Axel woke up chained to his suitcase like normal . He found himself in a forest and thought of what happened to the bedroom he was sleeping in . After a little scouting , he confirmed that he is no longer in the same world .
There were strange animals and a very small town with houses built with stone and wood . He armed himself with melee weapons after knowing he can't obtain ammunition . Axel walked to the town finding a lot of people and assumed he isn't on his original planet anymore .
The people stared at his strange attire and his two suitcases which weren't like any they'd seen . Axel walks into a large bar thinking he might get information .
He was linguistic and understood symbols and signs but also could differentiate the mood of an area . He checked his wallet finding he had some change which he used assuming the bar's currency .
The bar had a second floor right above the counter he walked around finding a good spot at the counter . He laid down his suitcase and sat ordering sausage and milk .
" Morning discount today is a special day for our town . " the barkeeper hit a gong in the front of the bar at rhythmic hits . Axel sat down and look at the language used and understood the literacy of the town and the language .
Around half the town are literate which is great for the drawings used and the gongs in front of every house mean the unity of the small town . He grabbed the knife and fork and started to cut the sausage and placed the milk and sausage in his mouth .
He dropped his head on the plate with his hand behind , he hears people snickering , a door shut , felt hands approaching his and the greed of those inside the inn . He clenched the fork and knife swinging them to a couple behind killing them with a clap . The confused people stared at him as he spat out the poisoned sausage and milk .
" Dang it kill him " someone threw a punch at Axel . He kicked the stool tripping him and pulled some strings he attached to windows closing off the light . He stepped on the man through the wood and lifted his body above the counter using it as a shield and released the strings bringing light back .
" What where is he ? " the man stuck through the wood tried to get up " Help me " a woman behind the counter saw Axel crouching and threw the mug at him while he grabbed it and stood up bashing it to her head knocking her out " There he is " they all stomped on the man with his head under the wood and attacked Axel .
He tore the cloth of the woman and wrapped it in the arm of another and directed the knife to the woman behind her . He pulled the cloth hard pushed her to the counter and made her drink the milk and stuffed the sausage in her mouth .
He elbowed a man behind him and took the knife of the dead woman stabbing right at his chest horizontally through the heart . A fat man destroyed the roof of the counter making Axel turn and push the man to the drop zone .
Some already went through the counter so he got some wine and hit the man and stabbed the fat man with the shattered bottle making him bleed . The stone plate was thrown at those on the counter bruising their face and leading Axel to grab more flinging it to them .
He ran out took a piece of cloth and twisted it and whipped it at the eyes of his enemies . He goes into the kitchen closes the door and kicks it out . Finding a few knives he stabs the one who got in and pushes them back .
He leaves the kitchen again and kills a woman by tripping her letting gravity kill her with the shards stuck on the floor . He leaves the counter and sees a man moving his lips spouting words he couldn't understand .
He grabbed the broken bottle from the fat man and throws it at the man . But before his death, a fire spewed out of his hands and he died . Amazed by the event of death Axel jumped off the counter and the man came out of the kitchen with a knife and then showed fear as the fire approached him .
All the alcohol that was destroyed became the fuel and burned through the counter some people tried to stab him but tripped. So he helped them go through the counter letting them burn together . He started to kill them with the knives he got and finally killed the last one .
He left the burning inn with his suitcases and opened it to look for life signals around the small town . He finds one under a fountain and arms himself with guns ready to kill any hostile targets .
The fountain was normal the water flowed and nothing out of ordinary was wrong . Axel looked at the fountain and started to extract the water with the siphon's principle . He hammered the rocks breaking the fountain hoping to find any people under it .
He later found a hole and a pool of water with corpses around it . He held onto the ground and swings himself beside the pool stepping on several corpses.
He hears some men moaning and guessed what they were doing . He grabbed the spear at the pile of clothes and throws it impaling the man through his head . Now with the life signal gone, there was one movement made when he checked .
It was right under the pool , luckily the pool was elevated so he got a hose and filled it with water . One end out of the pool the other at the bottom , which made the water flow out . Soon only the floor was a little wet he knocked on the ground and found the hallowed room .
He went up and dropped the parts of the fountain destroying the ground . He looked at the rumble and saw a slime shaking . The slime got up to the ground while Axel was at a safe and far distance .
He shot at the slime presenting his intent and even aimed closely at the magic stone " Ahh wait wait wait " hearing the slime talk gave Axel a reason to not kill . The slime shrunk itself to protect its core " You don't seem like you are from around here so what if I become your guide ? "
The slime formed a very strong intelligence after hearing of how bandits captured innocent victims . And because it was very weak in the wild it showed its value to be captured by the bandits so it could avoid dying .
But it heard the bandits talking about taking its magic stone which is only found in special monsters like a slime . Right now it saw Axel as a great helper because it felt how skilled Axel is .
Axel sensed the slime's intention and deemed it as a good ally for the world . He would rather act like he was mute to hide a few things and he used sign language hoping it would understand . First , he opened his hand and made a writing gesture " Um can you talk ? "
He shook his head and made the same gesture again then pointed at the slime " Um are you communicating with me ? " he nodded doing everything again " Um I can write " Then Axel looked at the signs and pointed at it " It says a farm "
Axel wrote down his intentions letting the slime read it " So you need a guide to this world and a speaker . " ' Paper is quite expensive and from this bandit town, only half is literate ... That means he won't sell me because he is rich and as long as I understand his sign language . '
Axel lined a copper coin and silver coin then drew another circle a little bigger than the silver coin beside it " Oh you want to know the higher currency ... Well from the talks of those villagers a copper coin is the most basic then 10 of that is bronze then 10 bronze is silver . Well to make it simple copper first then bronze , silver , iron , gold , diamond and platinum . "
Axel threw the bills he had left them behind and then he stored his weapons inside the suitcase in the amazement of the slime ' What are these weapons ? They look so different than the ones used by those bandits . '
The slime looked at Axel and felt he was special . It used a special ability but using it at Axel scared it " What !? " its intelligence reached a level to accept the slime ancestry heritage letting it learn knowledge its ancestor embedded in their magic stones .
And to the slime it found Axel wearing some special trait that made his time even slower so to him it isn't that he can feel it's 1 second for every second the world passes but it would be less than 1 second for every second of the world's time making his reaction slower
" What are you how come you have something that makes you slower ? " Axel sighed seeing that he was found out but because the slime was his ally he didn't care too much and gave it some signs telling it he can manipulate time which he used to train himself to react quickly .
' What is up with this monster how can he use such a powerful ability to train ? ' to Axel it isn't good to have a lot of power so he would always use his chronokinesis to manipulate his speed making his actual speed and body even stronger .
" Do you have that on all the time ? " Axel nodded and opened a map showing it to the slime " Even if you showed me that I won't know anything I have been trapped under that pool for so long . "
Axel pointed at a stack of coins " A sack of coins ? Oh you want money . Then it's likely at the big house right there . " the slime guided Axel to the house and reached an office with a vault " It's in here but I don't know how they opened it . "
Click the vault open revealing some coins " What how did you do that ? " Axel closed the vault and sticks his ears and the slime to it turning the password in " I can't believe it's that easy . " the slime understood after a few tries and Axel took the coins with him closing the vault .
He thought of the man who chanted and thought he may as well learn some magic . Axel looked at the bookshelf and found logbooks so he threw the ones that are pointless outside and found a book with different colors.
" This was the book that red-head reads all the time I think he was trying to do some magic by chanting . " Axel opened the book and read its texts . It seems like that bandit wanted to learn more cause there were scribbles everywhere .
But as a mercenary , he traveled and decoded many languages to get a password . He took a look at the incantations , magic formations and symbols decoding each of the symbols with meaning .
And finally the feeling of mana " Oh right forgot to tell you magic needs to have mana which was said to be innate . " Axel remembered the meditation he would usually take when he is very tired and thought of how his senses heightened when his concentration reached a high level .
He feels the nature around him and felt mana at the magic stone of the slime . Thinking it may be a bad idea to take it he brings the mana around him without affecting the slime .
Then he used the decoded symbols he understood and used them as a code in a program . A magic circle appeared on his hand " Wow you can already use it that bandit took so long just to make fire . "
Soon the whole magic circle became bigger like more codes were placed on a program and blasted a thin pillar of fire . The aftermath shocked Axel and the slime as they both looked at the burned roof above .
" Please never use this kind of thing ever again . " but when it saw the look on Axel's face it knew he will use it . Axel excitedly read through the book and signaled the slime to lead him to some library .
...
" Your majesty I believed our lost summoned hero is around our kingdom . " The king gave his attention away from the other summoned " Then go retrieve them immediately " " Father I shall follow them to retrieve them . "
The king looked at his daughter who came in her best dress " Greetings to the princess " the knights bowed down when she came into the room the other summoned were stunned by her beauty .
" If the knights were dispatched only now the summoned may have left the area already . So I will follow them by executing a long-distance teleportation spell . " the princess smiled saintly giving off the impression of a saint to the summoned .
" Ho then I shall allow your attendance in retrieving the lost summoned . " the princess and the knights left the throne room .
...
" Please Axel stop it you might destroy the forest . " the slime interacted with Axel while he was creating more spells by making other symbols that represented different meanings " When will you ever stop . "
Axel thought of all the symbols he had used and constructed simple thermal heating on a rock . The rock melted so Axel had achieved his desired results then he got some paper to write down the magic circle and then let mana gather on it .
The paper burned along with the fire that was conjured from the circle " Wow you can do that ? " Axel heard a sound and pushed the slime to the ground " Princess please let a few knights guard you while we find the lost summoned . "
Axel put his finger perpendicular to his lips and then put two fingers imitating people walking on the palm of his hands " There are people outside ? " the slime whispered to Axel while he clapped his palm and opened it .
" I think I know where a secret passage is . " Axel put two fingers perpendicular to his lips and pointed it forward " Okay I'll point " they walked down in silence and arrived at a kitchen the slime pointed at a cabinet which Axel opened .
He went into the hole with his suitcases and got up to walk the passage " It's dark in here " Axel conjured fire and lighted the way . But as he went he dropped some "pebbles" behind him " Axel what are you dropping ? "
Axel showed the slime a piece of paper he had and a magic circle appeared he crumpled it and threw it behind him " But how will you trigger it if there is no mana ? " Axel pointed at a glowing light under the hole they came from .
" Oh , that's mana " Axel stopped throwing paper and threw away the few grenades left in his bag not needing them " Princess we found a hidden passage " Axel tugged his hands as the mana strings he made straightened and touched the paper igniting it .
Serina felt magic fluctuate " There's someone using magic ! " a sequence of explosions exploded creating casualties to those in the house " How are you so good at magic ? " Axel pointed his fingers at his head .
" So thinking will make it easier ? Then teach me please " Axel smiled giving it a thumbs up while running through the passage " When will this end ? " Axel had to concentrate on breathing because he set flames behind him .
Fortunately , he reached the end and opened the trapdoor to reveal a cave hidden behind some leaves " Freedom " the slime quietly celebrated but Axel pulled it back and opened a suitcase " What is that ? "
A white mask that can be decorated like paper was there along with some hair dye , coloring materials and make-up . Axel covered a part of his face and pointed at the mask " You want to make a disguise ? "
Axel dyed his hair red to show others that he is a fire mage and then he colored the mask black and puts it on " Then I will do the same " the slime change its colors to orange showing its colors to Axel .
He made a thumbs up and looked at his clothes " Don't worry you look like a mercenary wearing these hard-fiber clothes and you might even be mistaken as someone rich . " Axel walked out of the cave and look back hearing the shouts of command by the princess .
He ran quickly into the forest following the map to the nearest city and he managed to use the newly learned magic to his advantage by making a platform to keep running " Can thinking do this much to magic ? "
The duo arrived at the city at a very quick speed " Why are you so fast ? " the slime was closer to becoming water after it had to keep up with Axel's speed " Sir ID or fee ? " " Mister guard he can't talk just tell him the fee he isn't interested in telling others his identity . "
The guard looked at Axel who didn't have his mouth open " Down here " the guard looked down to see a slime waving at it " a talking slime ? " " Come on just tell him the cost . " " Right it's three silver "
...
He walked into the mercenary registration and looked at everyone while walking to the counter and leaving the fee for registration " Here is your card sir " Axel received his card and then felt some gaze of other mercenaries .
Of course, the slime was right about him being mistaken as someone rich so he came prepared " Sir is there anything you need ? " " We need to go use your library . " the slime became Axel's mouth " A talking slime is very rare mister newbie you better protect it . "
The two went to the library and started reading some contents of the book "It's a lot of history lessons in here . " Axel skimmed to every content but couldn't find any for magic " Why are you looking for magic again ? "
Axel sighed and showed the slime his ammunitions which is lacking " Is this like a dart to your weapon ? " the slime knows about blow darts from the goblins so the size of the bullets reminded it of them .
Axel nodded and showed it a few empty magazines " So this is where you put them . " they both left the library and were greeted by the receptionist " Hey mister newbie since you keep a slime with you can you register yourself as a tamer that way no one will try to kill that slime or take it away . "
Axel nodded and let the receptionist do her work " Miss do you know where we can get magic-related books ? " Axel receive directions and found the building " We're here " they entered the bookstore and searched for the shelves for magic .
...
" I can't believe it was only five books I thought there were going to be more . " the slime was very excited to learn magic and since there were only a few books to read from it felt disappointed .
Meanwhile , in the castle , the summoned were in a riot " Guards stop them " the summoned heroes were young mercenaries summoned at the same apartment complex Axel lived in along with some ordinary high schoolers they blend in with . They all followed Axel's creed and relied on their surroundings without wasting bullets .
" Worthy of being a summoned hero " the knight captain praised the teenagers they looked down on his armor while all of them wore pajamas as they went to sleep ( Except for always wearing mission gear these mercenaries wear actual pajamas to sleep . )
" And your not worthy for those muscles if you were armor and use a sword " the captain smiled eagerly and threw away his armor showing his face and skin " Then come and fight me " shards flew to his face going into his mouth .
" You are playing dirty " the crown prince pointed at Loki " You can't talk about dirty tricks to mercenaries " a sword threatened the prince's life " You bought us here so we plan to view this as kidnapping us during our sleep . "
" Stop it ! " a student shouted at the mercenaries who had their pajamas stained with blood " Right you don't know too much about killing , tell you what we were summoned here and also kidnapped . "
" But that doesn't mean you should kill them " " They wanted a war so isn't this just enough to teach them a lesson to not mess with us ? " Loki picked up a sword and looked at his comrades who held the life of the prince .
" Don't worry princey we'll keep you alive . " Kate held the prince hostage as the rest of her comrades killed the rest " Gran get the king with us " " And find the queen and concubines "
" Roger that senior " the three ran to a door and were blocked by knights " You will not " the frontline killed them inserting the swords into a gap and took their swords cutting their necks, impaling their hearts with a spear and smashing their head to a pillar .
The blade got closer to the prince's chin " Don't even think of making lies because we can tell and have interrogated a lot of people who spilled lies instead of real information . " the students who occupied the same apartment complex couldn't believe that their classmates are actual mercenaries .
" Also is there anyone missing ? " the mercenaries looked around and didn't find Axel " Everyone that lives in the apartment complex is here only about seven people oh teacher is not here at all . "
...
" Hey don't you think you shouldn't activate this ? " at half the room , papers were stuck to the wall with incantations , shapes and symbols drawn on the papers " What would happen if that group appeared again ? "
Axel finished the formation and stepped out sitting on the bed " What are you planning ? " the slime shivered away to the corner of the room as far as it could from the paper-covered half . The paper glowed and formed a barrier of the same size " Eh nothing dangerous ? "
Axel picked a bullet and compressed the barrier-forming a bullet of the same size with a tiny circle inside " What the how did you do that ? " Axel didn't mind and gave the slime a few sheets of paper with incantations .
Axel then repeated this until his magazines are full " But how will you use it ? " Axel got his sniper and pointed it at the bandit hideout he came from " What are you doing ? " Axel slashed a thumb in front of his neck .
He locked his eyes on a target which was the princess and shot her " Why did you kill her ? " Axel wrote to the slime telling it that the girl has some brainwashing trait that could have been used against him .
" Right I remember that there is a type of power called a charm that the demons used . " Axel put back his sniper and looked at the half-covered room " What are you planning now ? " Axel took the formation and took out a wooden box he had made .
The paper burned using some flames and he attached the formation to the box " Wow that's convenient " Axel tested the box by holding on to a bullet and got the same results " Ey that means you can fight from afar like archers . "
The slime thought of the distance between Axel and the princess " Wait how far away are we ? " Axel gave it the information and showed it " 6 Kilometers ? You weren't even looking how good are you at this ? "
Axel left the inn and looked at the distant castle " Oh newbie did you want to go there? " an old man dressed in martial arts clothing asked Axel while looking at the same view " I heard the kingdom summoned warriors from another world ? "
The slime curiously asked the blind man " What was it for ? " " They said something about going to war and we received a message to find a lost summon " Axel squeezed the slime and pointed at himself .
The slime got close to Axel's ear for confirmation whispering " You're the lost summon ? " he nodded and gestured for silence " So that girl you killed was a princess " Axel was confused so he nodded and shook his head " I guess you wouldn't know because your from another world . "
Axel left the inn and town while the slime wondered " How did you run so quickly with that distance ? " Axel showed it a watch " Right you can control time " Axel rushed taking off some restrictions and holding the slime in his suitcase .
The slime made funny sounds trying to communicate with Axel but his speed was faster than sound stopping the slime from talking to him for some reason air pressure wasn't a thing to him .
He stopped in front of a cave to find some monsters that were requested for extermination " Ugh I don't know what I'm feeling right now but I hate it . " the slime considered some pain he heard from its inheritance and memories but nothing could match what it just felt .
Axel armed himself with two pistols and a knife " What about me ? " Axel opened his hand to bring out some small balls the same volume as a bullet and it was made the same way too " What am I gonna use this for ? "
Axel took one ball and cloth from a dead goblin and shot it like a slingshot " That's a nice concept " Axel left the slime and the suitcases at the entrance and gestured to the slime to protect it .
" Yessir , I'll pay attention to your belongings . " ' He has those guns and according to some books the number of goblins in a cave would usually be around thirty and he has two extra magazines with ten bullets he definitely won't miss so I don't have to worry about him . '
...
" Hey you two did you check what you got as your affinity ? " the seven summoned sat in a treasure room with the royal family under slave magic " Ugh can you please stop staring at us like that ? It feels like a murderer is staring at me . "
" We are murderers though . " Vivian took some clean clothes took some weapons and hid them on her dress " Did everyone get their disguises yet ? " she sewed some needles onto her dress " Why are you so calm about this ? "
" Felix you are really the honored student . " Evelyn laughed at him while looking down at his personality " Even Tally understands the situation even more . " Tally was taking some books of magic to read .
" I don't understand the meaning of these ? " " If you know how to hack it's easy to understand some of them . " Loki took some and noted the symbols while writing them down in their language .
" Here you better learn it I can't believe that the saint is Felix " even Felix felt embarrassed when he heard that " Come on why can't I be some warrior or sage instead ? " " Well you do keep going to churches too frequently and you would keep praying before an exam or the day before and probably every night . "
Gran found a sword laying on a pedestal but couldn't pull it out " Hey royals what is this ? " the slave magic reacted and caused them to talk " That is the holy sword only those it deems worthy can lift it . "
" Huh, but how can a stone carry it if we can't lift it ? " Loki tied it up to a rope " Then how about we move it indirectly " he kicked a piece of armor tied to the rope pulling the sword away from the pedestal .
" Great now the holy sword has become a super heavy sword . " Kate took some daggers and showed them to the other mercenaries " Want some of these ? " " Where do you learn these ? " " Felix you have to watch at least some movies of course they learned it as a mercenary . "
The mercenaries grabbed the daggers and hide them as weapons " We were thought by our teacher Axel . " " The oldest guy in our apartment ? " " He's just a teenager " Vivian stares at Tally with some glasses to see her stats .
" Tally you got tamer class , Loki got thief class , Gran has weapon master , Kate has archer , Evelyn has mage and I got seamstress . " a moment of silence came and was interrupted by some of their reasoning .
" I do have a lot of pets " " Suits me " " Me too " " Not gonna care " Felix was very disappointed and sat on a corner drawing circles " But only Felix got a unique class is there a reason ? " " Then we will ask the king . "
Loki took the king up with his clothes and shouted at his face while punching him " Alright king tell us why is it like this . " " Loki he is under slave magic you don't have to interrogate him " Loki coughed and threw the king aside whose slave magic activated .
" Summoning heroes from another world will call in those who aren't heroes by accident " they all stared at Felix " So you were the reason we were sent here " " Anything alive will be transported here along with the belongings they are wearing . "
The five mercenaries looked at their hands and realized " My sniper " " My guns and blades " " We really should get a suitcase that attaches " Gran and Kate sat in a corner rolling circles on the floor .
