** Main character POV **
Shimizu Ariya is 18 years old typical male teenager that can be found in the country of Japan. The daily life of this teenager is nothing special without any event or encounter that can be considered big.
Despite that, Ariya is the type of person that really smart and eager to learn anything new or unknown to him. That kind of spirit has made him easy to learn anything that picks his interest.
One day, on his way to return from school, Ariya has come across with a cat that nearly drowning in the riverbed. Without thinking of anything, Ariya jumps off in order to rescue that cat but sadly both of them drown and die in that incident.
Ariya view has become dark and he cannot see anything besides his own body. It seems that the surrounding area has changed.
Voice: Welcome young man, it seems you have died in your previous life. Hehehe
Ariya: What? Who there, where am I?
Voice: You can call me God.
Ariya: God? Like Izanami and other?
Voice: No-no, I'm a god from another world. Thus, the reason we meet here is that I will bring you to my world for the second chance.
Speechless and despair Ariya stand frozen in his place because his mind cannot process all the sudden fact that his just die. After calming his own body and soul, Ariya opens his mouth to ask a few questions.
After few words Ariya manages to know that the reason why he chooses to be reincarnated into that world is that of the condition of that world is really bad, the god needs to bring a person that has the higher positive energy to bring balance to that world.
God: that is the reason I pick you Ariya-Kun, will you come to my world?
Ariya: what should I do after being sent there?
God: nothing, just have the life just the way you want.
Not only he can live once again, but he doesn't need to care about anything and got nothing to do in that world like slaying demon lord or save the world. This is a good opportunity for him, Ariya can have his life just like he wants.
Ariya: okay then, I agree to be sent there.
God: thank you Ariya, now before that, do you have any kind of skill that you want?
Ariya: well then, I already have few basic ideas what kind of skill I want to have.
The discussion about skill for Ariya is been in long and deep talk between him and god from the new world. After a few hours, the discussion has come to its conclusion and without any problem, Ariya is being transferred to that new world.

** Currently timeline **
Ariya: what happens, where are my body and another part of it? What in world is happening g to me?
A voice that Ariya familiar with echo in his ear.
God: because we forget to decide what kind of race to reincarnate you so I just decide to make you as a slime.
God: don't be demotivate Ariya, you should have fun in my world.
The voice now is gone.
That explains why he cannot move for a few days, he has been reincarnating not as a human but as a slime. Try to be positive Ariya remember few mangas that he read that slime can be strong after eating and devour the enemy.
Trying to figure on how to view his status Ariya is trying few kinds of act and keyword, finally be able to open his status window and with extra care, he inspects his own status to see if he can become like slime in his favourite manga.

*krukkk
The sound from his stomach can be heard to his own not exists ear. For now, his main priority is to find some food to eat and fresh water to avoid dehydration.
But the main problem is, he doesn't even know what is slime eat in order to survive, based on the manga he read some slime are eat poop in order to live.
He can't accept the fact that maybe he needs to eat poop to survive thus, he decides to have a little walk around his current location to search for a food to live.
The forest is really thick and full of large tree, walking around aimlessly Ariya can't throw his fear for being lost inside the forest. Then, he came across a small tree and have few fruits on it.
At first, Ariya is afraid to eat that fruit because he doesn't have proof to show those fruits is not poisonous fruit. After a few minutes thinking, some deer looking animal come and eat that berries, seeing that deer don't show any bad effects after eating that berries Ariya take a few bites on that fruits.
Store few berries inside his inventory, Ariya keep walking into the forest and then he found out a place where many small eggs being together. The shell is just like the one he in before, it seems that Ariya has found a place where slime lay its own egg.
Ariya: I have found my home it seems. I should take a tour to see if there any slime that I can communicate with and ask the information about the location I am now.
*Smack
Suddenly he can hear the sound of a broken egg when Ariya turns his body around he can't help but too afraid because now he can see a huge lizard-like monster. It has two horn on his head and there is a scar on his left eye and that lizard is eating slime egg. Ariya quickly knows that this beast is eating slime egg and slime as part of its diet.
That lizard is as big as a car and the whole body is cover with armour-like scales. Based on the look it seems impossible to pierce through that armour.
Without wasting time Ariya quickly run away leaving what he just found and the chances to look for information, for now, his top priority is to run somewhere safe. Looking at his back it seems that the lizard does not interest in chasing him and it prefers to eat those egg.
The sun is getting low and the view is becoming dark, Ariya needs to find shelter a place where he can sleep. The option he has is just to climb up the tree but it fails miserably, the last option is to cover his entire body with mud and pretend to be rock. For now, he needs to bear with this kind of condition in order to survive for the night.
