I couldn’t be confident that such a risky experiment would be a complete success, but…

For some reason, a sudden surge of unidentifiable sadness touched my dry tear ducts.

“it hurts..”

Since I didn’t know that such a bitter feeling would arise in me, the overwhelming feeling of sadness transformed into tears and just fell endlessly.

It’s just… I’m so scared of being alone in this situation.

This moment of not knowing when I will die is so painful.

This experiment went wrong and I almost turned into a monster due to the side effects. I was so afraid.

The moment I witnessed Janes’ death right in front of me…

And the moment I accepted her death…

I was determined not to cry until the moment I survived, but all I could do was the tears streaming down my cheeks. It was miserable.

More than anything else, the thing that bothered me the most was none other than… the longing for my family.

The despair of having to do everything alone was clouding my eyes… It seemed like no situation could change as easily as my heart.

It’s just that, as I had made up my mind, these extreme emotional ups and downs were unfamiliar to me.

Clap.. Clap..

While I was treating the burn on my left hand with cold spring water, I once again noticed that the color of my right eye had changed through the reflected spring water.

＂My eyes have changed..＂

The raised voice, which seemed quite trembling, clearly expressed the embarrassment of the situation.

For me, my last memory before passing out was…

There was a sudden pain in the right eye and at the same time, it turned red. This was the last moment I could remember.

However, for some reason, the red eyes had returned to their original blue color, but the white part of the eye had discolored to black, showing a significant difference.

‘The front looks fine..?’

Naturally, the situation was not noticed at all because it had no effect on vision.

Still, I couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling, so I rolled my eyes here and there to check if there were any other problems, but fortunately, I was able to confirm that there were no other problems. I felt relieved.

“Of course.. this is a side effect, right?”

At that moment, a mysterious text window begins to appear quickly as if it had been waiting for this moment.

{Magic Power +2} {Intelligence +1}

{{You have earned the title. ＂One body with the monster＂ }}

{{The {condition not met} of the sixth sense has been met.}}

{{You can use the sixth sense {monomistic sense}.}}

I close the text window that pops up and check the [Ability Window] to check the newly activated {Sixth Sense} ability.

□{Sixth sense}▼ – {Conditions met}

Part of the senses of touch, taste, sight, hearing, and smell can be adjusted to a balanced level.

□{Tactile} 20%↕ □{Taste} 20%↕ □{Visual} 20%↕ □{Hearing} 20%↕ □{Smell} 20%↕

□ Demonic Sense: With the opened sixth sense, a new sense was acquired by safely implanting the refined magic stone of the [Slime] magic stone.

Addition – [Slime] slime can be created through the implanted magic stone, and not only can it be controlled freely, but it can also be used by transforming it into the properties of various minerals through {consumption}.

Just as I was about to read the description of the {Sixth Sense} ability…

Slippery…

The [Slime] magic stone with the attribute of “nothingness” implanted in my left hand exploded the magical power it had contained and at the same time began to distort the surrounding space.

＂What.. what..＂

A large amount of mucus, oozing out like sweat with an opaque glow, began to slowly accumulate on the palm of the hand between the burn scars on the left hand that seemed to have cracked.

＇This is… [Slime] Slime…?

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed because it was a situation that happened so naturally, not something I manipulated on my own, but when the phrase that came to mind, like the contents of the homunculus’ diary, that the characteristics of the monster were revealed when the monster’s magic stone was transplanted into the human body, I also thought about it. I could have thought that I was caught up in such a phenomenon.

And when I checked the description of the {monomous sense}, the sixth sense of {sixth sense} that appeared before my eyes, I was able to recognize once again that this was not a side effect, but my new ability.

It was just that it was my first time experiencing something like this, so I felt awkward about how I could control and sense it.

＇Feel it slowly..＇

‘it is not diffcult.’

In this way, I was able to quickly regain my composure while taking deep breaths again, and soon after confirming that the magic power flowing out was too much and I could not control it, I channeled the “nothing” attribute magic power of the magic stone in my left hand to my heart so that it could circulate naturally. encouraged to do so.

Although this process was also my first, I was able to complete it smoothly because there was no difference between unilaterally sending and accepting it.

＇As expected.. it’s incredible magical power.＇

‘I feel vitality rising in my body.’

Once again, I could feel that the [Slime] magic stone on my left hand and the magic stone near my heart were synchronized with each other.

＇Now the question is.. is this.?＇

Slippery…

An opaque colored slime that rises up on the palm of your hand, radiating its presence.

This slime, which maintained its oval shape and showed strong surface tension thanks to the magic power once injected, was perfectly bouncy, reminiscent of water drop rice cake.

Slippery…

I have created a pure [slime] slime that has both considerable elasticity and stickiness…

So I could definitely feel it.

The fact that your body has changed.

No… maybe the title “evolution” would be more appropriate.

‘It’s a strange feeling..’

It was also confirmed that [slime] slime, which has a strong acidity that can {ingest} even hard minerals, can be released as burn marks made of cracks, and that this can be reabsorbed.

‘Maybe I can {consume} steel with this.’

The moment I was looking at my left hand with such anticipation… I started to feel like something was wrong as I saw the movement of [Steel Slime] slowly rolling next to me.

＇As expected… if you {ingest} steel, it will be heavy, right?＇

Through the explanation of {Monological Sense}, I was able to find out that I could also use {Ingestion}, which allows you to digest minerals, which are a characteristic of [Slime], and substitute their properties. However, you cannot just {ingest} any mineral.

Therefore, I had no choice but to think for a moment as I took out Janes’ titanium dagger, which I always had at my waist.

[titanium]

Titanium ore is a very rare ore that is not easily found.

It is mainly buried deep in the ocean where magic power cannot reach, and because it is a metal with very high magic resistance, not just anyone can process it.

Popularly used iron and copper, or expensive aluminum, etc. are metals with a high purity that cannot be compared to other metals, and only the “Dwarf” race that knows how to handle the “ignition” property can process them. It is said that it can be done.

‘Since this is also a type of mineral… wouldn’t it be possible?’

I checked the [titanium] component of Janes’ dagger that came to mind once again using my {Check Information} ability, but as expected, rather than feeling like it couldn’t work at all, there was a possibility that it could work.

But for some reason.. I could feel it instinctively.

The fact is that it will not be easy to {take} this dagger.

This unidentifiable tingling feeling I felt from the moment I picked up the dagger with my right hand.

I could clearly sense that the [Slime] magic stone implanted in my left hand was rejecting this dagger made of [titanium].

That’s because it was possible to easily hunt the [Slime] magic stone with the attribute of “nothing” because it was Jane’s dagger made of [titanium].

Even if that’s the case, if there’s a reason why you can’t move willingly…

＇Janes…＇

It bothered me that Janes’ last relics were being used in this way.

It was just… I was anxious that traces of her would disappear from my side, but it was still a necessary choice in order to survive here.

‘If Janes were here… I definitely would have done it.’

＇To survive..＇

After a moment of hesitation, I made up my mind and carefully inserted the [titanium] dagger into the opaque slime that had risen in my left hand.

Cheee……

just as expected. Just like when I hunted [Slime] before, the surface made of mucus caused a rejection reaction and began to flow out, unable to maintain its shape, as if poison had been released.

In some ways, this may be a natural result.

“Then this is…”

However, this did not mean that I did not expect this situation, so I once again began to infuse magical energy into the magic stone connected to the heart into my left hand and keep the flame of magical energy from going out.

Using the explosive magical power as a driving force, the loose slime in my left hand regained its elasticity, and soon the [titanium] dagger that went into the slime began to melt little by little, accompanied by a strange sound as if something was melting.

Very slowly, of course.
