01 - Dungeon Core 101

What if you got a second chance…as a dungeon?

Every beginning is also an end. Rem, the Foxkin Oracle of the Wildwood, knows this better than most, seeing as he is on his second life. Most people don’t get another chance at the whole life thing after a stupidly oversized adventurer’s hammer uses their head to paint a tree, but a goddess on the Pantheon of the Divine sees great potential in Rem.

Granted salvation by his Patron, Rem becomes a Dungeon Core, a magical entity tasked with creating the trials essential to helping adventurers become the true warriors they were meant to be. In his new existence as a Dungeon Core, Rem can create minions to fight for him, design magical loot of immeasurable power to reward those who overcome his obstacles, craft spells that will affect the entire world, and do more for his clan than he could possibly imagine. Just as soon as he passes his classes and ranks up….

Welcome to Ansith’s Academy for Dungeon Training and Combat. Welcome to Dungeon Core 101.

02 - Dungeon Core 101: Midterms
A dungeon core’s education is a careful mix of having an open mind, a steely determination, a dash of curiosity, and…a certain resilience to explosive forces!

After the grueling task of murdering a feral dungeon and the near-death experience that came with it, the year has finally begun in earnest at Ansith’s Academy for Dungeon Training and Combat. Rem Snowfur has his class load in place, new abilities at his beck and call, an assistant, and a goddess in his corner to boot.

With so much working for him, the Foxkin turned Dungeon Core is progressing more swiftly than he could have ever hoped, but will that be enough for Rem to keep up with the fast-approaching midterms and their fabulous prizes?

With the adventurer’s guild building up their new town at his borders, the task of building up his dungeon proper, and keeping Ansith—not to mention his friends—in the dark about his new ally. The margin for error is only getting narrower, and Rem cannot afford to slip up now. He’s learned too much and come too far for that. It’s going to take more than the risk of death, a few bullies, and the unfortunate secret history of his entire race to stop him from rising to the top.

Class is back in session. Don’t be late.
