For decades, mysterious dungeons have been popping up all over the world. The resources found within these dungeons have completely reshaped human society, turning life upside down. In this world, Tsukasa Kisaragi, a high school student and active dungeon explorer, harbors a lingering regret. Back when he first got his explorer license, his social anxiety held him back from forming any party or making friends. But whether it was a blessing or a curse, Tsukasa was born with an extraordinary talent for dungeon exploration. He was so good at it that even solo, he could conquer any dungeon without breaking a sweat. He got used to going it alone, and before he realized it, he had become one of the few EX-rank explorers in all of Japan—so rare they could be counted on one hand. Despite his incredible skills, Tsukasa kept his true identity hidden, living a low-key life. But one day, he stumbled upon something that would change everything: dungeon streaming. And from that moment, his world would never be the same.

While my peers were busy with their studies, I was here in Shibuya, organizing the office space I had leased near the station. I had to move in a bunch of furniture and shelves, as well as some office equipment to make sure the place was functional. Oddly enough, Asakawa-san was helping me out with it all, even though she didn't have to. She always said she wanted to see the business take off and was always willing to lend a hand.
