Dungeon Meshi Mushroom

The world changed when the dungeons appeared. Portals to twisted dimensions began opening across South Korea and then, the world. From goblin caves to flaming sky-realms, each dungeon threatened reality itself. Civilization adapted fast: the strongest awakened powers, guilds replaced corporations, and monster drops became more valuable than Bitcoin. Kang Jinho, meanwhile, just wanted some instant noodles. When a glitchy portal yanked him into a dungeon mid-snack-run, Jinho didn’t awaken like the heroes in the news. He didn’t unlock fire magic, summon a dragon, or wield a legendary sword. Instead, he got… “Glitchwalker.” A bugged skill. One the system doesn’t even understand. Now stuck with powers that make no sense, a frying pan he can’t unequip, and a string of baffled government agents watching him, Jinho is dragged into the chaotic world of dungeon hunters. Guilds want to recruit him. Enemies want to dissect him. The dungeon system wants to delete him. Too bad he’s the only one who can break the rules and maybe save the world while he’s at it. Deadpan. Overpowered (somehow). Completely unqualified. Kang Jinho is about to redefine what it means to be a Rank F nobody… …starting with absolutely no clue what he’s doing.

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.

A former dungeon boss, once feared across the land, seeks a peaceful life after centuries of managing minions, traps, and treasure. Now living in a remote town disguised as an ordinary human, he dedicates himself to raising his adopted human daughter, Lila. However, her adventurous spirit and determination to become a hero keep pulling him back into the dangerous world he left behind. To protect her, he secretly uses his dungeon-master skills to manipulate their quests and ensure her safety, all while trying to keep his true identity hidden.

This is a story about a young man who was left to die on the roadside. but this was not the end of his existence, but a beginning of what is yet to come. he will be reborn in a world where gods walk among mortals. where monsters are not the only threat. will he be able to live a life and find a purpose that is worth living or dying for? Note: This isn't a story where the MC chases every woman, nor does every girl he talks to fall for him. Relationships will have depth and meaning(at least I will try to give depth)—he’ll have to earn their love. He will be stronger than an adventurer at his level, but He won’t start as someone who is too OP, but his growth will outpace even Bell’s. If you're here for real development—both in strength and emotion—then welcome aboard. As of now, I plan to include only Ryuu, Riveria, Ais, and Asfi and focus on them. In the future, I might add Alise, Shakti, Filvis, and maybe even Alfia. And some other characters every chapter will be between 1000 words to 3000 words. another note: This is a fan work.

In the harsh world of Eldoria, Orion Elias Aetherin is just an F-rank orphan, struggling for survival. But when he and his loyal friends stumble upon the hidden Lumien's Sanctuary, their lives are irrevocably changed. This isn't just any dungeon; it's a place of ancient secrets, granting them powerful cultivation techniques and rare, graded weapons, pushing his friends to F-rank, Tier 3. Yet, for Orion, the dungeon holds a bewildering mystery: a unique cultivation technique called 'The Primordial Tether' of 'Unknown' grade, which bafflingly requires a "Dungeon Core" to cultivate, leaving him frustratingly behind his rapidly advancing companions. As they battle tireless undead and navigate a collapsing, lava-filled third floor, Orion makes a desperate sacrifice, only to awaken in a mysterious chamber, miraculously alive and seemingly connected to the dungeon's very heart.

The trials for the prestigious Grand Arcanum University are about to begin in Eldoria, offering a chance at greater power and knowledge. But will it be a path to answers, or simply lead them deeper into the shadows of a world far more dangerous than they ever imagined?

Who is the real monster… and who will survive when the lines blur?

BLURB > He was reborn by mistake. Raised with purpose. Loved by a god. Worshipped by monsters. And the galaxy doesn’t stand a fucking chance. Irvine’s soul took one wrong turn through the wheel of karma and woke up in a body grown by an intergalactic hivemind goddess with boundary issues and galaxy-sized ambition. Now he’s the golden child of a psychic swarm that feeds on control and burns whole worlds for affection. With Crystal at the helm, warriors like Kimchi, relic-weapons like Kiya, and a council of psionic horrors eager to call him king, Irvine must choose what kind of god he wants to be. Because when a hivemind learns to love... ...it doesn’t know when to stop. The universe will kneel—or get devoured trying. SYNOPSIS Irvine didn’t ask to be reincarnated, but the cosmos had other plans. And it didn’t hand him a cheat code or a clean slate—just one random boon, selected by an uncaring divine roulette wheel. Good karma? Bad karma? Balanced as all fuck. Now he's reborn in the body of a psionically tuned alien hybrid, raised from psychic infancy by Crystal, the hivemind queen of a race so advanced they’ve abandoned individuality for shared omniscience. All except her baby boy. Irvine is the singularity inside the swarm, the first soul allowed to think, dream, and desire independently. Trained by warriors like Kimchi, advised by bio-symbiotes like Kiya, loved ferociously by hive sisters like Diane, and shadowed by powers ancient and unnamed, Irvine is both weapon and wielder, saint and sacrifice. But empires don’t run on hugs and handjobs. As Crystal expands her dominion—across star systems and sentient nebulae—Irvine must lead the charge through blood, fire, and psionic flame. His soul is still human. His body? Engineered for extinction. His heart? Not entirely his anymore.

From the creator of Interspecies Reviewers, The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace, and Chastity Reverse World! This is a fan translation of the work by Amahara! “You have been reincarnated as our Dungeon Master. Lure in many adventurers with their desires, and through exploration and combat, create a dungeon that can drain their blood, magic power, and life, Master.” One day, a man on the verge of death in a hospital in the modern world hears a strange hallucination. It tells him to operate a dungeon as a Dungeon Master. Faced with this unusually specific hallucination, the man, while lost in fantasies of dungeon management, passes away from his illness. And now, just as the hallucination had foretold, the man is truly reincarnated as a Dungeon Master. To the Dungeon Core who had been the source of the hallucination, he declares: “Alright… I’m going to make a onsen dungeon.” And thus, my dungeon management began.

I was on my way home with my friend when suddenly, I spotted a beautiful catgirl cosplayer with white hair. But something felt off. I couldn’t recall seeing her in any anime, manga, or games I had ever come across. Confused, I asked my friend standing next to me. To my shock, my friend’s response sent chills down my spine: "Huh? What catgirl? What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward the girl. Without thinking, I rushed to save her. In the end, both of us were hit by the truck. Now, I finds myself reincarnated in another world, in the body of the very catgirl I had seen. But... who is this girl? How is she related to the dungeons that keep popping up in the new world? Read to find out. ------------------- It's really fun, with a lot of catgirls cute moments that let you explore what it's like to become a catgirl. (Like, what do they eat? Do they hate bath? Does their tongues have spike? Can they survive falling from high above?) There's a lot of sweet romance development and of course, some spicy chapters. But on the other hand, there will also be some intense action and dark moments as the story progresses. MC will be very confused emotionally and can be a bit annoying at first since she has to adapt to the catgirl genetics. Don't expect smut chappies right away because there has to be at least some relationship development. Slice of life slow start, slow burn, a lot of action later on.

The harem would not be too large(I'm not sure how many but probably just 4-5 main and few other here and there). All the girls would be getting their time and story. 2. The story is starting when the MC is in the middle of his growth stage and not at the very beginning. But his beginning will be mentioned in the story in some form. 3. I don't think I need to mention this, but obviously it will not have any NTR, rape or that kind of stuff. It is actually quite a wholesome story focusing mainly on adventure, action and bit of romance and slice of life. _________________ https://discord.com/invite/7cgm7cDupM you can join the discord if you feel like it.

What if the dungeon boss... farmed you? Adrian Voss account was supposed to be deleted—a forgotten beta tester erased by a lazy intern and a greedy game company. But one mistake let him slip through the cracks. Now still inside Primordial Abyss with a forbidden class—one the AI accidentally created by studying Adrian’s own test patterns—he doesn’t grind monsters for loot. He makes the monsters grind for him. Every boss he enslaves becomes a passive income machine. Every player who enters his domain drops loot when they die. And every arrogant guild that steps into the wrong dungeon? They’ll never even see him coming. But if Titan Corp ever finds him, they’ll wipe his class for “balance issues” and sue him into digital oblivion. So he hides. He ganks. He builds a kingdom in silence—like a virus buried in their own code. No level grind. No livestreams. Just kill logs—and no names. This isn’t a raid. It’s a quiet war over who commands the system. And Adrian doesn’t ask for control—he takes it.

Will they be friends or foes? And most of all how the Light God react to this new addition to the world, will he accept them or seek to destroy them? This novel incorporates dungeon building and management but most of that won't fully take off until the later volumes when Frost has much more floors and money to play around with. This is not a solely dungeon story as the MC Frost will have to explore and interact with the world of Nova much like how an adventurer would and forewarning the story is slow. There's a lot of details and avenues which the story goes into, not simply battles, wars and action, it follows all aspects of Frost's life, his growth and interactions with Nova not only as a Dungeon core but also as a person.
