Ein is employed as a supporter by the adventurers Zoid and Jolene who treat him terribly and call him “trash picker”. In this world people are granted Jobs by the Goddess of Light and Skills by the Goddess of Darkness ranked as either Low Common, High Common or Rare. Ein has the job Appraiser and his skill is Low Common, so the High Common adventurers Zoid and Jolene see no issue casually abusing him. In the labyrinth they find a valuable dead Hellhound which Ein harvests, but as they find more dead Hellhounds Ein starts to worry what killed them. Zoid and Jolene are blinded by greed until they end up surrounded by the stronger Hellhound pack that killed the others. Caring only about themselves they sacrifice Ein. With no choice except be eaten or commit suicide Ein jumps from a nearby cliff, regretting that he never accomplished anything. He awakens uninjured among the roots of a World Tree, legendary sources of mana that disappeared centuries ago. Unseen, a young woman watches him leave to explore the area. Immediately he encounters S rank monsters that begin tearing him apart, until a mysterious person saves him. Awakening back at the tree with his injuries healed Ein meets the young woman.

Ein learns the woman is Yuri, the World Tree Spirit. Ursula, her Guardian and adopted mother, explains they had to replace his damaged eye with part of the World Tree, a Spirit Eye. Yuri has developed a crush on him; of all the adventurers she saved he was the only one who showed gratitude instead of stealing her valuable leaves. As they cannot leave Yuri’s physical tree for long Ursula decides to train Ein until he can escape the labyrinth by himself. Ein learns his Spirit Eye has made Appraisal more powerful and given him new skills. Using Appraisal Ein learns to dodge and attack by anticipating an opponents moves. Ursula gives him a sword made from Yuri’s tree and he defeats multiple S rank monsters. His new eye also lets him learn opponents powers so he gains increased speed and strength. By appraising Ursula he also learns magic and her ability Discard Incantation, which lets him use magic without reciting spells. After a month Ursula lets him get revenge on the monster that took his eye, an S rank Death Bear.
3"Revenge Match"
Transliteration: "Ribenji Matchi" (Japanese: リベンジマッチ)		Kenya UenoYoshikazu TominagaHiroaki YoshikawaSayuri SakimotoJanuary 23, 2025 (2025-01-23)
Ursula upgrades his eye into the Spirit God Eye using Yuri’s spirit core, allowing Yuri to manifest from his eye. She also gifts him an inter-dimensional storage space, a Spirit Katana and a Philosopher’s Stone mentally linking him to Ursula. Yuri reveals her greatest wish is to see her eight sister trees in other labyrinths. Ein defeats the dungeon boss so Ursula uses the Labyrinth Heart to level up his God Eye again. In the city Zoid claims Ein died saving him and Jolene. Ein appears and exposes their lies, ruining their reputation. In the forest Ein saves Jasper, head of the Ginoh Trading Guild, and his guest Princess Claudia from monsters. Claudia falls for Ein so Yuri jealously claims she is Ein’s wife. Claudia decides to become Ein’s second wife one day, to his shock. He is further shocked when Jasper asks to become his husband. Jasper has guessed Ein’s eye is a spirit core and explains the original World Tree exhausted its power sealing Demon Lord Miktoran and left behind only 9 World Tree Cores. Ein refuses his proposal but becomes his friend. Jasper reveals his research has revealed the potential location of other World Trees.
4"Searching for the Sisters"
Transliteration: "Shimai o Sagashite" (Japanese: 姉妹を探して)		Tatsuya SasakiTōko MachidaTatsuya SasakiSayuri SakimotoJanuary 30, 2025 (2025-01-30)
Yuri's sister Pina refuses to see them until they have defeated the dungeon she built herself. Secretly, it is impossible to die in her dungeon as victims are simply teleported outside, so she plans to humiliate Ein in front of Yuri. However, Ein avoids all Pina's traps and defeats her monsters. Zoid learns Jolene blamed him for everything and joined a new party with her reputation intact. To regain his reputation he desperately decides to defeat a monster alone, which coincidentally is in Pina's dungeon. Ein saves him and has him sent outside. Ein confronts the dungeon boss, a giant tortoise. However, he exposes this as an illusion and finds the tortoise is a tiny baby, the offspring of Black Tortoise, one of the Four Holy Beasts of Creation. As it is a baby he convinces Pina exposing the illusion counts as "defeating it." Yuri is thrilled to see Pina again. The baby tortoise transforms into Kurohime, Pina's World Tree Guardian. Kurohime adds Pina's spirit core and her Philosopher Stone to Ein's eye so they can travel with him too, which also levels up his eye again. Ein hopes they can find Yuri's remaining sisters soon. Zoid can't believe he was saved by a "trash-picker" like Ein.
5"Behemoth Subjugation Request"
Transliteration: "Behīmosu Tōbatsu Irai" (Japanese: ベヒーモス討伐依頼)		Ken KiyotaYoshikazu TominagaHiroaki YoshikawaSayuri Sakimoto,
Azuma Tozawa		February 6, 2025 (2025-02-06)
Jasper helps Ein sell his loot, since no one would believe he killed monsters without Jasper's endorsement. This draws attention from Guild Master Meegan. Kurohime explains to Ein that there are actually 9 World Trees, not 8, as the original World Tree that withered still exists somewhere as the eldest sister Echidna. Meegan asks Ein to defeat Behemoth, an SS Class dragon created by Demon Lord Miktoran. Ursula locates Behemoth in the desert. As he is immune to magic Ein is forced to rely only on his sword and non-magic abilities. Having never been defeated Behemoth underestimates Ein as just another human, until Ein blows his skull apart. Having grown bored of living Behemoth accepts his death and congratulates Ein on a splendid victory. Ein finds himself feeling sorry for Behemoth who was created by Miktoran to only be a murderous monster. For his victory Claudia introduces Ein to her father, the King, who recognises Ein's kind heart and is happy for Ein to marry Claudia one day. He also gifts Ein a pocket watch engraved with the Royal Seal, indicating he may go wherever he pleases with the full authority of the royal family. As Ein's fame spreads Zoid's resentment grows. He is suddenly approached by a spirit who offers to help him achieve his desire, and introduces herself as Echidna.
