That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Satoru Mikami, a lonely 37-year-old corporate worker, is stabbed to death after a random encounter on the street. Instead of passing on, he awakens in a fantasy world as a lowly slime. Blessed with the unique ability 'Predator'—which allows him to absorb the powers and traits of anything he consumes—and 'Great Sage,' an AI-like guide, he begins to explore his new surroundings. As he navigates this dangerous world, he befriends the Storm Dragon Veldora and takes on the name Rimuru Tempest. Rimuru sets out to build a peaceful, multicultural nation where monsters of all kinds can coexist. However, his rapid rise to power draws the attention of powerful demon lords, neighboring human kingdoms, and ancient threats, forcing him to balance diplomacy with overwhelming combat prowess to protect his burgeoning civilization.
