The novel first volume’s synopsis:

That day, Nick, a member of a party of adventurers who had fought in many battles, was banished by the leader, whom he had looked up to like a father. Although he had been supporting his fellow adventurers with his money and knowledge, he was accused of embezzlement. Nick has been dumped by his girlfriend and has fallen into a state of despondency, but by chance, he hits it off with a former noblewoman, an excommunicated priestess, and a female dragon warrior who happen to be sitting with him at a tavern. The three are also adventurers who have been betrayed by someone and can no longer trust anyone! Nick and the three think that they can work together because they can’t trust anyone, so they form an adventuring party to survive. “So, how about we call ourselves ‘Survivors?'” An adventure story about a group of adventurers who distrust humanity, but come together as the strongest party in the world!
