The first episode of "Delicious in Dungeon" begins with a flashback to a small village. Here, a man claims to be the ruler of the long-lost Golden Land. He speaks of a magician who sent the village underground over a millennium ago and promises blessings to whoever defeats this magician. His appearance is brief, as he soon turns to dust.
Transitioning to the present, a group of adventurers led by Laios faces off against a dragon in a fierce battle. Laios reflects on the hardships they’ve encountered, including traps and the loss of their food supplies. During the fight, a dramatic moment occurs when Laios' sister, Falin, is captured by the dragon.
Laios later discovers that Falin used a spell to free everyone from the dungeon, sacrificing herself in the process. Determined to rescue his sister, Laios vows to return to the dungeon.
The group, now lacking members and supplies, plans their return. Laios proposes an unconventional solution: hunting and eating the monsters in the dungeon. With the help of a travel guide, they search for edible monsters, starting with a walking mushroom and a scorpion.
Their culinary attempts are amateurish until Senshi, an experienced monster chef, joins them. He shows them how to properly prepare the scorpion and even saves Marcille from a slime, which they also cook. Impressed by their determination, Senshi decides to join them to help rescue Falin.
On the dungeon’s second floor, a man-eating plant attacks Marcille. Laios intervenes and saves her by targeting the plant’s roots. They harvest the plant’s fruit, and Senshi turns it into a pie, which the group enjoys.
The episode ends with the group finding a corpse near the man-eating plants. They tie it up, hoping someone will take it to the surface, concluding a difficult yet ultimately hopeful day in their quest.
