Story starts:

'Hmm… my new body. It looks exactly like Akashi's. I love it, but… tch, I'm still short.' He looked down at his hands with a frown, flexing his fingers.

'It seems I was born from Veldora's magicalules. That explains the aura clinging to me. Luckily, it's completely drowned out by his overwhelming presence, so no one will notice.'

He crossed his arms, thinking carefully. 'I have two plans before I meet Veldora and Rimuru. First, I'll collect Hipokute herbs and magic ore. Second, I'll tap into my soul and use my Manas Core to access the world system through Records. I was planning to write down the plot myself, but since I have Records, there's no need.'

He smirked. "Alright then… let's begin."

3rd POV / Omni POV

The little reincarnator crouched by the cave floor, trying to pick up chunks of magic ore with his bare hands. At first, he attempted to collect them manually. After a while, his breathing grew heavier, and he finally gave up, clicking his tongue in irritation.

Instead, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. His breathing slowed as he sank into meditation, reaching deeper into his core.

In the darkness of his soul, he found his astral body shimmering faintly. He reached out… but his fingers passed through. As a pseudo-Manas Core, he was still only a semi-spiritual life form—not yet a complete one.

It took him a day and a half of effort, but finally, he managed to touch it. His lips curved in satisfaction.

With renewed determination, he resumed collecting Hipokute herbs and magic ore. This time, success followed. Then, focusing his will, he invoked his new ability—Universal Shapeshift. His body trembled, liquefied, and—plop—he transformed into a slime.

MC POV

I floated slightly in my new slime form, sighing. "Finally accessed the world system… but damn, it's limited."

'It looks like I can only create two unique skills, and even then only using the information provided by Records. I can't make something out of nothing. Either I analyze an existing skill or gather enough info about it. No wonder that guy didn't hand me Lord of Information.'

My core pulsed faintly, echoing my thoughts. 'At present, my magicalules can only sustain four unique skills. I decided on Skill Bank as a unique skill and Universal Shapeshift as an intrinsic one. Strong, but… tch, it drained me.'

I grumbled aloud, "Skill Bank alone took nearly a quarter of my magicalules. Broken, sure… but also a pain to maintain."

Shaking slightly in slime form, I muttered, 'I'll wait until I meet Milim before relying on the intrinsic skill Magicalule Generator. Analyzing her Stardust Turn Null would be suicide at this stage. Even as a Manas, that's too risky.'

I bounced irritably. "Argh, so frustrating. I could've created more, but if I exhaust myself, I'll just collapse and lose my shot at being named. No way I'm risking that."

'For now… I'll stick to collecting ore for another two days.'

Taking a deep breath, I called out: "System!"

I blinked—or at least the slime equivalent. 'So he really did exclude Tensura as a free slot… lucky me.'
