Ever wondered how all those treasure chests seemingly appear in dungeons frequented by adventurers? See how one elf ensures every dungeon has its loot in this fantasy adventure manga!

Whenever adventurers enter a dungeon, they’re sure to find two things: monsters and treasure chests. The monsters make sense, but…how do the treasure chests get there? And why do they happen to have the exact items needed by adventurers? Is there some magical elf who puts them there?

Yes, in fact!

Meet Snail, a dedicated and mysterious elf who braves treacherous peaks, deep caverns, and fearsome monsters in order to conveniently place treasure chests for adventurers to find on their journeys. But what is Snail’s purpose? Is she an altruistic do-gooder, a chaotic ne’er-do-well, or something else entirely? Follow her to the ends of the earth and find out!
