Prologue : Death and Reincarnation

We all know the Story of Rimuru Tempest. He, who was reincarnated from a human to a slime, who then eventually became God. But doesn't it feel odd? How did thing pan out the way they did? Why were there so many plotholes, so many weird interactions that go against the characters personality? For an answer, we will have to go to the beginning of it all. To the first iteration of Rimuru Tempest. This, is Cardinal Prime. The Start Of Everything.
