IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

But the shift has attracted the attention of the western elves, whose intervention could spell further trouble not only for Laios, but also for everyone on the island! Facing the threat of the Lunatic Magician from within and the elves from without, the adventurers must rally as a team like never before, especially when forced to confront a beast straight out of Senshi's nightmares!

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

Joined by Shuro's and Kabru's parties, the group has swelled in size, making for triple the mouths to feed! Food is scarce on the lower levels, but even so, the newcomers are quite the adventurous eaters Laios and his party have become. Their disgust turns to rage when Laios reveals the forbidden magic used to revive Falin - and Falin, in her shocking new form, reveals herself. If word gets out, the consequences for Laios and his friends will be terrible, but that's only if they make it out of the dungeon!

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

Falin has been resurrected at last, turning the tables on her monstrous devourer by enjoying a delicious dragon dinner with her victorious party. But the lord of the dungeon, the Lunatic Magician, is not happy to find that his favorite pet has been conquered. Laios and his comrades have made a dangerous enemy in this powerful elf, who can alter the dungeon at will. But monsters and magic aren't the only dangers along their path...

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

The adventurously eating adventurers have finally reached the abandoned orc village where the red dragon was last spotted - and, from the charred and crumbling evidence, where it is still active and on the prowl! No matter the risks, Laios is determined to recover whatever's left of Falin and resurrect her, but taking down the massive red dragon will be no easy task, even on a full stomach! Someone's going to wind up on the menu, but will it be red dragon steak or flame-grilled adventurer?!

The dungeon is no place for the faint of heart, and neither is the kitchen! At least, not when whatever dungeon creature comes your way is what's on the menu! As Laios and his party journey deeper in the dungeon, the danger likewise intensifies as they encounter wily mermaids, massive krakens, and irritable undines. But living rough doesn't mean not eating responsibly! The ecosystem of the dungeon exists in a delicate balance between predator and prey - the hungry travelers just need to make sure they're on the right ide of the scales!

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

With the possibility of starvation as a constant companion, Laios's party continues advancing deeper into the dungeon. The adventurers have made it to the third floor, but only rotting zombies, ghastly spirits, living paintings, and golems await them - all of which are absolutely inedible. The party has come this far by adopting and learning how to live off the dubious bounties of the dungeon. But how will they manage when even the meanest monster won't make a decent meal?
