Anxiety, endurance, instinct. Cast into an alien realm with only vague recollections and the knowledge of their own name, they can sense only these three feelings pulsing deep inside them. A cohort of strangers has no choice but to take the sole paid position in this game‑like world—the post of a soldier in the Reserve Army—and wipe out any threat to peace in their new land, Grimgar.
When all the stronger applicants band together, those left behind must form a party to survive: Manato, a charismatic leader and priest; Haruhiro, a jittery thief; Yume, an upbeat hunter; Shihoru, a timid mage; Moguzo, a gentle warrior; and Ranta, an unruly dark knight. Though it looks like one, this is not a game—there are no resets or respawns; it is kill or be killed.
Now the ragged band of improbable fighters must endure together in a world where life and death are divided by only a thin line for those who dare to survive and thrive.
