Sousei no Apocrypha

In the quiet town of Elwood, nestled on the edge of the Great Dungeon of Dagonalia, Arc and Lily live unassuming lives as guild receptionists. Their days unfold in peaceful routine, seemingly far removed from the dangers stirring in the world around them—until an unexpected menace shatters the calm. A mysterious threat known as the Goblin Queen launches an attack, and in response, knights are dispatched to confront her. Yet all of the knights sent to stop her vanish without a trace. With its protectors gone and the danger pressing ever closer, Elwood is plunged into chaos, and the peace its people once took for granted begins to crumble. As the shadows gather, Arc faces a decision he can no longer avoid: whether to take up his sword once more and fight. But the battle ahead may require more than steel and strength alone, for Lily harbors feelings she has never revealed—and as the crisis deepens, Arc must uncover the truth behind what she has hidden in her heart.
