About this listen
Core Overlord: Book One
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. ...

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 ...

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.

Belissar has always lived a peaceful life, if not a particularly easy one. Though he lost his parents, he was taken in by a kindly villager who taught him his life's calling: beekeeping. But one day the local lord's ruthless son, Ruckanos, comes to their humble village to claim his own tower, slaughtering everyone. Luckily for Belissar, as he lies dying with an arrow in his back, a tiny worker bee decides to interfere, and he wakes up not only alive but a whole new bee-ing.

A hidden construct—ancient, intelligent, and broken—activates around the planet. It calls itself the Obelisk. Its purpose? Unknown. Its power? Absolute. The countdown to full Attunement begins. 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Veos has quickly proved to be far more capable than your average Dungeon Core. In the eyes of his challengers, at least. He's instinctive and motivated, with a drive to craft an intricate story and create obstacles for all those who seek to explore what lies beneath Nerian-Silex. Though Veos is certainly an unusual dungeon, what truly sets him apart is unknown to most—even himself. But now he's stumbled upon intel about the realm's dark history that, if tampered with, could reawaken a horrific enemy.

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...

The strangest thing about Annie's new reality isn't that she's now in the body of a seven-year-old child, the beloved Lillith, feared dead by her family after a particularly nasty bout of pneumonia. It's that she's constantly having to conceal her adult intellect, which is not only advanced but otherworldly. Sure, being a young woman and a grad student in twenty-first-century America had its challenges, but this life as Lillith presents even tougher obstacles. She must tread carefully to conceal her vast knowledge of biology, math, physics, and . . . being an adult.
