Joseph has always lived half-asleep, blurring reality with dream. When the world shifts into a dungeon of stone, monsters, and strangers, he doesn’t panic—he accepts it. While others cling to rules and roles, he treats survival like exploration: tinkering, testing, finding out what breaks and what holds.
His methods are unorthodox—scavenging, traps, experiments with weapons and magic—yet they carry him further than anyone expects. To him, it’s not glory or heroism, just something to enjoy before he “wakes up.”
But the future is uncertain, as ‘Han’ a man burdened by the memories of his previous life's failure, is hell bent on changing the future for the better. What does his encounter with Joseph really mean and can they help each other while chasing different destinies. What’s the dream and what’s reality, or are they so close they are the same?
Thank you for clicking on Magical Spirit Archer. This story is written for the MAL x Honeyfeed 2025 contest and is planned as a long-form series. Volume 1 (the part submitted here) concludes with the end of a major arc, providing a full standalone arc/story while leaving room for future volumes. My goal was to capture the mix of strategy, character growth, and survival pressure that drew me to isekai stories in the first place. I hope you enjoy the journey, and I’d love to hear your thoughts along the way.
