Three years ago, dungeons suddenly appeared on Earth after an experiment in Area 51 went awry. Now everyone—from average citizens to soldiers—explores these monster-filled labyrinths in search of wealth, power, and magic.
Keigo Yoshimura is an office worker with no sense of adventure, who dreams of quitting his job to live the easy life. While out on a business call, he stumbles on the birth of a new dungeon and accidentally gains a magical skill that turns subterranean exploration into an RPG. Things spiral out of control and Keigo winds up as the world’s top explorer.
With help from Azusa Miyoshi, his mathematically gifted colleague and new business partner in dungeon diving, he might be able to turn the status screens he sees into piles of cash. Unfortunately, Keigo ends up under the scrutiny of the military, government agencies, and even more sinister forces. What happened to his dream of taking it easy?!

Back on the surface, government agencies across the world are also starting to move—some hoping to aid D-Powers, while others seek to thwart them. This time, Keigo will have to face enemies far more dangerous than slimes, goblins, or even undead monsters...all in a day’s work for the world’s laziest top-ranked explorer!
Meanwhile, the publication date for Heaven’s Leaks is drawing closer. While D-Powers counts down the days, they must also confront problems regarding their stat-measuring device. How will the world react to telepathy and the quantification of human abilities? Could these two revelations somehow collide?
Finally, an old friend visits, but she brings news about Altum Foraminis. The healing cult has begun closing in on D-Powers. Regardless, the world’s top explorer, his genius sidekick, and their loyal hellhounds won’t be foiled so easily. Not until they’ve uncovered the secrets of the dungeons and sampled all the best food in Tokyo, at least.
