Chapter 1

This is my first post.

I humbly request your kind consideration of my work.

Humans are nothing but trash.

I crouched deep in the cave, enduring ceaseless pain while continuously spewing curses.

There was nothing else I could do.

My body, utterly exhausted and deprived of proper rest, wouldn't move properly.

My stomach was so empty it felt like it was being burned by stomach acid, making me dizzy.

My breathing was feverish and unstable.

If I were sick, it would only mean I had even less of a future.

I had to admit that I was in a dire and hopeless situation.

Damn it. Damn it.

To die alone in some unknown place like this.

What sin could I have committed to deserve such a fate?

No, that's not it.

I haven't done anything wrong.

It was those people who did it. I am nothing but a victim.

That's why I utter curses.

By doing so, I try to maintain my fading consciousness.

I think that when this hatred disappears, it will be the end of me.

But, as if mocking my efforts, some noise came from the entrance of the cave.

A sound like something being dragged.

An ominous scraping sound, as if it were stripping away my soul.

... Don't come. Don't come, don't come, don't come!

I screamed in my mind, but the sound kept getting closer.

It's no use. I can't escape.

In despair, I crouched and turned my gaze towards the source of the noise.

There, a monster over two meters tall with a semi-liquid body stood.

"...Ah"

A monster.

Our nemesis, as we call them.

The creature, which we conveniently call a slime, has no eyes, yet it seemed to have spotted me. It approached with a surprising agility that defied its appearance.

There was no way to escape. I didn't even have the strength to stand up from here.

"Damn it"

First, my hand, which I had abandoned, was consumed by a powerful digestive fluid. My school uniform dissolved, and the pain, dulled by my exhausted brain, reached me as a numbness and a sense of loss.

It seems my life is ending here.

No, no, no.

I don't want to.

"...Someone, help me"

With those pitiful words, I lost consciousness.

It was three days later, in the morning, when I had despaired of humanity.
