Author's Notes:

Okay, just to give two things out of the way.

First don't expect a new chapter every day... I'm just in a writing mood.

Second, I'm looking for an editor to make this better...I feel like I'm making a bunch of mistakes and I need someone to catch them

The Sun rose as the rain stopped and the clouds slowly began to part. I slowly began to get up when the Great Sage spoke.

Be warned five beings stand outside the cave

‘Great.’ I pulled out my sword and slowly made my way to the edge of the cave. “Hey, I know you’re there!” I shouted as five scrawny looking deer walked in.

“Oh great one please help us!” the... I guess the head deer spoke.

“Mmmm Mr. Rimuru what's going on?” Twilight said groggily as she realized the deers were in front of her. “Eep!” she said, hiding behind me.

“Help you with what?” I asked, pretending to be a mighty being much to the confusion of Twilight.

“Our village elder can fill you in on what’s happening but please help us!” the deer begged.

“Alright but I want tributes of food.” I told them as they seemed scared of me.

“O-of course great one.” The deer spoke as I picked up twilight and we began to follow the deer’s to their village.


When we arrived we were brought to a large cabin, well large for the village, It honestly looked like the Goblin village from the anime, “Oh great one we have brought you the tribute of food you asked for.” the deer from before said as two doe placed down two trays of food.

I glanced at Twilight who was hesitant to eat one, so I decided to take a berry from the tray and munch on it. It was a good enough clue for Twilight to start chowing down. “Now where is the village elder?” I asked.

“I’m here oh great one.” An elderly deer said entering the cabin.

“Ah, well met. Your scout mentioned that you needed help.”

“Yes... a few days ago our village was attacked by dire wolves, we barely held them off but lost a majority of our tribe... including my son. Please help us oh great one.” the elder deer said with tears in his eye.

I sighed, it was just like the Goblin village from the anime. “I’d love to help but...what's in it for me?” I asked as they looked devastated by the question.

“We-we don’t have much but we’ll give you our undying loyalty” The elder said. Yep like the goblins.

Before I could answer a howl was heard in the distance and Twilight was pulling on my coat “Mr. Rimuru what's going on?” she asked, scared and confused.

“I’ll help.” I said standing up. “Now let's see to building defenses?” I said as the deer were both happy and confused.


As Night came we built some defenses, just basic pikes and stick walls. Nothing that would keep the wolves out for long but I just needed to kill enough of the wolves to scare them off.

“OUR FANGS CAN TEAR BONES OUR CLAWS CAN SHRED STONE! YOU THINK THAT WALL WILL STOP US?” The pack leader shouted. “ATTACK!” he ordered as the wolves ran in. Only to be stopped by my sticky thread then be killed by arrows from the deer.

“HERE ME DIRE WOLVES LEAVE THESE LANDS AND NEVER RETURN!” I shouted, though in my slime form.

“YOU DARE ORDER US AROUND! YOU PATHETIC SLIME!” The pack leader shouted as he ran towards us.

“Father!” one of the wolves shouted as the wolf charged for me, ripping through the defenses I placed and pouncing on me... only to be stopped midair.

“W-what!” the wolf said squirming.

I sighed, the wolves were as dumb as the ones that attacked the goblin village, “I’ll make this quick, Water Blade!” i said as a blade of water shot out of me and decapitated the wolf, as well as cutting it down. ‘Well, I better make sure my plan works’ I thought to myself as I absorbed the Dire wolf pack leader.

Skill acquired: Fearful shout.

I chuckled as I transformed into a Dire wolf “Hear me pack either submit or flee.” I shouted before doing a roar “GAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOO!” Luckily life imitated art and the pack submitted to me. “Well, that's settled.” I said changing back to my slime form.

“Umm, what happened oh great one.”


The night turned to day as the Deer were afraid of the Dire wolves and the Direwolves were nervous about what would happen next. “Alright everyone, here’s what I want to happen, One deer will pear up with a wolf.”

“Umm lord Rimuru is that such a good idea?” the elder asked.

“Look I know you have your problem with these wolves but they’re under my command, I’m sure they’ll be loyal to us.” I shot a glare at the son of the old pack leader. “Right?”

“Yes master!” the wolf said.

“Now...oh right I never got your names.”

“We... we don’t have names.”

‘Great...” I muttered before asking the great sage ‘Great Sage can you scan the elder. See if he’s similar to the monster from the other world?’

Scanning . . . it would seem a similar pattern in magicules are present. So if given power they might evolve similar to those monsters.

“Alright, I’m going to go ahead and name everyone in the tribe.”

“But that's-” The elder stopped.

“Look it's going to be easier for me. Plus at the end of it, I get a three-day nap.” I joked

“If you are sure, great Rimuru.” The elder said not understanding what I meant.

The next hour was spent gathering the tribe and waiting for everyone to get names. I came up with names pretty fast. The elder was named Rigurd after the goblin elder/chief. I just thought of random names like Jarm and Poru, they seemed excited to get names but also confused as to why I made it a big deal. Another hour passed as I named all 50 Deer in the village, then came the dire wolf son... “I think I’ll name you Ranga Tempest, you are now of my blood.” I said... before passing out ‘There it is.’ was my last thought.


Three days later I awoke to two bipedal deer ladies tending me. “Oh Lord Rimaru you're awake. We’ll go get the elder.” one of the deer ladies said before running off.

‘She was cute...’ I thought before mentally sighing... I hated being a slime sometimes... I miss my son.

“FATHER!” A voice shouted as a Giant wolf burst through the hut.

“Ranga, good to see you boy.”

“Mr. Rimuru!” a smaller voice said from behind Ranga.

“Ah, Twilight-” I said as she got close to me and smacked my slime head. “Ow.” I said faking being hurt I guess she was scared.

“Lord Rimuru.” a semi-familiar voice spoke.

“Ah elder Rigurd, how were things while I napped?” I asked.
