When Satoru awakens he discovers that he has been turned into a slime.

With nothing else to do while he comes to terms with his condition Mikami eats Hipokte Grass and collects Magic Ore and eventually, after three months, settles into his Great Sage powers and gains a... odd companion in the form of a voice in his head that explains various things about the things that Mikami comes into contact with. Eventually, Mikami accidentally launches himself into Veldora while learning how to swim.

Veldora teaches the blind slime how to see using magic through which Mikami finally confirms that he indeed has been turned into a slime, as well as learning the identity of his teacher, Veldora the Storm Dragon. Three hundred years ago, Veldora was trapped in the cave using the magic spell Unlimited Imprisonment by a hero, and now he only expects to live for another hundred years before his dwindling magical power finally kills him.
