The Sentient Dungeon Core

SamuelWilson
one minute, Alex was probably arguing about spreadsheets or microwaving leftover pizza. The next, BAM! System Apocalypse hits, and instead of getting cool superpowers, his soul gets yanked into the freshly formed heart of a dungeon. Talk about a cosmic wrong number. Now, he's this immobile, glowing core in the dark, feeling the first skittering claws of monsters he's somehow attracting. Survival isn't about fighting anymore; it's about building a fight. He's got to learn to shape his rocky prison, lay down traps, and figure out how to communicate with the bewildered (and often bloodthirsty) adventurers stumbling into his depths. But Alex isn't just a rock. He's got a human mind in there, slowly processing this insane reality. And as he grows, the dungeon grows with him, becoming less a random cave and more a reflection of his thoughts and experiences. Then come the others the Lyras, the Rorics, the Elaras drawn by the dungeon's unique aura or the promise of loot. These aren't just fodder for his traps; they become his unlikely allies, his hands and feet in a world he can no longer touch. Together, this bizarre found family will have to face down not just rampaging monsters but the bigger mysteries of the System itself, and maybe, just maybe, Alex can figure out why his soul got stuck in the basement of reality in the first place.

Married The Alpha My Twin Rejected

Ariana Cummings had always lived in the shadow of her golden twin, Elena — the beloved daughter, the pride of the Cummings family. Ariana, frail and forgotten, was deemed unworthy — until the day her father demanded the unimaginable: take Elena’s place and marry Alpha Darius of the Blackthorn Minor Pack. When Ariana refused, her father’s slap and her stepmother’s cruel words sealed her fate. With only six months to live, Ariana was offered like a sacrificial lamb to a ruthless Alpha. But what began as a prison became something unexpected — a life Ariana had never known: freedom, happiness... even love. Just as Ariana began to hope for a future, Elena returned. Furious and desperate, she tampered with Ariana’s medication once again, a betrayal that landed Ariana in the hospital — only to uncover a devastating truth: Ariana had never been sick. It was all a lie. While Ariana fought for her new life, another danger loomed. Alpha Dominic, the merciless leader of the villainous rogues, wanted Ariana for himself. Elena, imprisoned and broken, saw her chance at redemption — or perhaps revenge. She offered herself to Dominic, whispering: "I am Elena Cummings, Ariana's twin. I know everything you need to know about Alpha Darius and the Blackthorn Minor. We are of the same blood — I can be useful to you." But Alpha Dominic only sneered: "Or you're offering yourself as a price? Too bad you're just a shadow — Ariana is who we need. Drake! Give her to the rogues. Let them use her as they wish... they can even fuck her." Elena’s last, desperate cry echoed: "Alpha Darius won't let you have my sister! Ariana is pregnant and of no use. I can do anything for you — just accept me!"
