Chapter 1: Death and Reincarnation
37-year-old Satoru Mikami wakes up from a dream where he was a bossy slime that could turn into a beautiful girl (or boy). Reminiscing about so, and whether he secretly desired such a life, he heads out for his lunch plans with his junior colleague from work Tamura and his new girlfriend Miho Sawatari. Realizing the situation, he playfully cursed Tamura for wanting to show off the prettiest girl at work in his mind, but also at the same time decided to be a responsible senior and properly give them his blessings.

As the trio finally decided to walk to their desired eatery after having a small exchange of words, they hear the shrieks of nearby people and the shout of a crazy man running towards them with a knife in his hand. Since he was heading straight towards Tamura, Satoru immediately shoved him away but was unable to move aside himself as the knife was jabbed into his abdomen followed by the man ceaselessly continued running in the same direction.

Satoru fell to the ground and one after another described his regrets, each followed by a strange computer-like voice responding to them and giving some kind of counter for them. Unbeknownst to him, he was being reincarnated to a different world where all the things the voice spoke were qualities he got. The body of a Slime for him fearing death due to blood loss. The Unique Skill Predator for wanting to 'devour' all women in his next life. The Extra Skill Sage for being a virgin until his 30s, which was almost immediately evolved into Unique Skill Great Sage for being a virgin till almost his 40s.

As a slime it didn't take long for Satoru to get used to his body, however, he lost all his human senses except for touch. having so many questions about the surroundings and his new life, his Unique Skill Great Sage decided to borrow the verbal speech system from the Voice of the World to answer all his queries. Thanks to that he realized he was in the Sealed Cave (or Cave of the Seal) and all the grass he had been leisurely munching and dissolving was a potent healing herb called the Hipokte Grass. He also learns about the effects of his Unique Skill Predator, thus establishing his random goal of eating all the available Hipokte Grass and storing them for future use.

Ultimately, he got too careless on his speed eating and fell into a lake and assumed he would drown, only to realize that slimes could not drown since they didn't breath and stayed alive only by feeding on surrounding Magicules. Immediately he got an idea to launch himself out of the water by absorbing a large amount of it and ejecting it out. It didn't go as intended and he shot himself really fast and unknowingly crashed into a barrier where the one called the "Storm Dragon" Veldora sat.

Veldora called out to him with telepathy and they discussed many things about the world. At first, it was simply Veldora boasting about being defeated by a strong Hero who sealed him in this cave and he also told him about various aspects of the world. He also taught Satoru how to use Magic Sense which allowed him to 'see' for the first time. Although he was afraid at first, he soon realized that Veldora was just lonely and needed someone to talk to since he had been stuck there for 300 years. He asked if he wanted to be friends with him and after a comical exchange, Veldora agreed. He attempted analyzing the Infinite Prison and failed, but then suggested that it would be better for Veldora to reside in the Stomach of his Predator and send Great Sage as much information as he can about Infinite Prison so that it can analyze it properly.

Veldora agreed since it was far more interesting than just sitting there waiting until he returned. But just before he was about to be eaten, Veldora decided to name the unnamed Slime to provide him with a Divine Protection and told him to think of the last name for both of them to establish a relationship of equal footing. Thus, the slime protagonist came to be known as Rimuru Tempest and his best friend Veldora Tempest.

Finally, there was a short cameo about various leading powers being shocked at the disappearance of the presence of the fearsome Storm Dragon, followed by Rimuru learning the Skill Water Blade and reminiscing about hearing the name 'Rimuru' somewhere in his dream back in his old world, as he continued to travel towards the exit of the cave.

Chapter 2: Guardian of the Goblin Village
While the rest of world is troubled about the disappearance of the Storm Dragon Veldora, and the increase in monster activity in the Jura Forest, Rimuru Tempest, makes his way out of the Sealed Cave, stumbling upon an adventurer trio that he manages to avoid, a few monsters that he defeats and predates on, and finally meeting a few goblins who came to check out the source of the immense magical force; and if possible, ask for help.

Chapter 3: Master of the Direwolves
After using several recovery potions that he made on the goblins, Rimuru begins to set up a plan using his skills to set up a defense of the goblin village. After gaining sight on the village, the wolf boss is warned of the slime's threat. The wolves still begin to attack, finding themselves fighting an uphill battle as they cannot break the defenses. The boss soon challenges the defenses, only to be killed. After using Predator on the direwolf boss, Rimuru issues a warning to the surviving wolves to run. The wolf clan, however, submits themselves. After this event, Rimuru chooses to name all the members of the village, including the direwolves. After falling into a recovery sleep for three days from naming, he reawakens, startled to find all of the village member's appearances changed.

Chapter 4: Head for the Dwarf Kingdom
Seeing the need for experienced constructors to rebuild the goblin village as well as to establish trading partners, Rimuru and a handful of goblins depart to the Armed Nation of Dwargon, the Drawen Kingdom northward the goblin village along the great river.

For a journey that takes two-months to travel on foot, the party arrived sooner by riding the newly evolved Tempest Wolves. While resting at night during the journey, Rimuru learns more about the Dwarven Kingdom from the tales recounted by the goblins as they dine.

After three days, they arrive just outside the border of the Dwarven Kingdom. Leaving the rest on standby, Rimuru and Gobuta alone travel to the gates where many travelers line up for inspection to enter the kingdom.

However, before they could peacefully enter the gates, they are harassed by a due of humans who attempt to rob them of their valuables.

Chapter 5: The Dwarven Craftsman
As Rimuru was held prisoner in the Armed Nation of Dwargon, he then discovered that a group of miners was baldly injured and the miners do not have any healing potions with them. Rimuru overheard the guards conversation and provide them with a barrel filled with the Hipokte healling potion. Rimuru was then introduced to the best blacksmiths Kaidou knows in the world, his brothers. The Kaijins were busy at the moment of Rimuru's arrival. The Kaijins were busy making 20 Magic Swords from a request from a wicked minister named "Vesta."

Chapter 6: The Fated One
As a reward for helping with the order, the dwarfs decides to take Rimuru to a bar staffed by Elves. Seeing Rimuru, the elfs find him cute and he takes all of their attention.

The dwarfs again thank Rimuru with Kaijin commenting it took all of his might to forge one, but Rimuru states he only replicated the sword Kaijin made and that he is truly a great blacksmith. Knowing how good Kaijin is, he knows it will be hard for him to leave his country and come to his village and is fine with the party reward. One of the elves offer to do fortune telling on Rimuru about his fated person. While he thinks about how his fated person may look and if its going to be a slime or even how do slimes produce, an image appears on the elf's crystal ball. Rimuru recalls he had seen the woman before and that it looks similar to him in his dream. Kaijin recognizes her as Shizue Izawa, a hero from the adventure's guild and that she is retired now. Her name makes Rimuru believe she is Japanese.

Vesta appears and complains there is a slime demon. The elves try to explain its just a gentlemanly slime. Annoyed by that, Vesta pours water on Rimuru and comments that you need to threat demons that way. Rimuru tries to remain calm to not cause trouble, especially to Kaijin, however Kaijin loses his temper and punches Vesta. Rimuru wonders if that was okay as he may get kicked out of the country, but Kaijin comments that Rimuru had already prepared a place for him.

Kaidou is sent to arrest them for attacking the minister and two days later the dwarfs and Rimuru's trial begin in front of the king, Gazel Dwargo.
