Laika, a middle-aged man working as a support member in a rookie adventurer guild, quietly used his unique skills to aid his teammates from the shadows—greatly contributing to their growth and quest success. But the young adventurers, oblivious to his efforts, start viewing him as dead weight. Being the only “old man” among them, Laika is unfairly criticized and ultimately kicked out of the guild. What they didn’t know… is that Laika was once a member of the legendary Hero’s Party that defeated the Demon Lord ten years ago. Now, as the once-slumbering hero awakens and reunites with his scattered comrades, a brand-new journey begins
In the modern era, enormous dungeons have suddenly appeared in the sky. Alongside this phenomenon, people have gained the ability to manifest “wings,” allowing them to fly up and challenge these aerial dungeons. However, there is one exception: Kojiro Kijiya, a high school student who is the only person unable to generate wings and cannot fly. Branded as a “dropout” and “failure” by society, he refuses to give up on his dream of conquering dungeons. Now begins Kojiro’s dungeon conquest chronicle—the story of how someone who cannot fly will challenge the sky dungeons!
The noble lady Mimosa Alistera carries memories of a past life that ended prematurely due to illness. Having gained a healthy body in this life, Mimosa is determined to be of use to someone. However, she is treated harshly by her family and fiancé, who brand her as "useless" because she can only master auxiliary-type Enchantment Magic. But then, a young Hero appears before her. He tells her that he was saved by one of the paper cranes Mimosa had infused with her magic. Could I actually have the power to help someone? Upon realizing this, Mimosa takes her first steps into a journey of helping others alongside the young man.
