Synopsis of Let This Grieving Soul Retire!

When dungeon-like treasure vaults began to appear all over the country, more and more people enlisted as treasure hunters, risking their lives to get their hands on the immense riches and ancient relics within. In the imperial capital of Zebrudia, the most important group of hunters is the Banshees: a group of six childhood friends led by Krai Andrey, who is considered the strongest of all due to his wide variety of abilities.

However, Krai doesn't have any special talents. In reality, his achievements are due to his friends being surpassed. Krai has repeatedly tried to leave the group for fear that his lack of skills would one day cause the downfall of his teammates. However, everyone around Krai thinks differently, which makes him feel compelled to remain the leader of the group.
