Capítulo 9: 9: Universal Language Art
The slime carries Caleb's information and can take over other people's bodies. The age of the body he can take depends on the power of his soul. So the slime can only take over the body of the child temporarily. In the future, once his soul becomes stronger, he might be able to directly occupy an adult's body.
It's also the damn reason why Caleb woke up in the body of a five-year-old child in his first reincarnation. And now, a four-year-old one.
Unfortunately, the slime only carries Caleb's information but doesn't provide space for thinking. That's why when the slime travels the river of time, Caleb is unable to witness the process and doesn't have consciousness at all.
'What would it look like traveling in the river of time? I wonder...' Caleb sighed with disappointment and stood up from his double-deck bed. It turned out that he was lying on the bed in an awkward position, which made his entire body sore. 'So I can only think again once the time slime managed to occupy a body.'
Yes, Caleb decided to call the blue slime, a time slime. Why? Due to it having symbols of time and weird runic symbols on its slimy body. Not only that, but it can also travel to different worlds and access different timelines in the river time. Isn't it easy to conclude that the slime was a divine tool with a time attribute? Or probably a divine creature. Caleb wasn't really sure due to the limited information.
The slime only gave him an instinctual understanding of its basic function but not about its origin, such as where it came from and what its purpose is. Lastly, why did it pick him as its master?
A thick fog shrouded the time slime waiting for Caleb to unravel it. For now, Caleb decided to familiarize himself with it. Somewhere inside him, he felt that the time slime would play an important, irreplaceable role in his life.
Since he only understood the slime's basic function. He needed to explore more about the things it could do. However, Caleb knew that it was not an overnight project. He has to remain patient. After all, impatience foils great plans.
'Let me test if the thing actually works...' Caleb stood up and looked at the back of the teenager not far away from him playing in a thing similar to PS4 on Earth but not quite similar. 'Damn it, I haven't received the memories of this body yet... Did it get delayed again?'
Caleb stopped awkwardly when he was only one meter away from the teenager. Now that he was in proximity. He finally saw the appearance of the teenager, well, at least his appearance at the back.
The teen has wild short white hair, wearing a black compression T-shirt. Caleb guessed that the guy had to be 17 years old due to how smooth his skin was. However, his frame and physique made Caleb a bit uncertain in his guess.
Why?
Because the damned teen has an impressive muscular back! He has a slender build and the definition can only be described in one word... Insane!
The teen's delts, traps, lats, rhomboids, and erectors looked solid. Caleb guessed that if the other party pulled out his shirt, he would see a demon figure on his back. 'H-how is this possible!? Is this guy taking steroids!? TRT, Tren!? This kid isn't a natty!'
Of course, Caleb wasn't being serious. Genetics also plays a certain role in how one's physique would turn out. But a 17-year-old with such a body? Does he think he was David Laid?
'Well, we will know sooner or later.' Caleb scratched his cheek.
"KAJSNAAFAS- ASFASNAJ... Yuji, come here and play with me. Why are you staring dazedly at my back?"
Caleb froze when he heard the almost angelic voice. It was soft, soothing, and gentle. Not only that but at first, Caleb couldn't understand anything the guy said. To him, it sounded utter gibberish, but he managed to understand it after a few seconds. 'Strange... How did he know I was behind him?'
The white-haired guy remained unmoved, entirely focused on the game in front of him. He didn't turn around his head even once. So how did he know Caleb was staring at him?
Caleb decided to not spare his energy by thinking about it. After all, he was in a different world that was bound to challenge his worldview. He needs to prepare his mind to face the unexpected. In other words, things impossible from Earth, such as superpowers, might exist!
Plus, he has more important things to think about now. As it turned out, his experiment was a success. What experiment? One of the functions of the time slime is Universal Language Art.
Yes, the world he was in had a different language than Earth. Due to this, the first words of the white teenager sounded gibberish to him at first. However, thanks to the might of the time slime's Universal Language Art... Caleb was able to understand it subconsciously and even speak the language automatically! It not only acts as a translator, it is far more useful than that! But he knew that he needed to understand its other practical applications in the future. Who knows what surprise it had in store for him?
'Thanks, Gods... I don't need to study a language from scratch.' Just the thought of reincarnating again and again and needing to study the languages of the world he would find himself in made Caleb nauseous.
Just how many worlds exist in the river of time? How many languages does he need to study? So, the Universal Language Art was really a lifesaver. 'Also curse gods! Why in the body of a four-year-old? At least, give me a ten-year-old body...'
Due to his experience of fighting adults with five-year-old strength, Caleb knew just how important the age of the vessel he would land himself in. It was directly tied to his survival!
