Chrysalis

In the immersive world of Chrysalis, the boundaries between life and death are far more fluid than one might imagine. When Anthony awakens in an unfamiliar world, reborn as a dungeon core, the laws of nature and existence are suddenly turned upside down. As he comes to grips with his new, unrecognizable form and environment, Anthony must navigate the perilous journey of survival, self-discovery, and evolution in a world where danger lurks around every corner.

Set in the richly detailed world of Pangera, Chrysalis crafts an atmosphere that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. The world-building is intricate, blending diverse species, magical systems, and the relentless struggles of dungeon life. As Anthony develops new abilities—like the monstrous power of 'Bite'—and learns to manipulate the environment around him, readers are taken on a journey that balances visceral combat with moments of quiet introspection.

At the heart of this series is a journey of growth—not just physical, but emotional and psychological. Anthony’s transition from a vulnerable dungeon core into something much more powerful mirrors the trials faced by anyone cast into an unknown world. As his abilities evolve and his dungeon grows, Anthony finds himself caught in the midst of complex relationships, both with other dungeon cores and with the creatures and humans around him. The story delves deep into themes of identity, power, and survival.

Chrysalis consists of six books — series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
