| Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world! While the rest of his class are blessed with godlike powers and tasked with saving the human race from extinction, Hajime's job, a Synergist, only has a single transmutation skill. Will he be able to survive in this dangerous world of monsters and demons with only a glorified blacksmith's level of strength? | ||

The once meek high-schooler has become a tough-as-nails avenger who will do whatever it takes to fight his way back home. To do that, he must first conquer the vert bottom-most depths of the Labyrinth — and before him stands its prisoner, a beautiful young woman who claims royal, immortal blood.

Together with his lover and ally, the immortal Yue, he departs for the next step on his journey: the forest of the beastmen. Unfortunately, there are a few ride-alongs... not least among them a gorgeous, clumsy, and uniquely annoying rabbit-girl. | ||

| OF GUNS AND GOLEMS Along with their new rabbit-eared companion, Hajime and Yue are ready to challenge one of the world's most perilous dungeons: the labyrinth of Miledi Reisen.
