Yuki groaned as he picked himself up from the dirt. His stomach growled. He had no food, no weapons, and no clue how to survive.
This is ridiculous. They summoned me, then abandoned me?
As he wandered through the dense forest, he spotted something.
A small, blue slime bounced toward him.
Oh, it's just a weak enemy. Maybe I can punch it to death?
SPLASH!
The slime lunged, smacking into his chest. It burned.
Ding! Mysterious Skill Activated!Analyzing Attack… Copying… Adapting…
A sudden surge of power rushed through Yuki's veins. His skin hardened, becoming slightly gelatinous.
"Wait… did I just copy the slime?"
The slime bounced toward him again. This time, Yuki instinctively dodged. His body moved faster than before.
Acting on reflex, he punched the slime.
SPLAT! The creature exploded into blue goop.
Ding! You have gained [Basic Regeneration] and [Impact Resistance].
His burns vanished. His body felt lighter.
My skill… it only activates when I'm attacked?
He stared at his hands. The kingdom called me a Zero, but if this ability keeps adapting… I might become unstoppable.
