Dungeon of Knowledge [Raid combat litRPG]

★ 4.56

timewalk

Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells, pushing the boundaries of mana's infinite possibilities. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear until that fateful day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal’mohra, and triggered The Breaking – a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world.

Saved by her mother’s legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew and loved is gone, buried under a mountain, transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich.

Now, Ali must confront her deepest fears, mastering the arts of battling monsters and braving a town riddled with corruption. As the Lich's grand design shadows her every move, she scrambles to forge new friendships and unearth ancient knowledge in her fight for survival.

Why must she struggle? All she had ever wanted was to curl up in a comfy chair with a few thousand good books. But the immortal Lich is drawn to her unique magic, ever hungry for more power to fuel his cold-hearted ambitions.

How will she survive the giant target painted on her back as her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to save herself? Will she falter, forced into the eternal servitude of undeath, or will she rise against all odds and cast him down, ridding the world of his evil?

Release Schedule: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday.

Patreon has +50 additional chapters.

What to expect:

- LitRPG elements cover classes, skills, monsters, enchantments, and items. Stat blocks appearing at the end of chapters are generally considered informational and can be skipped if desired.
- Multiple POVs as we follow Ali and her friends on their adventures.
- Heavy focus on Group and Raid dungeon combat inspired by games like WoW, PoE, and Diablo.
- Some profanity, lots of gore, a touch of humor
- No romance.
- This is not a traditional dungeon core story with a fixed consciousness plotting levels in a hole.

Dragonheart Core

★ 4.61

Atenburgh

To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death.

The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes, curled on his silver throne; but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises, screaming, and chases the thief to the ends of the world—only to be shot from the sky.

But dragons do not die easy, and never one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse.

If he intends to survive so near the cove of pirates that slew his past self, he'll need to master his powers—and quickly. For these pirates are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders.

Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core will have to fight to survive; and one day, he will return death to the man who killed him.

Updates on Fridays at 8 pm EST!

The Dramatic Dungeon – A Dungeon Core Story

★ 4.61

Fatomir

In a world where Elves and Goblins are real, where Wizards and Witches cast terrible and powerful magic, where [Lvl. 100 Hero]s lead parties to fight one great and menacing evil or another, Dungeons are essential.

Those places of challenge, of exploration, of hardships and triumphs, are where stories are written, loot acquired, legends born and bonds of eternal friendship forged.

And I... am a Dungeon.

So, come one, come all, to the "Stage of Forgotten Fables", and let me, the Playwright, show you a story, like none you have experienced before.

The stage is set, after all, for a dramatic Dungeon Delve!

This Story is a Dungeon Core Story, delivered from the perspective of said Dungeon Core, "The Playwright". The LitRPG elements of Levels and Skills, Classes and XP are all there, but there are no "Stats" or "HP" (at least they are not measured or displayed) and there are no numbers to crunch (other than Level or Skill level, but those don't crunch so good). It is fairly slow burn as well.

I aim to shift the perspective quite a bit, to show the characters growth from multiple POVs, but I am a novice writer and this is my first story, so don't expect anything fancy.

Update Schedule: 1 Chapter per Week, usually Saturday or Sunday around 17:00/18:00 CET respectively

I have been made aware of an amazon seller using my name to sell a pirated version of this book, albeit the title is changed. I have reached out to amazon about taking it down.

RE: Deity – The Breath of Creation – [Stubbed]

★ 4.75

Infamous Goose

Book 1 Available on Amazon!

Book 1 Stubbed November 19th
Synopsis:
Sometimes the multiverse needs expanding. That's where I come in. Unfortunately being a deity isn't all fun and games, as there are always things working against you. Not even the Overgod of the Multiverse can change that.

Longer Summary:
Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, and were given a grace period in which they could expand their domains in relative safety. Once that period is up, however, the created universes will be able to interact with each other and other universes...as well as be at the mercy of the Void. I am one of those souls, and it's not easy. Between trying to raise up gods to defend my realm with, guiding mortals, accidentally making a xianxia world, and dealing with my own children, I have my work cut out for me. Now I know why back on Earth gods worked in mysterious, invisible ways. There's just too much to be done.

What to expect: Worldbuilding in the most literal sense, lots of POV's, Xianxia elements, and more. The LitRPG elements are very light, be warned if you're coming in for that.

This is a rewrite of an old story. It's been about six years since I dropped the previous, and having grown as an author and person, I decided to revisit the concept. The old one will be left up, for anyone who wants to revisit it or look at it from a legacy standpoint.

Updates will be twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.

The Obsidian Core

★ 4.59

DustHurricane

The world is a wide, wide place. And that's without taking into account the many creatures that inhabit it. When a new Dungeon Core is born deep below the surface, it faces challenge after challenge. The only question is; is it up to the challenge of living in this world?

This is my first attempt at writing a Dungeon Core story. I'll gladly take any and all advice, comments, or criticism.

Releases on whatever day I can muster the ability to write. Which tends to be inconsistent.

Born Different [Monster Evolution LitRPG]

★ 4.58

Vnator

[Will be taking a month long hiatus to help me get up to speed with my new job, and pursue other fun things. Thanks for understanding, and see you all soon!]

In the dark caverns of a secluded dungeon, Click the spider is born with the impossibly rare gift of great Intelligence. Only the strongest of monsters can hope to survive in the savage dungeon, and Click must make the most of their unique abilities to come out on top… or at least alive.

Click can best be described as Lawful-Neutral, but in a way that they see merit in making and benefitting from allies rather than trample everything under them. So not a Hero, but definitely not a mindlessly evil villain.

Viridescent Core

★ 4.57

BlurryDreams

Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance.

However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive.

What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all.

Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one!

Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

FINAL CORE : [A holy dungeon-core litRPG]

★ 4.54

Razzmatazz

STUBBED - THIS STORY IS COMPLETE AND HAS MOVED TO AMAZON + AUDIBLE!

[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]

The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.
