Chapter 2-2: Heading to the Second Floor with Akane-san

There were no significant events as we descended to the second floor. Akane-san, looking around after coming down the stairs, didn’t seem as impressed as she was at first. “Hmm, so this is the second floor. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much.” “The variety of enemies increases, though.” Horn Rabbits, Black Bats, and even Lucky Butterflies.

Chapter 2-1: The intertwining of fates, or…?

“Here I am again today…” The day after successfully debuting as an explorer, I found myself back at Horii Station. I got here using my freshly purchased six-month commuting pass. Yesterday, after returning home, I searched online and found information stating that dungeon exploration, while considered entertainment, is recognized as a legitimate business expense. Initially,

Chapter 1-5: Ears on the Walls and Eyes on the Doors

After passing through the gate, I returned back to the original Dungeon Barricade.

Chapter 1-2: Skill Scroll Commemorating the Defeat of One Million Blue Slimes

The Blue Slime shouldn’t drop anything other than magic stones, as stated in the pamphlet… So why did it drop a scroll?

Chapter 1-1: Is【Qualification Master】Strong?

“…【Qualification Master】?” As I stand in the dungeon with its cave-like appearance surrounding me, the mechanical voice from earlier—let’s call it the “System Announcement” from now on—echoes. Apparently, I received something called 【Qualification Master】 as a Gift, but what does it actually do? As I contemplate, thoughts about how to utilize this 【Qualification Master】 start

Prologue: Sudden Bankruptcy, Sudden Unemployment… But, is it really as sudden as it sounds?

Everything began with that detestable piece of paper. [Bankruptcy.] I had almost believed it to be a crude joke, but the evidence was staring me in the face. The shutter at the entrance of the office, which should usually be open, was closed and a laminated A3 paper with the words “Bankruptcy” written boldly was
