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 mana, stone, sarcasm, and an overworked fairy named Twinkle who thinks he’s an idiot.
Now going by Nightshard, Alex must learn to navigate the rules of his new reality, build out his dungeon, and defend it from greedy adventurers. It’s sink or slay in this magical, gamified afterlife—and he’s got a lot to learn fast.
Build your first room.
Spawn your first goblin.
Kill your first hero.
Don’t die (again).
Featuring a witty protagonist, a sharp-tongued fairy companion, and an ever-growing dungeon filled with traps, monsters, and mystery, Dungeonheart Awakening delivers fast-paced LitRPG action, dark humor, and deadly fun. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Benoit the Anomaly, and Reborn as a Dungeon Core.

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. ...

She awoke as a silent scream, a nascent core consciousness buried in a dying, sterile world. To survive the iron grip of the Harmonic Concord, Elara must become life – a beautiful, vibrant plague against their oppressive grey order. As a World-Seed, her only path is to grow. To cultivate a sanctuary of impossible flora: crystalline Seed-Singers that paint the desolation with color, explosive Pollen Puffers that disable enemy tech, and sentient Guardian Vines that hunt and ensnare. Each new bloom is a living tower, each expansion of her dungeon domain a defiant cry against the encroaching ...

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 ...

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.

They found ruins. Now they must build a future — or die trying. When Edwin and his weary band of survivors stumble upon the abandoned village of Greenreach, they uncover more than just ash and rubble.

Azeroth simply wanted a break from the harsh realities of living in a post apocalyptic world full of demons and equally cruel humans. So he headed towards the end of the world. But trouble seemed to follow him around like a puppy and his hopes of a peaceful retirement are dashed instantly as he finds himself surrounded by demons, witches and sadistic humans. This is a fantasy book for adults. Its fun and light, but also has graphic descriptions and absolutely contains adult themes. Do not read if you are easily offended.
