Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
- Venom Story

I don't remember my own name.

But what I remember can be called the memory of my previous life.

It seems like it was a faint memory when I was still human.

Apparently, I seem like an orphan.

I go to a place called school regularly and stupidly…

Before I knew it, I had been reduced to a fool who ruled others through violence.

As a result, I was stabbed to death by an opponent in a dispute.

With the general story, I think it's the right ending for me.

So my life is over .. I don't know if it's there or not, but I'm going to the afterlife, or I should have――

When I woke up, I was bobbing in a place I didn't know very well.

It was a world full of darkness, but strangely, many things could be seen clearly.

I don't feel hungry, and there's no such thing as pain and suffering.

I am just a washed-up existence.

When I look around Me, I feel a floating existence similar to Me.

I wonder if those people have the same memories.

I have not disputed anything about my previous life and have only been swept away for a long time without doing anything.

To distract Me from boredom, I focus My consciousness on a floating existence similar to Me.

From the bottom of my body, I could feel the power flowing out.

I seem to exist as a mass of energy.

As in the darkness filled with saturated energy, the overflowing energy from my body probably won't leak.

How can I explain it so that it is easy to understand?

I can't explain it well because I don't have the knowledge, but it's like sugar crystallizing in sugar water, I think our existence is like that.

I could understand the use of that energy subconsciously.

I can move towards I shift my focus, without a sound.

I call another consciousness.

However, there is no response.

The other party does not have something called consciousness. It seemed like it was a lump of power that only existed.

It broke and scattered when I hit it for being unattractive.

Somewhat interesting, I remember thinking about that.

After that, long enough, I spent my daily life searching for a floating existence similar to Me and destroying it one by one.

The spectacle was clear to see as if it was daytime, despite the fact that the light did not shine in the darkness.

I'm used to such a world, besides there's nothing else I can do, so I keep doing the same thing every day.

Then change happens to life like that.

I met a strange man.

「Yo, brother. Don't be so rude. Raging too much is also boring, you know? 」

That person was different from people without Will, he could speak with words.

I was shocked, and looked at the person without saying anything.

Words, well actually are not words, it can be understood as Telepathy (Mind Communication) [1].

However, I didn't even know that there was anyone with Will at the time.

How else would I be surprised.

「Hey, hey, what's with that surprised face? Are you working too hard by an unpleasant guy on the Surface? [2]

If it was a disgusting Summoner, it was fine to beat him to death.

Or is the opponent too strong? If yes, how else. Just give up.”

Saying such a thing, that person giggled.

ADVERTISMENTS

SCROLL TO RESUME CONTENT

A cheerful man.

After that, I learned a lot from that guy.

This world is the Underworld.

In other words, this world could also be called Hell.

It was the Spiritual World, the home of demons that had no physical body.

I was in a world like that.

It seems I am a Little Devil.

the devil is an existence like a spirit or an angel. It seemed that it was an existence that received the acceptance of the powers of Darkness spirit, and specialized in demonic attributes.

Similarly, Angels specialize in the holy attributes of the spirit of Light, the exception to this seems to be called Spirit.

For me, it's a story that doesn't matter.

We don't have a personal name.

There seemed to be very few people with names, even among high-level existences.

However, I have no problem.

Because I can think, I can understand whether My consciousness is suitable for it or not.

But since there is no name, there seems to be little attachment to oneself.

There are some exceptions, if we are summoned several times to the surface, we can become an ego-cloak existence after coming into contact with the world.

Call out.

It means being called to the material world of the spiritual world.

By getting a temporary body, surface enjoyment can be tasted.

It is smell, touch and taste.

I can gather enough information to control the world.

A demon summoned without an ego seems to be influenced by the personality of the Summoner master.

Different types of information are received from the caller side.

According to the contents of the request, it looks like I can get a lump of information called “Jiwa”. *

We can evolve into higher beings if we collect a lot of “Jiwa”.

Calling is choosing the appropriate one among the many demons.

The place was close by, and the demon with the corresponding rank for the quest seemed to be chosen naturally.

Looks like we got enough information after we were summoned.

First of all, ego comes up.

And we can gain great power by being summoned many times.

the devil came and said to me,

「Hehehe, I've been called three times, you know? How many times have you been called, brother? 」

I don't know what's funny, but I heard him laughing recklessly.

Somehow, I'm very angry.

I hit that guy.

「Brother, what are you doing!?」

The man struck back at me angrily, and after that we fought continuously and exchanged blows for several days.

Instead of hitting each other with our fists, we were throwing energy at each other and making the other party pile up damage.

In my mind, hitting is the right expression.

In the end, there is no conclusion.

However,

「Yo, brother. You're powerful. I'll call you Aniki starting today. 」

Because that person understood, the fight was over.

Not a fight, it was an outburst of my one-sided anger.

I want to go to Surface too.

At that moment I felt an increasing desire.

the senseless devil is unattractive.

Our targets are those with egos and have experienced summoning to the Surface several times.

Every day, we do nothing but ―― fight ―― fight.

But, there doesn't seem to be anyone as unusual as Me, there are also some who have come from afar to fight with Me.

And before I knew it, My comrades had reached 100 and the region of this world became My territory.

Without realizing it, I have evolved into a Greater Demon.

I noticed this when I directly killed my opponent in the fight.

I felt a great power, different from the one I had before, flowing throughout My body.

I am not invincible.

So, I was too arrogant back then.

I, who have evolved, gained Unique Skills 『Integrator [3]』.

With respect to his ancestor — that I have since I was born — Unique Skills 『Share [4]』, it is a skill with great usability

When I hit something, it broke into pieces. This seemed to be the result of the power of division.

I thought maybe this ability was generated due to the trauma of being stabbed and slashed in my previous life.

Well, that's an unimportant matter.

If the opponent is not comparable to me, then they cannot go against my strength.

Moreover, it was easy to increase the number of subordinates since it was possible for me to assimilate opponents and then divide them.

How else would I be arrogant, right?

And then, the man showed up.

Ever since I was in this world, I felt fear for the first time.

The existence of a truly powerful being is engraved in my soul.

the devil with red hair.

He appears before us, and easily sweeps us away as if we were nothing but insects.

My Followers and I were annihilated.

「Fumu. There's no fight. Boring”

Along with fear, I felt hatred emanating from the depths of My heart.

My subordinate, my partner is…!

In the midst of anger, an ability was awakened within me.

《Confirmed. Unique Expertise Acquisition 『Regenerator [5]』 ??? Succeed.》

Further away from division and integration.

I experienced my astral body (spirit body) regenerate in an instant.

Die up!

I looked towards the red-haired demon and was full of emotion,

「Oh? Are you still alive? 」

“The waves of Division” I fired quickly dispersed, and my astral body was smashed to pieces.

Our status is too different.

After that, I regenerated once more and I swore revenge.

I kept chasing after him many times and challenged the demon for a rematch.

「Kufufufufu. How interesting! There's still people with backbones, huh?

Good.

My name is Diablo.

With the name given by the great master, I will show you a little bit of My seriousness! 」

The End of the World (Collapse of the World)

At that time, I must have experienced the end of the world.

Initially, people like Me are “things that are not needed”, I can understand that there is no need to use them.

Ah, the status is too different.

But I do not regret it, I feel a satisfaction that I have not felt until now along with death…

But I never met him.

When I manifested in the world of the Surface for the first time, I was summoned by that person, Diablo.

And in front of me was a monster.

If you compare it to the knowledge from my previous life, such a small creature should be called Slime.

However, towards that Slime, Diablo-sama, who should be an absolute existence, knelt down.

Simple reason.

Even a fool I can understand

The slime was in a different dimension.

I can agree with why Diablo-sama praises him as “God” every day. [6]

It was not excessive, it was an untainted truth.

Like Me, those who receive baptism from Diablo-sama, kneel identically.

I understand that there is someone superior to Me, but I do not mind this treatment.

Previously Diablo-sama was people who were no different from me.

I agree that it's natural.

『These people used to be my colleagues …

Since they were crying and swearing that they wanted to be useful to Rimuru-sama by all means, I thought of allowing them to accompany Me 』

Diablo-sama's voice resounded in the distance.

This person, for sure, will be our true master!

And simultaneously, at the same time,

『We, are loyal servants of Demon King Rimuru. We are waiting for your instructions! 』

We pledge our allegiance to “King of Devils (God)” in front of us.

And, I even gained great power.

「Your name is,” Venom “. Alright, please work hard 」

Rimuru-sama spoke to me in a friendly manner in a relaxed manner.

And so I got it, a new name.

My name is Venom.

The devil who promised his loyalty to Rimuru-sama.

I have achieved evolution and accepted the physical body in this world.

A new body and new strength.

I became an Arc Demon (Superior Demon General), I have evolved into an existence with a different class.

However, I am aware of one fact, even after gaining this much power, I have currently not reached Diablo-sama's feet.

But, I can still grow stronger!

In the capsule in the back, my former friends fell asleep in their newly acquired bodies.

The one who will be my subordinate.

I will lead the unit under Diablo-sama's direct control.

A female-type demon with dark red hair named Testarossa was designated as Diablo-sama's right hand.

He, who was originally strong, saw his strength increase just like I had.

I cannot match him now.

But, I don't need to be impatient.

I can still grow stronger.

And then, someday I will become Diablo-sama's right-hand man and offer this world to Rimuru-sama.

My name is Venom.

A man who will one day stand beside Diablo-sama!

After that, Venom greatly increased his strength, and was feared as a grueling demon and slaughtered a hostile enemy.
