Core Overlord: Book One
A Kindle Short Read, designed for a fast-paced, high-intensity LitRPG experience.
I died. Respawned as a glowing rock. Now I build dungeons, spawn monsters, and kill heroes. Welcome to my afterlife.
Alex never expected to wake up after getting flattened by a truck—especially not as a floating crystal in a damp, monster-infested cavern. But that's exactly what happens. He’s been reborn as a Dungeon Core: a magical entity charged with creating deadly dungeons, summoning monsters, and defending his heart—or risk deletion from existence.
No body. No weapons. Just mana, stone, sarcasm, and an overworked fairy named Twinkle who thinks he’s an idiot.
Now going by Nightshard, Alex must learn to navigate the rules of his new reality, build out his dungeon, and defend it from greedy adventurers. It’s sink or slay in this magical, gamified afterlife—and he’s got a lot to learn fast.
Build your first room.
Spawn your first goblin.
Kill your first hero.
Don’t die (again).
Featuring a witty protagonist, a sharp-tongued fairy companion, and an ever-growing dungeon filled with traps, monsters, and mystery, Dungeonheart Awakening delivers fast-paced LitRPG action, dark humor, and deadly fun. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Benoit the Anomaly, and Reborn as a Dungeon Core.

The dungeon has leveled up. The adventurers have too. Now the real game begins. Nightshard, a newly awakened Dungeon Core, survived his first raid with a golem made of desperation and stone. But survival was just the start. Now, with mana surging and territory expanding, he’s evolving. Smarter traps. Deadlier combos. Ruthless strategy. With help from Twinkle—the snarky ex-fairy guide—and Skraag, a trap-obsessed kobold engineer, Nightshard is transforming his lair into a lethal maze of pressure plates, chain reactions, and monster ambushes. But this time, the enemy is different. ...

With Twinkle — his ever-sarcastic hacker sprite — and Clara, a rogue agent with a grudge of her own, Nightshard prepares to rise again. His goal? Rebuild. Evolve. And take the fight to the enemy.

Story
Waking up as a dungeon core wasn’t on Splinter’s to-do list. No body. No memory. Just a sarcastic fairy, a broken interface—and too many skeletons. Trapped beneath the ruins of a failed Bureau experiment, Splinter’s got no monsters, no traps, and barely enough mana to glow. But when a young mage stumbles in with bandits on her tail, Splinter does something no dungeon’s ever done: He chooses to fight. From his first trap to his first minion, Splinter begins to evolve—not as a tool of control, but as a dungeon of free will. One that learns, adapts… and grows. But the Bureau’s ...

Doug Kinney hated his life before the dungeon cracked open under his cubicle. Now? He’s dodging killer copiers, fighting HR golems, and grinding XP in an office hell where survival comes with a stapler — glowing, oversized, and very, very stabby. With his foul-mouthed cyber-raccoon sidekick and a survival instinct fueled by coffee, spite, and pure middle-manager rage, Doug’s ready to smash his way up the corporate ladder — one bloody memo at a time.

To survive the iron grip of the Harmonic Concord, Elara must become life – a beautiful, vibrant plague against their oppressive grey order. As a World-Seed, her only path is to grow. To cultivate a sanctuary of impossible flora: crystalline Seed-Singers that paint the desolation with color, explosive Pollen Puffers that disable enemy tech, and sentient Guardian Vines that hunt and ensnare.

They found ruins. Now they must build a future — or die trying. When Edwin and his weary band of survivors stumble upon the abandoned village of Greenreach, they uncover more than just ash and rubble. Signs of a brutal goblin raid mark the land — but so does the opportunity to start again. Armed with a mysterious Stronghold Stone and guided by a game-like System interface only he can see, Edwin has one shot to turn these ruins into a stronghold. But the village still hides secrets... and possibly traps left by those who came before. Goblins. Tragedy. A defiled shrine.

Alec is one of the first pulled in. No briefing. No explanation. Just glyphs in his vision, hostile anomalies in the woods, and a new interface in his head tracking stats, levels... and damage taken.

Adrian was on his way to work when he was summoned to another world. A world of magic and monsters, where he finds himself more alive than he has ever been on Earth. But also, where death awaits him in any corner, and he must become stronger. But at first, before he can even fight, he has to run, because he is too weak to win a battle against even the weakest monster. And that is why he invests all of his Essence Points into his Agility. Which eventually gives him the potential to overcome almost all his enemies— with the small caveat that he does not get hit, of course. His immense speed...

Being a hybrid dungeon core is complicated. Sarah’s being hunted by a kingdom, courted by a lich lord, interrogated by a magical library—and invited to far too many bureaucratic meetings. The kingdom wants her essence for an ancient apocalyptic ritual. The undead sorcerer wants her as the key to godhood. Sarah? She just wants five minutes without magical paperwork, assassination attempts disguised as tax audits, or armies trying to storm her defenses.
