The Sentient Dungeon Core

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.
