Ryouma Takebayashi

Ryouma previously lived as an office worker in Japan before dying in his sleep. The gods send him to another world as an eight-year-old boy, where he spends three years living in a forest, developing his skills and taming hundreds of slimes whose abilities he uses for combat, hunting, cleaning, and crafting. After meeting the Jamil family, he accepts their warmth without wanting to depend too heavily on their hospitality.
