Shattered Pixel Dungeon

The Mayan ceremonial dagger had an inscription in the ancient language that read: "Offer thy heart". It's obviously an instruction left by the past inhabitants of this forgotten place, but who would be stupid enough to stab himself in the heart with a rusty old knife found inside a tombstone? After activating my battery pack the dagger shimmers brightly in a cyan light, the creatures are coming, I can hear their steps. 'It's do or die.'

In a world ravaged by war and left in ruin for over a century, humanity clings to survival in scattered enclaves. The remnants of once-powerful military regimes now rule with iron fists from fortified bases, preying on the weak and keeping fear alive. For most, freedom is just a memory—if they remember it at all. Among the enforcers of this brutal order is Pierce, a soldier forged in silence and obedience. From childhood, her voice was stolen—silenced by those who demanded total control. Trained to follow orders without question, she became a weapon for the very system that shattered the world. But when a mission leads her to arrest more innocent people, something inside her breaks free. Defying everything she was taught, Pierce rescues a group of prisoners and escapes into the Wilds. Haunted by guilt and uncertainty, she embarks on a journey, discovering what it means to live for something other than survival or duty. Among those Pierce freed, Caleb teaches her what it means to have freedom. As Pierce learns to speak for the first time—finding her voice both literally and figuratively—she also finds love, friendship, and a sense of family she never knew was possible. But freedom comes at a cost, and the military force she left behind will stop at nothing to hunt her down and destroy the spark of rebellion she carries.

The most eclectic epic ever inspired! With the whole globe snowed over, humans are no longer on top of the ladder. Violent aliens have forced humanity into various locations of hiding, and an evil ancient clan reveals itself. Taking control of sanctuaries all over Earth as Mafia Bosses, Dictators, Conquerors, and other forms of leadership, in an attempt to prove which is the strongest amongst them. After being in hiding for three years, humans have begun to acquire "abilities" just from slaying one of these aliens. Shortly after leaving their sanctuary/apocalypse training academy, two old friends, Katsu and Saku, are matched together not only as an academic team, but chosen by the last surviving "Creator of Humanity". Each one is 'blessed' as the vessels for the universe's contemporary forces and use their unique abilities to achieve their own (secretly combative) goals. Accompanying them is a female descendant of the greatest 'unknown' Scandinavian sword fighter. After being revealed to about her destined lineage, and the lost "mythical" history of her highly respected grandmother from the Viking/Valkyrie Age, Shelly is determined to retrieve all of her slain grandmother's stolen weapons from a both physically and magically gifted covenant of witches. If you have a beloved purpose you can't live without, do you truly have any freedom? If you have complete freedom to do or say whatever you desire, do you truly have any purpose worth caring about?

Life and death, two sides of the same coin. Most people believe this is it; something lives and eventually dies. This is wrong, however. There are three sides to a coin, is there not? Reincarnation, the art of rebirth. There cannot be death if there is no life, and there can not be life if there is no death. The River of Souls is normally the medium used to keep this delicate and precious cycle going, in turn keeping the universe in order. But in all things, even a process as grand as this, there are exceptions.

In a world where the supernatural collides with the ordinary, dungeons—dangerous rifts to other realms—begin appearing across the city, threatening humanity. The Hunter Association, tasked with sealing these rifts, relies on Guides who are psychically linked to Hunters with extraordinary powers. A former soldier, becomes a newly awakened Guide at 27, struggling to adapt to his role. Paired with an S-ranked Hunter, a reckless veteran esper, he faces the daunting challenge of navigating deadly dungeons filled with nightmarish creatures. Their partnership is strained—A disciplined and methodical solider, and an esper who's impulsive and dismissive of rules. As dungeons appear more frequently, each mission tests their limits and teamwork. While the Guide adjusts to his new life and role, the esper wrestles with his haunted past and growing responsibilities. Together, they uncover a disturbing pattern behind the dungeon outbreaks, suggesting a larger, sinister plot at play. Amid the chaos, the guide grapples with losing his former life and his growing attachment to his esper, while the looming danger threatens to push them—and their fragile trust—apart. Every decision they make could determine the city's fate, or possibly the entire world. NOTE: This is a slow-burn light-romance BL.

[Note: This novel will no longer be posting any more chapters, but you can still read the existing content as it will be kept as a time capsule. just keep in mind there won’t be any further updates.] In a world transformed by dungeons and mutations, most people have gained extraordinary powers or unique racial traits. But a boy name Hugo Icelandra is different—he's a powerless human, lacking both abilities and the advantages of mutated races. With no strength to speak of, he’s overshadowed by his talented family and mocked by peers for daring to dream of becoming a Hunter. That all changes when Hugo’s father gifts him the Megatrix, an advanced device capable of transforming him into superior versions of other species. Armed with this revolutionary technology, Hugo takes his first step into the Hunter High Academy, determined to prove his worth. However, the path to greatness is fraught with peril. Hugo must survive deadly trials, face his old bullies, and earn the respect of his peers—all while learning to master the Megatrix and discovering his own inner strength. Along the way, he encounters an unlikely group of allies, including a silver-haired sharpshooter, a fiery dark elf, and a gravity-wielding half-dragon. Together, they’ll uncover secrets that could reshape the very foundations of their world. In a world where power defines status, Hugo’s journey is a testament that ingenuity, resilience, and hard work can surpass even the greatest natural gifts. ---- This novel is loosely inspired by the concept of shape-shifting tech and super-powered transformations, kind of like if Ben-10 went to a dungeon, got a makeover, and swapped the Omnitrix for a wrist gadget with some extra flair. Totally not a copy, just a fun twist on the idea!

………………………… All these things would be with 18+ characters only so please don’t imagine strange things and cause me trouble. By the way, I accept suggestions but not negative comments that can spoil my mood, if you don’t like my work just leave instead of wasting my time. ……………………………… A woman suddenly woke up in a dazed state with confused eyes. “Don’t I die in the dungeon world?” (Will be another novel) “This is my room when I am at the end of high school.” She took out her phone to check the date 23/12/25. It is around 10 PM then the beta dungeon would appear at 00:00 AM in 2 hours on 24/12/25. Unfortunately it is my birthday and I turn 18. At that time all the people between the ages of 18 to 48 would wake up from their sleep or see a monster like mouth opening beside them with a staircase inside. They are attracted to enter this monster mouth and walk down the stair case entering the first floor of the dungeon. …………………………… There are 100 levels in this beta dungeon and one can only cross 1 floor in a day. The monster mouth would appear 00:00 AM at every night and there is no attraction from the second day. If they decided not to enter then they would stop entering directly with monster mouth never appearing again from the next day. The time spent in the dungeon world is only an instant and the time never moves from 00:00 AM no matter how much time you spent in the dungeon world. The death in the dungeon world is real death and the pain is more real. Anything obtained in the dungeon world cannot be brought out except for the skills or abilities that are obtained. Also they cannot be used to cause damage to the world, unless they want to be erased. The time limit for this dungeon is only 100 days. After that the real problem appeared. The world population irrespective of age was transferred to the dungeon world divided into villages throughout that world as refugees. Mohini immediately asked. “Then why are you taking this slow approach instead of letting me directly show off everything and let him fuck me directly?” The system said. “Host, the amount of lust and desire energy generated when wearing revealing clothes is many times higher than the lust and desire energy generated when showing off the naked body.” ………………………………… The midnight dungeon is the only thing I am writing here which is a 100 day on. Based on the results I will write the dungeon world story as continuation. If it did not get response then I will stop with this. ……………………………………
