Satoru woke up from what felt like the weirdest dream he ever had.
The memory and the soul were factors that defined a person. At this very moment, he had both his and Veldanava's memories. He was both at the same time, so to speak.
From what he knew, this was his 3rd life; his previous 2 were stabbed to death. 'Luck isn't on my side when it comes to sharp objects...noted.'
But screw that, the present was more important. 'Speaking of which, where am I? Why is it this dark? I can't see anything!'
His eyes couldn't see, and he couldn't feel his arms and legs either. Even so, it didn't make him feel uncomfortable, as if this was the natural state of this body. He wasn't a dragon, and clearly wasn't a human. 'So what am I reincarnated into?'
«Answer: Master is a Subspecies of the True Dragon race: "Ultimate Slime".»
'This voice?!' He became cautious of it. After everything his previous life had to endure. It wasn't strange for him to have a trust issue, especially with the voice that reminded him of Voice of the World.
«Notice: I am Unique Skill: "Great Sage" - I might borrow this voice from "Voice of the World" for communication, but we aren't associated. Nice to meet you.»
'Nice to meet you...too?' Hearing her explanation, he was relieved. She seemed to hold him in high regard judging from her tone. 'As long as you don't put a bounty on me, we can stick together, understand?'
«Answer: Understood.»
'Don't betray me, don't use trickery and don't stab me in the back.'
«Answer: Understood.»
It was only an oral vow, but it did help. 'So, where are we? Do you know where we are, Great Sage?'
«Notice: More material needs. I apologize.»
'Not only I am in an unknown place, even if I can move, I am still blind from my surroundings. How annoying. Can I just start my 4th life?' That, of course, was only a joke. But still, unable to see anything would make his life more complicated than what he was used to.
«Notice: Acquiring Extra Skill: "Magic Perception"...successfully.»
When her voice died down, the world of darkness he was placed in started to brighten. Not only could he see again, he could see clearer, better than before.
Magic Perception was a skill that used interactions that Magicule made when exposed to light and sound, sending all of that information straight into the user's brain. It allowed the user to see 360 degrees without any blindspot.
«Notice: Synchronizing Extra Skill: "Magic Sense" to Unique Skill: "Great Sage"...successfully. I will handle the information from now on.»
'Thank you!'
«Notice: Compliment accepted.»
If it wasn't for Great Sage, he would be in deep trouble. Despite his previously divine nature, he wasn't that good when it came to creating a skill in an emergency. From 40,000+ skills that existed, he only created 16 of them. But to his defense, the skills he created were big shots. They outclassed every skill Voice of the World had created.
Even if her voice was monotonic. Satoru believed that Great Sage was smiling. She probably got a taste of victory for the first time. As long as she didn't get addicted to that feeling, he wouldn't mind.

Because Magic Perception had limited range, Satoru still had to bounce around the cave and prayed for his skill to detect an exit. Along the way, he ate everything that crossed paths with him.
