Character
The main character of this work. He was a 39-year-old single SE working at a black company on Earth. From an early age, he was driven into various martial arts by his father with almost abusive rigor, and he had a serious personality and a muscular body that did not miss daily training. After his father passed away, he lived with his mother, but later her mother died and he lived alone in an apartment. Although he is not at fault, he has an unreasonable past in which he has been involved in incidents and has been forced out of his job many times. Despite his appearance, he is an otaku who loves anime and manga, and is well versed in various trivia. He also had a hobby of making figures. After reincarnation, Selelipta analyzed it with a method that was almost taboo, and found traces of distorted intervention by the gods of Earth in Ryouma's unhappy life and peculiar spirituality. According to it, many evidences were discovered that it is thought that the earth god was inducing Ryoma's circumstances to become a violent criminal as entertainment. This is a taboo act even for gods, and it seems that there are traces that the lives of multiple people other than Ryoma have been distorted, but it seems that it is difficult to pursue because the god of the earth is higher than the god of Sailfall. Ryoma was able to acquire various high tolerances by repeating self-restraint against the urge to commit crimes each time he intervened. Gain and the others have always felt unnatural about Ryouma's circumstances and personality, and as a result, Sereripta's actions proved it.

After death, his soul was transferred by Gain and others for the purpose of replenishing the magical power of the earth to Sailfall, a different world lacking magical power. Because the metastasis transferred the soul to the body of an 8-year-old boy, although he looks like a child, his mind and knowledge are in a strange state of being an Arafo male. However, he self-analyzes that his physical age is greatly influenced by his mental side, and it seems that he is not simply a child on the outside and an adult on the inside. For the time being, so that it would not be unnatural to live alone in the forest of Gana to which he was transferred, the gods told him that he was born in the Great Sea of ​​Trees, and was raised in the forest of Gana as his grandparents, the martial arts god Tigar and the sage Melia. While living alone, he used many slimes as a tamer and became immersed in slime research. In fact, Big Slime is not a single individual, but a colony, so it was necessary to make a contract with all the groups that united. As a result of that application, they are also making contracts with even larger slimes that combine more swarms. Three years after he transferred and started living in the forest, when he was 11 years old, he happened to meet Duke Jameel in the woods, which led him to become connected with the Duke's family, and they decided to settle in the city of Giml. In the city of Gimul, he registered with the Tamer Guild, the Adventurer's Guild, and the Commercial Guild, making full use of his knowledge from his previous life and the ability to use slime to open a cleaning shop for a super white company. Furthermore, as an adventurer, he will show a wide range of activities such as subjugating monsters and solving other difficult problems of the Adventurer's Guild.

Contrary to his apparent age, he has a lot of knowledge, and because of his high physical ability and track record, he has a very high reputation among the Duke and other related parties. In addition to being given the aptitude for all magic attributes, he is a versatile type who has master-level mastery of martial arts due to the influence of his previous life, and has various resistances at a high level due to the influence of the Earth God.
