[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it was obviously about violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]
__________________________
Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone –... more>> Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

Report: The Imperium's Vanguard... more>>

Callsign: Demiurge
Unit: 4th Research Division of the Adeptus Psykana

First Entry,
Reporting from the Astorion World.

This expansive world presents an ecosystem teeming with exotic lifeforms hitherto unrecorded within the Imperium's known borders. Of particular interest is the Astorion species, an enigmatic race that transcends our conventional understanding. It is, in essence, a living, breathing world.

Preliminary findings suggest that Astorion is a high-dimensional lifeform, where its very 'body' constitutes its own dimension. As Astorion advances in maturity, it demonstrates an ability to generate additional layers of dimensions, a phenomenon likely attributed to its self-defense mechanisms.

If substantiated, this hypothesis holds profound implications for the Imperium's continuity, mobility and the expansion of lebensraum. Further in-depth examinations and analyses are imperative to comprehending the full extent of the Astorion species' significance.

A story about our protagonist Zain becoming an Egyptian themed dungeon.

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.

When people die, where do they end up to?
I don't know about anyone else, but when I died, I arrived at the strangest Heaven of all times. And I got a chance to reincarnate with all of my memories!... more>>

Jackpot!
If you look away from the fact I had to reincarnate as a damn monster which is the lowest of all the bottom feeders? And I had to represent one of the worst goddesses ever!?

And to make things worse, my "birthplace" was a freaking Dungeon! And not your everyday Dungeon with level 1 slimes and goblins, but a freaking Dungeon-turned-world-destroying-facility!

Still, you gotta work with what you have. So see me how I survive in this crazy new world!!

...But I promise I won't be mad if the bosses get debuffed. No? Damn...

Part of a planned shared story universe. Completely original work. This is my first attempt at writing a long-form story.
~~~
What to expect:
- No litRPG. There will be system-inspired elements, but with no numbers, levels, or stats to keep track of.
- Reality-bending, gender-bending, and mind-bending
- Superhero battles, crime fighting, and adventure.
- Comic-book style shenanigans of sci fi, magic, and dark comedy
- Multiple main characters and POV switches

Mature content warning for:
Descriptions of body horror and transformations, graphic cartoon violence, depictions of cruelty, death, and blood.

In the Land named Lender, there existed creatures that no one had ever heard about. Have you ever heard of creatures from one of its kind?
One among the myths beings who are said to be the strongest of all.
Who lives behind the shadows of humans, who are called the strongest from one side while the others call them immortal?
They are not fairies, Vampires, Goblins, or Werewolves however something beyond them.
They are called DeathLocks.
It is a rare rumor about them that they are powerful after being gifted with a natural mysterious source called a system. The system works well with them as it provides them with requirements from above what... more>> a normal human being struggles to earn. With this, they wage wars over numerous Kingdoms and conquered lands according to their own will. No one can stop them or battle against them.
On the other hand, a common fact about their system is that Human beings can’t see their system, and for this, the Deathlocks feel proud of it.
However, everything slowly collapses when a young boy from the humans named Yutosai soon discovers a chained Deathlock who is trapped between survival for life and the darkness of death. What’s worse both are quite close to each other.
To turn the matter upside down, this Deathlock chooses Yutosai to be his slave in exchange for his freedom by providing him THREE systems at a time, with all different statuses and power which soon takes his life from the poor of slavery till meeting up with mighty kings.
How does Yutosai’s life change into a world where he sees mystery behind lands, finds cries behind voices, seeks evil behind the white, visits strong Kings and salutes Empires, meets dark villains, and feels peaceful auras trapped around his land?
With the blood of a slave running in his veins, find out his long journey around the land and how will he manage to finish the main quest line with one sentence to be solved as an order by his master:

Elden Online, the most popular VRMMORPG on the web.

They were hosting a one-time event known as the Double-Tier Leveling Event, and the entire platform wanted to partake in this. As the players eagerly waited for the event to begin, a celestial comet collided with the neural net of HyperTech Industries, the brilliant minds behind this game.

This cosmic encounter changed reality as a whole - the souls of the players were transported from the real world to the game world, which had now become a tangible reality.

Death was real, and the possibility of a "restart" button was foolish.

However, Shin, a nonchalant player at level 9, acquired a new class - Dominator, the gameʼs strongest class. As a result, he gained a system, granting him the power to conquer dungeons and shape them to his will.

Thus, he became a Dungeon Lord.

And soon after would come to be known as the Shopkeeper.

Some wondered why he had such a name, but it was easy...

His dungeon was also a general store.

Within its walls, Shin sold - skills, magical artifacts, scrolls, magic stones, crystals...

It was a death game, however, he wasn't the least bit bothered... <<less

Hi, this is my first story that I am posting on here and so I am not sure of how the quality will be or how often I will be uploading but I will try to write to the best of my ability and upload every Monday. So I will be happy to receive any constructive criticism.
Also there are going to be lots of time skips and POV changes to characters that might never reappear and there will be trans characters so keep any hateful comments to yourself.
Since this is my first story I will be adding tags as they come up in the story but if you think of any that I have missed please leave a comment and I will fix it. <<less

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.... more>>

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, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. 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!
