《I reincarnated as a Hive Mind Slime》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Hello there people or person of the Void or what ever you are, it is me the soul you told that it would be reincarnated, but didn’t.
At least I don’t think you reincarnated me because I am quiet sure reincarnation means I would live again, and I don’t think I do.
Now don’t get me wrong I appreciate that you give me a second life, even if I don’t get to keep my “subjective” memories(what does that even mean), but could you please do whatever you are doing a bit faster, being a formless soul is making me feel weird and wrong, not that I have a body that could feel weird.
It’s just that keeping still is seemingly impossible as my soul keeps drifting in all directions like a gas, and every time I draw myself back into one place it feels as if somthing has changed I think I’m not putting everything back at the right place and I don’t know what will happen because of that.
So please any update on what’s happening?
... ... …

Ok that’s a lot.
I’ll start on the top left and work my way to the bottom right why?
Because I think it fells right, that’s why.
So first Name and then blank I guess I don’t have a name.
Well maybe me getting my status means I will be reincarnated soon, maybe getting born gives me a name?
I think there was somthing like that.
So second Body Vocation.
Why is there a none next to it?
Why isn’t there a blank like with my name?
And most importently what does Body Vocation mean? What has it to do with my body does the status explain itself?

Body Vocation
A temporary physical alteration, for specialization, of one Body.
Ok I guess that explains some things but I still have many questions.
Like how temporary? Is there a time limit?
Well I guess the system awnsers some questions.
Maby I have to ask less question if I have seen my whole status.
So I’ll glance over my status and then ask questions again.
… … …
Well I certainly have more questions now but let’s restart were I left of, system what’s a type.
Type
Different categoris in wich living beings belong based on shared traits among them.
Ok then what’s a Monster?
Monster
A type of living creature all of them have a core in wich they store their magic energy. All monsters posses the skill evolution.
Ok thanks system, now what’s the skill Evolution?
… … …
Hello? Ok whats a magic core?
… … …
So no answer to thing not on the front of my status?
Ok next what’s a level?
Level
Granted by a Leveling skill it displays your current level.
Rather easy to understand I am level 0 because I haven’t used my Leveling skill yet.
Now what does body’s mean?
Bodies
Displays the current and the maximum number of Bodies
Now what is Bio Mass?
Bio Mass
Any mass assimilate into the user by a consumtion type skill.
Displays the current and the maximum number of Bio Mass.
Now this will be a lot.
Ok what’s ATK?
ATK
The amount of physical damage you can deal by using force, sharp parts of the body or body produced substances such as acid or poison.
Ok not quite what I expected but now I know.
What’s INT?
INT
Your summised cognitive capability. A high INT can mean very different things dependent on the specialization of the individual. In a Researcher it might improve logical thinking, creativity and memory but in a soldier it might improve motor funktions, reaction speed or interpretation of senses.
Well some parts I understand but some… not so much.
CORE DEF?
CORE DEF
Because of the huge importance of the core in your species and with how exposed it is the DEF of the Core is listed separately please refer to DEF.
Advertisement
Ok thanks for the extra info and non explanation of that stat.
But now I wonder, why would my core be exposed if it’s so importand, has it to do with the liquid body skill is my that why my DEF is 0?
Ok enough of that so what does DEF actually mean?
DEF
The amount by wich you can ignore/reduce damage dealt to you.
Might not apply everywhere on body if the body isn’t uniformly hardened.
SPEED?
SPEED
How fast you can move.
(Doesn’t help with perceiving things fast)
MAGI?
MAGI
Indicates your Magic Power and the amount of Mana you can hold.
HP?
HP
The amount of life force in your body.
High HP can’t prevent wounds but makes wounds inflicted shallower.
High HP doesn’t help heal wounds but helps you survive wounds others couldn’t.
Now a big one what is a Skill?
Skill
A system aided ability.
Well that raises the question what the system is and why does it help?
…
Well next what is Liquid Body.
Liquid Body
A part or all of your body is liquid this skill allows to control that liquid at will.
That seems pretty good, I have a part of me that can’t really be hurt and that i can send to attack somthing at will, helps if I have to defend myself.
What is Self Duplication
Self Duplication
The ability to create an exact copy of your body by consuming Bio Mass
I guess that explains what Bio Mass is for, at least one of its uses and I have a suspicion that the next skill has somthing to do with this one and that Bodyies part from before.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.
What is High Hive Mind?
High Hive Mind
Your consciousness is shared across multible Bodyies it is as if you were controlling all of them at the same time since information between the Bodyies and the Hive Mind is exchanged instantly.
A Higher Hive Mind is detached from its bodies, because of that all bodies inside of it are equal and no body is a true or main body.
Well seems being able to attack safely with Liquid Body isn’t that important after all, as long as I don’t lose all my Bodies, I will be fine.
But again I shouldn’t get ahead of myself.
I only have 1 Body for now I don’t know when I will get another.
And now that I think of it it’s kind of strange that it say that I have a body because I am still here in the Void, hopefully that changes soon.
So what does Acid (Low) mean?
Acid (Low)
Your body is (weakly) Acidic.
My whole Body?
Not just the liquid parts?
Well I guess it doesn’t matter.
Gluttony Leveling?
Gluttony Leveling
A being with the ability to gain levels has inherited the power of Gluttony to strengthen itself by consuming.
Levels are earned by consuming Bio Mass.
Extra stats and ability are earned based on what is consumed.
Another use for Bio Mass, no extra comment.
Vocation?
Vocation
Two skill that could be held by a single being but were never meant to be combined have been fused and the resulting conflicting energy’s have been separated into two new skills.
Keeping the aspects of physicly changing the user from evolution and classes a Vocation changes the body to suite to type of Vocation selected.
Vocations are gained instead of evolutions.
Because of the nature of classes Vocations aren’t permanent.
Vocation Archive?
Vocation Archive
Two skill that could be held by a single being but were never meant to be combined have been fused and the resulting conflicting energy’s have been separated into two new skills.
This skill let’s you duplicate and reuse previous Vocations.
It also allows you to refine the the absorbed essence from consumed matter.
Well I guess that all the Information I’m going to get for now.
I guess now I don’t have anything better to do than think abo……..
Wait were is the unending darkness of the Void.
My body doesn’t feel gassy anymore but Liquid?
More liquid than I would have thought.
So I’m in a forest, an wait what am I?
Am I a slime?

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
