Story
The Dungeon City is a lawless place rife with crime, debauchery, and death. Its sole beacon of hope is Arwin, the beautiful Crimson Princess Knight, who leads a party of adventurers into the dungeon at the city’s heart in search of a legendary treasure capable of restoring her fallen kingdom. Many covet a place at her side, yet that role belongs to Matthew — a man universally scorned as a cowardly freeloader who squanders her earnings on booze, women, and gambling. What no one in the city suspects — not even the princess knight herself — is just how capable Matthew truly is.
