Sinopsis de Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko
Deep in the forest, far from any human contact, lives a boy named Ryouma Takebayashi. He indulges in the strange hobby of keeping various types of slimes as pets. Also, despite his young age, he has a robust physique and good compatibility with magic. This is all because, having endured many hardships in his previous life, three gods grace Ryouma with a second chance to pursue one goal: to savor the wonders of life.
After three years of comfortable solitude, Ryouma meets people who will change his current life forever. When he finds and helps soldiers tend to his wounded comrade, the group convinces him to come with them to visit the ducal family in the nearby town. Ryouma agrees and soon embarks on a journey to explore the vast world beyond his home.
