The Core's Origin

Self-Published

Community Rating

Description

Dungeons. They are an integral part of so many stories and worlds. They can be the foundation of an economy, a place for the weak to grow strong, or a threat to the entire world.

Nearly as common as the idea of a dungeon, is the concept of a dungeon core. However, where did dungeon cores first come from? Are they just a natural occurrence? When did they start to appear?

This is the story of the first dungeon core.

Really just a phenomenal story. Without spoiling the ending and what it sets up, wow is it super fun and super cool to have this as head cannon for anything else.
characters are fun and add to the story. POVs are interesting. Magic system makes sense and feels logical and fair. Really enjoyed the story and binged this in a few days

thumbs up
Covers the origin of dungeons, gods, dragons, phenoxies, other fantasy races, then sets the ground work for a Godsfall and system. I hope this series doesn't go on hiatus and I can't wait for the Patreon to follow.
I'm glad that another good royal road book is being made, this one feels like another Mother of Learning or Mark of the Fool.

A read well worth the time.
There are very few stories where I personally stand till the end and even more rarely am satisfied with the ending.
This is one of the select few that genuinely gave a satisfying and well thought out closer to the story.
So, author thank you for this wonderful story.

A dungeon core story, with system and numbers, but from the other side. It's an interesting concept and very well-written story, with a satisfying pace throughout and a satisfying conclusion. I read it all in a couple of days and didn't feel any boredom or fatigue for the story at any point.
I highly recommend it !

This is a wonderful story that expands upon the creation of the system trope. It provides a unique perspective on the history/beginnings of the system trope. I recommend that anyone who finds this slightly interesting read it as it is quite short and provides an excellent alternate explanation to ponder.

The first great thing about this story is how a dungeon was created it gave an amazing explanation that I will not spoil.
The second great thing is how it fleshed out the dungeon motivation and powers. It gave amazing explanations most of the way.
1 Problem you may have with this story is that it's exponentially increases with speed. If you're expecting anything like a slow burn, it is not. It starts off slow but gains speed fast.

At first I thought I would just write a comment at the end of the last chapter, but the author clearly deserves a positive review. The story starts slowly but quickly picks up speed. Unlike existing novels, it has its own original ideas about dungeons. Although the concept of "no system" is not new, but the author managed to show the philosophy of the dungeon from new points of view: namely, the rewards to make it easier for the core to create an "ideal human farm". So, I read the novel in two days. I was fascinated by this work. Almost perfect. I thank the author for such a short story and hope for regular updates. Definitely subscribing for updates and waiting for the continuation.
Unfortunately, I cannot assess the level of grammar, as I only speak English at the B2 level
But in terms of the plot, I can definitely only recommend this novel for reading. It's really something new and in my favorite dungeon core style
and, of course, the assessment of dungeon monsters: so far everything is within the standards and nothing new, but what else can we expect from the newly born first core? But all delvers are very original and interesting

It actually surprised me at how good this turned out to be.
I’ve read many dungeon core series and was looking for something a little out of the ordinary after Dragonheart Core and saw this one mentioned on Reddit. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before.
definitely recommend for anyone remotely interested in dungeon core series.

I don't think I've written many reviews. This is my second?? I rarely do so because I don't read much completed novels, but this is indeed a COMPLETED one. That in itself is an accomplishment. Now I'm not sure how to structure this, I'll just write whatever:
Going into this novel, I wasn't expecting too much... there was indeed a slow beginning, but slowly transitioned to a nicer, smoother pacing. Perspectives changes often to multitudes of characters, some dying off quickly, some persisting throughout the story, which characterizes them, making them less 2D. I would say it was a lot more telling than showing, as it's a dungeon core novel, focusing on the aspect of growing, improving, and becoming more encompassing. Of course, there are still some actions and showing when perspective changes from the core to other characters. I still want to clarify the style is lengthy in details and telling. Grammar isn't a problem in my eyes as an avid reader and somewhat competent English student.
As for the story itself, it is indeed about a Core's Origin. Not much to say because I don't really know how to write things without spoiling aside from the style and way of writing from the author. One thing I can mention is that the there are many time skips towards the end and the story essentially follows a core growing up to become a master of the universe, encompassing all concepts one may think. It's a solid story.
p.s I didn't touch upon everything but I think it's passable enough for a review.
