“Yo. It’s been a long time, but you sure kept us waiting.”
 
I offered a greeting to mark our reunion after five years as I walked toward the Violet Crystal Scorpion waiting in the center of the large room. Though, I don’t know if it’s the same individual.
 
Reacting to my voice, the giant scorpion shifted its massive frame into battle mode. The face of the insect, impossible to read, seemed to have the light in its eye sockets trembling with madness at the prospect of a rematch with the nemesis it once defeated.… Read more

After that, having gotten into the groove of Labyrinth exploration, we continued to kick monsters aside as we advanced, eventually reaching the large room at the deepest level. In the deepest part of a Labyrinth exists a magical crystallization called a Labyrinth Core, which maintains the Labyrinth’s existence.
 
If it were an unconquered Labyrinth, a Labyrinth Guardian would block the adventurer’s path to protect the core. Unfortunately, since [The Magic Crystal Cave] has already been conquered, the Guardian’s territory is an empty shell.… Read more

Sure, okay? Compared to the successful melee classes of the world, my fighting might look plain to the eye. Lightning doesn’t crackle, and things don’t explode. But, you see, if you ask me, all of that is waste. Superfluous. Not beautiful. You don’t need explosions; if you cut the appropriate part at the appropriate time in the appropriate way, the enemy goes down. Just like this!
 
My sword, swung with great momentum, made a clean hit on the Skeleton’s head, blowing its skull away in flashy fashion.… Read more

Forming a party without guild mediation isn’t particularly rare. Rookies who came together naturally team up, and veterans often team up with acquaintances.
 
However, conversely, it is often difficult to jump into a party outside of those examples.
 
If someone is looking for a party without going through the guild’s mediation, it’s normal to assume there’s a “reason” for it. If one has any common sense, they wouldn’t let such a fellow into their party with a quick”sure.”… Read more

“Hey, pal. I guess you’re going through a lot, but… mind moving aside a bit?”

Before long, an adventurer running out of patience called out to him.

“…………”

“Tch. Hey, are you listening?”

Irritated by the boy who still showed no reaction, the adventurer shoved him aside somewhat roughly.

“Ah……”

Easily losing his balance, he landed flat on his backside. Perhaps surprise at how little force it took, he looked slightly shocked. However, seeing that there was still no reaction, he seemed to lose interest immediately and began talking at the reception desk.… Read more

“……Alright. In that case, you guys are banished from this party. I am the leader. You have no complaints, right?”

I deliberately chose strong, pushing words.

Homura’s eyes went wide, and then her face turned pale as she looked down. Hearing the thin, leaking sound of her sobbing, I desperately swallowed the words of retraction that rose to my throat.

“……If.”

It was Geld who broke the brief silence.

“If we can get stronger than we are now… would you team up with us again?”… Read more

Chapter 1

Labyrinth Labyrinth City Tandem.

Mysterious entities that suddenly appeared in this world, bringing with them countless treasures and dangerous monsters: Labyrinths. Tandem is a city that harbors many such Labyrinths.

Flourishing around a Labyrinth that towers high into the heavens, commonly known as”The Tower,”Tandem gathers Adventurers—those who make a living conquering the Labyrinths or aim to make a fortune in one fell swoop. It has become a chaotic, yet vibrant and bustling place.

Therefore, one could say this is not only a Labyrinth City but also an Adventurer City.… Read more

Prologue

A massive shadow loomed before my eyes.

Judging by the position of its head, which easily exceeded five meters in height, the creature was a giant snake with two heads. That was just with its upper body raised; I couldn’t even begin to imagine its total length. Standing apart from other monsters, this thing wasn’t just a regular beast—it was a “Unique Monster,” a singular entity that rarely appeared in this labyrinth dungeon.

As soon as the thing recognized us, it lunged with a speed that betrayed its massive size.… Read more
