Nick is a knowledgeable and skilled adventurer who always gave his party his best—that is, until he got framed and unceremoniously kicked out! He hits rock bottom when his girlfriend dumps him, but before long, he finds kindred spirits in a former noble lady, an excommunicated priest, and a dragonian warrior he meets at a bar. Having also lost faith in humanity after individual betrayals, these three share Nick’s distrust in others. That isn’t all they have in common, though—all four are in dire need of money. Thus begins the story of the world's greatest adventuring party!

Thanks to their similiar experiences of betrayal, Nick, Tiana, Zem, and Karan have formed their own adventurer’s party called Survivors to turn their lives around and—most importantly—finance their hobbies. Things are going well, as they have obtained a holy sword with multiple powers that can take on a human form! But then Nick bumps into his ex-girlfriend and is dragged into a duel with her adventurer’s party, the Iron Tiger Troop, whose members are all fraudsters. Will the Survivors be able to defeat them and expose their crimes?

Unjustly expelled from his last party, adventurer Nick and his crew of similarly burned adventurers—a once-noble mage, excommunicated priest, and dragonian lady knight—have conquered the slimes of the first beginner labyrinth, and they now set out toward Goblin Forest. Taking down some goblins? That you can do alone! But trust and teamwork are their only hope to defeat the hordes of hobgoblins and the mighty ogre deep in the woods… Can they really succeed when their strategy relies on Karan the dragonian, who will have to relive her traumatic memories and act as the van guard with her back to her team once again?

Life isn’t going well for veteran adventurer Nick. Despite his loyalty to his party, he was betrayed by a teammate who accused him of embezzlement, then kicked out by his mentor. On top of that, his girlfriend dumped him too! Tired, heartbroken, and looking for a drink, Nick chances upon a few kindred spirits who are as jaded as he is. Can these disillusioned heroes put their faith in each other long enough to save the world together…?

But trust and teamwork are their only hope to defeat the hordes of hobgoblins and the mighty ogre deep in the woods…Can they really succeed when their strategy relies on Karan the dragonian, who will have to relive her traumatic memories and act as the vanguard with her back to her team once again?

Nick and his ragtag band of jaded adventurers have managed to carefully establish a system of rules that can make them all comfortable despite?the scars of betrayal each of them carries. When a party relies on checks and balances rather than fellowship and love, dungeon delving for the legendary trust-powered Sword of Bonds is the last thing you would expect them to do—but that quest just pays too well for Nick and the crew to turn it down! And perhaps this odd group will find that there is more between them than they imagined...?

Nick and his party have conquered the labyrinth and claimed the holy Sword of Bonds—just about the last thing you would expect of a group brought together by their pasts full of traumatic betrayals! But maybe, just maybe, the party can come to trust each other at least a little bit and to heal the scars of their histories together…That is, if a chance encounter with Claudine, the wicked woman who duped Nick, doesn’t reopen old wounds first!

A party of adventurers, beaten down by a cruel world, tied together not by trust or love but by necessity… A description of Nick and the Survivors that could fit just as well for Leon, Claudine, and the Iron Tiger Troop! So when Nick steps into the ring and raises his fists, he’s grappling with a giant tiger-man…and with the vagaries of character and fate. What led his foe astray? And would one wrong step have sent him down the same path…?

THE DEEPEST SHADOWS CAN HIDE BEHIND THE BRIGHTEST LIGHTS. After a fierce battle, Nick and the others succeeded in crushing the demon-god worshipper White Mask. The guild is extremely happy with their performance, so the Survivors are entrusted with Nick’s dream job: guarding an idol concert! But when they discover counterfeit tickets—and a connection to the demon god’s adherents—they start to doubt that this is a normal escort mission. And that’s all before Sun Knight captain Alice shares her suspicions about Nick’s former party member Garos, shaking him to the core. Karan is there to lend her support, but her feelings for Nick seem to be changing...

Tiana and Nick’s visit to the casino was only intended as a way to blow off some steam, but when Tiana runs into a certain wealthy young lady getting taken for a ride by her loser boyfriend, she has a chance to show off and do some good at the same time! Meanwhile, Leon stews in his defeat and imprisonment. But the Survivors haven’t seen the last of him yet—he will grasp at any chance, any slight sliver of power, if it will secure his revenge…

The Survivors failed in their mission to guard the idol concert. Diamond is gone, and Karan has fallen victim to an incurable curse. And unfortunately, with Garos dead, they have no clue how to help Karan. When Argus, leader of Combat Masters and Nick's mentor appears, even the Union spell is no match for Labyrinth City's most powerful. However, with the help of a certain someone, it seems they might just be able to turn the tables...until Callios puts the Survivors in an even more desperate situation. Is this the end for the disillusioned adventurers?
