Synopsis 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
middle 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.
