Disciple of the Lich: Or How I Was Cursed by the Gods and Dropped into the Abyss!

When Kanbara Kanata is whisked away from his mundane life to a world of adventure, he inadvertently offends the all-powerful being who brought him there. As punishment, he is sent to the bottom of the most dangerous dungeon without a single special power or ability! He is sure that he's a goner until he meets a lich girl named Lunaere--an undead powerhouse who hates humans, but grudgingly decides to assist him all the same. With Lunaere's help, Kanata may just grow into someone truly incredible!

Kanata is making his way in the wider world of Locklore, despite the lich Lunaere's warnings about its dangers. But after Lunaere's intensive training, everyone he runs into seems strangely...weak? Still, you can't be too careful, so Kanata and his new friends make their way toward the city of Manaloch to get some alchemy ingredients. But danger lurks nearby in the form of an infestation of giant spider monsters! And somewhere in the world, Lunaere is slowly making her way back to Kanata...

Kanata and his friends have settled temporarily in the city of Manaloch after freeing it from the clutches of demons. They're trying to create the Blood Ether of the Gods, a powerful potion that Lunaere used as a vital part of Kanata's training. But their work is interrupted when Kanata makes a surprising discovery: another transplant from Japan, the mysterious Kotone, is looking for him.
