Lonely thirty-seven-year-old Satoru Mikami is stuck in a dead-end job, unhappy with his mundane life, but after dying at the hands of a robber, he awakens to a fresh start in a fantasy realm...as a slime monster! As he acclimates to his goopy new existence, his exploits with the other monsters set off a chain of events that will change his new world forever!

TIMES ARE CHANGING FOR THE WORLD! After a furious battle with the orc lord, peace has once again returned to the Forest of Jura. Rimuru may be heading up the Great Forest of Jura Alliance, but he's most worried about finishing his town...until a visit from King Gazel Dwargo of the dwarves turns everything upside down! Not only that, but Rimuru is about to have a run-in with Milim Nava, an exceptionally dangerous demon lord known as the "Destroyer." What's a slime to do?!

DAYS OF THEIR LIVES The series’s first short story collection takes a deep dive into the epic tale’s fantasy world—and what its characters get up to when Rimuru isn’t running the show! Gard Mjöllmile, the most powerful human member of Tempest’s government, is up to some less-thanproper dealings in the Western Nations; Velgrynd gets involved with a familiar-looking planet as she traces the trail of her lover; Caligulio starts facing up to his past as he strives to rebuild the Empire; and Raine, Primal Demon servant of the demon lord Guy Crimson, has a complaint or two about her toxic work environment. All that plus an extra tale you won’t want to miss in this stellar collection!

Rimuru has emerged victorious in the war against the Eastern Empire, but between the ultimate skill Michael hijacking Emperor Ludora’s body and the mystic lord Feldway’s secret machinations, he still has a lot left on his plate. Plus, a recent fight at the labyrinth—which occurred while Rimuru was busy with his own climactic battle—revealed serious flaws in Tempest’s defenses. Now that he’s finally got a moment to breathe, it’s time for everyone’s favorite slime to address some major infrastructure issues with his team...

HE’S DONE FIGHTING EVIL...NOW IT’S TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS! When the Hero Blade defeated the Overlord, he lost all his powers. For him, this should be a dream come true—he can finally experience life as a normal student. Unfortunately, as a veteran Hero at a school meant to train future Heroes, he has little chance of blending in. What’s more, the students Blade meets there, like him, have a rather skewed view of what’s “normal.” He’ll have to contend with the school’s overbearing Empress and her icy glares, his own way-too-flashy attacks, and even an escaped dragon! Despite it all, can Blade manage to make friends and enjoy school life without exposing his true identity?

Rimuru and his forces fight heroically on all fronts to stop Michael’s plan...only to lose the demon lord Leon to Feldway’s schemes. Michael’s next target is Masayuki the Hero, who possesses the soul of Ludora, Michael’s former host. There to meet him in battle are the paladin Hinata, the Primal Demon Blanc, and Velgrynd the Flame Dragon. But just when Michael begins to set things in motion, the situation devolves even further into chaos...

AN EVOLUTIONARY TRIUMPH Following a fierce battle against his sister Velgrynd, Rimuru’s steadfast ally Veldora has fallen into the enemy’s clutches. An enraged Rimuru gives the order to massacre his foes, a request his Tempest top brass couldn’t be more thrilled to oblige. Once Rimuru’s demon underlings evolve en masse, the final battle between Tempest and the Eastern Empire will begin in earnest. But if Rimuru wants to save Veldora, he’ll need to undergo an evolution of his own. It’s time to unleash the power he’s been holding back!

37-year-old Satoru Mikami got a new lease on life when he was reincarnated into another world...as a slime named Rimuru Tempest. But with the help of his wits, his newfound powers, and a little luck, he's started building a cross-species village of goblins, direwolves, and dwarves! Rimuru doesn't know it yet, but his arrival is bringing major changes to his new world...

NO REST FOR A NATION-BUILDING SLIME! Now that Rimuru's monster-centric town has blossomed into a bona fide independent nation, it's time for his next step: build and maintain diplomatic relations with nearby countries! With a group of his trusty monster pals, Rimuru travels to the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania and the Dwarven Kingdom to meet with their respective heads of state and represent his domain as best as a slime possibly can. As if there wasn't already enough on Rimuru's mind, the otherworlder Shizu has been visiting him in his dreams, begging him to save her former students. Looks like that'll be another stop on this pliable pioneer's itinerary...

THE BEAST AWAKENS After his humiliating defeat at the hands of Milim, Demon Lord Carrion’s follower Phobio seethes with anger. His negative emotions make him a perfect vessel for the legendary Charybdis, so Footman and Tear of the Moderate Harlequin Alliance pay Phobio a visit in the hopes of summoning the grand beast. Before long, Rimuru receives a report that Charybdis has indeed come to life, and is heading for Tempest. Where f irst there were just rumors of this conspiracy, now there’s the telltale smoke of an approaching battle…
