"Awaken"

Such he was told, and when he opened his eyes, before him was the unknown world of Grimgar.

In order to survive, Haruhiro and the others end up adventuring day after day as reserve Force Trainee Soldiers. They lose their leader Manato, while Mary joins them soon after. They gain little more experience and become full-fledged Crimson Moon members.

The adventure, however, doesn't end there.
