Reincarnated as Dungeon core
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.
I appreciate your thoughts 'Reincarnated as a Dungeon Core' is a story that starts with the traditional dungeon core concept but gradually expands into a deeper, more intricate adventure. While it includes dungeon core mechanics, it also delves into larger world-building, strategy, and even kingdom development offering a fresh take on the genre. If you enjoy a story where the protagonist evolves beyond just a core and takes on greater challenges, you’ll find plenty to enjoy! This is a long-term story with 1000+ chapters planned, and there's still so much to unfold. I hope you'll give it a chance and experience the full journey! Thanks for reading.
