The Son's Reincarnation

Note #1: First time writing, so don't expect much. If you find something that could be improved, please point it out, because otherwise my brain will just fail to understand what I need to do to get better.

#2: Quick points about Rimuru: Because I'm incredibly indecisive, Rimuru will be asexual and won't identify as any gender. I'll refer to Rimuru as he/him because it's faster to type. I you want, imagine him as any gender you want. It won't make much of a difference. Another point, he'll go through infantile regression at some time in the story. He's also less of an idiot. Finally, there'll be a bigger point to look forward to that I won't reveal here.

Now, please enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Excuse me, I'm dying? Okay, I can use this.

'Blood. So much blood. How much do I have left?', Satoru thought. 'I hope I don't need blood. I don't want to need something that runs out so easily.'

Will confirmed. A body without need for blood has been constructed.

'Hot. So hot. Then cold, oh so cold. I don't like this feeling,' the man with a knife through his spine thought.

Will confirmed. Heat Resistance acquired. Cold Resistance acquired. Heat Resistance and Cold Resistance have combined into extra skill Thermal Fluctuation Resistance.

'I know it's not my fault, but it's a shame I never managed to become the Great Sage I always heard about. I even had a handy cheat to help me out.'

Will confirmed. Unique Skill Great Sage acquired.

'Ahh, and that takeaway. It seems I won't live to see it delivered. What a shame. I always loved the taste of those chips. I want to eat more. More.'

Will Confirmed. Unique Skill Predator acquired.

'Hmm? Wait, isn't this like what happens in a light novel, or manga?! I see.' Satoru blinked in a surprise, then he thought of something. The previous thoughts hadn't took too much time, so he still had enough blood left to exploit this situation.

'So, Almighty Voice-san? If you don't mind, I'd personally love to have resistance to physical attacks so I don't get killed by stabbing again, as I assume I'm gonna be reincarnated. Next, I don't want pain, so get rid of that please? Also, being unable to move would be bad, so resistance to being paralyzed might be handy. Actually, all bad things that are like status conditions in a game aren't very good, since they're bad, so can I just have all of them be ineffective? Thanks!'

Will confirmed. Physical Attack Resistance, Pain Nullification, and Paralysis Resistance have been acquired. Paralysis Resistance has evolved into Abnormal Condition Resistance.

Satoru grinned, which spooked the crowd, especially Tamura. Oh right, Tamura. I wonder how he's reacting to all this. Satoru thought with worry. Tamura, while he is a bit annoying and loves to boast, was his junior corporate slave. He didn't want him to worry so much for him. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn his head, currently have a knife in his spine an' all. So instead, he weakly muttered:

"Tamura, take my PC if you want it. Anything in my apartment is yours, just keep your girlfriend happy..."

Though unable to see it, he could feel the guilt on Tamura's face. He just hoped the poor guy could get through it.

Pushing through the feeling of pity he felt when he heard Tamura's tears fall to the ground, he thought: 'wait, aren't I forgetting something... Oh yeah, Almighty Voice-san, can I keep my current abilities too?' Satoru pleaded.

Will Confirmed. C_ Energy condensing into Unique Skill The Son. Completed.

Thanks, he thought, and with that he let death overcome him and lead him onto his new life. However, he didn't fail to miss the final voice directed at him in that life:

Good luck, little one. And to you all, leave Veldora-kun to him.

Though unable to comprehend the last part, Satoru's soul felt the coldness of absolute zero, the searing heat of a star, a childish curiosity, and a gentle, divine smile. Beyond that, a stuttering storm, blushing in embarrassment.

With living no longer being a function of the stabbed man's dead body, the crowd was silent, frozen, and pitied the young man and his senior.

"Really, what was I thinking then? Such poor decision-making skills..." a godly beauty with silver-blue hair and golden eyes muttered, disappointed in... herself?

Next Chapter: Oh, you're the Veldora guy Voice-san mentioned.
