At the moment, it has been 90 days since I have reincarnated.
To be precise, 90 days, 7 hours, 34 minutes, and 52 seconds.
How can I be so sure? It’s a function of the unique skill [Great Sage].
Iya~, this skill sure is convenient! [Great Sage] Saves The Day! ‘Cause it answers any question.
According to it, for the skill to establish itself in this body 90 days are needed. And that would be “establish” in this world’s sense.
I mean, I was sure that I had possessed that skill since the beginning, but that was true only regarding my soul.
Until now, it had been accessing and usurping the “Voice of the World”, or so it explained.
But damn I didn’t get any of that.
It seems that normally a convenient skill that answers any question doesn’t exist.
The “Voice of the World” is only audible when the world changes, a skill is acquired, or undergoes an [Evolution].
To answer my questions, the [Great Sage] skill had been appropriating that particular function.
I hadn’t heard of such an existence in my world, but it seems to be pretty normal here.
In any case, things like skill acquisition and [Evolution] are not everyday occurrences. When the world had recognized significant growth – and in rare cases! – it will grant a skill. [Evolution], on the other hand, transcends the common sense.
Well… still am not certain whether I really got any of that, but nothing to do but to accept it.
Although [Great Sage] now answers any question, it is passive and lack an ego.
If I don’t talk to it, it won’t come asking questions. And that’s a shame.
However, I am just happy to have a one-way conversation with someone.
Though talking to my own skill… most would call me simply delusional, eh?
.
And so, since I had nothing else to do in this darkness, I kept asking questions.
As a result, I have confirmed that I am, in fact, a slime (Viscous Life-form = Non-rare life-form).
Lack of hunger and need to sleep had also been explained.
The slimes of this world dine on magical energy, and thus have no need for physical nourishment. Where there is poor energy concentration, monsters and small animals serve as an alternative.
And so in this world, unexpectedly, the slimes of energy deprived regions are extremely violent and strong. Woudn’t you expect regions with abundant energy be homes to strong monsters instead?
In other words, where I am now is a place where food is unnecessary.
That explained, about sleep,
<<Solution. Slime bodies are a composition of identical cells. Every cell serves as brain cell, nerve ending, and muscle at the same time.
Thus, as thought process is undertaken by different cell at different times, sleep is unnecessary>>
And that was that.
So where are my memories stored?
At the very least, it seems not to be at a HDD RAID like structure, no?
When thinking that, I got a <<Seems to be around somewhere>> response.
This [Great Sage] guy seems pretty good at holding conversation.
(TL Note: the term used here is Aizuchi, which refers to interjecting into a monologue with a short phrase to indicate understanding)
And so, I got to wondering what the effects of [Great Sage] were…
<<Solution. Unique skill [Great Sage] has the following effects…
Thought: Raise thought processing speed by a thousand times.
Analysis and Judgment: the ability to analyze and make judgments regarding a target.
Parallel Processing: the ability to detach thoughts and analysis of phenomenon.
Chant annulment: When using magic, the chant is no longer necessary.
All of Creation: The ability comprehend any non-concealed phenomenon in this world.
These five are your abilities>>
And that was that.
But, all of creation? Could it be that I have obtained all the knowledge in the world without lifting a finger?! Or so I thought but…
In reality, depending on the information I understand and the things I know about, additional information can be inferred.
In other words, I need to see it at least once, but for the matters that I have seen–those I understand through this power.
But, chant annulment… So after learning a skill, I do not need to recite anything? More importantly, there’s magic in this world!!!
The answer is [YES].
With this in mind, there is no need to memorize magic.
Tried to see if that would work with [Great Sage], and of course, it didn’t. Why did I try? Cause YOLO.
And then I got an idea.
Could I link together [Predator]’s analysis and [Great Sage]’s parallel processing?
<<Solution. Linking [Predator]’s analysis and [Great Sage]’s parallel processing is possible. Will you link the abilities? [YES]/[NO]?>>
Of course, [YES]!
But well, it’s not like I have anything to analyze… wait a second!
That which has been collecting in my stomach–the grass I ate to kill time. What is it? Since I got nothing to do anyways, might as well analyze it.
And so, execute the skill at once!
