Dungeon Travels

Death was supposed to be the end of it — the pain, the suffering, the failures. Instead, a recently deceased man wakes up as a small stone strapped to a table while a pimple-faced teenager rubs his facets. Life as a dungeon core isn't entirely terrible. There are lizard love triangles to observe and militaristic dwarves to spy on. The only real problem is his increasingly entangled situation with the Gods — which is a bit of a problem.

Dale the dungeon core wants to do more than survive. His experience with the gods made it clear that power equals freedom — and without it, he's just a toy for the powerful. From the Spire of the West to the Orcs of the South, Dale creates his own little world, studies magic, enchants devices, and crafts challenges for gods and an Arch-Mage alike — all while trying to keep Miss Blue-Box happy.
