Declared Dead, Exiled, and Betrayed— Now I Walk Away, but I’ll Save One Who Cared

I Was the Leader of This City’s Top Adventurer Party—Betrayed, Cast Out, and Left for Dead, But Now I’ll Show Them My True Power

I was the leader of this city’s top adventurer party. Dungeon exploration is a life-or-death battle, and today was no different—we were fully prepared for the challenge.

But then, our party’s thief screwed up. Disarming traps is his job, isn’t it? So why the hell did he step right onto one? As the leader, I did what I had to—I shielded him. The result? I fell into the dungeon’s deepest layers.

What followed was pure hell. Swarms of monstrously powerful enemies, starvation, poison—I fought tooth and nail, never knowing which way to go. Somehow, against all odds, I survived. And after months of struggle, I finally made it back.

What was waiting for me?

Betrayal.

My fiancée and that damn thief had stabbed me in the back. Are you kidding me? Since when was it my fault that I triggered the trap and put everyone in danger?!

Get out of the city? Like hell I’d stay after this!

At least, that’s what I thought—until my ex-fiancée’s little sister was the only one to comfort me.

I was ready to walk away for good. The city, the party—I didn’t care anymore.

But then, she was in danger.

And of course, I’m going to save her.

Time to show them the power of someone who survived the dungeon’s deepest layers!
