Synopsis

He once ruled as a feared dungeon boss.
Now he’s raising a human child.

After abandoning his collapsing dungeon, Zortheus never expected to find an infant alone in the wild, or to become her father. Disguised as a quiet villager, Zora, he gives Lila the peaceful life he never had, burying the monstrous past she must never learn.

But with her growing dream to become an adventurer, the outside world inches closer to the very truth he fights to hide. And as old threats stir again, their quiet life stands on the edge of a secret away from unraveling.

The world remembers him a villain.
She only knows him as Dad.
Two truths that cannot meet… or everything breaks.

Worthy Core

★ 4.7

DaScoot

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet.

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, however I plan on maintaining a 2-chapters-a-week schedule with updates on Tuesdays and Fridays. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

Dungeon of Knowledge

★ 4.8

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?

Dungeon’s Path

★ 4.3

Akhier

The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon.

So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything.
Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls don’t pay much attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story.

-----

Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon.

The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday

Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

A Dungeon’s Survival

★ 5.0

FeathersAndFluff

Connie Aldman's life wasn't good, but it was simple. At one point she had aspired to be someone and do some good in the world. She lost sight of those desires along with her best friend and her legs. Afterward, her life had come to revolve around two things: sleeping her problems away and drowning out her misery and self-loathing with video games.

All of that changed when she was ripped away from that life by a hero summoning ritual. Now, with her only alternative being death, she is forced to do that good she once aspired to do, her only problem being that that, “good,” means killing people to fuel her own growth. That hero summoning ritual was only used to seal a slightly more powerful soul inside of a Dungeon Core, after all.

Will she be able to grow her Dungeon to be one of the strongest in the world in order to save it from its approaching demise, or will the mercenaries hired by greedy alchemists, saboteurs from neighboring countries, shady organizations acting outside of the law, and unhappy higher-ups of the Adventurer's Guild get their way and harvest her Dungeon Core for their own short-sighted gain? Or, maybe that pact she sneakily altered with the Fairy Council will come back to bite her first.

Regardless, armed with her wits and misdirection, the time has come for her to put all that video game knowledge she acquired while distracting herself from the harsh realities of the world to the test, and she might just learn to put the pains of the past behind her as well.

I aim to release a two thousand word chapters every Tuesday and Sunday. I am also posting this story on Royal Road.

I Got Dragged Into SAO and Accidentally Stole Kirito’s Girl

While Kirito plays hero and collects plot armor, I somehow end up... living with Asuna?
No, this isn't a romantic comedy. And no, I'm not trying to steal anyone's girl.
...It just sort of happened.
Probably.

If you are a fan of Kirito x Asuna then this story is not for you, so I recommend you turn back.

Note: Characters from Steins;Gate and Gate appear from the GGO arc.

From the Calibur Traffics arc, characters from Rascal Does Not Dream and Kemurikusa, as well as a few characters from Restaurant to Another World, appear.

From the Calibur Crossing arc, several characters from High Score Girl appear.

THIS WEBNOVEL IS NOT OFFICIALLY PUBLISHED ON ANY OTHER PLATFORM.

There are those who enjoy a more vanilla style of lewding, and then there are those who prefer the mint chocolate chip with a side of calamari style of lewding. Damian is one such man. Ever since he was a teenager and was visiting sites much too mature for his age, he has been in love with taboo pairings such as a beauty and a beast. However, there is a problem.

Damian not only has many bizarre tastes, but he prioritizes consensual versions of his interests above all else. Alas, very little of such content is available.

Fortunately, thanks to one of the latest VRMMORPGs to hit the market and cash shop items, he can finally become all the monsters that he could ever dream of becoming to thoroughly (and consensually) enjoy his friends and other visitors inside of his virtual dungeon! And, of course, there will be monster girls. What better to use on monster girls than actual monsters?

This is a rewrite of my previous lewd story, Ero Dungeon Evolution. However, while it may have the same cast of characters, the setting, plot, and overarching themes are different. This one focuses much more on slice of life, lewds, romance, and dungeon management.

Catnip

Determined to assist her father in his research, Prim follows him as they journey toward a nearby dungeon, where an enigmatic ritual will be held. Betrayed at the last second by her sole remaining family member, it is only a young priestess' words that save her from slavery or worse. Instead of being bound to the dungeon for all eternity and abused in ways she can only imagine, Prim finds herself in the loving care of a goddess she barely knows anything about.

Before she realizes it, Prim, now Kiomi, is the lord of her very own dungeon, one that she will fill with many wonders and... foxes.
