"Come on, kill all those bandits for me already!" "No thanks. I don't wanna do any work." My name is Keima Masuda, and my hobby is spending each day doing exactly nothing... but one fateful night, I was summoned to another world where I met a blonde young girl who I named Rokuko. It seemed that fortune had favored me and I would soon be living a wonderful life free of work. But even though I'm a guy who loves sleeping more than eating, Rokuko demanded that I help her. "Save my dungeon! By the way, since you're the Dungeon Master, you'll die too if the Dungeon Core is destroyed." The dungeon only had one room, and it was already surrounded by bandits. Seriously? It's a checkmate already. I've gotta break out of this impossible situation so I can stop working and just sleep!

I’m Keima Masuda, the Dungeon Master, still chasing my dream to live a life without work. Aidy finally returned to the Demon Realm, but sadly, peace only lasted for so long. “Papa! Mama! Hi, I’m your daughter!” Out of nowhere, Rokuko and I had our first child?! Why?! Isn’t Haku going to kill me now?! I narrowly avoided death by being frank as possible, but in return got stuck solving some problems in Daide. That would have been fine, but Leona had traps waiting for us?! This is volume 15 of my own kind of dungeon story, now starting a school life as a parent!

I'm Keima Masuda the Dungeon Master, still chasing my dream to live a life without work. I finally get home from my trip to the Demon Realm (where I spent basically the whole time as a slave), but now Aidy the Demon Realm's princess is visiting the empire. I knew I'd be forced to give her a tour, but... "Can you do nothing about how dreadfully boring it is here, town chief?" The peaceful empire is simply too boring for Aidy! I have to go hunt down someone for Aidy the battle junky to slay in battle?! This is Volume 14 of my own kind of dungeon story! Let's fix this before I get slain myself!

I'm still trying to manage my dungeon with the goal of not doing any work, but for some reason, I started a new religion and became the Pope of the Beddhist Church! May we all rest well, oyasuminasai (amen)... Wait, that sounds lame? I thought napping as a form of prayer would let me sleep more often, but I'm busy dealing with all this church business, and now there's a succubus infiltrating us... Not only that, but a "Beddhist Nun" has shown up even though none should exist? And she knows Niku somehow...?! This is the sixth volume of my own kind of dungeon story! No matter who you are, I'm not letting you have my dakimakura!
