"Magic is a currency. Power is a debt. Freedom comes at a cost.
Luke never planned on becoming a caretaker to a chaos fairy. Breaking the seal on an old puzzle box was supposed to be a simple job—appraise the relic, pocket the profit, and move on. Instead, he unleashes Riven, a mischievous, mana-hungry sprite bound to his life force.
Every step forward drains his energy, and every mistake could expose them both to the ruthless enforcers of Eastern law.
Survival in the lawless frontier means keeping Riven hidden, but she has other ideas. Chaos follows wherever she flits, and Luke soon realizes that her power could be the key to unlocking greater secrets—or dooming them both.
The East hunts creatures like her, branding them as abominations. The West sees opportunity, eager to exploit whatever magic they can control.
Caught between rival factions and a bond he never asked for, Luke must decide: will he fight to sever the tether binding them, or embrace the unpredictable magic at his fingertips?
The frontier offers no mercy. Will he master the chaos, or will it consume him?"
"Some bonds cannot be broken.
Peter never expected to discover his true heritage in a remote frontier town. Now, weeks after sealing a feral dungeon near Velstyn with his companions Elara and Nyxara, he faces an even greater challenge. Strange rumors echo through taverns of monsters moving with frightening coordination. Mysterious symbols point to Peter's forgotten Drakonnen lineage.
When the trio discovers a new dungeon radiating dark magic, they realize this threat is as dangerous or more so than the previous challenge which almost killed them.
Peter must embrace his dormant Drakonnen powers to free the dungeon from corruption. With Elara's celestial magic and Nyxara's brutal combat skills at his side, he delves into the heart of darkness and encounter another whose blood calls to Peter’s.
Peter’s quest grows more perilous when mercenaries hired by an empire with ancient grudges against House Drakonnen hunt them from the shadows.
Each step deeper reveals more about Peter's mysterious heritage and the women who stand beside him.
Will Peter master his awakening draconic nature in time to save Velstyn? Or will the shadows of an ancient bloodline doom them all to oblivion?"
"Blood awakens. Destiny follows.
Peter arrives in Velstyn with nothing but inherited blades and a secret heritage. When he saves a blacksmith's family from feral wolves with flickers of mysterious power, locals bestow upon him an unexpected title: 'Lord Taraskharn.' Peter wants to understand the strange power awakening within him.
Ancient dungeons awaken. Monsters roam the countryside. A gladiatorial pit forces captives to fight for entertainment.
After infiltrating the underground arena, Peter discovers Nyxara, a fearsome Dark Elf warrior enslaved as the pit's champion. His search for answers leads him to Elara, a half-elf healer whose Celestial powers mysteriously resonate with his own hidden abilities.
The unlikely trio must navigate treacherous elven politics while battling increasingly powerful monsters. Through shared danger, bonds form between them—connections that transcend mere alliance.
Failure means Velstyn falls to darkness, leaving the dormant power in Peter's blood another forgotten legend.
Will Peter embrace his heritage and become the leader Velstyn desperately needs? Or will ancient enemies ensure the Dragon's blood remains forever dormant?"

"From dungeon depths to the spotlight's glare, Luther Miller's rise as the league's new hero is as perilous as it is meteoric.
Rookie sensation Luther Miller is disrupting the World Dungeon Exploration Association, vaulting from obscurity to stardom after his staggering win in the Ultimate Four.
Fans and foes alike are clamoring to know: Who is this enigmatic dungeon diver, and how did he achieve the impossible?
Yet, the shadow of tragedy hangs heavy; can Luther outmaneuver the legacy of Malcolm's death and forge a new path for his team amidst a maelstrom of media frenzy?
With a dungeon core bound to his soul and a world watching, Luther is on the brink of greatness—or ruin. As he forms new alliances and delves into treacherous dungeons abroad, powerful forces emerge. A corrupt bureaucrat, a corporate siren, and alien outlaws—all hungry for the secrets Luther holds.
Will Luther's unyielding spirit be enough to protect his secrets and safeguard his friends?
Dive into the adventure, where the line between hero and outlaw is as thin as a dungeon's wall."
"Powerful heroes attract loyal friends and lethal enemies.
Luther formed a permanent party, defeated corrupt officials and forged alliances with new aliens, all while avoiding the attention of the Voltaxians. Everything is going perfectly. Fame, glory, and money are all his.
When a man has been climbing the ranks as quickly as Luther, can he reach the summit before someone pulls him down?
Twin opportunities arise to improve the party's standing, a unique battle challenge among the glittering excesses of Las Vegas and the exploration of a new dungeon in a frozen wasteland barely touched by humanity. Everyone expects Luther and his Team Cowboy to keep setting records.
Threats lurk in the shadows both in and out of the dungeons. Obsessed and jealous humans are ready to do whatever it takes to humiliate Luther. Worse, enigmatic aliens not bound by human morality are ready to sacrifice Luther and his friends for their own mysterious ends.
When the time comes, will Luther sacrifice everything to save his friends?"
"The aliens didn't conquer Earth. They negotiated exclusive streaming rights instead.
Unbeknownst to humanity, the powerful Voltaxians controlled the galaxy, their vast empire fueled by their monopoly on mana. Humanity feared invasion, only to find out the godlike aliens had something far different in mind.
The Voltaxians offered a simple deal. Allow them to set up dungeons controlled by living intelligent dungeon cores on Earth to generate mana, and they'd share the wealth.
Dungeon explorers push into these intelligent dungeons and battle the monsters inside. All the while, these dungeon diving exploits are streamed and broadcast around the world and even into the galaxy via the alien-owned Dungeon Core TV.
A man used to be able to get by with loyalty and a strong back.
Luther Miller has little interest in dungeon diving. His father sacrificed their family ranch to send him to school. He's done his best to honor that sacrifice by devoting himself to his finance job in New York City. When his father passes way, Luther questions if his career is the best way to carry on the family name.
Family honor and intergalactic revenge intertwine in the dark depths of the dungeon."
