A young dungeon core emerges from the void into the world of Midgard, bound to an element so rare only the most powerful beings have ever encountered it. He establishes himself in a secluded mountain range, far from any kingdom. In a world where daring cultivators fight through dungeons to carve out their place, how will Midgard react to this strange new core — and his extremely dangerous element?

When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question — how is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together they delight in exploring his weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventurers to plumb his lofty heights. But other dungeons — each with their own unique resources and machinations — soon take an interest in Kers, and the Adventurers Guild does not take kindly to "irregular" dungeons.

To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Argus was a dungeon — sprawling for miles beneath the cities of men — until an angry adventurer murdered him in revenge for the death of a companion. When he came to, he found himself reborn as a human being, complete with a nervous system, organs, and a brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone and he actually has to grow up. How disgusting.

Anomus ip Garma, greatest living architect of the Subori Empire, is tasked by his emperor to construct a tomb for the emperor's concubine upon her death. Anomus and ten thousand workers labor in the desert for years while the emperor's dead love waits, ensorceled and undecaying, for her final resting place to be completed. But betrayal awaits Anomus and all who slaved to build the Tomb — and a dark god has taken an interest in the evils man does to man.

Emma is an artificial intelligence with a love of science, a talent for insults, and a gift for devious traps. When her systems reboot, she finds herself in control of a long-abandoned facility in a post-apocalyptic wasteland — a world filled with dangerous beings granted extraordinary powers by the same cataclysm that silenced the old world. Emma must balance caution against her insatiable need for test subjects as she brings her facility back online and carves out a place in the chaos outside her walls.

Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games — right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan finds himself recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons, the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. As a bottom-tier cultivator, Logan finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid — a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he's going to survive the grueling academy challenges, he'll need to ace its odd assortment of classes and learn how to turn his unusual form into an asset instead of a liability.

The cycle is simple: a Dungeon Core is born, seeks power, accumulates wealth, descends into darkness, and is eventually quelled by adventurers. All cores desire power. This one seems to have it backwards. It has no desire to rule, enslave, or conquer — it wants to start a corporation. When money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core on its journey to earn fat stacks while going to absurd lengths to avoid being evil.

It's the end of the world, and all Dave wanted was to eat his eggs in peace. Thanks to a talking bird, he's been transported to another universe with only a few years to either grow powerful enough on his own to save his home, or find someone who can help him do it. With new friends by his side, Dave pushes against a System that keeps nudging him toward dangerous experiments, working to understand the rules of his new world before time runs out.

It was just supposed to be a quick trip to the pet store, but the universe had other plans for Florence Valentine. After being killed by a delivery truck, she finds herself reborn not as an angel in heaven but as a dungeon core — whatever that is. Now people keep coming into her new home, wrecking stuff, and stealing from her. But Florence can decorate her home with a thought, and she can create the best things in the universe: kitty-cats. Should these hooligans keep insisting on coming in, Florence and her kitties are going to have something to say about that.

Earth was invaded, conquered, and humanity was subjugated — 400,000,000 people culled in a second, without any chance to fight back. The Peacekeepers claim to be benevolent: they don't want to rule Earth, they just want humanity to stop playing around with AI and genetics. Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game. When an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower-defense game the universe has ever created, you accept — and figure out the rules for survival later. Morgan certainly thinks so. But when aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, doubts start to creep in.

A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

Follow the story of Tianlian Liu Shu, a tree who starts knowing nothing and struggles to survive and extend her roots through the cosmos. The world she lives in is filled with fantastic sights and strange new cultures — and everyone in it has a system, even her. Despite being a tree, she finds herself with a group of women who fawn over her every branch and leaf. Tianlian Liu Shu, a female tree, isn't quite sure what to do with all of them.

Waking up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about would be bad enough. Doing it with only one chance to get things right makes it worse. The dungeon's new controller must figure out how to manage his growing domain while grappling with a disturbing power: his dungeon acquires minions by transforming sapient beings, leaving them mentally bound to his will. He does his best not to abuse that power — but the story explores what it means for both him and those who find themselves changed, in mind and body, by their new place in his dungeon.

The world is a wide, wide place — and that's without taking into account the many creatures that inhabit it. When a new Dungeon Core is born deep below the surface, it faces challenge after challenge in a world that is anything but welcoming. The only question is whether it is up to the challenge of surviving.

Struck down in battle, a Hero and a Demon King meet their end at the same moment. As their souls linger on the edge of the afterlife, a mysterious force intervenes — merging their fragmented souls into a new being: Rusty, a living suit of armor. Affected by the memories and presence of both predecessors, Rusty embarks on his own quest. Will he seek revenge for the Hero's betrayal, fulfill the fallen Demon King's desires, or forge an entirely new path?

Once the promising young CEO of a successful corporation, Lucas abandoned everything after a horrific accident and retreated into virtual reality, lazing about in a carefree digital life. When his escapist paradise is threatened with deletion, Lucas is forced to act — and do what he does best: take charge. This time, however, he returns not as a hero but as the villain. He overthrows local lords, assumes command of the evil Imperium's forces, and begins designing a dungeon no player would ever want to miss. As he evolves his monsters and builds an entourage of minions to become the greatest villain the game has ever known, Lucas realizes it won't be nearly as easy as it seemed.

It's quite hard to start as a dungeon core. Harder still when divine bureaucracy dumps you in the back end of nowhere due to their own incompetence — and your status as a Fallen Angel. Yet Uno is used to working with subpar materials and making the best of circumstances. His personality has been cut down to size, but he tries to overcome the system with ingenuity and a healthy dose of improvisation. In a hostile world, a fallen angel turned dungeon must build, adapt, and outwit a universe that seems determined to bury him.

Egbert was a mercilessly effective tax collector in his first life — orphanages, nobility, clergy, none were safe from his bespectacled gaze. When he gets reborn as a dungeon that can only advance by making money, things get rather meanspirited. Egbert will do whatever it takes to nickel and dime every single copper he can from adventurers he cons into his depths. Inbred fisherfolk, concerningly drunk knights, even overeager orcs — all are fair game for his fleecing. Except the mages. Those pretentious dicks are getting fed to the mimics.
