The Dungeon of Black Company Vol. 02
GO BIG OR GO HOME
Kinji’s got the worst luck in the universe. Right after he hit the big time on Earth, he got transported to another world. Forced to toil for corporate overlords in the depths of a perilous dungeon, there’s no scheme he won’t try to strike it rich. After a ‘promotion’ to the most dangerous unit in the company, Kinji reluctantly teams up with Shia, a bona fide Hero and a true believer in the company cause. With the help of a hero, a lizardman, and a hungry dragon, he just might be able to survive long enough to make his fortune!
Series Overview: Kinji had it made–a swank apartment, a real estate empire, and enough cash to lounge around living the good life. After a freak magical accident, he washes up in another world, all but enslaved to a crooked corporation.
In a fantastical land where money is everything, there’s only one way for an Earthling to get ahead: make your fortune, by any means necessary! Dragons, goblins, and the occasional dubious potion won’t stop Kinji’s quest for the world’s biggest bank account. The Black Company is open for business!
