About this listen
A powerful dungeon. A sheep-herder turned Noble. Their path to ascendance through cultivation.
Conquering dungeons and using them to grow has long been the most efficient way to become a powerful adventurer. The only thing keeping the process from being easy is the Beasts that inhabit these places. Questions plague those entering this particular place of power: Where do the "rewards" of weapons, armor, and heavy gold coins come from? Why is a fluffy bunny charging at me? For abyss-sake, why are there so many monsters?
Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Core, a soul forced against his will into a magical stone. With the help of an energetic friend, Cal grows a dungeon around himself to bring in new sources of power.
When a threat he doesn't fully comprehend bares its many teeth, Cal is determined to survive the attempt on his life. Unfortunately for adventurers, the only way for him to achieve his goal is to eat anyone that enters his depths.

The decision to start a new life is never an easy one, but for Joe the transition was far from figurative. Becoming a permanent addition to a game world, it doesn't take long to learn that people with his abilities are actively hunted. In fact, if the wrong people gained knowledge of what he was capable of, assassins would appear in droves.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

An inn is a place to rest, a place to talk and share stories, a place to find adventure, or a starting ground for quests and legends. It is in this world, at least. To Erin Solstice, an inn seems like a medieval relic from the past. But here she is, running from Goblins and trying to survive in a world full of monsters and magic. She’d be more excited about all of this if everything wasn’t trying to kill her. But an inn is what she’s found, and so that’s what she becomes; an innkeeper, who serves drinks to heroes and monsters. Mostly monsters. But it’s a living, right?

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Fun Story,
A fun Literary RPG type story told from the perspective of the dungeon and one of the adventurers exploring it. My main complaint is the narrator has a bad habit of screaming into the mic randomly, especially at the beginning. A lot of of the voices are over the top, shrill, and forced, though I'm impressed with the wide range he is able to characterize.

Great start for a fantasy series
I was hooked within minutes. What a blast! Never a dull moment in this book.
The stories revolves around Cal and Dale. Cal is a new born dungeon. With the help of his bonded wisp, Dani, his sole focus is to become a stronger dungeon. Like a newborn baby, he has no knowledge of the world. He sees everything with child like fascination and curiosity. He doesn't kill for fun or malice, he is born to kill the explorers that enter him. Watching him grow as a dungeon is absolutely fascinating.
Dale is a sheep herder that first discovered Cal, taking ownership of him and the mountain he resides on. Within moments of his introduction, he does something that made me question his person. When the only other surviving member of the group refuses to share the dungeon ownership, Dale kills him. From then on, everything he does I took with a grain of salt. However, through fantastic character development, he redeems himself as a person though I still preferred reading Cal's storyline.
This is a fantastic introduction into a world full of mystic beings and endless possibilities of magic. I can't wait to get started on the next book.

I was hooked instanly
I originally picked this up as a deal of the week. I did not know what to expect. I loved it from start to finish. Krout's narrative through out the novel can be a little campy at times but it just adds to the enjoyment. Vikas Adam makes this book with his performance and it truly is that a performance.
In the novel you follow the intertwined lives of Cal and Dale one is a newly formed Dungeon Core who with the help of his trusty Wisp Danni is just trying to grow and survive in the hard world. The other is a Sheppard whose life is altered when he and his fellows find a resource that is sure to attract adventures from all over the land a neutral affinity dungeon.
In a word this book if fun. I have listened to it 10-15 times since i picked it up.
Great Job Dakota....
