Rimuru Tempest is the protagonist of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime." In his previous life, he was a man named Mikami Satoru. However, he was attacked by a random assailant and died. He was then reincarnated as a slime. When he transforms into a human, he looks like a young girl, but speaks like an old man. This contrast is what makes him such a fascinating character. One of his goals in this life is to "play games while eating potato chips."
Rimuru's Cuteness?

After being reincarnated, the protagonist becomes the slime Rimuru Tempest, but throughout the story, there are many scenes where he seems to enjoy being a slime. As he leaves the cave where he was born after his reincarnation, Rimuru shows off his adorable side in many ways, such as practicing his voice in case he meets someone he can talk to, and hanging from a tree using the "Sticky Thread" skill he acquired from a spider monster. He also shows off his playful side, sometimes using standard jokes from his past life that don't work after reincarnation. His slime appearance really brings out his cuteness, so be sure to check it out.

Let's take a look at Rimuru Tempest's skills. First, let's take a look at his "Great Sage" skill. This skill is an innate skill that Rimuru gained immediate access to after his reincarnation. It allows him to ask questions when he's in trouble and receive answers. Next is "Predator." This skill is also innate and allows him to eat anything. Also, since he died from a stabbing in his previous life, he has resistances to piercing and physical attacks.
