Takashi Yanobu, whose dream was to create video games, made a life-altering decision just before his 30th birthday. He would quit his job and dedicate himself to game development! But right after mustering this resolve and leaving home, his memory cuts out. The next thing he knows, he’s in a cave.
Beast-men stride around him, busy with some kind of excavation work. He discovers this is a mine producing magic stones used for sorcery. As Yanobu reels from the shock, Kengo, who arrived in this world earlier, teaches him the ropes, ensuring his basic survival seems manageable.
A medieval-style fantasy world. Magic exists, but he can’t use it. In fact, he has no special abilities whatsoever.
He desperately learns the language and how to read and write. Thanks to his skill at mental math, he manages to get work at a merchant guild. But was he really going to live out his life here?

If he couldn’t return, then perhaps he could at least realize it here, even if only in the form of a board game.
But for that, he needed money. And in this world, the quickest way to make a fortune was through trading magic stones.
Though inexperienced, Yanobu begins gathering companions to venture into the magic stone trade. But this isn’t the safe, modern world he knew—it’s an underdeveloped civilization where power is everything—
