Anomus and ten thousand workers labor in the desert for years while the emperor’s dead love waits, ensorceled and undecaying, for her final resting place to be completed.

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.

FINAL CORE : [A holy dungeon-core litRPG]

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.

[Dungeon-Core] [litRPG] [Base-building]

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 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.

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 ^^

The Dungeon Without a System

StrangerDanger51

The unnamed main character wakes up as a Dungeon Core. Instead of being deep within the earth or in a cave, this newly-minted Dungeon Core finds himself drifting to the beach of an uncharted and uninhabited island.

Watch as he explores the uses of mana, defends himself from people trying to kill him and confuses the hell out of all the humans who attempt to understand just why he's different from other dungeons.

DISCLAIMER: I have only posted my novel to Sufficient Velocity and RoyalRoad. If you see it on any other site; THAT IS NOT ME. This story is free and until I decide to publish it will remain that way.

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?

Mark Castle loves horror movies. But when he died in the hands of a cult, he is reincarnated and forced to become a dungeon core…

And makes his domain as a lonely cabin in the woods. With newfound powers, he starts his revenge on the people who murdered him.

Utilizing all the tropes and monster manuals of his favorite horror books and movies, Mark sets up a simple rule: lure unwitting victims into the cabin, kill them off one by one, and feed his core with their souls. If anyone is lucky enough to survive until dawn, he rewards them with treasure...and their lives.

But as Mark feeds and grows, the people who hunger for his unique power begin to take notice, and Mark is in even more danger than he imagined.

The Cabin is Always Hungry is a dungeon-core horror slasher and progression LitRPG with brutal deaths, dozens of horror movie-inspired monsters, classic horror settings, and plenty of redshirts.

Fair Warning: Mind the Violence and Gore tag. They are there for a reason.
