How long have I been in this darkness? Months? Years? Centuries? I can't even tell anymore, the concept of time seems to be lost in this infinite darkness. Even my memories of my past life have faded away. My parents, my friends, I wouldn't even be able to tell you what I looked like if you asked me. I'm honestly surprised I haven't gone insane yet from being in this void for so long.
Would you like to become the first Gamer?
Yes/No
Yep, I'm finally going crazy. It was about time.
You are not going crazy.
A monotone voice reverberated in my head. Being in the void for so long, I talk to myself all the time, but it's normally nothing like this.
Obviously, because I am not you.
Oh shit, did you just read my mind?
I am in your mind idiot.
Oh. Soo… are you a god or something.
I am a Cosmic Entity. Calling me a god would be downplaying it.
A super god then? Ok, so Mr. super god…
Like I said, im no-
. . .are you here to take me out of this void? As much as I've bonded with this place I have to say it's kind of boring.
That would be the case.
And don't call me super god. You may call me the System
Ok… so System, what is a gamer. I don't know how good I am at gaming I am, but I think I might be pretty good at Mario Kart.
How is it that you don't remember any of the most crucial parts of your life but you still remember Mario Kart of all things?
But no, that's not the type of gamer I am talking about.
A Gamer is a person who travels the different worlds of the Multiverse
As a gamer, you have the potential to become the most powerful being in existence-
Really?!
Without hesitation, I mentally pick the Yes option. I would be a fool to let this opportunity go to waste, the No option is greyed out too so I don't have much choice anyway.
You really like cutting me off, don't you?
Well, it's good that you have decided on what you are going to do.
Wait… what's the catch?
I mean nobody gets this kind of power for no reason. I am just asking what yours is.
As you get stronger, so do I.
I am a symbiote. . .
… I need a host to survive and get stronger otherwise I will constantly get weaker and eventually die.
As you get stronger, so do I.
It's a mutual agreement.
Okay… that makes more sense.
It doesn't affect me negatively in any way, so I don't really care.
Well then, let's get started, shall we?
Skills Gained
[Gamer's Mind] (Passive)
Allows you to remain calm in all situations.
Grants immunity to psychological status effects
Does not change your personality.
[Gamer's Body] (Passive)
Allows you to live life like a game.
[Observe] (Passive)
Allows you to gain information about target
Is that why I'm so calm?
No, that's just a result of you spending an extremely long time in the void.
That's good… I guess?
One more thing before we start
All of a sudden I felt a surge of memories resurface in my mind. Math equations I had forgotten, languages that I had studied, the games I had played, the anime I had watched. Everything just came back.
W-woah… that felt surreal.
To explain I just gave back some of your basic memories from your previous life.
It will allow you to better navigate through the different worlds.
I see… thanks.
Now that that's done, let's start character creation.
Select a race.
[Human] [?] [?] [?]
What are the question marks about?
They can be anything.
Literally. Anything.
Oh shit, this is hard. On one hand, I could become some godly race, but on the other hand, I might become something like a potato
Fucking potatoes.
Well, you only live one. Go question mark!
[?]
Wouldn't you like to know?
Are you serious?! You are not going to tell me?
You have to wait till you arrive in your world. It adds to the fun.
I made a glare with my non-existent face.
Fuck you.
Heh. The feelings are mutual.
Select a class.
[Fighter] [Rogue] [Mage] ][Support]
While I would love to be an assassin type character and pick Rogue, I don't think it will provide me with much power to fight head-on. I'm tempted to pick a fighter because of the chance I can wield a sword, but magic is just too much to pass.
I pick Mage.
Select specialization.
[Elemental Mage] [Necromancer] [Illusionist] [Summoner] [Psychic*]
There are different specifications? I was originally thinking it would only be like Elemental Mage, but I guess I was wrong. Necromancer and Summoner sound interesting, I'm a lazy person, and having people fight my battles for me would be a godsend. I would pick one of those if it were not for the psychic class. Being able to move things with my mind. The thought made me shudder.
Class Gained
[Psychic] - Level 1
Gains 3 INT and 2 WIS every level.
[Telekinesis] (Novice) Level 1/20
You are a novice at using telekinesis.
Uses 50 MP per second.
Can lift 10 lbs
[Invisible Shield]
Creates an invisible barrier around you protecting you from attacks.
Defends (200+INTx2) Damage
70 MP
[Invisible Platform]
Creates an invisible platform that can be used for various purposes.
[Invisible Hands]
Creates Invisible hands.
(INTx1) Meters
50 MP
I can't wait to try these.
Next is the Game of Misfortune
You get the chance to pick a random flaw for a random perk or skill.
Can the flaws be removed?
With time, yes. The flaws can be removed.
Don't think it's easy though.
Well, let's see what I am working with
Flaw Added
[Sin of Sloth]
Why work when you can sleep?
You are extremely slothful.
Perk Added
[Mana Generator]
MP regen and MP gains from WIS and INT are doubled.
Reputation gains increased.
Sin of Sloth sounds so… troublesome. I'm already lazy so I guess it doesn't change much.
But I can't bring myself to regret it, Mana Generator is going to be really useful.
Hit me again.
[ID Sealed]
You cannot access the Instant Dungeon feature
Skill Added
[Gluttony]
Allows you to take some of the fallen target's stats, destroying the body and effectively consuming them into your body.
Error: Prerequisite required.
Prerequisite Flaw Added
[Sin of Gluttony]
Eat, eat, and then eat a little more.
You are extremely Gluttonous.
Of course it came back to bite me.
I got greedy and I got 2 flaws instead of 1. I even lost the OP Instant dungeon that I was going to spend all my time in.
Gluttony is great and all(like really great), but it gives me a second flaw which is honestly bullshit if you ask me.
*Pfft* That's hilarious. The chances of getting 2 flaws is so low. I'm dying out of laughter right now.
Hearing you say that in your monotone voice is unnerving.
Anyway, I'm done with this game.
Okay, the world is pre-chosen so good luck.

I groan as I feel my consciousness come back to me.
I feel like shit.
No, I have to think positive.
First, let's assess the situation. I'm in a forest with huge trees, and I mean huge, what the hell are there trees on?! They are towering over me like skyscrapers, I feel puny!

Stats checke-
My blood ran cold as I fully processed the information that was written on the little screen in front of me. It wasn't from my trash tier stats, it wasn't from my lack of a name, oh no, it was from something completely different.
I quickly looked around to find the nearest reflective surface which was a small puddle and started moving towards it. To be honest, once I started moving I should have known that my fears are true and that I am really what the stats page says I am, the feeling of the ground under me, the small trail of green liquid that followed me as I moved, but I had to see it with my own eyes. I approach the puddle and look right into it, finding myself staring at a green blob.
Reality finally hit me.
Fuck
A/N
Ok, to be completely honest, I don't know where this story will go. It is obviously inspired by and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The only thing I am certain about is the personality of the MC. He won't be evil per se, but he will do what it takes to get to his goals, and that means killing. . . a lot of killing. He won't be evil for the sake of evil though.
As for updates, I don't know. I just made this fanfic as a fun little project so I don't know where I am going to go with it. I will update in the future, I just don't have a schedule or anything like that.
The world he is going to be in is the DXD verse as familiar in the familiar forest. I know DXD is a really popular verse for gamers to start in but I hope that the MC being a slime will help add some diversity. I don't know which world I will do next, but I am thinking I will do the Konosuba world after (if I get that far, probably not lol)
