Alfred Winson has been living a normal,ordinary life until he was killed in a ritual and gained the all-spawning dungeon system. This will be my fourth novel but hopefully it will be different.I also wanted to add a dungeon core story as I didn't think there was enough of those.

This world is a predatory one. It swallows endless worlds and pits them against one another in a checkerboard of kingdoms. The weak are eaten, while the strong vie for resources and land. A grand system overlays this multifarious world, in which killing grants experience, and experience grants leveling up and greater strength. The core of any great city are dungeons, living entities which spawn randomly in the world. A dungeon core is one of the most valuable items in the world, and to capture one is a golden ticket to wealth and fame. Kingdoms rule the land, but people become heroes. Those who exhaust their blood to overcome their limits, those who crossed over from another world, those who fate shines upon, even those who died and regressed in time to their younger selves. One particular dungeon core was born from the darkness, a flawed entity which was more than it seemed. ---------------------- I do not own the Book Cover artwork, I did some minor editing on it, but all appreciations should go to the original artist (Or those who I believe are) Background: https://www.deviantart.com/chateaugrief/art/Forestiere-Underground-Gardens-756257251 Elf: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/QzmA1B (I actually got this from somewhere else, but I found the original creator) **This book is not intended for anyone under the age of 18**

Beyond the Core By Leah Gess In a world divided by power and privilege, those without desirable abilities are cast out into the desolate Outskirts—left to survive in a wasteland of dust and despair. Zora, an 18-year-old exile, was discarded not because she was powerless, but because the Core feared what they couldn’t understand. When a brutal purge shatters the fragile existence she’s built, Zora’s buried strength erupts in a surge of uncontrollable power, tearing through the Core’s oppressive walls and thrusting her into the untamed wilderness beyond. With only a handful of outcasts by her side, Zora must navigate the dangers of the unknown—savage clans, whispers of an ancient prophecy, and the relentless pursuit of the Core’s forces determined to reclaim what they lost. As her abilities grow stronger, so does the truth she’s been running from: she may be the key to toppling the Core’s iron grip, but at what cost? Torn between trust and betrayal, survival and revolution, Zora must confront the darkness within herself and decide if she will be the spark that ignites a new world—or the force that destroys it.

seorang pria muda yang pendiam namun sangat peduli, tewas dalam kecelakaan kereta saat mobilnya terjebak di rel. Dia Rengkarnasi ke dunia Lain

Dunia ini aneh. Tidak, mungkin kita yang tidak cukup peka untuk mendengarnya. Seperti melangkah di atas jalan berdebu yang tidak pernah terlihat jelas ujungnya, atau seperti mencoba membaca buku yang halaman-halamannya telah terlalu lama dibiarkan terlupakan. Semua hal itu—kenapa ia ada, dan apa maknanya—terkadang lebih membingungkan daripada yang bisa diterima oleh akal sehat. Tapi, ada satu hal yang lebih membingungkan daripada apa pun di dunia ini: kenapa hidup selalu menantang kita dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan besar, sementara jawabannya seakan terbenam di dasar samudra yang tak terjangkau. Alex, seorang pengangguran yang hidupnya seperti tak lebih dari sekadar rutinitas, selalu berpikir bahwa dia sudah tahu segalanya. Ia merasa dirinya telah melihat semua sisi dunia, dari sudut yang paling gelap sekalipun. Baginya, hidup hanyalah sekadar pergulatan dengan kenyataan yang tidak selalu ramah. Hingga suatu malam, saat langit begitu gelap dan bintang-bintang seolah enggan menunjukkan dirinya, Alex menyadari sesuatu yang lebih penting daripada sekadar perjuangan untuk bertahan hidup: takdir yang tak terhindarkan. Ia selalu menganggap dunia ini bisa dikuasai, bahwa ia adalah penguasa dari hidupnya sendiri. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, seiring pijakannya yang semakin lelah, ia mulai meragukan apa yang pernah diyakininya. Dunia ini tidak hanya berbicara tentang apa yang kita inginkan, tetapi tentang apa yang dunia inginkan dari kita. Semua itu terjadi begitu saja, seolah takdir sudah menulis jalan hidupnya jauh sebelum ia bahkan mengerti tentang keberadaannya. Tidak ada yang bisa menduga apa yang akan datang selanjutnya. Termasuk Alex. Ia hanya tahu satu hal: tidak ada yang benar-benar tahu apa yang akan terjadi, kecuali mereka yang berani berjalan jauh dan mendengarkan bisikan-bisikan dunia yang seringkali tak tampak. Hanya mereka yang berani untuk bertanya, berani untuk melihat lebih dalam, berani untuk menatap ke dalam hati yang terperangkap dalam bayang-bayang gelap masa lalu. Dan malam ini, malam yang teramat sepi itu, Alex merasakan bisikan itu. Bisikan dunia yang ingin mengajaknya ke sebuah tempat yang bahkan ia sendiri belum tahu namanya.

"Aku... Hanya ingin bersama dengan diriku sendiri...... Apa itu aneh?" Aku mengucapkannya pada diriku yang lain
