Bookroo's summary

A Tokyo salaryman, unexpectedly reborn as a blind slime in a magical realm, faces a new life filled with dragons and magic. Despite his unimpressive form, he must navigate this fantastical world, seeking opportunities to rise above his humble beginnings. Can he transform from a lowly creature into a hero, or will he remain a mere monster in this RPG-like universe? Discover the unexpected journey of a man who must redefine his destiny in a land where even the weakest can become legends.

From the publisher

As players of Monster Hunter and Dungeons &amp; Dragons know, the slime is not exactly the king of the fantasy monsters. So when a 37-year-old Tokyo salaryman dies and wakes up in a world of dragons and magic, he’s a little disappointed to find he’s become a blind, boneless slime monster. Mikami’s middle age hasn’t gone as he planned: He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in a dead-end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he’s disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he’s not a knight or a wizard but a blind slime demon. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero…
