Synopsis of Dungeon Meshi
After the Golden Kingdom is sunk underground by a demented mage, its king emerges, promising all his treasure to whoever defeats the mage, before crumbling. 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, encounters a dragon that annihilates his group and devours his sister Falin. Despite having lost all of their supplies and belongings, Laios, along with Marcille, an elven 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 the monsters in the dungeon as a means of gathering supplies. When 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. After learning of Laios' circumstances, Senshi expresses his desire to cook a dragon and joins his guild, thus beginning their raid together into the dungeon full of food.
