Dungeonheart Awakening
Book One of the Core Overlord Series
I died. Respawned as a glowing rock. Now I build dungeons and kill adventurers. Welcome to my afterlife.
When gamer and professional procrastinator Alex dies, he doesn’t expect to wake up again — especially not as a crystal hovering in a dank cave.
But fate has other plans. He's been reborn as a Dungeon Core, a magical entity that powers and protects a living dungeon. No body, no weapons — just mana, stone, and an attitude problem. Oh, and a sarcastic fairy named Twinkle who thinks he’s an idiot.
With monsters to summon, traps to build, and loot to bait greedy intruders, Alex — now Nightshard — must turn his tiny cave into a deadly labyrinth or risk permanent deletion.
Build your first room.
Spawn your first goblin.
Kill your first hero.
Don’t die (again).
Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Benoit the Anomaly, and Reborn as a Dungeon Core, Dungeonheart Awakening is a fast-paced, darkly funny LitRPG full of base-building, sarcastic banter, and brutal fun.

Story
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. ...

Death by cat and computer wasn't on Sarah's to-do list. Neither was becoming a sentient crystal with a magical debt collector. Software developer Sarah was having a normal, caffeine-fueled day until she tripped over her cat, fell down the stairs, and woke up as an immobile dungeon core in a fantasy world. No body, no coffee, and definitely no customer service number to call about this cosmic mistake. Now she's stuck in a cave with: An immortal fairy guide named Glitz whose idea of "helpful" involves rainbow glitter and passive-aggressive system notifications A tribe of goblins with ...

Story
She awoke as a silent scream, a nascent core consciousness buried in a dying, sterile world. 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. Each new bloom is a living tower, each expansion of her dungeon domain a defiant cry against the encroaching ...

Story
The Core Trial Book Five of the Core Overlord Series I broke the rules. Bound a soul. Triggered the Bureau. Now they want to delete me. Again. I’m Nightshard — former gamer, current Dungeon Core, and possibly the biggest arcane violation on record. A few months ago, I was a glowing rock just trying to survive. Now I’ve got sentience, strategy, and a fairy sidekick who knows far too much about Bureau execution protocols. When a Bureau Observer arrives to sniff out “anomalies,” I do the sensible thing: fake being dumb. No talking walls. No smart traps. Definitely no illegally-bound ...

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 ...

After a brutal purge by the Bureau, the once-mighty dungeon core is driven underground, his lair in ruins, his minions scattered, and his power shattered. But dungeons don’t die quietly. 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.

Corebound Book Four of the Core Overlord Series I leveled up. Unlocked a forbidden power. Now the dungeon itself obeys my will. After crushing another wave of adventurers, Nightshard reaches Dungeon Level 4—and with it, a power long thought erased from the system: Corebinding. The ability to reshape terrain in real-time. No more slow digging. No more waiting. With a thought, walls shift, tunnels vanish, traps rebuild themselves mid-fight. It’s not just evolution. It’s revolution. But with forbidden upgrades come Bureau eyes. Twinkle is panicking, adventurers are collapsing tunnels, ...

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.

Story
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...

Edwin Salamand has lived on a farm his whole life. The problem? He's not very good at farming, or anything involving the outdoors, for that matter. When his salamander farm goes belly up, he decides to move to a nearby city. A deal too good to be true goes awry, and he ends up with a dusty old bookshop filled to the brim with unassuming level one skill tomes. Pamphlets, really. It's not the most exciting windfall, but it's a path to an honest life, one that Edwin is confident he can handle. Because running a bookshop for beginners has got to be safe and simple, right? It turns out Edwin's ...
