The main character is Ryoma Takebayashi, a 39-year-old single salaryman working as a system engineer for a black company. Ryoma meets an untimely end in his apartment alone. He was called to the heavenly realm, but the God of Creation, the Goddess of Love, and the God of Life asked for his cooperation, and he was reborn in another world in the form of a child. The 8-year-old Ryoma begins to live a carefree life alone in a deep forest, enjoying his new life while immersing himself in the study of slimes. Surrounded by kind people, Ryoma enjoys every day of his life in this slow-life fantasy.
