Meshi Dungeon Synopsis

After the Golden Kingdom is driven underground by a mad wizard, its king emerges, promising all of its treasure to whoever defeats the wizard before it collapses. The guilds are encouraged by this promise and traverse the labyrinthine dungeon in search of the wizard. Laios, the leader of one such guild, encounters a dragon that annihilates his group and devours his sister Falin. Despite having lost all of his 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 dungeon monsters as a means of gathering supplies. As they prepare their first meal in the dungeon, a dwarf named Senshi stops them. An enthusiast of monster cuisine, he helps them prepare their monstrous ingredients for safe consumption. After learning of Laios's circumstances, Senshi expresses his desire to cook a dragon and joins his guild, thus beginning their foray together into the food-filled dungeon.
