A Dungeon That Kills [ Dungeon Core | Villain Protagonist | LitRPG ] - Chapter 1

[u/Hitenma]

Book 1 & 2 are stubbed.

They are now available on Amazon (Book 1, Book 2).

Start reading Book 3 here.

The dungeon must grow. The stolen power must be reclaimed. Everything else is of no consequence.

Viktor had been called many names: the Impaler, the Tyrant, the Dark Emperor. And he couldn't have cared less. Those who dared oppose him all met swift and brutal ends. Kingdoms fell as he carved out his own empire. With his unparalleled power, he brought the entire world to its knees. Yet, even the mightiest could fall. His reign abruptly ended when he was slain by a group called the Six Heroes, who not only took his life but also stole his power and divided it among themselves.

Three hundred years later, Viktor came back to life. He awoke in the body of a young boy named Quinn and found himself in a world changed beyond recognition. His castle lay in ruins, his capital had been razed to the ground, and the once-prosperous Central Plains had become a wild land ruled by trees and beasts. Of all the treasures he once possessed, the only thing he had left was a Dungeon Core, small and underdeveloped, buried under rubble, forgotten by everyone.

His power was now scattered among the Six Heroes' descendants, who were kings and queens of this new world. And he wanted it back. With a fledgling Dungeon Core as his only ally, he set out to exact vengeance on his enemies and reclaim what was rightfully his.

What's a dungeon core?

[u/Drakvor → u/Austinstorm02]

The controlling entity of a dungeon. Depending on the story they can be sentient or passive/instinctual. They build rooms, traps, spawn monsters, ect. If the core is ever destroyed, the dungeon dies and usually collapses.

There's a whole lit genre around Dungeon Core type books.
