The gates are down. The hunters are loose.

After surviving the earlier levels of Dungeon Crawler World, Coast Guard vet Carl and Princess Donut face a new kind of danger in the Hunting Grounds.

But the sixth floor brings more than monsters. For the first time, outside tourists are allowed to enter the game, and they are ready to hunt. Among them is Vrah, a famed veteran hunter determined to claim the biggest trophy of her career.

The remaining crawlers are meant to be prey. Carl and Princess Donut have other plans.

Welcome to the sixth floor of the dungeon.
