As players of Monster Hunter and Dungeons & 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 elves 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 facing down a dragon, not as a knight or a wizard but as a blind slime demon. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero‰Û (W) Fuse (A/CA) Taiki Kawakami
