Dungeon Bound

Branded a coward after emerging as the sole survivor of a catastrophic dungeon collapse, scout Elias Vern harbors a deadly secret, he's bound to a sentient dungeon core fragment that's transforming his body and mind. Recruited into a team of outcast adventurers with their own mysterious abilities, Elias must navigate a treacherous new existence while mastering his strange powers of spatial manipulation. With guild inquisitors hunting him, a cold-eyed researcher watching his every move, and his consciousness slowly merging with the ancient entity inside him, Elias races to uncover the truth behind his binding and his friends' deaths. But in a world where dungeons hold both peril and power, some secrets were never meant to be discovered and the fragment whispering in his mind might be his salvation or his undoing.
