Series synopsis

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follows central protagonist Rimuru, originally introduced as the 37-year-old Satoru Mikami. Mikami is a corporate worker living in Tokyo, content with his monotonous life despite lacking a girlfriend and other significant emotional connections.

During a casual encounter with a colleague, an unseen assailant appears and stabs Mikami, running off shortly thereafter as he bleeds out on the floor. While succumbing to his injuries, Mikami hears an enigmatic voice in his mind reciting a series of seemingly commanding phrases that he can’t make sense of at all.

Mikami then awakens in a new world, finding himself to have been reincarnated into a Slime monster, based on those seen in popular JRPGs such as Dragon Quest. He also acquires new-found skills, such as “Predator,”which lets him devour anything in order to assume its form and powers. After meeting Veldora the Storm Dragon, Rimuru frees him, beginning his new life as the leader of all beings inhabiting the Great Forest of Jura, eventually becoming the nation Tempest.
