Chapter 1

"My name is Rimuru Tempest and I am a slime."

"Most people know that, but today when I woke up, something was different."

I went to bed last night normally, but when I woke up I was no longer in my room in Tempest, I was lying on the floor with my back propped up on a large rock.

"Where am I?"

I look up at the sky and then to the left and right. The surroundings don't look familiar. I get up and start walking around a bit, but after a short while I turn back into a slime.

Rimuru is on the floor as slime, normally Rimuru's clothes stay on the floor, but not this time. They are gone, Rimuru bounces around the rock hoping he can jump up on it.

Rimuru finds a spot on the other side of the stone. He jumps on the stone, at the top of the stone Rimuru can see over the trees. Every time Rimuru jumps up, he can see over the trees.

Rimuru discovers a small town that is in the direction of the north. Rimuru jumps down from the rock and runs north. He runs for about half an hour until he sees a large house through the trees.

He hops around the building and peers around the corner of the house. In front of the house are two Mariene soldiers. Rimuru walks back behind the house. "What is this place?" Rimuru hops to the other side of the house, in front of which the two Mariene soldiers are standing.

To the left of the house is a small shed. Around the shed are mariene soldiers again. Rimuru spots a hole in the back wall of the shed. Rimuru looks to see if the soldiers are watching him and then jumps through the hole into the shed.

When Rimuru jumps into the shed, he can't see anything because his eyes are used to sunlight. But after a short while, Rimuru can see inside the shed and sees a young man in the corner of the shed.

Rimuru slowly hops in the young man's direction. "Hello...is everything alright with you?" The young man sitting in the corner flinches and says, "Who are you...and what are you doing here."

"What am I? I'm a slime and what am I doing here? I'm not really sure either." Rimuru bounces a little in the man's direction. "Wait a minute, I can talk, can't I?"

"Yes, of course I can talk, why wouldn't I be able to talk?" replies Rimuru. After Rimuru answers the question, the two hear something move outside the shed. Then the door slowly opens and the man sitting in the corner says. "Come here quickly before they see you." Rimuru quickly hops behind the man.

The door opens and a Marine comes running in. Why is it so loud in here!" He yells and runs toward the man and Rimuru. On the ground, he almost grabs the man by the neck and pushes him against the shed wall. "What was that, you shouldn't tell me. You don't have much time left anyway." Then he laughs at him and runs out of the shed again. He closes the door behind him.

Rimuru hops out from behind the man and looks at him. "Why did he say you didn't have much time left?" asks Rimuru. "Well, because I'm a pirate and will soon spend the rest of my life in a dungeon. Rimuru looks a little confused. "What is Impel Down?" The man looks a little confused, but then says, "Impel Down is a maximum security prison. It's where the worst criminals and pirates are held."

"Ok and why do you get in there." The man starts laughing and then says. "Because I belonged to a pirate gang." Rimuru doesn't quite understand and then says. "Then why don't you try to run away?" "Well, I could try, but I'd never make it." Rimuru looks a little confused and then asks. "Why didn't you make it?"

"You must have passed by or seen the house. The size?" Rimuru jumps once in the air and gives him the sign that he passed it. "Okay, that house is where Admiral Fujitora is. And I never get past him."

"Why can't you ever get past him?" asks Rimuru. "Because he's way too strong. I'm just too weak...but you should go slowly now, because I'm about to be picked up and then taken downstairs...it was very nice to talk to someone again before I'm taken downstairs." He smiles once more.

Rimuru turns and hops over to the hole in the wall he came in through. Before running back out through the hole, he turns around and says. "I'm very sorry I can't help you, I just came into this world and I'm still a little confused. I am strong, but I don't know how strong the others are, so I am sorry."

Rimuru finds it hard to run away now and not be able to do anything. With a heavy heart, Rimuru hops out of the shed through the hole.

Rimuru hops a little further before turning around once more. And then he quickly hops back into the forest. It's not long before he comes upon a cave. He stands in front of the cave in his slime form and considers whether or not to jump into the cave.

After about five minutes, he decides not to jump into the cave, but to keep walking, because Rimuru doesn't know if and how strong the monsters are in this world. Rimuru continues jumping until he reaches the beach. He thinks again of the man who was sitting in the small shed.

But Rimuru can't help now anyway, he walks along the beach for a while until he sees a small sailing ship. Rimuru jumps onto the ship and looks inside. At the same moment Rimuru hears a young girl's voice behind him saying. "aaaa...that's cute." Rimuru turns around and sees a little girl with blonde hair and a red dress looking at him.

She then lifts Rimuru up and presses him to her face. Rimuru sees a young man come running out of the forest. "Ava, what is that thing you have in your hand? Put it back on the ground, we don't know if it's dangerous," he yells and runs towards the two.

When he gets to Rimuru and the girl, he lifts the girl up, causing Rimuru to fall to the ground. Because he fell on the ground, he turns into his human form. Rimuru looks a little confused and then jumps up. The girl starts to cry. "Wah...where did that cute blue thing go?"

"Who are you and what are you doing with my daughter?" Rimuru is still very confused about what just happened." To be honest, I don't know, but I can introduce myself. Hello, my name is Rimuru Tempest and I am a Slime. Before you ask me how I got here, I can tell you that I have no idea."

"Ok...good afternoon Mr. Tempest, but before we continue talking, can you put some clothes on?" Rimuru looks left and right, then says. "I'm very sorry, but I don't have anything to wear." The man walks over to a small box sitting in the sand.
