This story depicts an alternate timeline wherein Velzard attends Walpurgis after sensing Veldora's presence. She subsequently meets our protagonist and becomes interested in him after his display at the meeting. After thinking for a bit, she decides to move to Tempest and becomes a close ally of Rimuru. Rimuru and Velzard will sometimes be out of character since it's unavoidable. Our protagonist will be more rational and have an actual spine, while Velzard will not be as cold and ruthless as her canon counterpart. Besides, Velzard lacks substantial characterization, so I decided to write my own interpretation of her personality based on the original light novel. I recommend at least having seen the second season of the anime since my story will pick up from there. This fanfic will follow the main story beats of the original light novel, so some arcs will be glossed over with minor changes. I'm somewhat OC, so expect a lot of chapter edits or updates, as I tend to reread chapters and catch minor mistakes here and there. (Note that this is Book 1 for the full story.) Also, it goes without saying that I do not own the series 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime.' Check out and read the original light novel written by Fuse.

He was the most ordinary college student imaginable. A life so painfully normal it felt abnormal-like the world itself had quietly excluded him from anything interesting. Day after day, he chased desires he could never quite reach. Until the moment he threw himself in front of death to save a dear friend... and actually caught it. Even as his life slipped away, a fierce, stubborn hunger remained. A will that refused to disappear. And the universe, perhaps amused, decided to answer that hunger. Reborn into a brand-new world, he awakens not as another forgettable human... but as a **Primordial Demon**. This time, he won't settle for average. This time, he'll seize every desire, devour every challenge, and live so fully that even eternity might feel too short. After all, when you're handed a second life as one of the oldest and strongest demons in existence, "holding back" isn't exactly on the menu. This is the story of a boy who died average... and was reincarnated as anything but.
