Sent to Another World and Meeting a Slime

PAGE 2

My name is Sano Yuji.

I’m a corporate slave who is employed at a company.

I played games as a hobby, but I have been so busy recently that I have not been able to play at all for a while.

And in spite of being so busy, my salary shows no signs of increasing.

…In other words, it’s one of those evil corporations.

It happened one midnight.

I was dealing with some work, that I had brought back home with me, when an unfamiliar window popped up on my pc screen.

The window had the following message:

You have been summoned to another world!

Press YES if you accept. If you wish to refuse, press NO.

A lack of a response will be recognized as YES.

“Hm? …What’s this? A virus?”

This message sounded like some kind of joke.

It didn’t even have the X b.u.t.ton on the top right that would allow me to close the window.

The only b.u.t.tons that existed here were the YES and NO b.u.t.tons.

I was quite sure that it didn’t matter which one I clicked. Both b.u.t.tons would take me to some scam site for sure.

My anti-virus software was up to date, and I was always careful to avoid suspicious URLs. So how had this happened?

In any case, there was only one thing to do.

I would find the program in the task manager and stop it.

That was the normal way.

It should have been…

“Uhh…what?”

Unfortunately, there was no virus-like program to be found.

In that case, the only thing to do…is to restart.

I clicked the mouse several times and rebooted the pc.

Thankfully, there was nothing preventing the computer from doing this, and the pc’s power was shut off just like I had ordered…but then it happened.

“No reply… You have therefore consented.”

My vision suddenly became very dark, and those words appeared in front of me.

This all happened very suddenly, and I started to panic.

I must be overworked and I’m going to faint…no, not really. I knew what it was like to collapse from being overworked, and it always ended with me losing consciousness and waking up in a hospital bed.

So that meant that… Ah, this was a dream.

Just as I came to this conclusion, something happened that made me sure that this was just a dream.

My surroundings suddenly turned to that of a forest.

This in itself was unbelievable, but then something even more unbelievable appeared in front of my eyes.

…It was a status window.

Yuji

Job: Tamer

Skill: Taming

Attributes: None

HP 10/10

MP 10/10

Hmm. Definitely a dream.

Something like this wouldn’t appear in reality.

Apparently, I must have fallen asleep in front of my computer.

A Tamer…I guess it was that thing where you used monsters to fight.

A monster tamer in j.a.panese.

Unfortunately, my job has nothing to do with taming. I’m a corporate slave.

Well then, I should wake up.

I still have work to do.

Thinking this, I tried to wake myself up…but showed no signs of being able to do so.

This…I guess I had to give up for now.

If I stayed up for three nights straight, I could still make it before the deadline.

Luckily, I had my alarm clock set to 6 AM just in case I fell asleep like this.

Staying up for three nights straight would be hard, but I had stayed up for four nights in the past, so it was possible.

As I thought about this, a circular, clear blob appeared in front of my eyes.

Not only that, but it was moving like a living creature…it was a living creature.

I had never seen such a thing before…but I had an idea of what it was called.

Because I had seen them in different games before.

It was…a slime.
