Dungeon Life: An Isekai LitRPG

Dungeon Life, Book 1

By: Khenal

Narrated by: Michael Gallagher

Length: 14 hrs and 55 mins

Publisher's summary

In the first book of this thrilling isekai adventure series, a human becomes a dungeon—and soon that dungeon becomes something much, much more . . .

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later.

Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right? Slowly but surely, the new dungeon learns the ropes, building himself up with scions of every creepy-crawly sort he can find; gathering mana; dealing with invaders, delvers, noobs, and annoying guild reps; and gradually becoming a local legend known as Thedeim (get it?).

The more Thedeim's power and reputation grows, the more he becomes a part of his new world—and the more its various denizens become a part of his. But how is a proper dungeon supposed to instill spine-shattering, mind-melting terror in a pack of questing adventurers when it's so much more fun to play along with them?

The first volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than seven million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Love this book.

I'm so happy for the author. I first heard this on YouTube and was disappointed when it disappeared, but then happy when I heard why. I can't wait for book 2.

Read this since it started on Reddit.

So very good. The narrator was the perfect person for the job. Looking forward to book 2.

Freakin awesome

I'm seriously loving the overall scheme, I haven't found a good book like this since I finished "Blue Core" so I've been looking hard. narrative is great and voices are very distinct. I can't gush enough about it and I'm looking forward to more.

great

one of the best dungeon core books I have read in awhile and the narration was great! too I can't wait for book two for sure following this author

Hard start but fantastic

Really hard start. Hard to keep my self listening, but about half way through it gets great. I can’t wait till book two. First in a series is always hard. Really really worth the read.

Fun Slice of Life Dungeon Core Story

I have read Khenal's story before it was published, listened to two people narrate on youtube, listened/suffered through a TTS program to boot and now I am listening on Audible. It is safe to say, I love this series.

This is a slife-of-life dungeon core story and is not a typical dungeon core where the adventurers are just fodder to level up the MC. The worldbuilding is also pretty good. If you want gore, you won't find it here. There are actions scenes but they aren't very flashy. The cast of characters will grow. If you think Book 1 has a LOT of characters by the end of it, there will be more. Not a requirement to keep track of them but they will pop up when the situation calls for it. This series will contain anthromorphic races - warning you ahead of time since I saw a review where the guy can't fathom a ratkin.

Michael Gallagher did very well in narrating the story but he is currently #2 in my personal ranking of narrators for this story. The reason for being #2 is because I have a fave character that #1 did well in conveying their personality. It is not a knock on Michael's work, I just currently prefer that guy's version. Whether or not he eventually moves up to #1 remains to be seen.

great narrator for a great story

10/10 story very enjoyable and laid back. Would recommend for those who like base building and such.

Great Story

I'm really looking forward to the next volume! It's a really chill fun listen.

It's interesting and a bit innovative

It's interesting in a bit innovative there were some really good parts to it and some cover ways of dealing with the differences between the course The only real problem was that there was a pronunciation problems other than not this was a good start to a good series

Finally!

Started listening to this story on a YouTube channel and have been waiting for this to come out. It’s such a great story and I can’t wait to listen to all of it. Characters are relatable, makes you wonder what you would do as a dungeon and just an all around great book
