[This is a dungeon story where the Protagonist is the dungeon master, and not the core itself]
Everyone desires simpler ways to improve themselves, and the demons capitalised on this. Exchanging aid for the mystical energy, mana, both sides found a simple trade in poor taste.
Soon after, the dungeons appeared.
Another demon, different from the usual, takes on a risk. Inside resides a human from Earth, utterly bored with the monotony of life his prior life. Now finding himself thrust into a new, dangerous world; one where a noose always hangs around his neck. A secret shrouds the world around him, always kept an arm's length away, and only catching sight of the edges. However, running a dungeon is far from simple.
Will he fall like most, stagnate like some, or ascend through the skies like few?

This is an extremely slow paced novel. It places a lot of focus on the world outside the dungeon, in fact even more than the dungeon itself.
Due to said slow pacing, this version of the novel is being placed on Hiatus so that I can rewrite the slow starting bits of the story. Would probably be done by now if I hadn't plunged headfirst into a LitRPG prog fantasy idea, which is pretty cool and a lot less slow paced. Will be releasing soon!
