Synopsis of Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha
Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old adventurer, has been fighting monsters for over a decade. However, without much talent for the job, Rentt always ends up fighting slimes and goblins for a paltry amount of money a day.
Little does he know that all of this is about to change when he discovers a secret path to the Moon Labyrinth. What awaits you at the end of the road, however, is not a treasure or riches, but a legendary dragon that does not waste time devouring it. Soon after, Rentt wakes up, but discovers that he is not dead, nor is he alive either. Now it's just a pile of bones. Armed with nothing but his trusty sword, tool belt, and a terrifying new look, Rentt will begin a new adventure as a skeleton in search of a mythical item that will hopefully return him to human form.
