Synopsis for Dungeon Meshi
After the Golden Kingdom is driven underground by an insane wizard, its king emerges, promising all his treasure to whoever defeats the wizard, before falling apart. The guilds are encouraged by this promise and traverse the labyrinthine dungeon in search of the mage. Laios, the leader of one of these guilds, meets a dragon that annihilates his group and devours his sister Falin. Despite having lost all of his supplies and belongings, Laios, along with Marcille, an elf healer, and Chilchuck, a halfling thief, immediately re-enter the dungeon, determined to save Falin.
As time is of the essence, Laios suggests the taboo of eating dungeon monsters as a means of gathering supplies. As they prepare their first meal in the dungeon, they are stopped by a dwarf named Senshi. A monster cooking enthusiast, he helps them prepare their monster ingredients for safe consumption. Upon learning of Laios' circumstances, Senshi expresses her wish to cook a dragon and joins his guild, thus beginning their foray into the food-filled dungeon together.
