AN/: Hey guys! I hope you all had a super December, an awesome Christmas and a fire festive time and all that. It's a new year and it's gonna be another year for anime to survive & thrive again! Recently I just discovered a genre of anime called 'Isekai' anime which is about dying in your world or leaving your world and traveling into another world whether it's more advanced in technology then our world or a magical one for that matter.

I have watched anime with this concept in the past, I just never knew there was a name/tittle for this type of anime. With that said, I watched quite a few last year, but the one that has really given me the plot bunnies to make a fanfiction with the same concept is 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime' along with another anime called 'Isekai wa Smartphone no Tomo ni'. This fanfic will mostly be about the former anime with only a few elements from the latter anime coming into play, of course.

As always Naruto is the lead MC but the story will follow the events of Rimulu Tempest mostly. A lot of changes will be made, some small some big. Naruto will get a harem while Rimulu...I don't know, you guys can pick his gender before I release the initial third chapter.

So without further or do, please remember to fav/follow/review and share the story with a fellow reader! HAPPY READING!

A flicker of time from the past...

…..."Hey you! You with the hair that looks like the sun's first kiss!"...

...Was what a dark haired 17 year old young man said chasing after a sun-kiss blonde haired 10 year old boy. The blonde boy stopped in his tracks and turned around making the dark haired teen stop as well with a slight gasp of surprise coming from him as he got a second look at the boy's facial expression...

'Woah...those eyes...Feels like summer just died'...

"Who-...what do you want from me?" said the blonde boy in a quite & whisper-like voice as he looked down to his shoes trying to hide the deep red color of his scerla and the lose of life in his ocean-like blue colored irises. The teen hesitated to step forward at first fearing he might do something wrong, but fought his inhibitions and stood before the young boy and gave him a bright smile with eye smiles...

"...You wanna play some games with me?".

"...I was taught not to talk to strangers".

"Hehe! You must have a cautious mother-

"She just died".

"...Oh...Well...How about I come with you to your house and we can play this new game I bought there".

The blonde boy still didn't look at the teenage-brunette in the eyes, but he replied with the dead tone and voice not even reacting to the bright attitude of the young man before him...

"Are you some kind of pedophile or something?".

"...Hehehe! Nope, just a concerned person who knows what you're going through...I know what it feels like to have no one, especially when you really need them around".

This actually got a reaction from the blonde boy who looked up to the teen and saw his expression soften as he still smiled but only this time the smile was more real the before.

The teen continued to speak...

"I saw you by the swings on my way back from school and I had a feeling you're a gamer like me...Well, I totally suck at games, all of them actually- but I still play them to pass the time and challenge myself. Light Novels, Doujinshi and Manga are my forte. By the way, my name is Mikami Satoru. What's your name?".

"..."

"Well if you don't give me a name I'm gonna give you a nickname after a ramen toping, hehehe!".

"M-my...my name is..."...

Naruto P.O.V

Hi there! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I am- or was an average Joe born in Tokyo Japan working in a video game company creating video games for a majority of my life. I grew up only knowing my mom which was tough for me, and being a teen wasn't easy either. I had problems making friends because of a certain event in my life and I've had issues trusting people rendering me to being the anti-social shut-in that I am...or was anyway.

Thankfully, I'm not a virgin as I did go out partying when I was still a curious young man back in college, but the girl I was with only made my anti-social behavior even worse thanks to the metaphorical knife she stabbed into my chest the week after...but that's a story for another time.

I was a 30 year old man in the prime of his life making money doing the things he loves and living in his own comfortable bubble with no one to bother him or annoy him...until me and my best friend died saving an acquaintance of his and young lady from being stabbed and shot to death. My best friend took the knife while I got shot five times...

So yeah...me and my one and only friend Satoru died, and personally I thought maybe that was my time...only for something else entirely different to happen!

….That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Demi-God...

Normal P.O.V

Up high in the sky...like really high, here we see a Japanese mat floating comfortably in mid-air. On the mat you could see a wooden drawer, a small fridge, an old Japanese hunch-back TV and a small table in the center of the mat.

Sitting by the table are two individuals as one is an old man dressed in some white robes with flat sandals on his feet as this old man is completely bold but he has a long white beard with glasses on(think of Master Roshi but with the robes and sandals).

The other is young man looking to be 5'7 with extremely yellow blonde hair styled in a spiky position making him look like he was playing with an electrical outlet a lot as a child, and he has cerulean blue eyes that sparkle from the color of the sky and the sunlight constantly bouncing off of the them. Also, he has three distinctive hairs on each cheek looking like whisker marks giving him a fox-like appearance, especially with the way he is staring at the old man sitting across from him with closed eyes.

For clothing the young man is dressed in some jeans with blue sneakers with a white dressed shirt and black dress jacket...

After a few moments of silence, the old man was the one to break the ice as he spoke up...

"Sigh...I terribly apologies for your death, Naruto-kun. Your dear friend Satoru was the only person who was meant to pass on at the time, but it seems with you becoming his friend is where things changed on their own all those years ago. You were actually destined to do so much for Japan and the world at large!".

"Not the first time I heard that" said the young man now known as Naruto who opened his eye-lids to show his ocean-like blue eyes and snorted jokingly at the old man's statement of him.

The old man stroked his beard before he spoke again, "I'm serious here, Naruto-kun! I had lots of plans for you, even though you never believed in me- but I did have good plans for you none the less-

"Like what? Losing my dad on the day I was born, my mom losing her job and being forced to use all the inheritance my dad left behind to get us through life and put me through school? Or wait, let me guess. The day I found out what humanity really is under all those fake hugs and smiles and false camaraderie. Or is the day my mom died? Don't sell yourself as a good person, Kami-sama. I got the short end of the stick as a kid and you know it! I had to work my ass off to get a good life while I also had to shut myself of from the world, and it got worse by the time I was 21. I only have- or had one friend in my life".

"Yes, I know" said the old man known as Kami/God, who then looked down in sadness and continued "I wish I could design people's personal traits and personalities like you do as a video game creator, but in my experience it's the experiences a person goes through in life that shapes their traits, their personality and their overall mindset in life. Still, I am terribly sorry for what you have gone through, but I did have plans to help you in the future to make you see the bright side of mankind better".

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Naruto gave a tired a sigh and then responded to God "At this point it's water under the bridge, Kami-sama. That was my previous life, which has now ended unexpectedly according to you. To be honest, I thought was I gonna die an old man playing video games and reading manga all by myself as I watch the world turn from outside the windows of my house".

"Well...it's not your time yet to go see your parents, Naruto-kun. By that I mean that I can't let your existence end this way" said Kami. Naruto gave a look of confusion to Kami as he asked "What do you mean, Kami-sama?".

"Well, in certain circumstances I can bend certain rules I have put in place of the multi-verse. One of these rules is death, and I how bend it is by preforming reincarnation" said Kami.

"Oooh~...So that means I'm going back?" asked Naruto, but Kami shook his head in response to his question and said, "That is a rule I can not even stretch at all, Naruto-kun. The laws of nature and Science forbid me from ever doing something like that. What I mean is, I am going to give a second chance at life in another world. Of course what you do there is totally up to you but I only have one favor to ask- but before that, is there anything you would like me to do for you as an added bonus, Naruto-kun?".

For Naruto, this was all too much to take in. The part of meeting God? No, or the fact that God as his own little personal space high up in the sky? Nope! As religious as his mother was, Naruto grew up not only understanding and studying the Shinto religion, but all the other religions & pantheons as well in the world, plus some of the games he played growing up educated him on other things he was too lazy to read in a book somewhere.

By the time he was 14, he became an atheist in the belief that 'gods' or 'deities' are nothing but statues & trophies people waste their entire lives to admire or adore gaining nothing of any kind from doing so, or lightning rods you throw all your negative energy onto instead of dealing with reality and facing your problems head on instead of talking to someone who's got way too much to do then listen to a mosquito buzzing in his/her ears.

The part that was a little hard to take it was being reincarnated and the fact that there are other worlds or dimensions that actually do exist outside of his own. He is saddened that he won't get to be with his best and only friend Mikami Satoru in Heaven, but never before did he think other words outside of his own existed.

'I never thought I'd end up in an Isekai Anime situation before. And those aren't even my fav in the least! Ha! Take that Satoru! I knew my dream of traveling to another world meant something!..I just hope I'm not gonna end up as some crazy little girl's plush toy she cuts up, shoves mud and tomato sauce inside then stitch back up practicing for being a surgeon one day(insert shiver)' was what Naruto thought before he remembered something, and his right hand snaked it's way into the inside pocket of his jacket to pull out a Samsung android phone.

Showing it to Kami, Naruto spoke up, "Can I go to my next life with this?".

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...A-are you sure? There are lots of other things I can do for you, Naruto-kun. I am sending to a world of old with magic after all-

"Wait a minute! Magic? As in mana and spells? Dwarves and Elves? Dragons and demon lords?!" said a surprised Naruto with Kami giving a happy laugh before he continued, "Yes, yes I am, Naruto-kun. You could say it is more or less quite similar to the video games you have developed in your past life, but I assure you things won't be as simple as you may think they are. That world has been nothing but a growing pain I had to deal with as the mages of that world would constantly conduct a ritual to summon people from other worlds and force them into a contract of being a summon. Very dreadful and sinful if you ask me. And if these summons would fail to meat the requirements or expectations of their summoners, they would be abandoned and left to die from all the energy inside them exploding at the tender ages of 13 to 15 no less".

"Jeez! And you haven't done anything about it?" asked Naruto. God looked straight back at Naruto with a small grin as he said "Well, I never got the chance to, but I can now with you and your friend Satoru-kun".

Naruto, surprised at hearing his best friend also being involved in this as well, raised both of his eyebrows as he asked "Satoru? His getting reincarnated as well?".

"Yes he is. Although I went ahead and had an A.I installed into his very soul to help with the traverse and transition into his second life. My reasons for having him reincarnated are totally different from yours if that's what you were planing on asking me, but I can't share that information with you, I'm afraid" said Kami. Naruto accepted Kami's answer and not really being interested in whatever reasons he had for doing what he's doing since being with his friend in another life was more then good enough for him. A new world, a new start with someone you know and trust besides you leaves no room to complain or hesitate.

Suddenly, on the table, two cups filled with green tea and a tea pot appeared, and Kami took a cup and drank up with Naruto doing the same. There was silence for a few minutes before Naruto was done drinking his green tea placing the cup back on the table and spoke up "I won't bother asking what Satoru is gonna be up to since I'll try and find him myself regardless what obstacles and odds I could face trying to do that, but what's the favor you wanted to ask me, Kami-sama? You did say my second chance at life will be my own business, but I'm more interested on what's you're reason for actually deciding to have me reincarnated...with the memories of my past life intact, I assume".

Putting down his cup as well after finishing his tea, Kami turned is attention to Naruto and responded to his question...

"In this world, many millennia ago, there were gods and goddess I had specifically created to balance the flow of magic, the laws of nature & science and protect all life as well. There were spirits who possessed god-like power standing under these gods on the food chain of power in that world. A large majority of these spirits didn't agree with how things were so they waged a well planned war against these gods...and they won. From the fall of these gods, demons, dragons, and monsters came to be while the spirits with god-like power came to take the position the gods used to hold in that world.

With the gods gone, the spirits that waged the war believed they could ascend into godhood themselves, but they unfortunately fell from grace and transformed into Demon lords when they tried to assimilate their own beliefs of balance in to that world. In my opinion they are nothing but bastardized versions of Gods now, but the first few Demon Lords that came to be this way where much more better, whether they were fallen spirits, or humans who came to ascend into demon lordship.

Some time had passed and one Demon Lord named Leon found out about me and the existence of the multiverse leading to him creating that ugly ritual to summon humans from other worlds into that world forcefully turning them into summons if successful and if not they would either be discarded or cursed with evil spirits to bare for a long time(insert frown)...

...Naruto-kun...I am asking you to please do something about that demon lord, and restore the balance that will correct that world into the peaceful realm it once was before. Like your world, humans can never be left to their own devices with power they have no mental fortitude to understand and control. Humans who are blessed with the gift of power come to perceive themselves as beings better and above everyone else and they come to look down on other races or species as if they are the mere dirt they walk upon. I could say the same for other species like these foul demon lords, but humans are...imperfections in their own destructive ways. When there were gods, Justice truly did exist, and such immoral and sinful beings were either re-educated or removed from Society completely! Now these demon lords and those like them do nothing but create and spread Life's greatest weakness...which is uncensored fear".

Naruto narrowed his eyebrows as he remembered his time as a child being picked on by a certain broody bastard of a kid being unable to do nothing about it because of his parents holding a high position in society, and this kid did a lot of horrible things to him and other people in high school, but he still got away with it no matter how high and inhumane the crime was.

"...I get your point, Kami-sama" said Naruto as he continued "I don't mind doing this favor for you, but to me it seems like a main quest in a MMORPG. If I'm gonna do this I'm gonna have to plan this out properly and I'll need a lot more information on what I'm dealing with".

Kami stood up, with Naruto doing the same, and said...

"I'll do the best I can to help you, Naruto-kun- but I cannot play favorite with you as that would result in certain threads of reality being stretched thin from me interacting with a life form more then I should. Perhaps having your phone with you will help me establish a form of communication with you. For that you will have my number so you can call me any time you need to as I will do the same. Your phone will be charged via magic so you won't have to worry about electricity not being invented there. So...do you agree to the second life I have planned for you, Naruto-kun?".

Kami held out his hand to Naruto to shake, and Naruto gave a foxy grin as he took it and replied "Meh! I've got nothing to do right now. Why the hell not?! I'm sure my mom and dad can wait a little longer for me".

"Hohoho! There's the Uzumaki Naruto I know!" said Kami as he smiled Naruto and took his hand back. Kami walked over to his drawer to pull a few things out that looked oddly quite familiar to Naruto...

"By the way, Naruto-kun...Do you still remember the Manga your father wrote when he was young?" asked Kami.

Naruto, who folded his arms over his chest, replied with confusion in his voice, "Yeeeaah~ I remember it pretty well since I was named after it. My godfather Jiraya wrote a book called the tail of the gutsy Ninja and my dad got inspired to right a novel called Naruto while also drawing Manga for it. It's actually my favorite next to Bleach. What are you-...Ooooooh shit!".

"Well, Naruto-kun...since you are going to a magical world..." said Kami who had a simple smile on his face with eye smiles and continued...

"I think there is nothing wrong with me bending the rules of nature & science in that world to help you 'complete' your role and status there...Hohohohoho!".

…..To Be Continued...

Opening Theme Song: NICO Touches The Walls – Bunny Girl to Danny Boy

AN/: I won't be taking harem requests since 'That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime' doesn't have a lot of females to spare for a harem. I know there is Shion, Milim and Soka, but the harem I have is a bleach girl harem only and it's relatively small consisting of 3 ladies with an OC in it.

If you wanna know about Naruto's player stats and Level, stay tuned for the next chapter!

Thats all for now so please remember to stay cool, be cool, look cool and-
