Slime in the Sewers

Chapter 1: Slime in the Sewers

Drip! Drip!

Thick, foul-smelling liquid slowly dripped from the cracks in the moss-covered walls. The sound of the water droplets hitting the ground echoed in the dark, gloomy space. This dim area was piled high with rotten vegetable leaves, spoiled eggs, decaying meat, and all sorts of unidentifiable objects. In fact, patches of foul-smelling excrement floated on the murky, viscous water not far away.

The stench of decay filled the entire space. Due to the lack of ventilation, the accumulated stench had been building for who knows how many years, reaching a point where even low-level monsters like Goblins couldn't stand it.

They would rather live in more dangerous places than stay in this stinking, filth-ridden area. After all, this environment could genuinely stink a monster to death!

Plop!

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the opening above, landing heavily in the river of excrement. In the dim space, one could only vaguely see the dark shadow struggling for a few moments. However, after not long, a strange swallowing sound was heard, and the dark shadow completely ceased to move.

Just then, in this space where even Goblins refused to live, clumps of creatures with streamlined bodies emerged from the corners. After hopping and skipping across various obstacles, they swarmed into the black river.

A few minutes later, the dark shadow that had just fallen was completely enveloped by these round, liquid-like creatures. More and more of these creatures continued to join them from the river, participating in this feast that belonged only to them.

"So, what's my situation now?"

At this moment, on the only relatively clean patch of ground in the corner, a basketball-sized liquid creature did not instinctively leap towards the river like its newly born kin beside it. Instead, it remained quietly in place, as if perceiving the world it was in.

"What is this thing?"

Suddenly, the liquid creature, cautiously sensing its surroundings, trembled. Even in the dim space, one could clearly see ripples spreading across its plump body. At this moment, in the vision of the creature, which could only vaguely perceive the world, a phantom light screen appeared before its eyes.

Name: Nameless Monster (Lu Minghao) Race: Slime Talent: [Encounter from Another World] (Red): You, who came from another world, possess truly infinite potential. Ability 1: Plunder the origin of the world. After accumulating a certain degree, you can traverse other worlds at the cost of consuming world origin. Ability 2: Upon traversing to a new world, you will randomly obtain a new purple talent. [Gluttony] (Purple): You possess a bottomless stomach and digestive ability. Due to your racial characteristics, you can devour both organic and inorganic matter. You will fully absorb the nutrients from the devoured substances to accelerate your growth speed, and you have a chance to acquire a portion of their abilities. [Slime Physique] (White): As a Slime, you naturally possess a liquid-like body, requiring no breathing or sleep. You can feed with any part of your body, are immune to some weak physical attacks, and possess asexual reproduction capabilities.

"So, I not only died, but after crossing worlds, I've become a non-human?"

The Slime, or rather Lu Minghao, stared blankly at the familiar text on the panel. Question marks formed on its liquid body.

In his last memory, he was walking down the street, engrossed in his phone, when he suddenly heard a commotion. Looking up, he saw a runaway truck loaded with goods hurtling towards him. The next second, his vision went black, and he felt as if his body had exploded, with something spraying out of him. He then heard the chaotic sounds of the crowd all around.

"As expected of the famous transmigration artifact, the big truck. It truly lives up to its reputation."

Recalling his previous memories and combining them with his current situation, Lu Minghao had a rough idea of what had happened. He had been out for a stroll and was accidentally sent off by the transmigration artifact, the big truck. Then, inexplicably, he had arrived in this world, transformed into a Slime, and even awakened his talent abilities.

That's right!

What Lu Minghao saw earlier were not the so-called systems from the novels he usually read, but the talent [Encounter from Another World] that he awakened for some unknown reason upon transmigrating to this world. Below it, [Gluttony] was a new talent awakened after crossing into this world due to [Encounter from Another World], while [Slime Physique] was inherent to his current body.

Talents were ranked from Red as the highest to White as the lowest, with a total of five levels: Red, Orange, Purple, Blue, and White. Among these, except for the top-tier talents, all others would strengthen as Lu Minghao grew. Furthermore, these were merely talents and did not directly grant Lu Minghao immense power. This meant that even with these talents, he was still just a weak Slime.

However, compared to ordinary Slimes, he possessed truly infinite potential.

As for why the talents appeared in a panel format, it was simply because Lu Minghao's instinct felt it was easier to understand this way. If he wanted, he could easily change it to any other form, even having a loli appear in his consciousness and interact with him.

"Wait! If I'm a Slime now, doesn't that mean my previous body is still in the original world? What about my phone, computer, browser, hidden hard drive, and all those software?"

In the next second, all the newly born Slimes in the dim space, who were instinctively leaping towards the distance, stopped and looked at their fellow creature scurrying in place. Its round body, though lacking eyes, gave the impression of staring at something. However, with the Slimes' weak intelligence, they couldn't understand what Lu Minghao was doing. They only stopped because they instinctively felt the air vibrate.

After realizing there was no danger, they turned and leaped towards the viscous, excrement-filled river surface. The newly born Slimes instinctively craved to feed and gain nourishment.

"Forget it, let it be. Anyway, the 'me' from that world is already dead. Even if I have a chance to return to that world in the future, I'm just a Slime now. What does the human Lu Minghao have to do with me, a Slime?"

As the newly born Slimes majestically went to have their first meal of their Slime lives, Lu Minghao calmed down. Indeed, he was just a Slime now, so what did his past matter? He would never admit to the contents of his computer and phone from before!

"But, what world am I in now? Since Slimes exist, does that mean other monsters, mages, knights, and the like also exist in this world? Wouldn't that mean Beast-eared girls, Centaur girls, Elves, and big sister Succubi also exist!"

In the next second, Lu Minghao's round body swayed, and a series of indescribable images appeared in his mind.

A new journey begins. Daidai has diarrhea today and can't hold on. I'll update one chapter first, and three chapters tomorrow!
