Haruhiro wakes in an unfamiliar world among people who have no memory of how they arrived. They have neither money nor exceptional powers to make the transition easy. Becoming Volunteer Soldiers gives his small group a way to earn a living, but it also asks inexperienced people to make dangerous work part of an ordinary day.

Their party divides the work between a thief, a dark knight, a priest, a warrior, a hunter and a mage. Those roles offer different tools rather than an instant working team. Haruhiro and his companions have to learn how their actions affect one another while trying to survive in a world that has supplied no remembered home to return to.

Yume carries a bow as the party’s hunter, one part of a group whose jobs cannot all be done by the same person. An adventurer’s role is something to practise with other people, rather than proof that arriving in Grimgar has already made its holder capable.
