Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Dolls & Slime

Metsuma contemplates what had transpired in his head, feeling confusion, fear and uncomfortability, he didn't understand how he was alive but the only thing he knew was that he was alive somehow, "S-should I go back that way, no...no I have this scar so whatever must have happened...right?" questioning himself before deciding to walk back to the city in hopes to compose himself after the event but little did, he know that he wasn't safe, not for one second. Mestra was in the woods getting ready to bite down on Metsuma's body but as soon as she takes a bite, the body and clothes starting turning to dust, she tries to salvage what she can but is unable to figure out why he is disappearing, even her stomach feels weird and she feels hungry again as if her stomach was emptied out, she could only stare in confusion as the body and clothes fully disappear but despite that, she can still smell him from somewhere far else, "Weird, I smell him from the south, and it smells good", Mestra stands up from the spot she was sitting at in order to find Mestsuma again, while confused but still excited to be able to eat him again, feeling a sense of twisted love for him. The perspective switches to Ajax who now goes by the name Accelerant, 5 hours after the incident in the woods once again. "Heh, I wonder what else I can do", Accelerant thinks to himself about what else he could do with his mana until an idea clicks in his head, "When that explosion happened, the gravity seemed distorted which caused the objects around me to levitate or get heavier, if that's the case, the I could potentially manipulate gravity if a focus hard enough but gravity control isn't enough, I need something more...original", Accelerant thinks to himself about other ways to control gravity in a way that is cool, my then an idea clock, "Wait, Gravitational Time Dilation, of course" Accelerant realizes that with this concept he will be able to control time using gravity, he realizes that if he can manipulate the gravitational potential energy in a certain area then he should be able to do some form of time manipulation, with this new information, he starts remembering all the information that he learned from his past life and all the studies that he did on Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Mathematics & Science when he was in the psychiatric hospital. "From what I remember, in short, The lower the gravitational potential, the slower time passes and speeding up as the gravitational potential increases", he thinks about what happened before the explosion and Gravitational Time Dilation and comes to one conclusion, "If I can somehow isolate where I manipulate gravity through stacking my mana then I should be able to control time in a separate space, separating me from the planet's gravity". With this new idea, he quickly gets to work and starts stacking his energy but this time he doesn't blindly do it like before but really focuses and does it until the gravity around him gets distorted. "Okaaay, okaaay, easy now" he thinks to himself while stacking the energy, making sure not to lose focus but his attention is quickly diverted by a girl in the distance, and he stops his experiment. "A girl, wait, A GIRL, I need to make her the first girl in my harem" Accelerant sneaks to a bush nearby in order to observe the girl and takes notice of her features. Her body is a ball-jointed puppet, with long white hair, ponytails on each shoulder and cyan eyes. She also has red nail polish, she wears a frilled blue and white minidress with a line motif design under a black and cyan coat that exposes her shoulders, adorned with a heart shaped lock and bands pinned around her torso connecting to the heart lock, she has a white choker with a small slime keychain hanging from it and her footwear is a pair of black heels accessorized with pins on the backs of it, "She definitely old, she had to be, she looks like a teenager though, normally they look like around 10 like me before I died" she thinks while staring at her. He watches as she takes out a strange dark brown cube from her and start to putting into her mouth, chewing it, Accelerant feels a strange desire to take whatever she had for himself but doesn't understand the feeling, he then watches in silence he sees another slime go to her, she picks up the slime and puts her mouth on its body, "What is she doing?" Accelerant thinks to himself watching, she then starts spitting the same food into the slime and watching as the slime consumes it. Accelerant once again felt the urge to go to her, being drawn in by the food, "Errrgh, tch, I really want that food she has, m-maybe I can just go back into my slime form and approach her, yeah I could that." Accelerant changes back to his slime form after some focusing, his clothes he wore originally were now lying dormant inside him along with the necklace that was inside him as well since the beginning. Accelerant moves towards the girl slowly, and she catches sight of him before taking out another of the same block from her bag, Accelerant moves slightly faster towards her, unusually mesmerized by the food. The girl takes the food into her mouth and starts chewing it just like before, reaching out her hands, Accelerant goes to her hands and gets lifted by her before also having her lips on his body and her spitting the food into him as well. Accelerant feels a sense of satisfaction for the food, loving how great it taste and wanting more, the girl tries putting him down but he clings to her, which she notices, "Hmm, normally the slimes leave after I feed them, this one's clingy, could this be a rare characteristic trait that's developing or is this just coincidence", the girl speaks for the first time, "I'm definitely keeping him" she says while standing up, carrying Accelerant who is still in slime form. "Hell yeah, my first waifu" Accelerant thinks to himself while still in her grasp, The scene shifts to the girl and Accelerant now in front of a house where she unlocks it using her Heart shaped lock on her clothes, seeing it glow and the door disappearing, she walks into the house with him and the door reappears after she walks in. He sees a lot of different items in the house, food, a giant tank well modified tank and a computer with a large set up, "Wow, she looks rich", Accelerant thinks to himself as he observes the house, Accelerant is put into that same tank that he saw and turns around to see her closing the lid and turning on the lights at the top as well as turning on the devices below the tank, causing bubbles to appear. "Okay, this should be good, he should get adjusted in a while" the girl taps the wall of the tank, trying to see if he would react, Accelerant going along with it, decided to go to her and press himself against the tank's wall. "Oh, this is perfect, he reacted instantly, slimes don't do that ever, he seems to have new characteristics that separate him from the typical slimes, I'll need to document this." The scene switches to Metsuma as he goes to his house once destroyed, was repaired relatively quick and entered the home in order to relax but he knew that there was no time to relax as he still needed to get revenge for his parents but that feel of death was so traumatizing and just the feeling, the torture and the agony was so much the bear but he took a deep breath to calm himself down, knowing that despite what happened, he is somehow still alive, "Wait...what was that cross that was near me when I awakened, I didn't focus on it too much but I do remembering see it nearby parent's grave, did it have something to do with my revival" Metsuma contemplates this while sitting on his bed but he know that if he truly was revived then he could just sit around, he had to kill her for fear that she could still be after him somehow, "She...sniffed me" Metsuma dawns upon a realization, "Wait if she sniffed me that time, then, does she have my scent? If she has my scent, she can find me" He thinks to himself horrified that she is potentially hunting him right now. With this realization, he gets up and starts to think of ways to protect himself, "I don't think I can fight her at the current moment, I don't have any magic spells of any sort nor can I even cast a spell, my mana reservations are so low and I unfortunately I am unable to absorb mana for tree life, DAMN I hate these handicaps" he thinks to himself realizing just how weak he truly is. "Wait that dagger my dad gave me", He unsheathes the dagger in his pocket, "Dad told me this dagger regenerates from destruction, making it nearly indestructible, maybe I could use this to my advantage somehow...but how though", Metsuma thinks about how he could potentially use this information to his advantage in order to potentially defeat Mestra or at the very least, get her off his neck. However before he can think of a solution, he hears a knock at the door and instantly becomes terrified, thinking that she already found him, however than fear is quickly replaced when he hears a voice on the other side of the door the sounds nothing like her but he doesn't instantly trust it as he is unsure if Mestra has the ability to change voices so he looks through the peephole but fortunately it's someone else, someone that gets him excited, he quickly opens the door to find his idol, the strongest soldier in the world, The Divine Soldier, Kaisen van Nasser.
