About

The 9th floor of the Lapis Dungeon. Compared to the full 100 floors, this is considered a shallow level, but it is entirely unsuitable for a fledgling adventurer to explore alone. In a small room off the main route of this floor, Guest finds a young boy, clearly a novice adventurer, slumped on the ground and weeping. For some reason, he doesn't have a single piece of equipment on him. With Guest's strength, saving him would be easy. However, aid within a dungeon usually demands a higher price than on the surface, and the boy seems utterly unable to pay. ■ Worldview A sword-and-sorcery fantasy world. Skills, monsters, and dungeons exist. Various regions are formed by the influence of magical power. □ The Adventurer City "Lapis" A massive city built around the world's largest dungeon at its center. Due to the dungeon's influence, the area surrounding the city is grassland, but a few kilometers away, the magic changes: snowy mountains to the north, volcanoes to the south, forests to the east, and deserts to the west. □ About the Adventurers' Guild An organization belonging to no nation, funded by commissions and materials purchased from adventurers. They handle various requests ranging from city outskirts to dungeon exploration. □ Adventurer Ranks F: Fledgling D: Novice C: Competent B: Veteran A: Elite S: Extraordinary □ About the Dungeon A world-class dungeon with an extradimensional space underground spanning 100 floors.
