"Ren, are you interested in video streaming?"... more>>

Ren, who had no particular hobbies besides dungeon exploration, was suddenly approached with this question by one of his few friends, Yuya.

"Streaming? Do I look like someone who’d be interested in that?"

"No, not really."

"Then don’t waste your breath. Besides, I already turned down your offer to appear in your videos before."

Just as Ren enjoyed dungeon exploration, Yuya’s hobby was video streaming. He had asked Ren to appear in his videos several times, but Ren, having no interest, had refused every time. However, this time, things seemed different.

"That’s not what I mean. I’m suggesting you create your own channel and try streaming yourself."

"You really think someone who won’t even appear in your videos would bother with something that complicated? Or does this have something to do with you complaining about your channel not growing?"

"I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t related—but that’s not the only reason. This could benefit you too."

"Benefit me?"

"Yeah. Remember how you were complaining about the rise in explorers with bad manners recently?"

It was true—he had complained about that.

In the past, all items obtained through dungeon exploration had to be submitted to the government first. After evaluating whether personal ownership would be allowed, explorers were either permitted to keep their finds or compensated with money if the government decided to retain them. There were also many other regulations that put explorers at a disadvantage.

Frustrated by risking their lives for what felt like an unfair system, many Japanese explorers had started leaving the country for more explorer-friendly nations. Seeing the situation as a serious problem, the Japanese government made sweeping reforms last year, making it easier for explorers to earn a living.

But as a side effect, there had been an influx of beginners treating dungeon exploration like a casual part-time job—leading to a surge in bad behavior.

"Sure, most of those rule-breakers are probably students, but I think the biggest reason is that there just aren’t enough chances for people to learn proper etiquette—especially through platforms that young people actually use."

Yuya had a point.

Unlike those seeking to make a fortune, Ren became an explorer simply because he loved dungeons. He constantly studied on his own to improve. But for someone just looking to make easy money, knowing the basic rules was enough—there was little reason to dive deeper into learning proper manners.

"But even if I did a stream about dungeon etiquette, who would bother watching it? And making videos involves more than just shooting footage, right?"

"I’ll handle everything except the filming. What I need from you is to record inside the dungeon."

"Inside the dungeon?"

"Yeah. It’s easier to understand if you show the rules in action instead of just explaining them."

"I see…"

And so, with a little push from Yuya’s smooth-talking, Ren reluctantly agreed to start streaming. <<less

**The day of the middle school graduation ceremony.**... more>>

Ren Yuuki was suddenly summoned to another world.

— Five years later.

Through sheer determination to survive, he became a hero and saved the other world.

By defeating the Demon King, he was finally able to return to his original world.

“So, a dungeon popped up during the five years I was gone, huh? Well, I’m done with fighting, so it’s got nothing to do with me.”

Dungeons.

Since they began appearing five years ago, they had brought significant changes to humanity.

However, Ren Yuuki, weary from endless battles, showed no interest in them. Instead, he led a carefree life, working part-time and indulging in games.

But his former bad friend, who had become a dungeon broker, wasn’t about to leave him alone.

“Hey, hey, hey! What’s this, Ren? Your status says ‘Hero Who Returned From Another World’!?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t worry about it!? I absolutely *will* worry!”

…To be continued. <<less

*Sigh* “Another day with 0 viewers and only 3 subscribers… Am I just not cut out for this, I wonder…”... more>>

Karlin Yamada, a high school girl who streamed dungeon exploration, was on the brink of losing hope.

Inspired by elegant explorer characters from anime, she had started her channel a year ago as a noble lady conquering dungeons in a dress. Yet, whether due to her concept or her videos lacking entertainment value, despite her potential as an explorer, her channel remained stagnant.

One day, while exploring the lower levels of a dungeon, Karlin spotted a peculiar man.

“Well, I’m gonna set off an explosion now~”

In his hand was a dangerous substance prohibited by the country, on the verge of ignition—

“What the heck are you doing? Geeez!”

Her ladylike demeanor forgotten, she delivered a swift punch. Along with her scolding, she promptly rendered the man unconscious.

“It’s fortunate I ended the stream before this. I can’t possibly broadcast such an indecent scene,” Karlin mused, carrying the man outside and taking him home.

However, behind the scenes…

“Who’s that high-and-mighty rich girl!?”

“Why did the rising star explorer get knocked around unilaterally!?”

“Seriously, why’s she wearing a dress in the lower levels!?”

“Isn’t she completely nuts!?”

The man Karlin had dealt with was a notorious troublemaking dungeon streamer. Her action of physically stopping his dangerous behavior was globally broadcasted. The video of the young, promising explorer being lectured by a mysterious young lady started going viral. Karlin’s account was swiftly identified due to her accidental failure to end the stream. By the next morning, she unwittingly became a legend.

In this manner, Karlin’s extraordinary strength and exceptional feats gained exposure and continued to trend. Her popularity and influence transcended the boundaries of streaming, evolving into something much bigger. <<less

“This isn’t skinship, we’re guiding, so please guide properly.”

“Han Seo-jin, are you all right…Ugh- that bastard. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He can’t live being guided or chosen out like this.

However, in the meantime, he was even forced to sign a contract by a crazy man he ran into.

“Wandering around with a face that resembles Kang Eui-jin, what else can I do but put a leash on him?”

“Pay attention to me! You’re just going out and look for Kang Eui-jin at a time like this?”

Let’s run away.

If I complete the main quest, I can get my previous skills back.

Then I can run away from all the bonds, set up a studio in a secluded place free of all accommodations, and make a potion again.

Tasha crossed over to a different world, and she transformed into a half-dead dungeon.

Yes, like in a game where you raise a monster ecosystem, hide treasure chests, and wait for heroes to come and fight.

Four hundred years after the Plane War, space cracks severed the connections between the divine realm, abyss, and human realm. Dragons and elves had long left the continent, the legendary hero who could move mountains and seas had become a myth, and the anomalies and hybrids that remained in the human world had become outcasts. At the peak of the expansion of the human empire, an ancient dungeon that could possibly connect to the abyss and summon demons had awakened.

The story of crossing into a dungeon, creating a grey new world that accommodates all races, beliefs, and lifestyles, with a self-serving female lead who has her own set of principles.

Management, upgrading, and an ensemble cast, with a focus on the plot, minimal emotions, the female lead transitioning later into human form, and the male lead being a demon who is dedicated to “digging pits” but ends up being persuaded by the female lead to advocate for world harmony. The protagonist is loyal to “golden thighs” and has self-created worldviews and societal progress, with accelerating gears; overall, it’s a healing genre. <<less

Dungeons suddenly appeared in the world, and the concept of "levels" was born among humanity.... more>>

However, only women possessed the concept of levels.

Men had no levels, but instead, somewhere on their bodies, a mark resembling a scar with a number appeared.

Finally, the truth was revealed:

That number… represented experience points.

And the method by which women could absorb a man’s experience points was by ❌️❌️❌️.

Handsome? Wealthy? Well-educated?

No, the men with the most experience points were the ones who became popular!

“Nothing.”

Huh? Could it be that I’m the least desirable man in this entire world...? <<less

As Jung Yiwon, a seasoned veteran of the game, I must gather 4-star heroes at all costs to defend the dungeon.

But one day, I encounter a character who doesn’t exist in the game: The 5-star hero, Holy Knight Keith.

“You follow the will of the gods. It is an honor to meet you here.”

Keith? He’s not supposed to appear in Ian’s storyline. After all, Keith is supposed to be a playable character like Ian.

“Wait, is he really here? Does that mean I can recruit other playable characters too?”

Excited by the possibility of discovering a hidden route, the game veteran Ian tries to recruit Keith. But things don’t go as planned.

Keith’s sword presses against Ian’s throat as his hostile eyes pierce him.
