Hello ladies and gentlemen, this is my first story that I am writing, and if you notice any issue, pacing, storywriting, far too OP Rimuru, etc...
Please tell me!
Enjoy.
--------------------------------
Satoru Mikami, the ordinary 37 year old we all know and love, has just been tragically stabbed.
As he has his final thoughts, a strange voice begins to speak, but his focus isn't with it.
The voice was speaking non-sense to him, skills? what is this, an Isekai fiction?
The voice finally piques his interest enough, he's going to die anyway, he can't hear his friend shouting for his name.

Speech ""
Thought communication ()
He is currently trying to speak, that's why I will use "", but his throat wouldn't let the words get through.
The rest should be narration, If you see text like this, it is most likely an intermission or an important event.)
"I don't... want to feel this pain.. it's cold.. and yet so.. hot...
am I burning or freezing..?
Make it stop..."
[Success, you have gained the following skills:
Pain nullification, Cold Resistance, Fire Resistance.

"W-what... stop speaking.. non-sense.. you're sounding.. like a hermit, no.. an ancient sage.."
[Success, you have gained the skill:
Great Sage.]
"....I just wanted... to live a normal life, inspire people...get a girlfriend.."
[Failed, You cannot gain the skill Chosen Hero, as you do not meet the requirements.]
Satoru was deeply confused.
"I wish this... blood of mine.. would not flow...
it's feeling.. disgusts me.."
[Creating a body that does not require blood, in compensation, you will need Magicules to not fade out.]
"Stop... stop... stop.. this.. is getting annoying!
I want.. to live.. to see... to hear..I don't.... want to die..."
[Success, You have gained the skill Magic Sense.]
It was then that his consciousness faded.
His friend fried his PC and Hard drive, throwing the entire thing into his bathtub, truly a loyal friend.
"Your final wish, Sir Satoru..."
Some time later, although not exactly specified, as time and space seemed to halt for him after his death, he was floating in an endless void of black, then he hit something hard, making him snap up.
"Hey, you're finally awake."
Satoru woke up to a complete pitch black void, he could only make out the figure of someone in front of him.
"W-where am I? Are you perhaps.. God? I didn't sin... Please I don't want to go to hell!"
The being looked at Satoru confused for a second, then laughed lightly.
"Calm down, I am no god.
I am just here to.. guide you forward.
You will soon wake up somewhere, and I need to help you quickly, Try to sit cross-legged."
Satoru tried at first, but couldn't, he couldn't feel his body, his new body.
Eventually after quite a few minutes he managed to sit up, he is yet to realize he is in a different body.
"Call this an intervention, and think of me as... a semi-omniscient being.
I am here to slowly guide you towards the path that should cause you the least tragedy."
Satoru blinked, though he did not notice that he did so.
"...Am I getting.. reincarnated?"
The being smiled lightly.
"Yes."
Satoru was dumbfounded, then he was sort of excited, then he was hit with grief, then happiness, then confusion."
"I-.Wai- HUH?
Wait, you're telling me getting Isekai'd is real??!?
YES! YES!
But.. wait.. what if I'm weak.. oh no.. don't tell me there's your average demon lord that threatens the world....
No wait, if I'm getting Isekai'd, this could mean I might be the main character, is that what the voice back then meant? If so I just got some good skills, lucky me!.
But wait... now I'm just.. lost.. what about the language? The people? What will they think of me?
Shit..."
The Being stared at Satoru with amusement, he did not know Pre-Death Rimuru was this amusing, he felt relief knowing this person in front of him was good at heart and soul.
"Now now, let's get to the point. You will wake up in a cave... don't question the body I will give you, that is the intervention, just know that it was crucial to give you that precise body.
As you wake up, you should see everything at a weird 360 angle, don't be worried, you'll get used to it.
Gather as much materials, remember those Video Games you used to play, grinding, that was the term if I am correct."
The being paused, thinking of something, before continuing.
"After a few days, although you wouldn't know how much time has passed, just get the feel for it I guess, traverse the.. 'land' you'll be in until you find a massive pool of water, swim over it, and jump down to where it will take you to your most important encounter."
Satoru took all this in, he was quite scared of forgetting this, but then the being reassured him.
"Do not worry, memories are not forgotten that easily, I will make sure of it.
When you finish that encounter, I will meet you again, just hurry."
Satoru could hear a snap of fingers before his consciousness fades, he then wakes up after what felt like an eternity.
"U-ugh... I didn't get his name... Atleast I got a powerful friend...
Is he powerful? He seemed to be."
Satoru stood up and walked for a bit, not noticing his body had changed, or his new clothes.
he stopp
ed by a lake and looked at his reflection, to his utter shock..
"WHAAAAAAAAAAA! I'M... I'M A GIRL!
NOO! TAKE ME BACK!!
I DON'T WANT TO..... NOOOO!"
In shock and disbelief, he continued loudly pouting.
"I DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY.... CHEST... OR ANYTHING!
Okay.. calm down Satoru... you can do this...
Maybe it's just a mistake... you'll change this form eventually right?"
He touched his body and all he could feel was a strange sensation, he could not feel a beat, there were no veins, no heart, no organs, he was like a doll.
"Okay time to confirm... am I... male or female.."
He closed his eyes and prayed to whatever god exists here that he was still united as one with his sworn bald brother..
He dropped to his knees and let out the most grief stricken shout in existence.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
How am I going to accomplish all my lemon fantasies..
Impossible.."
The ground shook, and Sat
oru was taken aback.
