As Krai’s dynamic with the high-level hunter from abroad worsens, his interest is diverted toward the relic auction starting up in the capital. He has his eye on winning the Reversible Face, and is planning to do just that when a girl named Éclair, the daughter of a nobleman, starts to compete with him for the same prize!

The White Wolf's Den is revealed as the site of the Tower of Akasha's wicked experiments! Sitri, the Grieving Souls' alchemist, races to the scene to take the reins of the investigation, but what awaits her there?

“Krai gave us all a great opportunity.” Krai sends a team of hunters to investigate the White Wolf’s Den—and what they find are the deadly fruits of the Akashic Tower’s monstrous research! Not even the breakneck strikes of Liz the Stifled Shadow can take down their mighty golem, but the battle takes an unexpected turn when Krai himself appears...Will Krai show his true strength that most definitely lives up to a perfectly legitimate reputation? And what is Sophia, the brains behind the treacherous mages’ operation, really up to?

All their blood, sweat, and tears...They’ve spilled a bit more than the rest of you.The capital is in a clamor as word spreads about the arrival of a band of high-level hunters—including Arnold Hail, the infamous Dragon Slayer known as the Crashing Lightning! Krai, of course, couldn’t care less about anything other than the upcoming Zebrudian auction, but he’ll be in trouble soon if he doesn’t get his relics charged fast. Thankfully, Sitri has devised a “top-secret training method” that can both charge the relics and boost the whole party’s mana reserves…just in time for a pair of superhuman Noble Spirits who have a bone to pick with the Grievers!

Let This Grieving Soul Retire is a manga adaptation of the fan-favorite fantasy light novel series.

“All we need is one goal-to be the strongest heroes in the world!” In a land where treasure hunters scour vaults appearing from the past, Krai Andrey and his friends swore a childhood oath to become the mightiest heroes of all. There’s just one problem: While his old companions have become living legends, Krai is the poster child for mediocrity…and he knows it! But despite his best efforts to leave the treasure-hunting life, he has gained quite the reputation by association-and with it, enormous expectations. Can Krai pursue his dream of retirement, or is he destined to fail forever upwards?

“I knew the Master was right. The Master is God.” Krai Andrey, still the untalented head of the renowned First Steps clan, has accidentally sent the ever-capable Tino Shade (and a bunch of new recruits) on a challenging and deadly mission. To Krai, it’s a major screw-up of his own making. To Tino, however, it’s the latest example of Krai’s sheer genius and a true test of their mettle! Armed with such optimistic thinking, can the group overcome the phantoms of the White Wolf’s Den…?

“Are you just not hungry enough? Not hungry enough for power?” Tino Shade’s unexpectedly difficult rescue mission has landed her party in hot water, and the pack of bloodthirsty wolf knights doesn’t seem interested in taking prisoners. With Krai showing up out of the blue, they might have a chance—that is, until he ends up in the same jam! With fearsome foes on all sides, will Krai finally flex the true power of a level 8 treasure hunter…or is he all talk, as usual?

Although Krai and crew may have gotten out of the White Wolf’s Den alive, it’s too soon for celebration—something even more dangerous may have escaped with them: Sitri’s Slime! But while Krai is preoccupied with the elusive monster, another brewing threat decides to make its move. Can Krai handle the looming crisis—even if he doesn’t realize the trouble he’s causing all around him?

As Krai and the First Steps prepare to raid the White Wolf’s Den, Sitri Smart, creator of the monster slime on the loose, shows up just in time! If anyone knows how to deal with the missing slime fiasco, it’s her—except she also has no ideas about its whereabouts or what form it may have taken. Instead, she has more bad news: The threat in the vault is something entirely different and way more dangerous…Just what kind of trouble did Krai send his clan into?

Having wrapped up their battles in Yutith's Tomb, Holy Warrior Naotsugu Toudou and crew (with Ares Crown hot on their heels) make their way to Golem Valley to level up. But there's no end in sight for Ares's troubles-his newest recruit, Stephenne Veronide, may be a talented holy caster, but she's also a world-class ditz! With her around, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Will Ares be able to keep his cool as he maneuvers both her and the Holy Warrior out of harm's way? Or has this priest finally reached the end of his rope?

The hero's party is off to the water capital, Cloudburst, in order to contract with more powerful elemental spirits. It's a big endeavor for even the typical mage, but a necessary one to defeat the Demon Lord. They may have bitten off more than they can chew, but not to worry-priest Ares Crown is close behind, and this time he's got two powerful mercenaries with him! One way or another, he'll keep the hero safe, even if it means venturing to the bottom of the ocean! ...Unless the Demon Lord's right-hand man and ruler of the seas has anything to say about that.

Ten years have passed since the Demon Lord Kranos declared war on mankind. As the situation grows desperate, the Ruxe Kingdom summons a hero from another world to stand against this threat. Assigned by the Church to join the hero's party, a battle-worn priest arrives to fulfill his obligations but is shocked to find that his companions are utterly inept! A mage who can only use fire magic, a swordswoman recently defected from her father's fighting school, and a hero obsessed with women?! With an average level totaling just 15, there's no way these novices are capable of taking down a demon lord! But a job's a job, so it's up to the man of God (who thankfully has power to spare) to support these buffoons from the shadows. With an extraordinary healer on their side, defeating their target will be a cinch! ...Hopefully.

Next stop on the party's quest to defeat the Demon Lord: Yutith's Tomb, home to undead monsters. It's a great place to level up a bunch of novices, but there's just one problem -- the hero is terrified of the undead! On the bright side, the party may have finally found a priest to join their quest. She's an apprentice and can't cast any spells, but that's still better than nothing, right? In the meantime, the party's previous priest, Ares, trails behind them, providing support in secret -- and pulling a few strings -- until they can defeat the Demon Lord once and for all.
