Satoru Mikami was a lonely 37-year-old man who was in a dead-end job, but was satisfied with his monotonous and mundane lifestyle. He wanted to have an intimate relationship with a woman, which he failed to do.

Everything was the same, and he had a casual encounter with a colleague of his. Unfortunately, he was the victim of a stabbing that was committed by an armed assailant. Moments before his death, a peculiar voice communicated with him.

When he regained consciousness, he realized that he had been reincarnated as slime with a specific set of powers. He developed the ability to devour anything and replicate its abilities. He came across Veldora, a powerful dragon that was sealed off for destroying a town. He befriended the dragon and in turn bestowed the name Rimuru Tempest to the slime, which granted him divine protection.

Rimuru’s new journey would be arduous and long, filled with ups and downs as he encountered powerful characters along the way.
