In his previous life, he was a master strategist, a war general feared for his genius, but betrayal ended his reign before his time. Now, he awakens in complete darkness—trapped, immobile, and… no longer human.
Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core, the heart of a newborn dungeon, he must now navigate a world where survival is dictated by power, mana, and the strength of the monsters under his control. With the Dungeon System guiding him, he learns to shape his domain, summon creatures, and set deadly traps to lure in adventurers seeking fortune and glory.
But this world is far more dangerous than he expected. Rival dungeons seek to devour him, empires send their champions to destroy him, and the gods themselves whisper in the shadows, watching his every move. To survive, he must evolve his dungeon into something beyond what this world has ever seen—a fortress of nightmares, an empire of monsters, and a force that even the gods will fear.
The war for survival has begun. The world sees him as an abomination, a mindless entity to be erased. But they have made one fatal mistake…
They think he has no mind.
They think he cannot plan.
But even as a Dungeon Core… he remains a strategist.
And this world? It is now his battlefield.
Ahhh one of those good old dungeon core MC stories, that makes me nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood on a royal way novel site or something like that (ik the real name of the site). Glad to see this genre is not dead yet, please keep it up author, I wish you all the best in writing this gem
you are really doing great is not a bait or switch. I love it, trying to bring the traditional and every other things to make it great and very understandable
Hey everyone, Author here! I know it's a bit unusual for me to pop into the review section, but I couldn’t resist. I just wanted to say please feel free to share any suggestions or ask questions if anything in the story feels unclear.
