The Unnamed God. I'm really Not a God You Guys!

Are we going to fight? What are we going to fight?

This is a city. There should not be any monster. Is this some sort of underground ring?

Will this become a dark kill or be killed story?

Should I run back to the surface and ask for reinforcement?

I look at the other guys nearby. None seem particularly worried. Either these guys are total war machines or the job isn't that bad.

"Alright, are you guys ready? Let's start this hunt."

I raise up my hand…

[Excuse me, what are we hunting exactly?]

"Didn't the others tell you? Wait, I don't remember seeing you before … Ah you must be new. Don't worry about it. The sewers are infested by slimes. Usually, that would be a good thing as they act as natural cleaners, but they tend to multiply exponentially. From time to time we need to clear them out of they start overflowing above and cause all sorts of problems."

Oh! So we are hunting slimes! Now that I think about it this is insane. A slime is literally the first enemy every adventurer encounters in a fantasy world. How the Hell did it take me so long to meet one?! I even met a wolf king in the forest. This is backward for sure!

Then again can't exactly expect the monsters to just obediently line up in term of difficulty. In a game you get the weaklings, then the elites, the mid-bosses, and finally the bosses. All the stars conveniently lining up allowing every fight to be a challenge. After each success one becomes stronger until they finally reach the demon lord!

Talking about a demon lord I wonder if there is any in this world. If there is, it might just be the friendly one that is somehow super sexy and peace-loving. There has been many of those in recent years. Like at first it was fun, but after a while, it starts being too much you know.

So right now I am about to fight slimes. Heading into the darkness with only torches to light up our path.

Somehow, I am getting really excited!

"Be careful, while they are all each individually weak, they are everywhere. Do not get cornered. Stay with the group no matter what. I don't want any casualty…"

Oh, what a nice guy!

"…otherwise my pay is gonna get docked again."

Hum …what a pragmatic guy! Wait…again?! How many has he lost someone down here?! Is the death rate actually high?! I feel someone patting my shoulder.

"Don't worry. Even normal people like us can survive easily here as long as we are careful."

Wait…normal dudes? None of them are warriors? What the hell am I fearing then! If even normal template villagers can survive this there is no way I would die here. If this is this easy I can just relax and have fun.

That reminds me…

[Say, is there a bonus pay for whoever acts as the vanguard?]

"What? No? We'll rotate otherwise the people at the front would get tired too quickly."

Chance!

[Haw about it, if I take care of the vanguard can I get a bonus?]

"That…sure I guess but only if you stay alive. This is way too risky let's…."

[All good!]

I plant my ass right at the front. Bonus pay is the best haha. I'm not sure if there is such a skill as negotiation in this world, but at this rate, I'll unlock it soon.

The air is wet. The floor is made of slippery stones. Lower is water running through. It's a sewer. Nothing amazing there. The flowing water is kinda cool to look at. It has plenty of colors.

There is just one thing. This water seems to have a weird consistency. This is really weird.

I look closer and that's when I see it.

This is no water. These are all slimes packed together. Transparent ones that are barely discernible.

This is crazy. Such a number and people are just now sent to get rid of them!

This is insane!

What is that? I see something wiggle down there.

*BLOB BLOB*

Seriously what is …

*BOUNCE!*

It's on my head!! Latching on my face! What the hell! I can't see! I'm blind!

[What the hell is this! Get it off me!]

"Careful don't...!"

*SLIP*

What is this falling sensation?! It seems in my confusion I have slipped. The floor is wet after all. I feel something squishy and liquid, yet not, stop my fall.

What is this?! …Slimes obviously. A shitload of slimes! Will I be fine? So far there is no pain. It feels like I am getting a massage. From some squishy soft thing. The best kind of massages really. ;)

SOOO can I just take a nap here? Everything seems fine. I can hear someone grumble from above.

"*Sigh* There goes my pay. Why did you guys even recruit someone as young and inexperienced to join us? This is annoying."

Then comes a few confused voices.

"He's not in our group."

"Yep, never seen him before."

"Yep, he just randomly joined."

Then a now angry guard.

"You guys didn't bother telling me that before we went in! Why?! Now we gotta deal with a dead guy! Goddamnit this is the worst!"

Comes a small voice.

"Well…you didn't ask."

Haha, these guys are hilarious. Kinda true he never did ask who I was. As for them they probably don't care that much. The more the merrier. As long as they get paid it shouldn't matter much to them.

Now how much longer should I listen to their conversation? Should I try to get up and surprise them? To be honest this is just truly too comfortable. Then again, I have a job to do. Also, my companions are waiting for me outside.

Time to make money.

I slowly crawl up the side to get out of the hole I am in.

[Alright, stop arguing guys, time to make money. Remember I want extra for being the vanguard!]

"AH GHOST!!!!"
