Evolution of Slime to Peak

"Huh?"

The darkness disappeared, and a vision came into Ren's sight. A room was made up of stone, the ceiling, floor, and walls, everything was made of polished stone.

'Why am I on the floor?'

He thought as he tried to stand up. But he couldn't. Not only he couldn't stand, but he also couldn't feel his legs.

Just as his attention went to his body, he found he was squishy.

A small puddle was a little far from the room. Without having any lead to where he was nor what he was, he moved his body. Rubbing his body on the floor, he slowly crawled to the puddle.

He looked down. The moment he did, the time froze. He couldn't believe his eyes.

A blue ball or it looked like one. The whole body was polished. a small eye was in the middle of his body. There was no nose, but a small mouth instead.

It didn't take a minute for him to figure out. "I became... a slime?"

Slime, what is it? A squishy substance that people play with in real life. A weak monster that every gamer has at least killed once in his life.

Anything says, but slime is only a slime. Even though one novel's mc is slime and he is pretty op while another mc has slime has its pet.

"Haah! I am a slime..."

Ren sighed looking at himself. He is pretty cute, though. The blue slime size of a football moves while crawling rubbing his squishy body with the ground...

"Anyway, this is my reality for now. Do I have a system or any golden finger as the rumor says? Maybe I could be overpowered as heck?"

Ren's eyes gleam thinking if he could live the life of a protagonist. Going for adventure, picking up girls, killing enemies...

"Oh... But What do I do now?"

He thought deeply. His brain worked and some information magically came to him, like it was imprinted on his brain.

It was all about slime and his skills.

It wasn't a system. According to this memory, all slime knows themselves. Like humans who know how to eat, drink, etc from their birth, slimes know about their race/basic information about themselves from the birth.

Slimes are... immortal.

As long as their cores aren't destroyed, they can live for as long as they want. They could take energy from anything they eat. Be it stone, fire, or even acid, as long a slime could absorb it, it becomes nutrients for it.

So, except for destroying their cores, nothing else can kill them. There is something, but mentioning it is a waste of time.

Most importantly, a skill has caught his eyes.

[Exclusive Skill -> Gluttony: Absorb skill from the eaten things.]

It was the only skill he had, and on top of that, it was an exclusive skill. He doesn't know if anyone else has this skill, but he could be at least sure to a certain degree that in the slime race, he only has this skill.

"So, I could get a skill from anything I eat?"

Ren was a little doubtful, but it came from the memory, so he didn't have to deny it either. He thought for a while, and look at the water in the pond.

"What if...I drink this water?"

Ren doesn't know if only eating things will activate the skill. Can this still work if I drink water? This won't make sense, but giving it a try won't harm him.

He couldn't even feel thirsty or hungry, he just need to consume anything when he feels tired.

"Anyway, let's drink this."

Ren closed his eyes and jumped on the pond. He couldn't bend, it wasn't that he couldn't bend, it was that it was too hard. He had to manage his body, and it was slippery. He didn't have that much control over his own body.

Splash!

As he fell into the water, he drowned. He couldn't swim. Fortunately, his weight wasn't that much, so he floated on the water.

He drank water somehow. Just as the water went inside his body, he didn't feel anything. Yes, nothing. The water went naturally, but he didn't feel satisfied. He didn't feel anything, it didn't even feel like, the water went inside his throat.

Ren sighed.

Suddenly, a feeling came to his mind.

​ "I learned another skill!"

Ren exclaimed with joy. He immediately checked the skill.

[Water Manipulation: As long as near the water, you can control the water to fight.] (A/N: This isn't from the system. The [] are just for providing information, Ren didn't see the skill, he feel and know it.]

"So, I could manipulate water... Let's try."

Magic and human, no one in the world would have resistance to magic. Every human being from Earth will be easily charmed by magic.

Why?

Magic is cool!

Anyway, Ren closed his eye. He slowly uses Water Manipulation. Indescribable energy left his body. Like a network, it created a connection between Ren and the energy.

The energy entered inside the water and grasped it. Ren could now move the water as he pleased.

"Let's move it upward."

The water flowed up, and a small line of water moved upward creating a stick-like figure.

Of course, he is using magic for the first time. So, it would be difficult to maintain it. The water just floated for 5 seconds before falling and mixing with the pond.

Ren felt exhausted like his stamina has been depleted instantly.

His eyes became heavy, and darkness covered him.

A memory of the past flashed inside his mind as he fell into a deep slumber.
