The Divine Dungeon

Dakota Krout

For centuries, adventurers have entered dungeons in search of monsters, treasure, and power—but few have wondered where those dangers and rewards come from. Cal knows the answer: he is a Dungeon Heart, a sentient magical core slowly building a living labyrinth around himself. With the help of an unlikely ally, he learns to shape monsters, devise traps, and expand his domain, even as a growing threat forces him to fight for his survival. Blending dark humor, inventive worldbuilding, and progression-fantasy adventure, the novel offers a fresh perspective on the classic dungeon-crawling tale by making the dungeon itself the protagonist.
