Debt Crystal Adventure

Lighthearted and Funny—Until the Story Goes Deeper

The early story is full of light humor, sarcastic banter, and the absurd life of an adventurer.

As it progresses, the characters’ pasts, the world’s rules, and the true motives of each faction gradually come to light.

Looking back, many ordinary moments take on an entirely different meaning.

“They” Are Watching You

Fear makes people stronger—and gives them an overwhelming will.

But even the purest desires are being watched.

When your will peaks, “they” offer help… and a contract.

Your wish comes true. In return, you inherit a debt.

They warn you: don’t get greedy, or the debt will spiral out of control.

Meow Meow, the debt-ridden catgirl, signed hers out of fear of poverty.

Even with the power of the crystal, she still has to work odd jobs just to get by...

Are the Rules Beyond Question—or Are They Chains?

“Will and Cost” is the law of this world.

No matter how justified your reason, stronger will means greater debt.

Yet Debt Crystals hold enough power to rewrite the rules—tempting enough for people to willingly put on the chains.

Another debt-ridden foxgirl, Awo Awo, chose to carry those chains when she had nowhere else to turn.

A Story That Unfolds One Step at a Time

There is no sudden call to save the world.

You gradually piece together its true nature through adventures and quests.

You don’t need to save the world. Leave that headache to the hero.

After all, the debt is way too big…

You can't even afford the shop fees anymore.

Main Characters

• Cat Beastfolk — Meow Meow

Fearing poverty, Meow Meow borrowed money from a Debt Crystal to invest, only to find herself buried in an overwhelming mountain of debt.

With nowhere else to turn, she joined the Adventurers' Guild. But during one of her quests, she stumbled upon a mysterious snow mountain.

After discovering that the crystal deposits hidden within might attract monsters, Meow Meow found herself drawn into a world-spanning mystery, facing countless challenges alongside her fellow guild members.

• Fox Beastfolk — Awo Awo

To protect her fellow foxes from poachers, Awo Awo made a pact with a Debt Crystal.

The contract granted her the ability to take human form, along with formidable combat prowess.

But her fear of losing those she cherished once again gradually turned her determination to grow stronger into a shackle of its own.

Eventually, she set out on a solitary journey, determined to change the very rules of the world through her own efforts.

• The Guild's Strongest Fighter — Ellen

The granddaughter of a former member of the Royal Guard, Ellen underwent rigorous military training from a young age and possesses an extraordinary talent for swordsmanship.

Her signature technique, "Thousand Army Breaker," has made her virtually unbeatable among the Adventurers' Guild.

Yet, the source of her incredible power turns out to be a contract with a Debt Crystal.

Born in an era where heroes no longer exist, Ellen must redefine the childhood dream of becoming a "hero" and discover what that ideal truly means to her.
