Mukouda Tsuyoshi was nothing special in modern Japan… So when he was summoned to a world of swordplay and sorcery, he thought he was ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Too bad the kingdom that summoned him only got him by mistake! Not only was he not one of the three summoned heroes, but his stats were laughable compared to theirs. On top of that, there's something really sketchy about this kingdom…

After conquering dungeons and finally getting some leverage over the gods ganging up on him, Mukohda sets his sights on the domestic life. With his new palatial manor fully staffed with trustworthy servants and guards, it seems like as good a time as any to focus on building up his long-neglected business of selling Japanese goods in this otherworld. But he’s suddenly found himself in the sights of an unscrupulous competitor, backed by a shady lesser noble, who is after the secrets of his luxurious soaps and hair treatments.

Mukouda Tsuyoshi—alias, ‘Mukohda’—was an ordinary Japanese salaryman until he was summoned to a fantasy world of swords and magic.

Mukohda, the salaryman from modern Japan who was (accidentally) whisked away to another world via a “Hero Summoning” ritual, finally arrived at the dungeon city of Dolan.

If something seems too good to be real, you've got to get out of there. That's the rule that Page Found has always followed. She's a petty thief with no memory of her past, scrounging to survive on a backwater outpost—until she's kidnapped by one of her marks. Her kidnappers—the cruel, self-serving Zhak and the tough maverick Maelle—plan to pass Page off as a monk from an ancient, isolated planet to help them capture a treasure-filled ship.

Another day, another dungeon! Or rather, another day, the same dungeon, because even though Mukohda would much rather make the most of his mid-dungeon break by lingering on the surface and enjoying a breath or two of outside air, a certain trio of battle-happy gluttons have dragged him right back into the depths again! Fel, Sui, and Dora won’t be satisfied until they conquer every last floor that the Brixt dungeon has to offer, and the most Mukohda can do is grit his teeth and tag along for the ride.

At long last, the time has come. Mukohda and his party of ever-ravenous familiars are finally ready to set foot in the Brixt dungeon, a notorious hellhole famed for being the hardest dungeon in the land!

This time, is it too much to hope that he might see me, too?
