In a world where dungeons are a common threat, the demand for those capable of clearing them has never been higher. Those who survive these dungeons and sign contracts to work for the government are known as infiltrators. Infiltrators are revered like idols, with the strongest among them at the top of the hierarchy. Even those who survive their first dungeon gain instant fame, their names whispered with awe and admiration. Xerxes, however, has always felt like an outsider in this world. But when he unexpectedly finds himself trapped in a dungeon, he defies the odds and emerges alive—becoming the leader of the only infiltrator team with a perfect 100% survival rate. Now, Xerxes must navigate the dangerous world of dungeon clearing, where survival isn’t guaranteed, and his newfound powers could either be a blessing—or a curse. ___ [The dungeons are inspired by real life books and occurrences.]

Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives. Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people.

All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction. One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door. And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all.
