Synopsis

Kinji Ninomiya is a NEET who has amassed enough money through real-estate investment to fund a penthouse lifestyle without ever having to work. This changes when a portal suddenly transports him to a fantasy world where he quickly ends up enslaved to a mining company extracting crystals from a dungeon.

Kinji learns the dungeon has become much more dangerous. Shia decides to put him through extreme training during which he learns living beings can absorb natural mana and convert it into magic to boost physical abilities, something he cannot do as he is from a world without mana. Kinji sees Ranga playing with a broken gun he brought from the future, but when Rem tries to eat it, the gun absorbs her mana and requests a password to activate, which Kinji accidentally gets right by jokingly suggesting the commonly used keyboard password QWERTY. Realizing he now has a powerful weapon to compensate his physical weakness Kinji takes everyone back to the dungeon to catch up with Belza’s adventurers. Kinji uses the gun to kill several monsters but the battery drains quickly and begins to drain mana from the environment to recharge, including the magic fibres woven into their clothing, leaving everyone almost naked. After being punished by Shia, Kinji threatens to get rid of the gun, only to realize the gun has a stalker girlfriend personality and is forced to keep it when it threatens to self-destruct and kill everyone if he tries to get rid of it.

They follow Kinji’s scent and find him tormenting an undead mage, who explains hundreds of years ago his reputation was ruined by a hero so he was forced into dungeon mining until he died of exhaustion. He now haunts the dungeon and brainwashes adventurers to work themselves to death as revenge. Kinji reveals Raiza’ha’s concept of “corporate drones”, causing the mage to pass to the afterlife as adventurers are already working themselves to death. Kinji meets a young struggling shop manager in the dungeon, Cindy, and makes her a deal, if he can fill her shop with paying customers she will sell him her best dungeon equipment at a massive discount. As the potions made by the zombies have no actual effect Kinji promotes them as a pre-battle nutrient drink for massive profit but are soon shut down by Raiza’ha.

Rim dreams of a girl with horns. Kinji saves maintenance workers who explain the doors to the fifth and third floors are both blocked so they are now stuck on the fourth floor indefinitely while Belza’s bodyguards are now trapped on the fifth floor which has only two powerful monsters guarding the door to the sixth floor. The Ant Queen arrives having fled with her colony from earthquakes, and she has the horned girl who turns out to be Majin. Queen explains Majin was born after Rim left the dungeon to be its new guardian, but now she is unwell so the dungeon is more dangerous. Rim reacts unusually by hunting food for Majin without eating any herself, but Majin reacts violently which upsets Rim. She explains to Kinji she feels guilty for defeating Majin, causing Majin to be too weak to manage the dungeon. Kinji and the others return the fourth floors ecosystem to normal through forestry and animal husbandry while Rim looks after Majin. With the fourth floor back to normal Majin recovers and is given the name Sky by Rim. Sky suddenly falls seriously ill as the door to the fifth floor opens and the two monsters multiply into dozens and overwhelm the bodyguards.

Leading an army of the monster guards aboveground he confronts Belza with enough jewels from the dungeon to clear his debts that quits his job. Three months later Kinji has turned the dungeon into a theme park with Ranga as his assistant and begins buying other abandoned dungeons. Using his powers he is able to manage the dungeons magic without Rim or Majin, turning them back into profitable mines run by the Ant Queen. Shia starts a new career. Kinji crashes Raiza’ha’s profits by flooding the market with cheap demonite and putting Cindy in charge of a magazine based delivery service on adventuring equipment which, thanks to Wanibe performing demonite research, are cheaper and higher in quality than anything Raiza’ha sells. He also ends discrimination against demi-humans by employing them with the same rights as humans. Belza becomes an alcoholic and is tormented by Ranga who, as her descendant, knows Belza’s childhood history. Belza suddenly invents a plan to get revenge on Kinji using Shia.
12"GoOd Day,goodbye"Mirai MinatoDeko AkaoMirai MinatoSeptember 24, 2021 (2021-09-24)

The Ant Queen remembers Kinji wrote a manual for this kind of emergency. A month later Belza is made Raiza’ha’s Director but is shocked when Kinji is suddenly released and made CEO. Wanibe reveals that following Kinji’s manual, they purchased 40% of all Raiza’ha stocks and convinced the owners of another 15% to support them, giving them a majority ownership of Raiza’ha. Raiza’ha is absorbed into Kinji’s company where he makes Belza work with Ranga to improve their family relationship. Despite his victory Kinji finds he is unhappy. Concerned about his behaviour Ranga reveals that Kinji is from Japan and may be planning to return.
