Publisher's Summary

Ryan has died, been reborn as a dungeon core, defeated a necromancer, and made a number of friends along the way. Life, well un-life, is good.

However, everything changed when the demons attacked. With his dungeon town in danger and cultists scheming in the shadows, Ryan must decide whether to draw upon the darker side of his own nature - unlocking powers far greater than anything he has accessed before.

Something his new dungeon fairy seems suspiciously excited about. With his favorite adventurer, Blake, slowly accepting his new powers as a Specter of Balance, Ryan learns being a darkness dungeon means a lot more than just bones, zombies, and skeletal fight club. Apparently, the power granted by God of Death encompasses much, much more.

Unfortunately, Ryan learns the hard way that some things should remain dead....

good story I guess

I hate how the dungeon likes Blake so much
and how he does not use his power right all cause it's evil
FK me he kills people yet can not use their bodies as a monster
he relies on the adventure's to save his life I swear
basically. a failed dungeon in my opinion
also I dislike how dungeons are limited with mobs per floor
I hate happy friendly people living dungeon story
I understand the dungeon rules but they make the story limited

Better in some places than the first book but kinda eh

Right out the gate, the dungeon fairy Erin was the worst part of the first book and while is less whiney and overtly shrill than in the first book a problem in the book when a second fairy is introduced that bogs the book down in my mind. The idea of alignment being something people and most beings apart from dungeons (and even then not really a choice outside of Ryan) can’t really help, and one particular alignment, Chaos being a near kill on sight offence left a bad taste in my mouth. As less annoying Erin was at the start of the book is almost all undone as she is blatantly racist towards those with chaos alignment.

A trait people are born/awaken to and cannot really help and discriminated against based on that aspect alone, yeah I’d join a cult too. Even the new ‘creation’ of Chaos dungeons while terrible at first, when you take into account all dungeons kill people in order to grow the ethical high ground is quickly lost. At the end of the book is just feels like ‘Chaos bad because the followers of the church are racist and the dastardly chaos god and it’s followers commit the crave sin of not letting themselves be exterminated. Even in the lore it feels like the Light and their followers are the initial aggressors.

Soundbooth’s performance is mostly fine, but sometimes the background noice like a character laughing as the narrator describes the action can be a bit grating. While I won’t be refunding and feel it was worth the credit, I’m on the fence whether I’ll buy the next one. Anything bad the forces of chaos do doesn’t seem that bad when they were near exterminated and in this world to grow and level requires murder.
