Oh crap...

I'm going to die...

Give me a break...

I...

I need to become a Mithril Adventurer!

Huh?

Wait, no way...

This can't be real...

T-this can't...

This can't be real!

Even if they don't match your ideals

Chase your ambitions in your own way

Even if they don't match your ideals

Chase your ambitions in your own way

As I was recklessly chasing
After the self I want to be

Before I know it
I already turned into an adult

"Things will go your way"

"Dreams will be realized
When you work hard"

No, this isn't such a nice, soft story

Even if you do your best
To aim for the top

Knowing the result means everything

Means nothing

Keep on walking today
Believing one day someone will witness it

The scenery from when you're disheartened
And about to give up

What lies beyond despair and suffering

A thing that exist beyond the endless path

I will grasp it with my own hand
No matter how far it is

The shape of the dream
May not be ideal

But as I kept on
Through the arduous chase

I will simply keep moving forward

I will take it to my hand now

We change the game from our own side

Live on freely in a world yet unseen

Even if they don't match your ideals

Chase your ambitions in your own way

Even if they don't match your ideals

Chase your ambitions in your own way

(Episode 01: Unwanted Undead)

Adventurers start their day early.

It might sound like a good saying,

but pretty much every poor people
has to start their day early.

The only people who get to sleep
till noon are nobles, rich merchants,

or scholars with irregular
sleep schedules.

That might sound prejudiced,

but a scholar that I know
won't sleep for days

once she gets hyper-focused
on her research.

Maybe I should check up
on her sometime soon.

Well, that said,

all that means nothing to me, Rentt Faina,
a lower bronze adventurer

who was born in a village
that isn't written on the map.

All right.

Adventurers wake up early
for one reason.

To be able to get good quests.

Adventurers Guild offers quests based
on the adventurer's rank and abilities.

The contents vary from
monster exterminations, escorts,

gathering herbs or ingredients,
down to cleaning the town's ditch.

Hey there, Rentt.

Good morning.

Going to the Labyrinth of
Moon's Reflection as usual?

If I can't find any good quest, then yeah.

I'm surprised you can
keep this up every single day.

All right, we'll be going first.

Yeah, good luck out there.

- You too.
- Later.

Guess I'll go to the Labyrinth
of Moon's Reflection.

Most adventurers work with a party,
but I generally work solo.

There are many reasons for it,

but for the most part,
it's just because I'm not that good.

I've been an adventurer for ten years,

yet I'm still just a bronze rank,
the second rank from the bottom.

As long as I can hunt monsters and sell
magic crystals and materials to the guild,

that would be enough to make a living.

Thank you for your patronage.

If anything, I'd say I'm pretty stable
for an adventurer.

I made sure to have some savings
in case of emergencies.

But at that time,

I didn't have the cautious mind
that is vital for an adventurer.

Because in this Labyrinth
of Moon's Reflection

that has been exhaustively explored
and left empty with no one around,

I found something
that should have been impossible.

No way...

A hidden passage?!

This is a major discovery!

There's no mistaking it...

An unexplored area!

I might even find a valuable
magic tool or weapon.

No, just delivering
this information to the guild

would be enough to fetch me a fortune!

Normally, I would've avoided this place,

but here I am, alone in this mysterious
and dangerous place.

Because of my foolishness...

...I ended up going face-to-face
with a dragon.

A true dragon, ranking at the top
amongst monsters.

According to legends,
they have many forms,

and some even differ a lot
from the normal dragons.

Even so, I still immediately
realized that thing is a dragon.

I know, even though
I only saw it for the first time.

It pressured me into not being able
to move just from its presence.

That already explains that it's a dragon.

Against a being that stands at the apex,

a forever bronze adventurer like me
has absolutely no chance.

I'm still alive even
after I got eaten by a dragon?!

Huh?

Does this count as being "alive"?

I'm totally a skeleton,
no matter how you look at it.

An Undead...

Despite being part
of the undying monsters,

even a bishop or priest can vanquish
a skeleton with their purifying magic.

In other words, I'm a being that violates
the divine logic of the gods

of "The dead cannot exist in this world."

Going by that logic,
that means I really did die, didn't I?

Wait, no, I still have my memories
and consciousness.

I should return to the town first, then...

Ah.

Okay, maybe not.
I don't want to die yet.

Wait, I'm already dead, so it's more
like I don't want to disappear?

No good! I'm losing my mind!

An adventurer has to keep calm
no matter what!

I won't be able to find an answer
no matter how hard I think right now.

I don't feel the dragon's
presence anymore...

In any case, I should
get away from here first.

Many researchers have tried to solve

the mysteries of labyrinths
that exist throughout the continent,

yet their origin and workings
are still yet to be fully understood.

There are many labyrinths
of varying sizes,

but in them, you can find
magical tools and treasures,

as well as monsters that spawn
from somewhere within.

Even the monsters
are full of mysteries themselves.

Everyone must be going to the Labyrinth
of the New Moon that has better loot.

If I waited for a couple of days,

another solo adventurer
would probably come.

Maybe I can ask them for help.

Wait,

I need to be able to talk
with them before that!

Huh?

My body feels heavy...

Maybe it's because
I don't have any muscle,

but I feel my physical ability
is a lot worse now.

I'm probably weaker
than a regular commoner.

Of course I am.
I'm the same as that skeleton.

I could easily beat it
when I'm still a human, but now...

Let's just be caref... whoa!

I can't even swing a sword?!

Oh no!

Guess I can't exactly apply swordsmanship
when I'm all bony like this.

What about my other abilities?

The life force of all living things...

Spirit!

It activated?!

Right now, I'm the same as you.
We have the same strength.

However, since I have my equipment,
I have the advantage!

I can enhance my body with Spirit
and strengthen my attacks!

Is it still alive?

The Spirit that I used
are being replenished?

Could this be...?

Monsters have quite
a mysterious element to them.

By stacking their age and experience,

they can evolve into a higher being.

Humans also do that, right?

We grow stronger if we train ourselves.

This is on a different level than that.

Right, a skeleton would still be
a skeleton no matter what they do.

But in some rare cases,
they would evolve into a ghoul.

That is called...

...Existential Evolution.

Existential Evolution...

Indeed. That is one of the things
I'm currently researching.

Existential Evolution, huh?

A ghoul is also an Undead,

but they have flesh and
are much more human-like.

That way, I might be able to return
to town

if I disguise myself with a robe
and a mask.

All right, I'll aim to achieve
Existential Evolution for now.

I will slay monsters in this dungeon
and evolve into a ghoul!

He's not coming today either, does he?

Oh well.

Guess I'll have to make dinner myself.

This is the fifth one!

I'm getting better at moving my body.

And it seems like this light
has a recovery effect.

Thanks to that, I can keep
using Spirit in every fight.

I should try challenging
stronger monsters soon.

Slimes are often grouped with skeletons
as representative of weak monsters,

but they must never be underestimated.

Monster with an amorphous, gelatinous body
resists physical attacks by nature.

It's easy to defeat it with magic,

but unfortunately I'm not talented
enough to use offensive magic.

At best, I can only use
fire cantrip for daily life.

So my only choice is to defeat it
with physical attacks.

There are two methods I can use.

Either I pierce its core,

or break up its gelatinous body
to the point that it can't regenerate.

Since I don't have the power
nor ability to do that,

the slimes are pretty much
my arch nemesis since I need to use

a special Spirit art
that I can only use once a day.

Huh?

It seems like my sword
luckily hit the core by accident...

First I need to collect its magic crystal.

While a slime can use their Acid Blitz
ability to shoot acidic projectiles,

their corpses are not acidic.

If anything, putting your hand into it
would make your skin smooth.

Clear slime fluids are often used
as ingredients for cosmetics for women.

But do they really need
to make cosmetics from monsters?

Women sure know no limit
when it comes to the pursuit of beauty.

With all these, I can pay
for several days of rent.

Good!

Take care, then.

- Sheila.
- Oh, yes!

Have you found a party for that
new adventurer from the other day?

Based on the letter,
she's inexperienced,

but seems pretty good with a sword.

There wasn't any
recruiting party that fit her,

so I was planning to ask Rentt to help.

But he hasn't returned since yesterday...

Huh, how unusual.

He didn't take any
long-term quest, did he?

No, there wasn't any quest
that needed him to go outside Maalt.

I told the new adventurer
that I could introduce her

to a good senior
if she could wait for a few days.

But she seemed to be
in need of some money,

so I told her to go to the
Labyrinth of Moon's Reflection.

That sounds good.

If she's capable with a sword,

even a beginner
should be able to handle that.

Yes. Of course, I did tell her
not to push herself too far.

I don't get sleepy at all,
and I don't have any appetite.

I guess that's a given
since I'm an undead.

Even if I eat,
it'll just fall through my body.

I tried fighting through
the whole night because of it,

but I guess Existential Evolution
doesn't happen that easily, huh?

My physical abilities got a lot worse
when I just turned into a skeleton,

but after slaying all those monsters,

it's pretty much
back to how it was before.

My Spirit works just like before.

I can also use my Mana.

I can also use Divinity?
Even though I'm an Undead?

It would be a waste,
so let's use it for the bread.

Divinity isn't only used
for injuries and illnesses.

It can also be used to purify water
and prevent food from spoiling,

so it's pretty convenient.

All right, it should be good
for another three days.

I hope my body can consume bread
in three days...

No point in thinking about that.

Let's just focus on getting
Existential Evolution.

For now, I should slay monsters little
by little while keeping precautions.

I can win against one or two of them.

Three would probably be a tough fight.

If I see four at the same time, I'll run.

As for five and beyond...

Well, the chances of encountering
a huge pack like that here is low,

but if I actually did encounter that,
then that would be the end of me.

Man, I'm so weak...

It's been ten years
since I've become an adventurer.

If I include the training as well,
that would be 20 years.

And while I may be able to use
Spirit, Mana, and Divinity

which is rare for even high-ranking
adventurers to be able to use all three,

I'm not exactly strong
in any of them either...

I know that I'm not fit
to become an adventurer.

Normally, people like me would quit
being an adventurer after a few years,

and either work the fields back
in their village

or look for another job.

But I'm sure things will find a way
as long as I'm alive.

I never stopped training each day,

and I asked for a friend's help
to study monsters and magic.

I took all kinds of quests,
no matter how small.

I kept doing all that
for ten years all for my dream.

To become a mithril-rank adventurer.

A rank higher than gold and platinum.

A level not even naturally
gifted people can easily achieve.

The highest rank reserved for adventurers
capable of saving a whole kingdom.

I will definitely become mithril!

That is what I live for!

I won't give up just because
I turned into a skeleton!

Did I get even stronger
from when I was still human?

It really is.
It wasn't just an accident.

I'm getting stronger.

Oh, right, I should collect these
because they can be sold.

I'm lucky I could get
another clear slime fluid.

Had the slime been consuming something,
it would be gross and unsellable.

What is this?!

I turned into a ghoul...

I have flesh now, even if
it's disgusting and dried out!

That's a great progress!

If I keep going at it, I might even turn
into an Undead of higher rank!

That's right, if I can become a vampire,
then I would look just like a human!

Oh right, I have flesh in my body now.

Good, I can talk!

Hevvo...

Hevvo...

Vood movning...

I'm going to need some practice...

H-hevv oo...!

Hevvo...!

Hym... Rendd...!

Even in days overflowing with emptiness

Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, do not forget

Everything that has been
Piled up will grow

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Deep within you, always

Baby, keep your fire burning

The days built up will never disappear
They will be your strength

Even if it won't be as glorious
As someone else's

You can definitely fly with that speed

Keep the fire burning
