Rimuru's POV
'Where am I?'
<Notice. You are currently located inside a cave in the "Jura Great Forest".There are no hands or legs for you, so you can't feel or control any of them since you're a slime.">
Suddenly, this emotionless, robotic voice just popped out of nowhere and answered my questions inside my head.
"Who are you?"
I was having a weird time understanding what had just happened. I had no idea why I fell asleep in the first place, and now I was informed that I am in some kind of cave in a big forest that I had never heard as a slime.
All of these were provided by a voice inside of my head.
<Answer,I am your unique skill "Great Sage". I do not have a form since I only exist inside you so that is why you can only hear me but not see me in person.>
Great, now I just have more questions waiting to be answered with.

"Kuhahaha! What is a little slime like you doing in my cave? Me, the Storm Dragon Veldora?!"
"Storm dragon? Never heard of that ,who are you?"
"E-eh? You are supposed to like...act surprised or something! Most living things does in front of my presence."
"How is this fun? You are just another new creature I see in this place anyway. I'm done being surprised enough."
The dragon stared at me for a while, probably thinking something in his head. Whatever it is, I can't tell. I am no dragon after all. I'm more like a blob at the moment.
"You are a weird one of your kind. Slimes don't talk usually ,plus they can't utilize their senses in such precision." The dragon named Veldora remarked, as he leaned lower and closer for inspection.
'Where is this going?' is the only thought present in my head,
—----------------------------------------------------------------
"For I will devour your hunger and your sins along your death, king of Orcs, so do not worry."
The orc stared at me for a while,before letting out a chuckle and closed his eyes without much hesitation in his mind.
"Rimuru Tempest...you truly are quite greedy. Thank you. My people shall depend on you now, for that I can rest in peace."
He sighed,before accepting his fate of becoming a part of another monster, slowly fading into the air as a flickering light as his existence no longer lingers in the world,being free from the amount of despair,anger, and burden, that he mounted for the majority of his life until now, in peace.
Looking at the fading particles of light that slowly vanished in the skies one by one, I couldn't help but think of how dazzling and beautiful it looked from my perspective. What was truly the last of him dissispating into thin air like fading stars.
Perhaps sometimes there are reason.
"Rest in peace in the afterlife."
—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In his mind,all of these scenes he remembered clearly,as his memories. However, in a mixed stream of them flooding his mind, he started to spot a few that he didn't remember experiencing.
I have never seen anybody ever before and now...?
Unconsciously acting, he reached out for them to know the truth.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A distant memory, millions of years old, the most ancient times of this world and time.
