Sinopsis of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
Satoru Mikami, 37, is a typical corporate worker who is
perfectly content with his monotonous lifestyle in Tokyo, apart from not having
gotten a girlfriend even once in his life. In the midst of a chance encounter
with his colleague, he falls victim to a random assailant on the street and is
stabbed. However, as he succumbs to his wounds, a peculiar voice echoes in his
mind and recites a slew of orders that the dying man cannot make sense of. When
Satoru regains consciousness, he discovers that he has been reincarnated into a
slime in an unknown realm. By doing so, he gains new abilities, most notably
the power to devour anything and imitate its appearance and abilities.
He then stumbles upon the catastrophic-level sealed
monster “Storm Dragon” Veldora, who has been sealed for the past 300 years for
razing a city. Understanding his situation, Satoru befriends him and promises
to help him destroy the seal. In exchange, Veldora gives him the name Rimuru
Tempest to grant him divine protection. Now, freed from the mundanities of his
past life, Rimuru embarks on a new journey with a clear goal in mind. As he
becomes accustomed to his new physique, his clingy antics spread throughout the
world, gradually altering his destiny.
