Episode 1

Reincarnated Without Memories (記憶を無くした転生者, Kioku o Nakushita Tenseisha) is the first episode of the Black Summoner anime series.

Summary
The god from his world mistakenly caused Kelvin Celsius to die and be reincarnated into another world by the Goddess of Reincarnation. Despite his affection for her, he'll have no memories of her or his previous life due to reincarnation. As a plus, however, he'll receive an assortment of new skills to use in the new world as a trade-off for his reincarnation.



Awakening in a forest, a menu pops up in front of Kelvin that relays a message from the Goddess of Reincarnation detailing his reincarnation situation, the world he's in, and his stats. Looking at his stats on the menu and finding out he's a Summoner, the menu suggests heading to the nearby town and registering as an adventurer at the Adventurer's Guild there. Wasting no time, the two head to the nearby town, and Kelvin learns that his pre-reincarnation self added the Goddess of Reincarnation as something he "tamed", much to his chagrin.



Arriving in the town of Parth, Kelvin reveals how Melfina became the Goddess of Reincarnation and how he convinced her to become his tamed companion. It's also revealed that Kelvin gave up his previous-life memories in exchange for more skill points. He then asks if he'd be able to summon her; however, Melina reveals that Kelvin is unable to do it as his MP level isn't adequate as of yet. Soon, Kelvin talks with the Guild Receptionist at the lively Adventurers Guild to register there. Kelvin can read and write in that world thanks to his "Understand Language" and Literacy" skills and is able to register himself in the guild. To avoid attracting attention from the nation lords because of his title "Summoner", Kelvin puts himself down as a Green Mage. Once registered as an F Rank Adventurers, the receptionist discloses the guild's ranking system and other pertinent information. For his first job, Kelvin chooses to hunt Blue Slimes as the first quest he'll take on.



Afterward, Kelvin purchases a wooden rod from the weapons store and heads to the grassy plains outside Parth to search for some Blue Slimes. Upon finding some, Kelvin uses his S-Ranked "Appraisal Eye" on them and learns their stats. Learning from Melfina that one must gain a monster's "consent" by weakening them, Kelvin decides not to use his magic and instead use his wooden rod to attack them. However, this attempt fails and causes him to get struck in the stomach by one of the slimes. Despite this, Kelvin continues to try and fight it and is soon able to make a contract with the slime. Kelvin names his new slime companion Clotho and learns he can communicate with his companions through wordless contact. After calling that skill his "Servant Network", Kelvin summons Clotho and, with his help, defeats the slimes in the area.

Returning to the town with enough gold for a room and board at an inn, Kelvin takes a detour down an alleyway and finds a slave trader showcasing his slaves for sale. One in which a half-blooded elf catches Kelvin's eye, but he pays no mind to it. Later, Kelvin gets a room at the Spirit's Song Inn and enjoys a meal there. The following day, Kelvin goes on a monster-hunting spree with Clotho.
