Description

[I was reborn as a dungeon-core and forgot what life was really about until I remembered that it wasobviouslyabout violence! (So I made a grand colosseum for the greatest champions of humanity to fight to the death in)]

Being taken from another world, the soul named Munera finds itself reborn as the beating heart of a wild dungeon – an entity known as a Dungeon-Core. With nothing to do but watch humans fight against one another and against itself, confused about its new purpose in this other world and ‘body’ – that is actually a complicated network of underground tunnels and chambers rather than a simple construct of flesh and bone – Munera comes to the obvious conclusion that life is about nothing else other than gratuitous violence and the assertion of dominance over lesser beings!

Taking this to the next level, it sets out to find out everything about fighting, combat, and the ascension to power and purpose through raw strength, cunning tactics, and sly strategy by creating a grand arena, a colosseum. In this newly formed underground labyrinth, the blood-hungry entity imprisons countless humans, monsters, elves, and all manner of beings with the intent to make them fight against one another with sword and magic and in contests of cunning and wit in order to prove the validity of the pursuit of purpose through raw power of many shapes.

Will its confused quest and methods succeed in pressing out the distilled essence of life from the bones of its new gladiators through the filter of challenges and nightmares? Or will it lose control over its prisoners as they band together with one another, its own domain crumbling with this violence turning its way instead? Find out in the latest novel from trending fantasy and isekai author D.M. Rhodes!

There are many dungeon core stories. This is not them. It's obviously still very early but it seems like this story is going to focus around a sentient dungeon that wants to watch people fight. So it brings the dead back to life in order for them to fight. Their reward is freedom from the dungeon. I get the sense that there will be a sense of community among the fighters. They will grow over time and you will see multiple layers of what's happening in the dungeon. I'm going to keep reading. Well written.

Second fiction he's released this month! I worry for our favourite word smith. Oh right, review. Premise is as I understand it, guy gets reborn as dungeon core and decides to make fight club. Only read the first chapter (Only chapter currently out) so I don't know how I'll feel about it later but currently it has my interest so lets see if Razz can hook me on another of his stories. Not difficult, considering Razz writes LitRPG, i.e, the best genre. I like numbers, did you know that guy? Especially 3, and not because of any owls, I just like the number, ok?! Oh, that's not relevant to the review, huh? Uh, 5/5, Razz words always end up being good, if not always what is typically liked here on RR. But his words hold a special place in my heart. Don't hate on Razz till you've read more than a few chapters! Give him a chance, ok?

One of the best shorter stories I have read. This dungeoncore perfectly mixes comedy, dark situations, and charming characters to create a truly enjoyable read.
It is such a unique take on a dungeon core story, with the core being a being very uniquely human and not. As well as the particular power and motivation that this dungeon holds to just see interesting fights and competitions.
The story is just as interesting being able to follow multiple different perspectives as they deal with this situation interspersed with running jokes and funny situations.
Grammer is exceptional as what you would expect from such an experienced author. I have not had a problem with any of their stories.
Characters are also unique and interesting with the relationships and story lines really driving the story to new heights as we watch multiple paths.
Overall an 11/10 story fantastic theme story and most importantly COMEDY! Although it will occasionally be incredibly dark. I have not laughed this much in a while. I would recommend any person enjoying a good story spend the hour plus it takes to read this story. Some notable moments include skeleton boning, hero verses demon queen go fish, and skeleton work place abuse.

This is just my cup of tea, unfortunately, the story seems to be on hiatus but I'll be here If It ever comes back. Great story with cool and funny characters. I love the dungeon core In this as well, It's just looking for entertainment both for himself and the viewers. Btw I still think the demon queen and the hero will end up together.

I like the story and the style of the story and the other things that work so far keep up the good work and stuff. Something word I need 50 words yippy so cool or something like that three trees bees nearby the stream. Oh my eyes hurt yourself in a pizza yes? I'm on fire sword

The tale of Munera, a dungeon core that chose not to let people die in its boundaries, is not really about Munera as much as it is about lives of those trapped within it and of the society that must contend with what it all means. It's a still a progression fantasy, with people (and a core) growing in power, but it's really more about character growth than most stories on Royal Road.
But don't let that fool you that it's not a deeply cracked, funny story. The author was a really warped sense of humor that I love, and it's worth reading everything they write. Just know that the ending will be satisfying too (unlike stories that go 8 books without one in sight).

The first chapter is the only one out so I will based it off it. A dungeon that watched a combat and creates a colosseum is an interesting idea but they way it was written felt rushed and there's little world building that's a minus for me but in general an interesting premise that hopefully will develop further

AI slop, avoid at all costs. It was obvious based on the description. So then i checked the reviews and it is filled with suspicious 5 stars who's progress is on chapter one. Make sure to check tags everyone! Don't let AI jerks flood the site.
