The Otherworlder Exploring The Dungeon Vol 1 Light Novel

Ready for Anything—Except This ​Strapped for cash, Souya signs up for a shady gig straight out of a video game: warp to a fantasy world with a team of experts and ascend a dungeon tower to make off with its spoils. However, an accident in the transfer process leaves him stranded there alone. Desperate for support, he recruits a host of adventurers—from elven sisters banished from their forest, to a Goddess of Deception and Secrecy partial to lazing about as a cat—to form a party that can brave the tower’s perils. Caught between corrupt nobles and merchants outside the dungeon and deadly monsters within, can this motley band rise to the challenge? Or will Souya’s adventure end before it even begins?

A curse passed down in blood… Continuing their quest to reach the 56th floor of the Tower of Legions, Souya and his party decide to take on a dangerous new monster, the Dragonoise Mydranga, in a bid for glory. Little do they know, however, that this decision portends a series of devastating tragedies… As the band charts the 13th floor of the dungeon, the horrific truth behind the homeland of one of Souya’s companions comes to light. Is this where the adventures of Souya, Lana, a, Bel, Shuna, Zenobia, and Arvin fall to pieces?

Though the loss of Arvin and Zenobia still weighs heavy on their hearts, Souya and his remaining party members steel themselves to take on the dungeon once again. This time, they’re up against their greatest trial yet: The Deranged Stratum, a perilous section of the labyrinth where a malevolent being has been abducting countless victims. And it looks like Lana is its next target...

Broke and desperate, Souta signs up for a gig to warp to a fantasy world and ascend a dungeon tower to claim the treasure inside. However, an accident in the transfer process separates him from his teammates, leaving him stranded. Will his adventure end before it even begins?

THE FUTURE WAITS FOR NO ONE ​The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!

Showdown in Castle Town! Having successfully averted the airship attack, Satou and company arrive safely in the royal capital. There, they are reunited with Nana’s “sisters”—Numbers 1 through 8—and give them the gift of a lifetime. But as is tradition with every trip to the capital, Satou must rub elbows with the aristocracy before he can enjoy his sightseeing. He even receives a surprise visit or two, including a summons from Sir Juleburg of the Eight Swordsman of Shiga! Because no leisurely trip would be complete without a friendly duel…

RISE AND GRIND! ​Desperate to protect those close to her, Zena approaches Satou with a simple wish: She wants to become stronger. Naturally, Satou agrees to help, and he and his party subject her to training so rigorous the other explorers can hardly believe her growth. Not one to be left behind, however, Karina enrolls herself in their Labyrinth boot camp as well! But they’ll need to be quick about it. Satou is due in the royal capital, and if his luck is anything to go by, it’s only a matter of time before trouble rears its ugly head!

Trouble on the high seas! Having reached the end of their several-month stay in Bolenan Forest, Satou and the others decide to earn their sea legs as they resume their journey to Labyrinth City aboard their very own flying ship. But it wouldn't be a true adventure if there was smooth sailing the entire way! Following a run-in with the Skeleton King and his ghostly pirate crew, Satou finds a girl washed up on a nearby beach-and as luck would have it, she's anything but ordinary. In addition to being "half-ghost," the cryptic laments of the Skeleton King all seem to suggest that she's the key to reviving the world-ending superweapon of an ancient civilization... Was a relaxing ocean voyage too much to ask for?!
