Dungeon Meshi

In a realm where dungeons are the nexus of power and adventure, a forgotten Architect awakens to a world filled with treachery and ambition. Once a mere spectator in the grand game of gods and mortals, he finds himself thrust into a desperate struggle for survival after a fateful encounter with a group of reckless adventurers. With only his wits and the remnants of an ancient dungeon core at his disposal, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of dungeon-building, gathering resources, and facing relentless threats. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of his newfound powers, he discovers the ability to summon guardians and craft traps that will turn the tide of battle. But with each victory comes a price. Rival adventurers seek to claim the power of his dungeon for themselves, and ancient secrets threaten to unravel everything he has built. As he faces increasingly formidable foes, the Architect must confront the true nature of power and the burden of his role in a game controlled by gods. Will he rise to become a legend of his design, or will he be crushed beneath the weight of ambition and fate? In a world where every choice matters, the Architect must forge his path through cunning and strategy, building a dungeon that not only serves as a sanctuary but becomes a force to be reckoned with. Join him on this thrilling journey through a realm of magic, danger, and endless possibilities—where the only limit is the depth of his imagination.

If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s. i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it. ----------- Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KkUXzjTKf9 If you have some spare change, please buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/moloxiv

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.
