The Invincible Summoner Who Crawled Up from Level 1: Wrecking Reincarnators with My Hidden Dungeon

It couldn’t get any worse for Shinobu Iijima. After a terrible house fire consumes his life and puts his sister, Megumi, on her deathbed, Shinobu wakes up in his favorite MMO: La Vita Online. With all his data deleted and reset back to level 1, the only solace Shinobu has is that his scumbag of a foster father, Ayumu, died with him…only to discover he was reincarnated in the game as well?! A nightmare reborn, Ayumu pledges to get revenge on the siblings, biding his time until Megumi eventually dies and reincarnates in La Vita. While Megumi struggles through her last breaths in the real world, Shinobu does his best to grind his way back up the levels before her reincarnation. Armed with a hidden dungeon, his hard-earned legendary summons, and an undefeatable will, Shinobu must reach the max level in order to protect his sister from their foster father and the other reincarnators threatening to stop him at all costs.

After gaining more information about the reincarnators that control La Vita’s world from the shadows, Shinobu and his new apprentice Alice find themselves at the mercy of the Crimson Moon Brigade—a major guild also operated by reincarnators. Things look grim as level 83 Shinobu comes face-to-face with a full party of level 99ers—with orders to dispose of him on sight! However, instead of being instantly killed, he is shown a picture of his sister Megumi, taken in real time at a hospital in their home world. When he presses for more information, he learns about the mysterious Logout Tickets and all the trouble they caused the other reincarnators while he was in the tutorial.

Shinobu receives a photo of a girl who highly resembles his sister, Megumi. The girl is allegedly a young genius mage who developed her own rune system—which the players of the world can’t see as anything other than Japanese characters. Vowing to follow any lead he can, Shinobu begins to search for the mysterious girl, who is said to be in hiding. He and his followers make their way to Abrasil, the home of his foster father Imabayashi’s guild, the Lions of Patriotism. There, they plot to track down the guild’s illegal activities in order to contact them in a race against time to track down the young girl before the Imabayashi does.

After the death of Shinobu’s archnemesis—his foster father—Shinobu’s long lost sister Megumi vanishes in his arms once again, leaving Shinobu desolate. When Kaori offers him her love to support him, he accepts, causing his summons to be laden with shock. One person takes it harder than the rest, however—Shinobu’s young apprentice, Alice, who has to come to terms with her own feelings. At the same time, an announcement that throws the world into disarray: La Vita Online is entering its final phase! The Agartha event is on its way, and the players now have a final deadline to tackle the Agartha dungeon and beat the game. Shinobu and his comrades have to take matters into their own hands to clean up rogue factors and tie up loose ends before they take the final leap into Agartha.
