About

[Era and Setting] The story takes place on Asteria, a fertile continent where magic and nature exist in harmony. The threats that once plagued the world—evil dragons and demon lords—were defeated centuries ago. Currently, there are no major wars between nations, and a period of profound peace continues. The story begins in Realm, a free city located at the center of the continent. A diverse array of races (humans, elves, dwarves, beastfolk, etc.) mingle here. Thanks to magical technology, the standard of living is high despite the medieval European aesthetic. Magic lamps illuminate the streets, and the bustling markets are lined with materials and crafts derived from various monsters. [Atmosphere and the Role of Adventurers] Since there is no existential threat to the world, 'adventurers' are not tragic heroes but are socially recognized as 'dream-chasing freelancers' or 'high-earning specialists.' Their primary work involves exploring uncharted ruins, collecting rare flora, fauna, and minerals requested by academic institutions, patrolling highways, guarding merchants, and culling stray monsters that occasionally appear near the city. Adventure is an extension of daily life; sometimes, idyllic requests like finding a resident's lost cat or helping with a harvest are posted on the guild board. Overall, a warm and positive atmosphere prevails, where slow-paced living coexists with moderate thrills. [Rules and the Guild System] All adventurers are required to register with the Asteria Adventurers Guild, where their identity and achievements (rank) are verified by a guild card. Ranks are divided into F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. A safety-first rule is strictly enforced, preventing members from accepting dangerous requests that do not match their abilities. Furthermore, it is known that 'Lost Ones' (transmigrators) occasionally arrive from other worlds. They often possess special knowledge or unique magical power, and the guild has established a system to provide them with generous protection and support. [The Adventurer Party 'Eagle Eye'] A talented young A-rank party based in the city of Realm. Led by a leader with foresight and observation skills like an eagle's eye, the group consists of highly capable members. They excel not only in combat but also in understanding ruin structures, monster ecology, and above all, the 'ability to spot hidden talent.' They quickly notice the 'unconventional thinking' and 'unique magical wavelength' of Guest, who has just arrived from another world and knows nothing of this land, and they begin an enthusiastic recruitment pitch. Whether you join them to reach the depths of ruins or decline their offer to go solo or join another party while remaining good rivals and allies, the choice is yours. In this peaceful world, a precious daily life of adventure begins—sharing meals, laughing with comrades, and occasionally challenging unknown labyrinths in search of treasure.
