My friend is a slime, so what?

Part 2: Remember to look where you are going.

Why did I do that?! I shouldn't have done that! Why do I get soo greedy!? I shouldn't have gotten soo full of myself just because I was starting to hunt a few tiny monsters! Why? Why? Why?! When did the frogs learn how to use teamwork!? I thought I could get them one by one while staying hidden, but apparently, they got an excellent hearing. Who could have thought frogs have good hearing!? I should have paid more attention during biology class!

What is wrong with this world!? Been reincarnated in another world should be a power fantasy, with some Harem instead of some roguelike game?! Then again, I could do without the Harem part. That would be way too awkward. I would be too busy running away from the Harem to do anything. At least that part would be original. "Reincarnated in another world as a spider wizard, but too busy running away from my Harem to do anything!" If I survive this world, I should write a light novel about it! Those are really popular nowadays!

Speaking of surviving, I should look back to see if those frogs stop chasing me; I'm starting to get tired of all this running. A quick peek shouldn't hurt. Yes! Finally! I leave those frogs behind! Nothing can defeat my ultimate technique of running away!

Splosh!

Ack! What happen!? Did I fall into the water? I get that is what I get for looking away while running. Well, I just have to swim for the surface.

"Blub?"

Where is the surface? Wait, this isn't water; it is too thick and gelatinous... WHY DOES IT WIGGLE!?

"BLURGL!"

It's a slime! I'm stuck inside a slime! Oh no! Oh no! No, no, no! I can't die like this! Ugh, my chest is burning! I can't breathe. I need to get out of this slime! I can't pierce through the superficial tension, and I don't have any footing to push myself out!... ugh, my lungs... I can't handle it! IT HURT SOO BAD! PLEASE! NO LIKE THIS, POISON! WEB! ANYTHING PLEASE WORK!

-Poison Synthesis LV1 has become Poison Synthesis LV2-

-Spider Thread LV5 has become Spider Thread LV6-

"BLARGH! GLUP!"

Soo... this is it?... this how I meet my end, eaten by a slime, like the weak and pathetic spider I am... Been soo reckless finally caught up to me. I guess I will have to remember to be more careful next time.

-Skill acquire Faint Resistance LV1-

WHAT THE HELL!? WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THAT SKILL NOW! I DON'T WANT TO BE CONSCIOUS WHILE I'M BEEN DIGESTED! Oi, why is the slime wiggling like this!?

"Puag!"

Splat!

"Coft coft! gasp! blegh! blegh!"

Ack! blegh! I have slime on my mouth! Gros... though surprisingly it doesn't taste bad; in fact, it is the best thing I have tasted since I woke up here, Hmm... I don't know if I should find that concerning. Oh, right, the slime! I quickly move away from it; I don't want to be eaten again! Hmm, the slime is just standing there, looking at me... Maybe he didn't like how I tasted, and that is why it is not attacking me? I don't know if I should be relieved or offended! Maybe the first one, just to hurt my feelings. Should I attack it? Can I even hurt him? I mean, he kind of tastes good, sort of like jello.

"Uuh... Hello?"

Aaah! What is that voice in my head!? Did it finally happen? All these experiences had driven me insane?! No! I already have enough trying to survive! Then again, this would make things less lonely, speaking with myself, Who is best to keep me company than myself?

"Yeah... About that, I'm actually the slime."

Said what now?

"What now?"

...

"... Sorry"

... You are the slime?

"Correct! Look, I can wave."

Yep... It's waving at me. You are a slime that... can read my thoughts...

"Well, kind of. I have Telepathy which allows me to communicate like this, but since your thoughts are kind of loud, they end up being broadcasted to me."

Soo... You have heard everything that I had thought since I ran into you?

"Yes...? I tried not to, but...."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

"Hey! Wait! Where are you going!? It's dangerous to run off by yourself like this!!"

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! GET OUT OF MY HEAD! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD! LALALALALALA! NO TOUGH, HEAD EMPTY! NO TOUGH, HEAD EMPTY! NO TOUGH, HEAD EMPTY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHY MEEEEEEEE!?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait! Come back! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to invade the privacy of your mind! This can't get any worse!

Warning: The presence of Elroe Baladorado, also known as Giant Snake, can be felt further down this path.

NEVER MIND, IT GOT WORSE!
