Manga UP! Global describes the story:
The swordsman, Jir, had just joined a well-known S-rank party when he finds himself stranded all alone in the hardest labyrinth. Normally, there’s no way to survive such a situation other than to wait for rescue. Relying on nothing but his heroic sword skills, Jir decides to escape on his own! “Heh! You’re all bark and no bite, Labyrinth!” he boldly declares. Due to his extremely poor sense of direction, he’s completely unaware that he’s headed towards the deepest level where the labyrinth boss awaits!!
quiet launched the original novel series on the “Shōsetsuka ni Narō” (Let’s Become Novelists) website in January 2021. Square Enix published the light novel’s first volume with illustrations by toi8 in August 2021, and the second volume in January 2022.
Murokouichi launched the manga adaptation in Square Enix‘s Manga UP! website in January 2022. Square Enix published the manga’s first compiled book volume in August 2022, and will publish the third volume on September 7.
