The World's Strongest Rearguard: Labyrinth Country's Novice Seeker

Once, the scariest thing to Arihito Atobe was his workaholic boss, Kyouka Igarashi. Now, this ex–corporate slave faces a world where monster-filled labyrinths are the norm and teamwork is key to survival. While others are eager to charge headlong into battle, Arihito chooses to become a “rearguard”: a class dedicated to helping allies from the back lines. The rearguard gig should be his ticket to avoid repeating his old life, but this opportunity may just shed new light on what it means to support one’s partners and work together!

Having formed a party and found companions he can explore the world with, Arihito is finally settling into his new normal as a Seeker in the Labyrinth Country. But when a girl goes missing, he’s soon plunged deeper into the dungeon than his party is prepared to handle…Despite joining up with “Death Sword” Elitia and Shrine Maiden Suzuna, Arihito and his team may be in way over their heads!

Arihito and his makeshift party have somehow emerged victorious against the Juggernaut. Having heard about the miracles of the cathedral in District Four, they feel a renewed determination to make Theresia human again, but many labyrinths stand between them and their goal. Though his allies have doubled in number, will Arihito’s rearguard abilities be enough to protect them?

Thanks to a severe wound, Arihito is all too aware that his rearguard powers have one major flaw: He can’t use them for personal protection! Now it’s up to Kyouka and the rest of the party to support him, but can they overcome the Field of Dawn’s mighty gatekeeper, the Giant Eagle- Headed Warrior? Victory would mean discovering powerful secrets about the world-including the reason they were all brought to the Labyrinth Country in the first place!

Having awakened a Hidden God at the heart of the Labyrinth Country, Arihito’s party has shot to the top of District Eight’s rankings, overtaking the previous #1 party, Polaris. Now the friendly rivals aim to take the exam to rise to District Seven together…and not even a stampede is going to stop them! Can Arihito’s party pass their exam and protect civilians in danger, all while holding their own against waves of escaped monsters? Perhaps an unexpected ally will help turn the tide…

Just as Arihito and his party are in the midst of quelling a stampede, a foe more formidable than any other appears—one capable of overwhelming even Arihito’s support and defense skills. Yet all hope is not lost, for they still have a secret weapon: the powers of a Hidden God on their side. Will Arihito succeed at advancing his party to District Seven…and get one step closer to his goal of restoring Theresia’s humanity?

After a tough battle, Arihito and his friends are celebrating their advancement to District Seven—when a distress call comes in from their rival party, Polaris! Georg’s group was last seen heading into the toughest labyrinth in District Eight, the Shrieking Wood…and Arihito’s party may be the only ones who can save them. They take the mission in a heartbeat, but when faced with the bone-chilling terror of the labyrinth and monsters that turn party members against one another, can they manage to not fall victim themselves?

Arihito and his party arrive in District Seven with their reward from the Shrieking Wood in tow: a curious black box. But just as they’re about to open it, Ariadne appears with a warning. Sealed inside the box, she says, is a dangerous, sentient weapon capable of wiping them all out or providing them with great power—if they can manage to control it. Arihito isn’t one to back down from a challenge…but will a weapon of the Hidden Gods prove too much for his party to handle?

New encounters galore await in District Seven! Despite starting off as one of the higher-ranked parties in the district, Arihito and his friends soon realize the “hunting grounds” of the labyrinths are monopolized by an alliance called Beyond Liberty. In order for them to face up to these top-ranked competitors, it’s time to team up with a new party…!
