In the uncharted depths of the dungeon lies a corpse that should not exist. Having been resurrected, Iarumas remembers nothing of his life before death. He now spends his days venturing into the dungeon to retrieve the bodies of fallen adventurers. Can they be brought back like he was? Or will God turn them to ash upon the altar? Regardless, Iarumas collects his payment for each find. His skills earn him a certain reluctant respect, but his cold, pragmatic demeanor also draws scorn. The living avoid him—he keeps company mainly with the dead. That changes when he meets Garbage, a feral young swordswoman who is the sole survivor of a slaughtered party. With Garbage alongside him, Iarumas delves ever deeper into the dungeon, searching for hints about his past while dodging monsters, traps, and the ever-present threat of permanent ashen death.
