Description

A creeping vine with poison berries is caught up in the formation of a dungeon core and supplants the default consciousness. The dungeon core acts according to its instincts, whether supplied by the plant or by the System.

Paired with an irresponsible dungeon fairy and random creatures from the forest, will this vine-filled dungeon survive? Will it thrive? Will it cause the end of the world? Will it ever improve to the point it gains sapience? How many different dungeon creature mutations are there? Can we find even more questions?

Readers can expect

- artisanal, home-made cover art

- A non-omniscient, "mechanical" System

- No stat sheets

- Organic dungeon growth

- random selection is (mostly) done by generating random numbers. It's not all a show to drive the plot!

- 1000+ word chapters

Very interesting story, the main selling point of which I would say is the unique way the dungeon develops, following a very natural, but at the same time fantastical growth, creating very unique environments in the process, without a doubt it is a story worth reading for any fans of the dungeon core genre.

I think this is one of the best illustrations of a nonhuman mind that I've seen created by someone. The other characters are interesting to course, however the dungeon core itself is truly a fascinating thing to read about it's mine so far has been one of the most alien things I've seen a Royal Roads writer make while still remaining coherence, I'm really enjoying the story and I think if you like dungeon building and nonhuman mcs you will as well
