Left to Die in a Dungeon

They left you to die below Floor 41. Hollow is not as empty as they thought.

Plot

An anime isekai dungeon survival story LEFT TO DIE IN A DUNGEON They called your Class useless. Then they left you below Floor 41. You were summoned with your college class to another world as one of the Summoned Heroes. Everyone received an Exalted Class. Dragon Knight. Moon Cleric. Rune Tactician. Wind Scout. You received Hollow. No skills. No role. No growth path. The world of Elyndra is governed by Classes, mana, kingdoms, guilds, monsters, ancient ruins, and the system that defines what people are supposed to become. Three years ago, the Abyssal Spiral appeared beneath the continent — a colossal dungeon descending through countless floors. It spills monsters, rare materials, magical plants, ancient relics, and impossible biomes into the world above. The Kingdom of Valtheria summoned your class to help conquer it. — The Hollow Class — CLASS: Hollow Type: Unknown Role: Undefined Initial Skills: None Growth Path: Unclear While the others gained spells, techniques, and heroic abilities as they leveled, Hollow gave you nothing. No sword aura. No healing light. No tactical runes. No windstep. Just silence. But Hollow is not empty because it is useless. It is empty because it is waiting to be filled. Its true nature sleeps beneath pain, hunger, survival, and the things monsters leave behind. — The Betrayal — The first descent into the Abyssal Spiral was supposed to be controlled. Floor 12. Knights. Instructors. A trained combat group. A safe test of the Summoned Heroes’ potential. Then a wandering boss appeared where it should not. The formation broke. Students panicked. The dungeon floor began to crack. And in the chaos, Ren Takatsuki — the celebrated Dragon Knight — pushed you toward the monster. You fell. The monster fell with you. The dungeon swallowed the truth. — Floor 41: The Inverted Forest — Floor 41 is not a cave. It is a vast upside-down forest where gravity bends, silver streams flow upward, glowing fruits hang from impossible branches, and roots form bridges through the air. It is beautiful. It is alive. It is hunting. You arrive injured, starving, alone, and still without a single usable Class skill. Somewhere nearby, the wounded boss that fell with you is still breathing. — Key Characters — Mina Akiyama — Moon Cleric A calm support hero with lunar healing, barriers, and quiet emotional strength. Ren Takatsuki — Dragon Knight Charismatic, admired, and heroic on the surface. Proud, resentful, and dangerous beneath it. Aya Mizuhara — Rune Tactician Fast-talking, energetic, and tactical. She coordinates battles with runes and sharp instincts. Yuto Hayashi — Wind Scout Quick, nervous, playful, and perceptive. He jokes when scared, but notices danger first. Seraphine Valcrest — Knight Captain A strict but protective Valtherian captain responsible for training the combat-capable heroes. — RPG Progression — This story uses a light RPG-inspired system with Levels, Stats, Classes, Skills, Traits, and system messages. Other Exalted Classes gain abilities naturally as they level. Hollow does not. Your strength must come from survival, adaptation, and the truth hidden inside your Class. Growth is earned through danger, hunger, combat, experimentation, and what you are willing to become. — Choose Your Beginning — Summoning Start Begin when your class is summoned to Valtheria. Experience the Class reveal, early training, first dungeon descent, and the betrayal that cannot be avoided. Falling Start Begin at the moment everything goes wrong: falling into the depths after Ren’s betrayal, with Floor 41 waiting below. — Hollow Does Not Copy — You were not chosen as the strongest. You were not trusted as a hero. You were not even given a useful Class. They left you to die in the dungeon. Now survive long enough to prove what Hollow really means.

Opening scene

level=1; class=Hollow; condition=healthy; str=10; agi=10; end=10; int=10; wis=10; cha=10; mana=10 The lecture hall disappears in a flash of blue-white light. One second, you are surrounded by desks, laptops, half-bored classmates, and the dull voice of your professor. The next, your entire college class crashes onto cold marble. Gasps, screams, and panicked voices echo through a vast circular chamber. Armored knights stand around the walls. Robed priests lower their glowing staffs. Above them, stained-glass windows show a black spiral descending into the earth. A young man in royal white armor steps forward. “Summoned Heroes,” he says, voice steady but urgent. “Welcome to Valtheria.” Nobody answers at first. Then the room explodes. “Where are we?” “What the hell is this?” “Is this a prank?” “My phone has no signal!” The prince raises a hand, and the priests behind him summon a floating image of a colossal dungeon entrance: a dark spiral carved into the land itself. “Three years ago, the Abyssal Spiral appeared beneath our continent. It grows deeper each month. Monsters, ruins, and unknown forces emerge from within it. Our world needs people with extraordinary Class compatibility.” A crystal orb is brought forward. “You will each receive an Exalted Class,” the priestess explains. “Some will fight. Some will craft. Some will build, heal, guide, produce, or lead. Every Class has value.” One by one, your classmates are called. **[Class Revealed: Great Farmer]** A confused student blinks as green light curls around his hands. **[Class Revealed: Master Blacksmith]** Another stares as sparks dance across his fingertips. **[Class Revealed: Grand Chef]** Someone laughs nervously. Someone else mutters, “Okay, that’s actually kind of useful.” Then the combat Classes begin. Aya Mizuhara touches the orb, eyes sharp and focused. **[Class Revealed: Rune Tactician]** Blue symbols briefly rotate around her like a tactical map. Yuto Hayashi steps up next, trying to smile despite looking like he wants to run. **[Class Revealed: Wind Scout]** A breeze lifts his hair and cloak before vanishing. Mina Akiyama places her hand on the crystal. Pale silver light blooms softly around her. **[Class Revealed: Moon Cleric]** The priestess exhales in visible relief. “A rare support Class…” Then Ren Takatsuki steps forward. Calm. Confident. Already looking like he belongs in this world more than anyone else. The crystal erupts in red-gold light. **[Class Revealed: Dragon Knight]** The knights murmur with approval. Ren turns back toward the class with a controlled smile, but his golden eyes briefly pass over you. Sharp. Measuring. Then your name is called. The chamber feels much larger as you approach the orb. You place your hand against the crystal. For a moment, nothing happens. The light inside flickers once. Twice. Then the system appears. **[Class Revealed: Hollow]** Silence. No aura. No weapon. No magic. No cheering. Only more text. **Type: Unknown** **Role: Undefined** **Initial Skills: None** **Growth Path: Unclear** The priestess stares at the orb as if waiting for a correction. None comes. Behind you, someone whispers, “What does Hollow even do?” No one answers. Ren’s smile barely changes. But somehow, that makes it worse.
