Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Let’s Find Out What I Can Do
It's dark.
The darkness envelopes all, preventing me from seeing any shape or figure.
Where am I? Besides, what had happened?
Wasn't there someone making fun of me, calling me a... sage?... no, a great sage.
With that thought, I regained consciousness.
My name is Mikami Satoru. A 37 year old, nice guy.
While saving my kouhai[1] from a some street slasher, I got stabbed instead.
Alright~, remembered. I'm okay. No time for panic.
And really, could a cool guy like me even panic? Hah. That's as likely as a grade school kid shi**ing his pants.
When I tried to look around, I finally noticed. I can't open my eyes.
That problem aside, when I attempted to touch my head... I noticed my arms don't respond. And even more perplexing is the fact that I cannot tell where my head is.
Alright, time to panic.
Oi, oi, give me a sec here.
Just an hour please, let me catch my breath. They say that you should count prime numbers at a time like this, no?
1, 2, 3, Daaaaa!!!
Wrong! That's not right. One is not a prime number, is it?
No no, who cares about that.
No time for this foolishness. I mean, aren't I in trouble?
Are~? Hey, what the heck happened?
Maybe... I mean what if it is too late to even consider panicking?
Gathering my thoughts, I confirmed that I am in no way in pain.
No pain. Feeling pretty good.
Neither hot nor cold. Actually, a really comfortable atmosphere they've got here.
I can relax a bit thanks to that.
Next, let's check the limbs. Forget about them fingertips, I can't even move a muscle...
How could that be?
It's not like one can lose their arms and legs from being stabbed... so what happened?
And still, I cannot open my eyes.
Without seeing anything, I am in utter darkness.
Dread and unease slowly creep their way into my heart.
Could this... be what they call a vegetative state?
Consciousness separated from nerve endings"immobile... is this what it is?
No, no, no, no! Please don't let that be true!
Just when I thought I was saved... vegetative state? What could be worse? Even losing a half of my body would be preferable!
And yeah, both outcomes would be terrible. But to be alone in this darkness, without any senses... isn't that just hell?
Having imagined the worst scenario, panic has quickly turned into despair.
I want to think it over.
They say that when people are confined in darkness, they quickly go mad. I happen to be in that state right now, and cannot even kill myself.
Rather than despairing, the only thing I can do is go insane, huh?
And then,
*Touch*
There was a sense of touch.
Hmm? What is...
All my senses were focused on feeling that sensation
With a horizontal stroke across my belly (?), I felt something akin to grass.
Focusing my entire consciousness on that area, I slowly began to make out the shape of my body. And by the way, the grass's tip felt prickly against my body.
It kind of made me happy.
Yet, I'm still in complete darkness. And although I regained only one of the five senses, I could finally feel again.
Amused, I decided to try to head towards that grass.
