Search Worlds Without End

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!

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...

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?!

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...

WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS!

Despite Rimuru's absence, things seem to be proceeding fairly smoothly in the newborn nation of Tempest. But there's trouble brewing elsewhere: The nearby Kingdom of Farmus's top brass are planning an invasion of Tempest, and at the same time, Rimuru's demon lord friend Milim Nava has declared war on Tempest's ally, the Beast Kingdom of Eurazania. As if things couldn't get any worse, all communication between Rimuru and his crew back home has suddenly gone silent in their hour of need! Tempest may be in for some hard times ahead-but this steadfast slime isn't throwing in the towel just yet. He has a plan... and it's downright demonic!

A meeting of demonic minds!

Newly minted demon lord Rimuru has received word of a special assembly of all ten demon lords known as the Walpurgis Council. It just so happens that the topic of this particular meeting is how to best punish Rimuru for assuming his new title without their permission. Fortunately, he's got friends in high places who are willing to vouch for his authenticity, and this council could be the perfect opportunity to get revenge on the demon lord Clayman for the violence he brought to Tempest. Is this blobby big shot cunning enough to kill two birds with one stone?

A gutsy glob in crisis!

News of the demon lord Clayman's defeat by Rimuru shakes the Holy Empire of Lubelius to its core-especially since the chief knight of the nation's Imperial Guard and captain of the Crusader forces, Hinata Sakaguchi, launched a bold attack on Rimuru not long ago. Things look only more dire when a priest sent by Rimuru to attend an urgent meeting of Lubelius bigwigs ends up murdered. The stakes couldn't be higher for either side as Hinata heads to Tempest to settle things-one wrong move could spell total warfare!

Let the good times roll!

It's festival time in Tempest, and this demon slime knows how to throw a party! After reconciling with Hinata and the Western Holy Church, Rimuru's pulling out all the stops to prepare a massive bash in his nation of monsters-with a little help from his many friends and allies! It's the perfect opportunity to debut his new demon lord title while showing the world everything the Jura-Tempest Federation has to offer. Will this big event go off without a hitch?

AN EVENT OF MONSTROUS PROPORTIONS!

The Tempest Founder's Festival is in full swing, with Rimuru and all the monsters under him keeping busy setting up the attractions. From live concerts to incredible feats of monster engineering (most notably, the massive dungeon), revelers are sure to have their minds blown. But all eyes are on the main event-the First Tempest Battle Tournament-and who should decide to participate but the Hero himself, Lightspeed Masayuki! What will come of his chance encounter with the demon lord Rimuru?

AN INSATIABLE GREED

The Tempest Founder's Festival was a roaring success, and after working out a few kinks, the Advanced Dungeon is proving to be a major Tempest tourist attraction. Now Rimuru's next objective is to join the infamous Council of the West--however, a certain influential figure working from the shadows of the Council has no intention of allowing someone as powerful as Rimuru to take a seat at the table, and she will stop at nothing to quietly snuff him out before he makes any moves!

A RACE AGAINST TIME

Rimuru and his team are headed for the Holy Empire of Lubelius to organize the concert he promised Luminus, its leader. But as preparations continue, a fiendish conspiracy involving both demon lords is being laid out behind the scenes. There may not be much time for music after all... especially with a third demon lord on the hunt for a certain otherworlder in Rimuru's care!

THE GEARS OF WAR BEGIN TO TURN

Threatened by Tempest's continued rapid expansion, the Eastern Empire finally starts setting the stage for all-out war with the monster nation. According to Chloe, the time-traveling Hero, there exists a timeline in which the Empire kills Rimuru and Tempest subsequently collapses. While Rimuru's doom isn't set in stone, his victory isn't a foregone conclusion either. This may be a different timeline, but the slime demon lord nonetheless steps up his guard--and just as he does, several Imperial spies infiltrate Tempest...

ABANDON HOPE, ALL WHO ENTER HERE

The Eastern Empire's vast army (over 900,000 strong) is ready to invade the Forest of Jura. Thanks to Ramiris's mind-boggling powers, Tempest's entire capital--buildings, inhabitants, and all--has been evacuated into the nation's labyrinthine Dungeon. While Primal Demons Testarossa and Ultima kick some serious imperial butt over on the front lines, the rest of the Empire's army attempts to storm the Dungeon. Little does the enemy know, however, that they're about to face a devastating bloodbath at the hands of Tempest's own mighty forces...

HERE BE DRAGONS

Having easily thwarted the Eastern Empire's invasion, Rimuru wishes to end the conflict once and for all and therefore heads for the imperial capital to take out the source. Meanwhile, Yuuki has worked his way up the Empire's hierarchy with the intention of staging a coup and usurping the throne. It doesn't take long for Rimuru to learn that the Empire's true power is on a whole different level compared to what he's seen so far... And it turns out he isn't the only ruler with a dragon at his side!>

After a fierce battle, Veldora has fallen into the enemy's clutches, and Rimuru is furious. The order comes down to unleash a massacre, and Benimaru and the other Tempest executives couldn't be more thrilled. The fuse has been lit for the final battle between Tempest and the Eastern Empire. But if he wants to save Veldora, Rimuru will need to evolve even further. It's time to release the power he's been holding back!

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...

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-than proper 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!

ANGELS AND DEMONS AND MONSTERS

The seraphim force led by Michael proceeds with its plans for invasion, and the Octagram's eight demon lords assemble once more for a Walpurgis Council to determine their response. They need to act fast, for Michael's Ultimate Dominion skill has brought even Velzard--a True Dragon and Veldora's eldest sister--under his control. How will they solve this conundrum? Rimuru isn't sure yet, but as he readies Tempest for war, he'll soon discover a lot of his problems are much closer to home than he thought...

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...
