Max Mikami lived a quiet life alongside his brother, Satoru Mikami, in the mundane world.
But their peaceful existence came to a sudden, violent end when they were both killed by a thief in an unprovoked attack.
Death, however, was not the end for the brothers.
Satoru awakens in a fantastical new world, reincarnated as a strange, gooey creature: a slime with untapped potential and endless possibilities.
Meanwhile, Max's soul takes a darker turn, reincarnated as a little Icon of Sin, a harbinger of destruction clad in a sleek Maykr-designed suit of glowing white armor pulsing with the ominous power of Argent Energy.
To his surprise, the voice of Samuel Hayden, a calculating and enigmatic entity, echoes in his mind, offering guidance-or manipulation.
The two brothers are reborn in the same mysterious cave, their forms vastly different but their bond as strong as ever.
As Satoru begins his journey to reshape the world as Rimuru Tempest, Max struggles to control the destructive power of his demonic form while unraveling the truth behind his reincarnation and Hayden's cryptic motives.
Together, the brothers must navigate the strange new world, encountering allies and enemies, gods and demons.
Will Max succumb to the dark instincts of his new form, or can the bond with his brother and the fragments of his humanity guide him toward a greater purpose?
And as Rimuru seeks to build a world of unity, can he trust his brother, whose very existence threatens to tear it apart?
In a world where creation and destruction walk hand in hand, the Mikami brothers will redefine destiny-one as a bringer of peace, the other as a force of chaos.
