Darkness.
That was the first thing I felt when I opened my eyes—or rather, when I thought I opened them.
I had no body. No hands. No feet. Just… a strange, soft sensation, as if I were floating in a pool of jelly.
And then it hit me.
This wasn't a dream.
"I… I'm Rimuru Tempest."
The memories came rushing in—my old life, the final moments, and the shocking realization:
I had been reborn inside the world of Tensura.
But there was more. Unlike the Rimuru of the story, I carried every detail of the plot within my head.
I knew what was coming.
The allies I would meet.
The enemies I would face.
The tragedies that could be avoided.
Just when I was processing this, a cold, mechanical voice echoed inside my mind.
[Welcome to the Multiversal System]
My slime body trembled.
A… system? Like in those isekai novels?
Suddenly, a glowing blue screen appeared in front of me:
---
[System Menu – Status]
Host: Rimuru Tempest (Reincarnated)
Species: Slime (Unique)
Current Fame: 0
Summoning Points: 0
Special Skill: [Predator]
Unique Skill: [Great Sage]

---
My nonexistent jaw dropped.
This wasn't in the original story.
Another panel flashed.
---
[Multiversal Summoning – Information]
Gain Summoning Points through fame and achievements.
Use points to summon characters from other worlds.

Their abilities are converted into Unique Skills, Titles, and Evolutions.
When the host evolves, summons evolve as well.
---
I froze.
Summon… characters from other worlds?
Anime? Manga? Even comics?
It was insane. It was broken. It was… perfect.
"Wait, wait… If I can summon anyone, does that mean I could call Goku? Or… Itachi? Or even—"
The system interrupted my wild thoughts.

A small window popped up, displaying three names:

I couldn't help but laugh—or bubble, since I was a slime.
This wasn't just Tensura anymore.
This was my own story.
And I was about to make Tempest into the strongest nation across all worlds.
But first… I needed points.
Fame. Recognition.
And I knew just where to start.
The Goblin Village.
