“A simple wish for adventure twists into a nightmarish ordeal, proving that some blessings come with a terrible price.”

“A simple wish for adventure twists into a nightmarish ordeal, proving that some blessings come with a terrible price.”

Katie is unwillingly summoned to a fantastical realm for a deceptively trivial fetch quest, promised a swift return home. However, a goddess's blessing, misinterpreting her casual longing for 'an actual adventure,' disastrously strands her deep within a perilous, monster-infested dungeon. Her 'simple' task quickly devolves into a desperate fight for survival, far from any help, with her only goal being to make it back to the surface.

Katie is an ordinary person from Earth, abruptly thrust into extraordinary and terrifying circumstances. Despite facing repeated, horrific setbacks and even death, she possesses an unyielding, tenacious spirit, a dark and often irreverent sense of humor, and a growing, vengeful determination that fuels her relentless fight for survival.

Across the series, Katie's journey is one of brutal, fast-paced progression, where every hard-won step forward demands a piece of her humanity. She constantly battles not only the grotesque external threats of the dungeon but also the monstrous, often disturbing, changes within herself. What begins as a desperate attempt to escape evolves into a quest for power and retribution, transforming her from a reluctant victim into a formidable, morally ambiguous antihero determined to carve her own path through a grim reality.
