Mikami Satoru, a 37-year-old Tokyo office worker, is content with his routine life, although he’s never had a girlfriend. His ordinary existence takes a shocking turn during a casual chat with a colleague when he is suddenly attacked and stabbed by a stranger. As Satoru faces death, a strange voice fills his mind, issuing incomprehensible commands.
Waking up in a new world, Satoru finds himself reincarnated as a slime. In this form, he gains the ability to consume anything and acquire its appearance and skills. His new life takes an interesting twist when he encounters the powerful “Storm Dragon” Veldora, who has been imprisoned for 300 years for laying waste to a town. Feeling empathy for Veldora, Satoru befriends him and agrees to help break his seal. In gratitude, Veldora gives Satoru a new name, Rimuru Tempest, along with divine protection.
Freed from his previous mundane existence, Rimuru sets off on a unique adventure, aiming to make the most of his slime identity. As he adapts to his new abilities, Rimuru’s actions begin to influence and reshape the world around him.
