Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old adventurer, has been hunting monsters for a decade. However, with little talent for the job, Rentt is often limited to hunting Slimes and Goblins for a meager amount of money daily. Little does he know that all this is about to change when he enters a seemingly unexplored path in the Moon’s Reflective Labyrinth.
However, what he didn’t expect at the end of the road was not treasure or wealth, but a legendary dragon that increasingly destroyed him! When Rentt wakes up, he discovers that he’s not quite dead, but he’s no longer alive either — he’s like a bunch of bones! Armed with only a trusty sword, a tool belt, and a spooky new appearance, Rentt sets out on a journey to become a newly reborn mummy, hoping to one day return to civilization with more human shape.
Will Rentt succeed or will the maze consume him throughout his next life…?
Yū Okano introduced the series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2016, and OVERLAP published a print edition with illustrations by Jaian in October 2017. A manga adaptation by Haiji Nakasone appeared on Comic Gardo’s website OVERLAP in November 2017.
