Satoru Mikami and his wife Shiho Mikami Both died a day before their wedding one by knife and one by fall and that is how they went from one world to the next an unknown world where all they wanted was peace That is how we got reincarnated into slim...
I woke up and rubbed my eyes. Suddenly, I realized that I had hands and could see. When I looked down, I noticed that I also had legs. I tried to stand up but ended up falling on my butt. After a sigh, I tried again and successfully stood straight. Then, I thought, "Okay, let's try walking!" I took my first steps and realized I could walk. At that moment, I noticed that I was in a hut made of leaves. As I looked around, I heard rustling and turned to see three women entering.

When they came close, they bowed. "Excuse me, Lady Dahlia, my name is Treyni, and these are my sisters. We are Dryads and we protect the forest by the great goddess of the forest. You were appointed as the new ruler of the forest and all that resides in it. We felt your presence and automatically came to your aid. We humbly serve under your rule."
I stared at them in question. I had so many questions. What is a dryad, and they say I'm their new ruler? That's so much to pile on a person.
I believe I can help with that one. A Dryad is an element that has incarnated into plant life, and their vessels are known as "Dryas trees." They rank near the top of A rank, with some of the stronger ones among them reaching Special A. They are immortal and only rarely leave their sacred dwellings. They have pointed out you as their new ruler according to the lady you encountered earlier, known as the goddess.
"Okay, but what does that mean for me? Do I require any powers? Because the last time I checked, not some time ago, I was a slime and did not have a human body."
To answer that, yes, your rank as you slept went from E Class to S-class, and it's still going higher by the amount of time that passes. By the time it's finished, you will be up to the catastrophe class. Also, your danger level has gone from hazard class to Disaster class and is also reaching the catastrophe class.
"So, in other words, I'm really strong."
Yes.
So, I go from a human from a regular world to a slime just from dying?
Wait, there is something you said earlier before I died. Soulmate trait, does that mean...?
Yes, Satoru Mikami was also reincarnated into this world, but he might be going by a different name.
"Lady Dahlia, I'm sorry to speak out of turn, but we have a pressing matter to discuss."
I turned towards her. Welp, if they see me as a ruler, might as well act like it.
"Yes, what is it?"
She then stood, and so did the others.
"I'm sorry for putting this on you as you have just awoken, but there is an Orc lord. It has made it through our forest, and there is destruction that comes with him and his army."
"Orc Lord??"
"An Orc Lord also known as the Pig-Head Emperor is a very rare and powerful member of the Orc race with high intelligence who appears roughly every few centuries."'
I had thought about this before speaking. "Is there any plan of action towards the individual before I continue?" She smiled and replied, "Yes, there is one thing we were considering. There is an individual now known as Lord Rimuru who may be of help to us. He was once a normal slime like you but is now the ruler of monsters." "Oh, really?" I exclaimed. They all nodded. "I would like to meet this, Lord Rimuru. Maybe we can come up with a way to solve this matter." I then turned to the girls behind her and asked, "You two, what are your names?" They looked at me, surprised, before answering. The one with short hair talked first, "My name is Tyra, my lady." "And my name is Doris, Lady Dahila!" the other one added. I smiled and nodded. "Okay, Tyra and Doris, it's lovely to meet you! You two will come with me. I would like to scout out this Orc Lord before meeting Lord Rimuru." They both nodded and then I turned to Treyni. "Treyni, can you please let Lord Rimuru know that I would like to meet with him to seek help with the Orc Lord and discuss the probability of joining forces? It seems that if he and his village live in the forest, then it would mean we have a common enemy." She smiled, then bowed and disappeared after saying, "Yes, my lady." "Wow, can I do that too, Great Sage?" "Yes, would you like to try?" "Yes, but not right now."
"You two follow me I'm assuming you can also teleport?" "Yes," they both answered. I nodded, and we teleported there.
Rimuru POV
We were in a meeting when a girl with long green hair and white clothes entered and everyone gathered around me as she spoke. "Greetings, Ruler of Monsters and all who are loyal to him. Please pardon my unannounced visit," she said, slightly bowing. "I am a dryad from the forest. Please call me Treyni. It is a pleasure to meet you."
She then looked at me. "Rimuru Tempest, as the ruler of monsters, Lady Dahlia has requested an audience with you to help us defeat the orc lord."
I walked toward her before speaking. "Defeat the orc lord? Are you serious?"
She smiled and said, "Uh-huh!" Before I could say anything, Benimaru stepped forward. "That's quite the request. Seeing as you dropped in out of nowhere, you won't mind answering a few questions. Why did you come to us? Also, the last time I checked, the forest never had a ruler, so who is this Dahlia?"
She smiled. "Lady Dahlia is our new ruler, chosen by the goddess of the forest. She has been helping us, and has graciously agreed to my idea of seeking your help. She is currently scouting out the orc lord before coming here to discuss allying with the ruler of monsters."
"So, the orc lord really exists? Until now, it was only a theory we've come up with."
"Yes, it is."
"That's a new voice," I looked up to see a girl, no, a woman. I could tell just by looking into her eyes that they were different colors. But that was not all I noticed. She was wearing a white dress that practically clung to her skin and had brown skin with long white hair, and two different shades of green at the ends. When it comes down to it, she is beautiful. Then there was the woman behind her, which I'm assuming are dryads, interesting.
"So, I'm assuming you are the Dahlia I've heard about."
