Reo Kanzaki, a pro-gamer and master strategist, wakes up in a mystical labyrinth after being betrayed and killed by his own teammates in a VR game. In this world, he is chosen as a Dungeon Master, governing an endless dungeon filled with monsters, artifacts, and lost civilizations.

As he builds his dungeon, he must defend it against invading heroes, armies, and gods. But he soon realizes his dungeon isn’t just a battleground—it’s a prison holding a cosmic threat that could devour reality itself.

Dungeon Master: Sovereign of the Infinite Labyrinth

The grand hall of Eldoria's royal palace buzzed with tension. At its center, beneath a crystal chandelier, a massive table was surrounded by armored knights, robed magi, and high-ranking nobles.

A single piece of parchment lay before them.

Delivered by the only two survivors of the recent dungeon raid.

The moment High Commander Alric read it, his face darkened.

"A Dungeon Master…?" His voice was like steel, cold and heavy. "Not just a mindless entity, but a sentient one?"

Veylan and Kaela knelt before the table, their heads lowered.

"Yes, sir," Veylan confirmed, his voice grim. "This dungeon isn't like the others. It's… evolving. Fast."

Kaela's hands trembled. "And Jerrod… he was taken."

Whispers erupted around the table.

Dungeon monsters didn't take prisoners. They killed, they devoured, they destroyed.

A noble scoffed. "It matters not. A newly awakened dungeon is still weak. We should strike before it becomes a threat."

A woman in royal magi robes—Archmage Elara—tapped her fingers on the table.

"Did you see the Dungeon Master's level?" she asked.

Kaela hesitated. "No… but…" She swallowed hard. "His monsters were unnatural. They weren't basic summons. They fought like assassins."

Alric stood, slamming a gauntleted fist on the table.

"No more underestimations. No more losses."

"I will lead the next assault myself."

Back in the Labyrinth Core Chamber, Reo stood before the Dungeon Core, eyes narrowed.

A new notification flickered in his vision.

[Warning: High-Ranking Enemies Approaching]

Five red markers blinked near the dungeon's entrance. Their levels? Higher than the previous invaders.

Knight-Captain Alric (Level 35) – Elite warrior, master of siege tactics.

Archmage Elara (Level 38) – Powerful spellcaster, skilled in dungeon suppression magic.

Blackthorn Twins (Level 32 & 33) – Twin assassins, experts in infiltration and sabotage.

Bishop Lorne (Level 30) – High-ranking priest, specializes in exorcism and divine barriers.

If they breached his core, he was finished.

"They're strong. But this is my domain."

Reo swiped through his Dungeon Construction Menu.

It was time to build his second floor.

[New Floor Creation – Initiating…]

Stone shifted, corridors expanded, and a new floor took shape beneath the first.

Twisting Hallways – Designed to confuse and separate invaders.

Shadow Veil Chambers – A place where his Shadow Stalkers could ambush unseen.

The Blood Furnace – A room that saps invaders' life force, slowly weakening them.

The Abyss Maw's Lair – His new pet's hunting ground.

Then, he turned his attention to his minions.

Deep in the dungeon's lower halls, Jerrod sat in silence.

His eyes were distant. The golden runes on his skin pulsed faintly.

The Shadow Stalkers watched him from the darkness, their eyes gleaming.

Then, a voice echoed through his mind.

Jerrod gasped. His body shuddered.

A notification flickered in his vision.

[Dungeon Enhancement Detected – Human Servant Awakening Initiated]

His muscles tightened. His vision sharpened. Power coursed through his veins.

His identity as a mere adventurer was fading.
