As avid gamers of Monster Hunter and Dungeons & Dragons, we are well aware that slimes are not exactly the epitome of fantasy monster greatness. So, when a 37-year-old Tokyo salaryman finds himself transported to a world of elves and magic after passing away, he must admit that he is somewhat disheartened to discover that he has transformed into a blind, boneless slime monster. Mikami's middle age has not unfolded as he had envisioned: He has never found a significant other, his career has remained stagnant in a dead-end job, and tragically, he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at the age of 37. When he awakens in a new world that resembles a fantasy RPG, he is initially disappointed but not entirely surprised to find himself confronting a dragon, not as a valiant knight or powerful wizard, but as a blind slime demon. However, it is possible for even a slime to rise to the status of a hero.

Despite his initial despair, Mikami refuses to give up hope. He embarks on a journey to explore this new world and discover his true identity. Along the way, he encounters various creatures, both friendly and hostile, and learns about the different powers and abilities that he possesses as a slime. With determination and perseverance, Mikami begins to train and develop his skills, using his unique abilities to overcome obstacles and defeat formidable enemies.

As he progresses, Mikami discovers that he has a deep connection to the natural world and its inhabitants. He learns to communicate with plants and animals, using his slime body to absorb their nutrients and energy. He also discovers that he has the ability to shape-shift, allowing him to transform into various forms and adapt to different environments.

With his newfound powers and knowledge, Mikami becomes a valuable ally to the inhabitants of the world. He joins forces with other creatures, both human and non-human, to fight against the forces of darkness and protect the innocent. He faces numerous challenges and obstacles along the way, but his determination and resilience help him to overcome them all.

In the end, Mikami emerges as a hero, revered by all who know him. He has proven that even the most unlikely creatures can become heroes, and that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible. His journey has taught him valuable lessons about life, love, and the power of the human spirit, and he leaves a legacy that will inspire generations to come.
