## Synopsis

In the city of Orario, adventurers descend into a massive dungeon beneath the streets, backed by 'Familias' — guilds sponsored by actual gods living among mortals. Bell Cranel is the sole member of the tiny Hestia Familia, a rookie so weak nobody expects anything from him. Then a chance rescue by Ais Wallenstein, one of the city's most famous swordswomen, lights a fire in him — and awakens a rare gift that lets him grow at a pace nobody has ever seen. What follows is pure progression fantasy: every floor deeper, every fight harder, every victory earned.
