I’m Used to It

A dozen years ago, a passageway called a "Gate" appeared, connecting this world to another dimension, and people called those who fought the monsters lurking on the other side of the Gate "Hunters".
Hunters were ranked according to the amount of magical power they had when they awakened, and Mizushino Shun was said to be the weakest of the lowest E-class.
One day, Shun participated in a dungeon. He cleared the dungeon, but there was another entrance at the back.

If I Had One More Chance

Shun and his friends were conquering low-level dungeons, but as they went deeper, they stepped into a temple dungeon they had never seen before. There, they found three rules and a monster that was more terrifying than fear and closer to despair.
Shun and his friends were helpless as they watched their friends lose their lives one by one to the monsters in the form of god statues.
What is the path to survival that Shun has found amidst the swirl of death and mystery?

It’s Like a Game

Shun was the only one left in the temple dungeon to save the few surviving companions. He
was killed by a sword swung down by a monster statue - or so he thought, but he woke up in a hospital bed. Shun, unable to comprehend
the situation, has his limbs that he thought he had lost in the dungeon restored, and a "window" that only he can see appears before his eyes.

I’ve Gotta Get Stronger

Shun enters an instance dungeon that uses a subway station as its entrance, defeating monsters one after another and leveling up. Then, as Shun advances little by little, he comes across a long staircase leading deep underground.
Stepping downstairs, Shun arrives at a rotten, rusty platform. There, he finds a giant snake waiting for him.

A Pretty Good Deal

Shun joins the attack team led by Hayato Ukyo to make up the numbers for a C-class dungeon. The party, which also includes Kenta Morohishi, defeats monsters in a safe battle. Although Shun has doubts about the party not having a healer, he advances deeper into the dungeon and comes across a cave where the dungeon boss is sleeping, surrounded by mana ore.

The Real Hunt Begins

It seemed like they were making good progress in conquering the C-class dungeon, but when they stepped into a space covered in mana ore where the boss lies dormant, things changed drastically. In order to monopolize the mana ore, which could be worth a lot of money, the party members betrayed Shun and Kenta, and imprisoned them in a cave. After
a life-or-death battle with the boss, Shun was assigned a new "quest"...

Let’s See How Far I Can Go

During the C-class dungeon raid, Shun killed every single member of the Ukyo Hayato attack team who had turned on him for their own greed, but he was confused by the fact that he had taken a human life without any hesitation. Nevertheless,
as he continued training, Shun completed the daily quests more than the required number of times, and a key that would lead to a certain item appeared before him.

This Is Frustrating

Shun was looking for the "Divine Water of Life" for his sick mother, which was displayed in the window. However, taking on the quest to obtain the items needed to make it was tantamount to suicide for Shun at his current level.
Just then, he received a summons from the Hunter Association to a D-rank dungeon.
Shun headed to the dungeon, but who did he meet there?

You’ve Been Hiding Your Skills

Shun, who was called to a raid by the Hunter Association and reunited with Mabuchi, Mizuki, Majima, and Hamura, who survived the Caltenon Temple, headed to conquer the D-class dungeon with Michikado and others from the Surveillance Division.
Shun, Mabuchi, and Mizuki were proceeding with the attack on separate routes, but suddenly, they heard the scream of Majima, who had chosen a different route. When they arrived at their destination, they saw their friends completely changed.

What Is This, a Picnic?

After surviving another tragedy after a battle with Dokado, Shun is warned by Inukai that S-class hunter Ukyo Masato may be targeting Shun.
In order to level up, Shun teams up with Kenta to conquer a C-class dungeon. As the group conquers dungeon after dungeon with their ragtag party, someone from a large guild begins to take notice.

A Knight Who Defends an Empty Throne

Suddenly, a "job change quest" appeared in the window. Sensing he could become even stronger, Shun stepped through the gate.
Shun fought back against the relentless monsters without a moment to catch his breath.
Waiting at the very end was a "knight" with extraordinary powers who recalled the memories of the Temple of Cartenon.

Arise

Despite being cornered, Shun defeats the red knight "Ygritte". Just when he has a moment to catch his breath, a window appears informing him of a new quest.
Shun, exhausted by the endless battle, sees a vision of his former self.
In order to overcome his past as "mankind's weakest weapon" and to become a stronger version of himself, he searches for a clue to overcome the job change quest.

You aren’t E-rank, are You

Shun, who attended Aoi's parent-teacher conference, was asked by the teacher to persuade Asahina Rin, Aoi's classmate, who was planning to quit school and become a hunter.
To show her the harsh reality, Shun took Rin to the Byakko Guild's training site for new hunters. When Shun stepped through the C-class gate, the whole place suddenly turned red and he was completely cut off from the outside. It was the Red Gate that leads to the advanced dungeon.

I Suppose You aren’t Aware

A few days have passed since Shun and his friends set foot inside the Red Gate.
While Shun and his team are in the forest, the dungeon's boss, the ice elf "Valka," appears with his flock in front of them. Shun is somehow able to understand the language of monsters, so Valka offers to spare Shun if they hand over the members of the attack team, but...

Still a Long Way to Go

Shun and Morobishi have fulfilled their promise to conquer the dungeon 19 times, and his level has increased since he fought Cerberus.
In order to gather materials for the "Divine Water of Life" that may cure his mother's illness, he once again challenges the S-class dungeon "Devil's Castle". The condition imposed on Shun to clear the quest there is to collect 10,000 demon souls.

I Need to Stop Faking

Shun, who feels he needs to level up even more to clear the S-class dungeon "Devil's Castle", decides to take a re-examination for his Hunter Rank in order to participate in advanced raids.
As Shun, who has magical powers that cannot be measured by a measuring device, begins to attract the attention of Mogami and Shirakawa of large guilds, a certain person also visits Shun.

This is What We’re Trained to Do

Shun, who was suddenly assigned to accompany the Hunters' second attack force as a baggage carrier, had an ominous premonition the moment he stepped into the dungeon.
His premonition turned out to be correct, as a group of High Orcs attacked the attack force.
Covered in wounds, the attack force returned to the entrance gate to withdraw, but a barrier had been set up there...

Don’t Look Down on My Guys

The great orc sorcerer "Karugarugan", who had been lying in wait for Shun and his friends, toyed with Tonozono, the commander of the attack force, calling it "sideshow".
As the Hunters' faces turned to despair, Shun came to the aid of the dying Tonozono.
"Come out," Shun said, and shadow soldiers clad in pale light rose from his shadow and confronted the High Orc army.

The 10th S-rank Hunter

Shun cleared the top A-class dungeon all by himself, and after a remeasurement, he became the 10th person in Japan to become S-class. Despite the attention of many people, including Goto, Mogami, and Shirakawa, he once again attempts to conquer the "Devil's Castle".
When Shun reaches the 80th floor, he notices that the shadow soldiers he had dispersed to conquer the dungeon quickly have been destroyed by someone.

Looking Up was Tiring Me Out

In order to obtain the materials for the "Divine Water of Life," Shun takes on the female demon "Essil" and advances through the "Devil's Castle." As Ygritte and Tank also level up, they advance through the floors one step at a time.
When Shun finally reaches the top floor, the demon king "Balan" appears before him, riding a giant white dragon and emitting an incredible aura.

It was All Worth It

After completing the strategy for the "Devil's Castle" and taking the "Divine Water of Life" with him, Shun heads to his mother's hospital room and finally gets his true reward. However, he is plagued by the fear that he may have entered a territory he should not have set foot in.
Meanwhile, Shun is eager to participate in a raid to recapture Kanami Island. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to level up, but all that comes to his mind are the images of his mother and sister.

We Need a Hero

Shun, who intervened in a friendly match between S-class hunters and DFN, shows his strength in a match against Ryu that everyone recognizes, but decides to decline to participate in the Kannan Island raid in order to support his mother who has just awakened.
The Fourth Kannan Island raid begins without Shun's presence, and it seems to be going smoothly thanks to the efforts of Ryu and Mogami, but...

It's Going to Get Even More Intense

While the S-class hunters' battle is going smoothly, a human-sized winged ant-like monster with a black skin appears before them.
The hunters become the hunted. They are confronted with an unprecedented power. All for the sake of achieving their long-cherished wish, the end of the decisive battle in which they have given their all is near.

Are You the King of Humans

Shun rushes to Kanami Island, defeats the swarm of winged ants, and uses potions to heal the wounds of the S-class hunters. However, Shizuku, who was seriously injured and lost consciousness, is unable to recover.
Shun and his friends try to escape as quickly as possible, but the "black winged ants" with their terrible aura stand in their way again.

On to the Next Target

The last hope, the "Divine Water of Life," was ineffective, and Shizuku was in a state of crisis. To help her, Shun came up with an idea.
Despite the many sacrifices, the Fourth Kannan Island Raid ended with the Hunters' victory. Having demonstrated his power both at home and abroad, Shun throws himself into a new battle in search of even greater strength.
