Yen Press has licensed both the light novel series and Masaki Kawakami's manga adaptation, and it describes the story:
Veteran adventurer Nick's life is falling apart. Despite all the knowledge and expertise he's devoted to his adventuring party, his respected leader kicked him out, his girlfriend dumped him, and his teammates shamelessly accused him of embezzlement. Tired, heartbroken, and looking for a drink, Nick chances upon a few kindred spirits who are jaded as he is. Together, these disillusioned adventurers form an unstoppable team out to save their bleak, depressing world!
Fuji launched the light novel series on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in January 2019, and the last update was in September 2020. Kadokawa's MF Books imprint began publishing the novels in print in September 2019, and released the third volume in August 2021. Kawakami launched the ongoing manga adaptation in September 2019.
