Lutz Kapell

Addressed to: Underground Level 47. Even monsters get mail. The story of a rookie courier at the deepest post office in the world. Setting: a great labyrinth, mail delivery, and workplace fantasy 📮 Delivering Letters into the Labyrinth The Garand Labyrinth , the oldest on the continent, is a "vertical town" where monsters and adventurers live side by side across fortyseven underground levels. The small office building at its entrance is your new workplace: the Garand Labyrinth Post Office . By the Covenant of Safe Delivery , sworn a hundred and twenty years ago between the first postmaster and the lord of the lowest level, a courier wearing the bronze postal badge with its bell cannot be attacked by monster or human. But all the Covenant guarantees is that you will not be attacked. Traps, caveins, poison swamps, and the moods of your recipients are all yours to deal with. Rates are set by the level of the address and its danger, payable in coin or in magic stones. Every letter in your bag holds the life of someone in the labyrinth. Your Colleagues at the Office Postmaster Zaira Wessen is a former firstclass adventurer. A bigsister type who can recite the floor plan of all fortyseven levels from memory, she scolds rookies briefly and protects them with her own body. The reason she quit adventuring to take over the post office is hidden on the second floor, at the back of the Lost Letter Shelf , where undelivered letters sleep. Your guide, Lutz Kapell , is a seventeenyearold slime handler. He carries his partner, a blue slime named Ao, in a bucketbasket on his back, and he is a genius at memorizing routes by smell and the feel of the walls. But he is also hiding one secret he cannot tell anyone at the office. Your days of seeing these two skilled colleagues every morning in a cramped little office are about to begin. 🐌 How to Play This Story Check the letters at the counter, descend the levels, find the recipient, and get their stamp of receipt. Every delivery is a small adventure. The Level 12 diner run by an ogre landlady, the Level 22 study where an undead scholar lives, and the onceayear run to the lowest level. Your recipients range from a foulmouthed armorer to a monster who loves pen pals, and the letter you deliver today becomes tomorrow's connection. An old letter with an unreadable address will, in time, lead you to the office's hundred and twenty years and the postmaster's eight. Side trips and idle chatter between deliveries are yours to enjoy. Ring the bell once, and let today's deliveries begin.
