The Misadventures of a Gunslinger Who Can’t Shut Up [LitRPG/Dungeon]

OnicCanWrite
Noah Smith is many things: a top-tier MOBA gamer, a smart-mouthed slacker, and a master at rage-quitting life one dungeon at a time. But when a late-night boss battle ends with more than just a digital death screen—he gets dragged into a glitched-out reality that calls itself the Endless Dungeon. Now he’s stuck in a world that looks like fantasy, runs like a game, and punishes like a boot camp from hell. No reset buttons. No respawns. Just endless floors of monsters, traps, loot... and a weird psychic narrator in silk robes who insists she’s his “guide.” Armed with nothing but sarcasm, twin pistols, and the combat instincts of a caffeinated raccoon, Noah wakes up branded with the Gunslinger subclass—basically a walking highlight reel of trick shots, bullet storms, and reckless finesse. Precision? Optional. Style? Mandatory. But there’s a catch. There’s always a catch. Each floor is a world of its own. The monsters evolve. The dungeon remembers. And the further he climbs, the more broken the rules get. Turns out, the dungeon wasn’t made to be beaten. It was made to break people. Good thing Noah doesn’t shut up long enough to get scared. With Eve, his emotionally unavailable brain-voice of a guide, dragging him through one suicidal floor after another, Noah’s about to find out what happens when a gamer with nothing left to lose becomes the wildcard in a game no one wins. Will he survive the flaming death lizards, eldritch loot mimics, and passive-aggressive dungeon AI? Probably not. But he’ll talk trash until the very end. He came for the leaderboard. He stayed because he clicked the cursed button. Now he’s got bullets, banter, and no idea what he’s doing. Welcome to the misadventure.

Star Wars: The Age of Peace

Fifty years after the Battle of Yavin, the galaxy finds itself in a fragile state of recovery. Scarred by the Yuuzhan Vong War and Darth Caedus’s reign, countless worlds and individuals struggle to rebuild from decades of devastation. Amid the fractured alliances of the reformed New Republic, the Imperial Remnants, and independent coalitions, the Jedi Order stands as a beacon of hope. On Yavin 4, the Jedi Temple serves as a sanctuary for Force-sensitive children, offering them a chance to heal and find purpose. Among the new arrivals is Kael Varo, formerly Kael Valtherion, a boy who abandoned his Imperial noble heritage to embrace the path of the Jedi. Alongside him is Vila Saresh, a twi'lek freed from slavery, haunted by her past but determined to find a brighter future. As these Padawans confront their own traumas, they uncover the lingering echoes of ancient threats: Sith artifacts, Yuuzhan Vong technology, and the ideological scars left by Darth Caedus, still twisting others, even after his death. Guided by the wisdom of Grandmaster Luke Skywalker, the young Jedi must learn that being a Jedi is not merely about mastering the Force but about finding unity and courage in a galaxy still divided. ------ Author's notes: Hey-ho people! Welcome to my Star Wars fanfiction, which is told from a first-person point of view. For a bit of background information and what to expect, you must know a few things about me: My first introduction to Star Wars was on VHS, so I am not a newcomer to the setting. I was a child when there was only the trilogy and a teen when the prequels happened. I grew up reading the Expanded Universe and with the stories and exploits of Luke. This story of mine will take place in 50 ABY, right after the Expanded Universe mostly stopped producing stories. Writing it, anything that happened after the Disney acquisition is going to be ignored. This even includes the Mandalorian series because no matter how good the first season was, it was built on a foundation made out of sand. Proof: Book of Boba Fett and the third season. I'll try my very best to stay true to the original vision of what made Star Wars so captivating. Expect weekly chapters!
