Noble 6 POV

Six- "So what do I call you and what time period are you from old man?"

After I asked it that question it stood there for a moment seemingly unsure what to say. It must still be processing what I said. Of course I never played the game he mentioned my life never allowed such happy moments for me. All I had after my parents died was revenge against the Covenant and training to do just that nothing else. My race needed me more than anything at that time and I did what was necessary for our species to survive the war. Never got to see its conclusion though. Last thing I remember after be ing on Reach was being almost killed by the entire army sent by the Covenant to kill me only to just appear here afterwards. When I first got here I thought the Covenant teleported me somewhere else just so they could take my current position. But I soon realized I was somewhere else when that dam Vampire defeated me and experimented on me, say he needed to understand how my species worked so he could make his own variation of it. I of course managed to escape before he could finish. Around that time I got so weird voice in my head telling me something.

Unique Skill Lone Wolf Acquired

Unique Skill Survivor Acquired

I'm still not sure what that means but my armor is still in that castle and I plan to get it back eventually, but I lack the proper equipment to do it. Still it has been so long that I don't even remember my own name. After I escaped and defeated some weak human like monsters that Vampire must have created I hid in the city for a while. It must have been weeks of being on the run but he must have succeeded in doing so because normal humans started to appear soon after and I hid among them from my pursuers. Mostly in the orphanage that housed the kids since I was still considered young by most peoples metrics. That's where I met Cathy but most people called her Cat for short. It brought up old memories for me but I didn't allow it to affect my current objective of returning home. She seemed content with just letting me take the lead in negotiations here at least. Anyway to the story, I helped the orphanage to keep my cover and trained the kids in basic techniques to defend themselves. It took a few years but I managed to do it and they all managed to get jobs to feed themselves as well. Soon after that they started to ask me who I was and how I knew what I did but every time I always answered the same, it's classified information. But as I traveled around trying to acquire new information to use for myself and the kids I learned that I really knew very little. So I came back to base to start studying this new information only for today to happen. I'm kind of glad for the extraction out this thing gave us since I could have gotten out alone but with baggage I doubt I could have. He soon at least answered my questions at least since I knew it wasn't human from how it moved to its confidence both were evidence enough for me. He could be a spy but my intuition rarely failed me so I went with it especially after he said that line from that game. I never played but Cat did since she was summoned like me.

The Thing- "I'm from earth in the early 2010s much earlier than you are and yes I'm not human anymore."

Six- "So did that Vampire make you an experiment then so he could change your race then?"

The Thing- "No, I'm just someone who died and reincarnated as a slime instead of being summoned like you were."

Six- "I see then so you are more like Cat then. So what's your name then?"

Rimuru- "I'm Rimuru Tempest and I plan to make a country in the future so that the constant wars stop on this world, want to help me I could use your help?"

Six- "I'm not sure if I can trust you so easily Rimuru. You could be lying or worse a monster that ate the man by that name. So prove you are the otherworlder as I call people like us, and you can call me Six. I don't really have a name anymore."

Rimuru's POV

So he is very cautious and a soldier of the future too. How do I prove that I'm not what he says I could be?

Ciel- "Report. It is likely most terms associated with otherworlders and older magic books were made by this individual. He seems to be the first summon in the world by individual Luminious's father."

Wow so he is both smart and dangerous. No wonder those old books were write as if they were military reports. They probably were along with basic arts being made by him too. He doesn't even trust me with his real name either. Like what kind of name is Six anyway, he is definitely testing me.

Ciel- "Individual Six has no name and is a sage with two unique skills. The best method to the individuals question is to answer with something that only an otherworlder has, show off your skills dear."

That's right all otherworlders besides kids with weaker egos get a unique skill of their own. If I killed the individual then I couldn't have used the skill that person had. There are ways of course but he wouldn't know that yet. So I showed off one of the many unique skills I had so he would question me too much. I even made it a flashy one so he would discredit my small white lie to him.

Six- "Alright you have proven that you're an otherworlder and proven my theory true. So every person summoned here gets a unique skill of their own, and as the name implies it's unique to the individual too."

Rimuru- "Not exactly, it depends on the persons ego more than anything else. If they are too weak willed or young then they will only acquire energy instead. This energy can even kill them if not properly controlled or contained."

Six- "So you know more than even I do. If so then is there a way to go home too?"

Rimuru- "No, not yet. One day though if people research it enough they might be able to by themselves. Some skills allow people to travel and teleport through space even time so nothing seems impossible here."

Six- "So this world is not limited by anything less than imagination then for skills. It sucks I probably won't live long enough to see it then."

Rimuru- "I could help you live longer or even make you immortal if you want but only if you work for me." (Finally got to what I wanted this discussion at he was dragging me around for a minute there.)

Six- "I have worked for someone my whole life done questionable things. You sure you want me working for you?"

Rimuru- "Your a soldier. It should be expected that you needed to make tough decisions in the line of duty. So do we have a deal. You help me make my country when the time is right and I help you live long enough to see war end on this world, or even help you go home when it's possible. (Can't tell him I could send him home right now after all.)

Six- "I'm willing to go along with this just help me also take care of the poor souls that I'm taking care of too. Do so and Spartan Noble 6 the Grim Reaper is at your service."

Rimuru- "Ya I will welcome to the Cardinal world by the way. It's what people call this world. Also you can call yourself..." I had to think of a good name for such a useful guy working for me. Especially if he didn't have a name. Also that title is awesome who gave it to him though. Anyway a name, hmm, ah maybe Ronrufu for lone wolf, no to on the nose. Ah Riaku for Reach maybe that would work and combine the two then. "You can call yourself."

Authors Notes

Please help me translate back to English please need help with it man. Just Spartan Reach as a name if you can. Like how Ranga is storm fang in the story.

Short yes but I need the community's help for this endeavor.
