Dug & Obu: A Goblin Dungeon Core Adventure
Community Rating
Description
A System Universe situated within the bows of the World Tree often finds itself beset by strange creatures appearing and being unable to leave. Often they are integrated seamlessly and even introduce new life into the System Worlds they find themselves on. Others are too powerful to integrate and are summarily destroyed or granted Sub-Administrator privileges in return for peace. This story explores what happens when both occur simultaneously.
Dug Shardaal, Sporemeister of the Gitbog finds himself in another world and far from home. If that wasn't enough his Obulwaag, his staff of office, has Awakened to Sapience as a result of the System. Awakened as a Dungeon Core, Obu finds herself excited to explore her new powers, having slumbered by her bonded creator for ages. Now Dug has to juggle a pushy System, Adventurers, divine agents, and a newly born Dungeon Core that sees him as a father figure. Goblin shenanigans ensue.
Author's Note:This story is based on an old character of mine that I have always wanted to bring to life. Combining him with one of my favorite genres just seemed right. This story will hopefully be as humorous for you to read as it is for me to write. My take on goblins are more the ugly lovable type with 67 different ways to say "borrow" and no ways to say "steal." I use the term Waag in my book to refer to the magic system goblins use. It is unique in its backstory but is loosely based on the Warhammer word the orcs use for their craziness. While they sound similar my term is fully fleshed out in its own way and is not meant to be a rip off in anyway. Regardless, Waag is an actual word and I am using it.
Release Dates:My main story will continue to beTiny Dungeonso this story will be released whenever I have a new chapter. I will attempt to post a chapter everySaturday.

- MultiRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Really enjoying the multiple POV and how we get to see the system from someone just at the beginning as well as someone so powerful that they are beyond it. The plot is looking interesting as well with a good spot on the macro of the world and the minor of the area around the dungeon itself
- ShadowKnight6992Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Good start
the character seems interesting and his skills with spores are going to be fun to explore.
the plot isn’t developed enough to see but so far it looks interesting.
the grammar is good, the Mc’s grammer is Warhammer Ork talk so just a heads up and don’t complain, to learn “ya gotta forgit wut evah dum 'umie youz learn'd, an' just 'get rioght and proppa orky!” - thebetterkevinRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0If you enjoy a good laugh, you should read this novel. It is a unique twist on the dungeon core genre, and the characters are endearing and having a good time. The story takes a "bulldozer" approach to problems, upturning shenanigans with every plow. The result is a pile-up of issues that keep the story moving forward. The characters are filled with emotion, which makes the story even more enjoyable.
Be warned: Some of the dialogue is heavily stylized but not to the point of misunderstanding. For me, it was pretty easy to read and didn't mess up the flow of the story.
