Luminous: The Slime King's Journey
Haruto Aizawa, a weary 37-year-old salaryman, dies tragically while saving a colleague during a random stabbing. Instead of passing on, he awakens in a strange, otherworldly cavern — but not as a human. He has been reincarnated as a lowly slime, the weakest monster in fantasy lore.
Yet, unlike ordinary slimes, Haruto—now reborn as **Luminus Aether**—possesses extraordinary abilities. Guided by the mysterious voice of an **Ethereal Guide**, he can analyze, absorb, and evolve anything he consumes. His first encounter with the sealed Storm Dragon **Drakion** sparks an unlikely friendship, forming a bond that sets Luminus on the path to greatness.
Venturing beyond the cave, Luminus discovers a struggling goblin tribe, constantly harassed by direwolves and starvation. Though reluctant, he decides to help them, quickly becoming their protector. Through naming rituals, he triggers their evolution, transforming weak goblins into strong warriors and binding wolves as loyal allies. What was once a dying village soon flourishes under his leadership.
But the outside world does not ignore change for long. Other monsters, adventurers, and rival tribes begin to take notice of the growing power surrounding a mysterious slime. As Luminus continues to strengthen his community, he finds himself drawn into larger conflicts—between kingdoms, races, and even ancient powers.
From humble slime to village chief, and perhaps even more, Luminus’s journey is just beginning. Along the way, he will discover not only his true potential but also what it means to build bonds, protect others, and carve out a destiny in a world that never expected greatness from a simple blob of slime.
A tale of rebirth, evolution, and unlikely kingship begins—
