Seventh

Disgraced nobleman Lyle Walt has finally started to make a name for himself as an adventurer after leading the charge to defeat a group of bandits plaguing the city of Darion. He's even started to gain the respect of the seven generations of ancestors whose spirits reside inside the pendant he wears around his neck. But learning a few Arts and earning some respect hasn't helped much with his current goal: finding a way to support himself and the growing cast of women in his life. As Lyle forges on, he finds himself tangled in the intricate web of Darion's local politics and fighting to survive the dangers of his first dungeon. He even grows closer to a man he once thought despised him-Basil Walt, the fierce warrior and barbarian tamer who founded his house. But as Lyle's understanding of Basil deepens, he begins to realize that the founder's plans for the future might not align with his own...

Upon arriving in Baym, Lyle's party attempts to promptly complete their registration at the city's Guild, only to find themselves treated no better than rookies. As it turns out, all the experience they had gained traveling around through foreign lands is moot-they'll have to prove themselves all over again before they're allowed to take proper requests, let alone explore a dungeon. Left with nothing else to do, they devote themselves to doing menial labor to steadily gain the mysterious Guild receptionist's trust. However, this task is complicated by a rookie adventurer named Erhart who constantly picks fights with their party. Driven by jealousy, Erhart and his party angrily refuse the tasks offered to them by the Guild receptionist and demand more substantial work instead. They harass the receptionist until she finally agrees to allow their party to participate in a large-scale dungeon raid. But is this a stroke of luck or an omen of disaster...?

Lyle and his party have gained the key to conquering Zayin: the theocracys holy maiden, Thelma. However, Lyle still has a few problems to solve before his party heads off to wage warparticularly their lack of troops. And faced with the costs of funding an entire army, it quickly becomes apparent that theyll need to find a backer. Enter the Trs family, the founders of one of the leading merchant houses in Baym. When Lyle is approached with the opportunity to guard one of their vessels, he seizes the chance to prove himself and gain their support. But Lyles ancestors and his other party members seem to have a different approach in mindnamely, seducing the head of House Trss beloved daughter and the captain of the ship theyve been hired to protect, Vera.
