The Adventurers' Guild

Work at the Eterna border

The Adventurers’ Guild gives paid work and letter rank to people who take contracts in the Dark Forest. Its local branch profits from the risks ordinary villages cannot face.

Ryuji’s path

Ryuji joined after defending villagers from bandits, spent a year completing forest contracts alone, and reached B-rank. His attempted promotion with a hobgoblin commander’s head led to the wager that sent him to the School. Volume II returns the Guild to view through the forest and later through Ryuji’s flight from the Tower, showing the practical life he once tried to build outside his father’s control.
