Dungeonheart Awakening
Book One of the Core Overlord Series

I died. Respawned as a glowing rock. Now I build dungeons and kill adventurers. Welcome to my afterlife.

When gamer and professional procrastinator Alex dies, he doesn’t expect to wake up again — especially not as a crystal hovering in a dank cave.

But fate has other plans. He's been reborn as a Dungeon Core, a magical entity that powers and protects a living dungeon. No body, no weapons — just mana, stone, and an attitude problem. Oh, and a sarcastic fairy named Twinkle who thinks he’s an idiot.

With monsters to summon, traps to build, and loot to bait greedy intruders, Alex — now Nightshard — must turn his tiny cave into a deadly labyrinth or risk permanent deletion.

  • Build your first room.



    Spawn your first goblin.



    Kill your first hero.



    Don’t die (again).



    Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Benoit the Anomaly, and Reborn as a Dungeon Core,Dungeonheart Awakening is a fast-paced, darkly funny LitRPG full of base-building, sarcastic banter, and brutal fun.
