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.
