During one visit, Hajime is betrayed by one of his classmates who throws him into the dungeon's depths. Waking up surrounded by magic beasts, the protagonist has no aim of giving up on his will to live and survives by feasting on these dangerous monsters. Slowly but surely, he keeps getting stronger and discovers the wonders of the dungeon, making a party of his own.
