About this listen
The dungeon has leveled up. The adventurers have too. Now the real game begins.
Nightshard, a newly awakened Dungeon Core, survived his first raid with a golem made of desperation and stone. But survival was just the start.
Now, with mana surging and territory expanding, he’s evolving. Smarter traps. Deadlier combos. Ruthless strategy.
With help from Twinkle—the snarky ex-fairy guide—and Skraag, a trap-obsessed kobold engineer, Nightshard is transforming his lair into a lethal maze of pressure plates, chain reactions, and monster ambushes.
But this time, the enemy is different.
Cloaked. Coordinated. Cold-blooded.
A rogue adventuring party is coming—not for loot, but for his very core.
Build defenses.
Command engineers.
Unleash trap combos.
Stay one move ahead… or die trying.
Fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Benoit the Anomaly, and Defiance of the Fall will love this tactical Dungeon Core LitRPG packed with brutal traps, clever upgrades, and monster-powered teamwork.

Story
Core Overlord: Book One A Kindle Short Read, designed for a fast-paced, high-intensity LitRPG experience. I died. Respawned as a glowing rock. Now I build dungeons, spawn monsters, and kill heroes. Welcome to my afterlife. Alex never expected to wake up after getting flattened by a truck—especially not as a floating crystal in a damp, monster-infested cavern. But that's exactly what happens. He’s been reborn as a Dungeon Core: a magical entity charged with creating deadly dungeons, summoning monsters, and defending his heart—or risk deletion from existence. No body. No weapons. Just ...

Story
Waking up as a dungeon core wasn’t on Splinter’s to-do list. No body. No memory. Just a sarcastic fairy, a broken interface—and too many skeletons. Trapped beneath the ruins of a failed Bureau experiment, Splinter’s got no monsters, no traps, and barely enough mana to glow. But when a young mage stumbles in with bandits on her tail, Splinter does something no dungeon’s ever done: He chooses to fight. From his first trap to his first minion, Splinter begins to evolve—not as a tool of control, but as a dungeon of free will. One that learns, adapts… and grows. But the Bureau’s ...

Story
Welcome to the office dungeon. Promotions? Power-ups. HR? Bloodthirsty monsters. Failure? A one-way ticket to the paper shredder. Doug Kinney hated his life before the dungeon cracked open under his cubicle. Now? He’s dodging killer copiers, fighting HR golems, and grinding XP in an office hell where survival comes with a stapler — glowing, oversized, and very, very stabby. With his foul-mouthed cyber-raccoon sidekick and a survival instinct fueled by coffee, spite, and pure middle-manager rage, Doug’s ready to smash his way up the corporate ladder — one bloody memo at a time. If ...

Story
Death by cat and computer wasn't on Sarah's to-do list. Neither was becoming a sentient crystal with a magical debt collector. Software developer Sarah was having a normal, caffeine-fueled day until she tripped over her cat, fell down the stairs, and woke up as an immobile dungeon core in a fantasy world. No body, no coffee, and definitely no customer service number to call about this cosmic mistake. Now she's stuck in a cave with: An immortal fairy guide named Glitz whose idea of "helpful" involves rainbow glitter and passive-aggressive system notifications A tribe of goblins with ...

Story
Core Ascendant Book Six of the Core Overlord Series I was hunted. Broken. Buried. Now I’ve ascended — and I’m bringing hell with me. Nightshard has survived annihilation. Barely. After a brutal purge by the Bureau, the once-mighty dungeon core is driven underground, his lair in ruins, his minions scattered, and his power shattered. But dungeons don’t die quietly. With Twinkle — his ever-sarcastic hacker sprite — and Clara, a rogue agent with a grudge of her own, Nightshard prepares to rise again. His goal? Rebuild. Evolve. And take the fight to the enemy. From the shadows of ...

Story
Corebound Book Four of the Core Overlord Series I leveled up. Unlocked a forbidden power. Now the dungeon itself obeys my will. After crushing another wave of adventurers, Nightshard reaches Dungeon Level 4—and with it, a power long thought erased from the system: Corebinding. The ability to reshape terrain in real-time. No more slow digging. No more waiting. With a thought, walls shift, tunnels vanish, traps rebuild themselves mid-fight. It’s not just evolution. It’s revolution. But with forbidden upgrades come Bureau eyes. Twinkle is panicking, adventurers are collapsing tunnels, ...
