly, the liquid creature, which was carefully sensing its surroundings, trembled. Even in the dimly lit space, one could clearly see ripples spreading across its round body. At this moment, in the creature's previously vague perception of the world, a illusory light screen appeared before its eyes.

Name: Nameless Monster (Lu Minghao)

Race: Slime

Talent: [Encounter in Another World] (Red): Coming from another world, you possess truly limitless potential.

Ability 1: Plunder the origin of the world. When a certain level is accumulated, you can consume the origin of the world to travel to other worlds.

Ability 2: When you travel to a new world, you will randomly gain a new purple talent.

[Gluttony] (Purple): You possess a bottomless stomach and digestive ability. Due to your racial characteristics, you can devour both living and inorganic matter, and you will completely absorb the nutrients of the devoured matter to accelerate your growth, and you may gain a portion of its abilities.

[Slime Physique] (White): As a slime, you are naturally born with a liquid body, require no breathing or sleep, can eat with any part of your body, are immune to some weak physical attacks, and possess asexual reproduction capabilities.

"So, not only did I die, but after transmigrating, I'm not even human anymore?"

The slime, or rather, Lu Minghao, stared blankly at the familiar words on the panel before him, his liquid body forming question marks.

In his last memories, he was walking down the street, head down, playing on his phone, when he suddenly heard a commotion. When he looked up, he only saw a runaway truck full of goods heading straight towards him. The next second, everything went black, and he felt as if his body had been exploded. After feeling something spray out of his body, he heard the noisy voices of the crowd all around.

"As expected of the famous transmigration artifact, the truck. It truly lives up to its name."

After recalling his previous memories and combining it with the current situation, Lu Minghao roughly knew what had happened. He had been carelessly sent away by the transmigration artifact truck while he was out for a stroll, and then inexplicably came to this world and became a slime, and even awakened his talent abilities.

That's right!

Those things that Lu Minghao saw earlier were not the so-called systems in the novels he usually read, but rather the talent [Encounter in Another World] that he awakened due to unknown reasons when he transmigrated to this world. As for [Gluttony] below, it was a new talent awakened after [Encounter in Another World] after transmigrating to this world, and [Slime Physique] was inherent to his body.

Talents are ranked from highest to lowest as Red, Orange, Purple, Blue, and White. Except for the top-tier talents, all other talents will increase as Lu Minghao grows, and this is just talent, it will not directly grant Lu Minghao powerful strength. In other words, even if he has these talents now, he is still just a weak slime.

However, compared to ordinary slimes, he possesses truly limitless potential.

As for why the talent appears in the form of a panel, it's just because Lu Minghao instinctively feels that this is easier to understand. If he wanted to, he could completely change it to another appearance, or even change it into a loli to cling to in his consciousness.

"Wait! If I'm a slime now, doesn't that mean my previous body is still in the original world...? Crap, my phone, computer, browser history, hidden hard drive, various software..."

The next second, in the dimly lit space, the newly born slimes, who were following their instincts and jumping towards the distance, stopped and looked at the slime that was running around in place. Although its round body clearly had no eyes, it gave people a feeling of looking at something. However, with the slimes' weak intelligence, they couldn't understand what Lu Minghao was doing at this moment. They stopped only because they instinctively felt the vibration in the air.

After discovering that there was no danger, they turned around and jumped towards the viscous, excrement-filled river not far away. The newly born slimes instinctively craved to eat and gain nutrients.

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. Anyway, the me in that world is already dead. Even if there's a chance to return to that world in the future, the current me is just a slime. So, what does the human Lu Minghao's business have to do with a slime like me?"

Just as all the newly born slimes ran off to eat their first meal in a grand manner, Lu Minghao also calmed down. Indeed, the current him is just a slime, so what does the previous business have to do with him... Anyway, he would never admit the things on his computer and phone!

"However, what world am I in now? Since there are slimes in this world, doesn't that mean there are other monsters, mages, knights, etc.? Wouldn't that mean that beast-eared girls, centaur girls, elves, and succubus sisters also exist!"

The next second, Lu Minghao's round body swayed, and a bunch of indescribable images appeared in his mind.
