After a long night sweating over the anvil, Satou’s new sword is finished, and its power is like nothing he’s ever seen before.

Suzuki is a programmer in the midst of a death march-crunch time, when coders live on caffeine and pull twenty-hour days. He just needs a little nap...but then he has a dream. A dream where he's in another world, with RPG powers right out of his game. A dream where he calls down a great disaster. A dream that, suspiciously, just won't end...

WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE... With the demon threat neutralized, relative peace has returned to Labyrinth City, allowing the residents to shift their focus back to the labyrinth itself.

Looks like it's time for Satou and the others to head back to Bolenan Forest for some specialized training with the elves!

RISE AND GRIND! ​Desperate to protect those close to her, Zena approaches Satou with a simple wish: She wants to become stronger.

Satou is due in the royal capital, and if his luck is anything to go by, it’s only a matter of time before trouble rears its ugly head!

Showdown in Castle Town! Having successfully averted the airship attack, Satou and company arrive safely in the royal capital. There, they are reunited with Nana’s “sisters”—Numbers 1 through 8—and give them the gift of a lifetime. But as is tradition with every trip to the capital, Satou must rub elbows with the aristocracy before he can enjoy his sightseeing. He even receives a surprise visit or two, including a summons from Sir Juleburg of the Eight Swordsman of Shiga! Because no leisurely trip would be complete without a friendly duel…

After his party’s valiant effort protecting the Muno Barony, Satou is officially knighted. He joins the ranks of the nobility, gaining no small amount of prestige in the process.
