Dungeon Born
Dungeon Born | Dakota Krout
5 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
For eons, conquering dungeons has been the most efficient way to become a strong adventurer. Although, not everything is as straightforward as it seems. Several questions have always plagued the mind of those that enter these mythical places of power: Why are there so many monsters? Where does the amazing weaponry and heavy gold coins come from? Why does the very air fill with life-giving energies?! Cal has all of the answers to these age old questions, for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Heart, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone. After several lonely years, Cal was able to regain sentience, allowing him to form new memories while slowly growing a dungeon around himself. With help from a friend, Cal learned how to create monsters and traps, increasing his power and size quickly. When a threat to his existence rears its head, Cal decides that he will do anything to stay alive and become stronger. Unfortunately for treasure-seekers, the fastest way for Cal to achieve his goal... is to eat anyone that enters his depths.

📚📚📚 A short LitRPG/GameLit book where the soul of a man named Cal is forced into a gemstone by Necromancers and he has to learn how to level up himself and build a dungeon around him to capture things. Quick, easy read that gamers new and old - think D&D - will like for a palate cleanser and younger audiences, as young as middle grade, can easily get into.

It had been so long since I bought this, and I didn't bother to reread the description, so going in to the story I had no idea that the book would be from the dungeon's perspective... but I absolutely loved that it was! Cal, the Dungeon Heart, was a hilarious, naive and curious character and the bond between him and Danny was both adorable and funny in it's own way.

Dale was also a brilliant character. He was as ambitious as he was naive...

I regret having waited so long to read this book, and I'll definitely be reading the rest of the series just as soon as I can get my hands on them!

From the description I didn't expect this book to be about the dungeon itself, and yet that is one of the things I love most! This is such a strange but amazing book so far.

A book from the perspective of the dungeon rather than the spelunkers, with some humans that shows how it grows. Cal, the dungeon, learns about himself, and his past in this great book.
