Dungeon Master Core

In a modern urban landscape where dungeons intertwine with everyday life, Theo Marcellus is an unassuming high school student at Arcadia High, a school renowned for its elite dungeon program. With the ability to awaken latent powers as a Warden, Theo is determined to forge his own path, despite his low energy level and lack of skills. His life takes a dramatic turn during a routine school day when he inadvertently gets pulled into a collapsing dungeon during a raid. Inside the dungeon, he encounters Aria Sinclair, a prodigious Warden known for her incredible combat abilities and strong leadership. Together, they face off against ruthless raiders attempting to steal an ancient artifact. As chaos ensues, Theo feels an inexplicable connection to the artifact, awakening a dormant energy within him that surprises even Aria. This unexpected event not only sparks his determination to master his newfound abilities but also leads to a burgeoning bond with Aria, who becomes both his mentor and an enigmatic figure in his life. As Theo embarks on his journey of self-discovery, he delves deeper into the complexities of the Warden system, exploring skill trees and leveling up in a world filled with magic and danger. With Aria’s guidance, he trains rigorously, pushing past his limits to uncover the truth behind his unique potential and the artifact's connection to him. However, the more he learns, the more he becomes entangled in the hidden politics of Arcadia High, where rival organizations vie for control of powerful artifacts and knowledge. In the backdrop, a secretive organization known as the Shadow Syndicate lurks, driven by a ruthless agenda to exploit dungeon energies for their gain. They recognize Theo's latent powers and target him as a key player in their plans. As Theo’s skills grow, he realizes that the threats posed by this organization are not only dangerous but personal, entangling his fate with those he cares about. Amidst intense training sessions, exploration events, and confrontations with the Syndicate, Theo navigates his evolving feelings for Aria, who is both a mentor and an object of admiration. Their relationship deepens as they face external threats and internal struggles, each supporting the other as they confront the shadows of their past and the burdens of their destinies. In a climactic exploration event, Theo and his friends uncover a powerful dungeon that holds the key to understanding his connection to the artifacts and the true nature of his abilities. As they face overwhelming challenges and betrayals, Theo must confront his deepest fears, decide where his loyalties lie, and ultimately awaken the power within him to protect those he loves. "Awakening Shadows" is a tale of growth, friendship, and the fight against darkness in a world where every choice shapes destiny. Theo’s journey from a reluctant hero to a formidable Warden reflects the struggles of finding one’s place in a world filled with challenges, magic, and the complexities of human relationships.

When Alex finds the book, it might be hidden, cloaked in shadows, or bound in an ancient, strange material that somehow calls out to him. The book itself could be almost alive, with pages that shimmer or change when touched, filled with secrets of cosmic proportions: the origins of the universe, the cycles of creation and destruction, and the forces that control fate. As he reads, he unknowingly unlocks a dormant magic within him—powers that connect him to the universe on a fundamental level, giving him the potential to influence reality, bend time, or defy fate itself. As he continues reading, he realizes that this power also brings responsibility. He must confront the forces of fate, which are determined to maintain the universe’s cycle, resisting any interference in its natural end. The boy’s journey becomes one of choice and courage, balancing the powers he's gained with the burden of deciding whether he can—or should—prevent the universe's eventual destruction.

The life of a Dungeon Scrapper was an easy one. And so, Agnus lived a life of opulence and pleasure. However, he was considered scum! The job of a Dungeon Scrapper was lucrative of course, but at what cost? Your reputation! Many died by his hands, whether it'd be indirectly or not. But then, he had suddenly met his end by the very people he hired. "How ironic," He thought, as his soul drifted away into the depths of the unknown. But then, a bright light suddenly awoke him from his deep slumber. Rohan looked around. Blood, blood everywhere, and terrifying monsters. It was a scene all too familiar to him... He was...the porter he killed! "Have...I been reincarnated?" Cover is not mine.

But after countless reincarnations, he slowly forgot it all—his past, his purpose, his power. But what if he remembered? What would happen if the truth came rushing back? ************************* what are you going to read? well, you may find some similarities with the "reverend insanity " as it's my source of inspection but is it a cheap copy? hell no. The first volume (1_53) may not be much sound like a typical web novel style as it wasn't originally planned to be publish as an online novel, yet I'm working hard to fix it in the next volumes. But generally speaking, I'm constantly trying to improve so please keep that in mind. about updating, I try to do it daily but sometimes it's just not my day so I'll publish more or longer chapters the other day. The reason it's free is because I want everyone to enjoy this so consider it a gift from me. The world building is unique in it's own way and the more you read, the better you understand the lore. Do we have harem or something like this? If it makes the story better I'll even kill The MC So if it was necessary to add anything to novel, I won't hold back. Finally, I think there's a need to make a chapter and explain the things you might forget, so I'll do that when I have time. Then, smile and enjoy. P.S: I'm pretty curious about how you see this work of mine so if you like, write about your experience in the review section.

I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!

As a big fan of dungeon novels I wanted to try to write my own novel. Here my first try.

There's always a shadow behind a light. That's how the saying went. I once, too, wanted to be a light. Someone who shined brightly. Someone who stood at the top of the world and was admired by everyone. It was a distant dream of mine. One that, inevitably, I couldn't achieve. Or so I thought. That was when I thought of something. If something shines bright enough, will there still be a shadow? *** For every star, there's a manager. In a world where the entertainment circle is focused on superhumans, Liam Marken, a man whose dreams are shattered, decides to take matters into his own hands and becomes a manager. With his own two hands, he wanted to nurture stars that could reach the peak. Just before he could even start on his new dream, he was gripped by a weird sensation, and... He caught a glimpse of the future. *** This is my take on showbiz novels with a twist. This is a slice-of-life novel with added elements such as romance and action. It's meant to be a relaxing novel one can read when they want to take a break. Each chap will range from 1.8k-2.5k. Inspired by Top Management, IRAS, and TAPOV.
