Elemental Dungeon

Ryan awakens as a nascent dungeon core with fragmented memories of a rather 'unpleasant' past involving the church. Now a darkness dungeon, he must arm his new domain with devious traps and skeletal minions from scratch. His immediate goal is to survive, protect his budding territory, and perhaps prove that not all darkness dungeons are inherently malevolent, despite his own darkly humorous inclinations.

Ryan is a snarky, morally grey protagonist with a penchant for dark humor and a surprising amount of affection for his creations. Despite his transformation into a non-human entity, his human memories, though fragmented, continue to shape his unique and often antiheroic perspective.

This series charts a compelling weak-to-strong progression fantasy, following Ryan's evolution from a vulnerable core to a formidable force. Across all books, he navigates complex moral dilemmas, the challenges of protecting his growing domain, and the constant struggle against external threats and his own antiheroic nature. The narrative, often told through multiple perspectives, explores themes of identity, purpose, and the unexpected bonds formed in the face of adversity, all delivered at a fast pace.
