Three months have passed since Nachtlibelle slayed the boss of Level Ninety-Eight, thanks in no small part to Wim Strauss, their newest member. With the boss slain, Nachtlibelle continues to explore the hidden areas of the labyrinth. However, as they return home from their latest victory, Wim detects an overwhelming number of dirty traps, snares set by abenteurers for other abenteurers. While navigating through these devious traps on Level Ninety-Nine, Wim gets separated from his party. Fortunately, he encounters another group of like-minded abenteurers. Are they the key to his survival, or the next stage of an elaborate plan to capture him?

Wim Strauss isn’t a flashy fighter - he’s a granting caster, a support mage who boosts his allies’ strength in battle. His magic keeps the party alive. But when his quiet power starts to overshadow the wrong person, the team’s prideful leader has him unceremoniously kicked out. Enter his slightly clingy childhood friend Heidemarie, now a member of Nachtlibelle, a renowned A-rank guild counted among the strongest in the land. She offers Wim a chance to join her team - a fresh start among allies who actually value his skills. His magic may not dazzle, but with the right party behind him, he just might prove that the back line was never where he truly belonged.
