Dungeons began appearing across the world decades ago, bringing monsters, magic, and a new class of humans known as Hunters. Among them, Itsuki Sato is known for only one thing. Being the weakest. Unable to compete with powerful hunters, mocked by those around him, and barely surviving even low-rank raids, Itsuki continues to enter dungeons for one simple reason—he has no other way to survive. But during what should have been a routine C-rank dungeon raid, Itsuki and his team discover something impossible. A second dungeon hidden inside the first. Behind a massive ancient door lies a chamber filled with towering stone statues and a silent god sitting upon a throne. What begins as curiosity quickly turns into a nightmare. The hunters are forced into a deadly series of trials where failure means instant death. One by one, they fall. And when the final trial demands a sacrifice… Itsuki is left behind. Broken. Bleeding. Alone. But just before death claims him, something awakens. A mysterious system that recognizes him as a Player. Now the weakest hunter has been given something no one else in the world possesses. A chance to grow stronger. But the system does not grant power freely. It demands trials. And the next dungeon will be far more merciless.
