Plot

In a fantasy world similar to a role-playing game, Ein is a boy who was mistreated and mocked for being assigned the Appraiser job, which is considered weak. One day, his party is surrounded by a pack of monsters, and they abandon him to save themselves. Wounded and unable to escape the dungeon, he jumps off of a cliff, but awakens with his injuries healed underneath a Yggdrasil tree, which is located in an even more dangerous dungeon. Yuri, the Yggdrasil's spirit, quickly grows attached to Ein and has her guardian, Ursula, care for him; they grant him a magical Spirit's Eye, and begin training him in combat so he will be strong enough to return to the surface. After reaching this goal, Ein and Yuri go on a journey so that Yuri can meet her sisters, the other Yggdrasil spirits.
