Dungeon Heart
The Emperor of the Forge, Sage of Stones—meaningless titles in the face of death.
After more than seven hundred years, he was expecting a peaceful and lonely end to his long life. That, however, was not meant to be. A single choice changed his fate, and his soul was forced to live again as a dungeon. Reborn but shackled to the heart of a mountain, this old soul has lost everything—and more.
In a world of gods and demons, there is no room for a weak newborn dungeon. Now with a new name, Smit and his creations will have to carve out their own place. The path may be long and dangerous, but with a soul hardier than stone and a will stronger than iron, will he be able to forge his own destiny?

Give this one a read—you won't regret it for a second!" — James A. Hunter, Bestselling Author of Rogue Dungeon, Bibliomancer, and Viridian Gate Online

For fans of expansive worlds, intricate plots, and protagonists who are as flawed as they are compelling, Dungeon Heart offers an immersive experience. It’s not just about the thrill of the adventure; it’s about the personal growth that comes with every trial. This is a series that rewards patience and introspection, where every victory is earned, and every setback fuels the quest to uncover what lies beyond the next corner of the dungeon.
