About this listen
Join the LitRPG adventures of a Dungeon dragged out of its own body on a quest it never wished to be a part of.
A dungeon’s sleep is never easy.
After getting reincarnated as a dungeon, Theodor thought he’d finally get some rest and relaxation. That changed when a bumbling old hero stumbled into him and died, making Theodor the target of adventurers everywhere.
Masquerading as a house in the small town of Rosewind, Theo must now do whatever it takes to remain unnoticed… even if it means creating an avatar to interact with people or go on a mission set by the annoying Earl Rosewind!
Don't miss this new LitRPG by bestseller L. Eclaire, filled with humor, heart, lovable characters, dungeon core elements, stats, and everything lovers of LitRPG expect! Perfect for fans of Elemental Dungeon, The Divine Dungeon, and Delve.

Story
Jerry the Necromancer decides to follow the unique approach of befriending his undead. Ostracized by his fellow villagers, hunted by bandits, and watched by the Royal Guard's least elite squad, Jerry is called to balance creating a lovely home with practicing his craft and unleashing death and destruction on his enemies. Unfortunately, taking it slow is not an option. Wizard supremacists tour the Kingdom, Archmages enact devious plans, and the world needs Jerry more than his village does. Adventure calls—death is overrated, anyway.

But when the coauthors find themselves its three newest adventurers—trapped in the perilous landscape of their own creation—they realize that not all is as they intended. With their story gone rogue and filling in plot holes the authors couldn't have imagined, the three must learn how to level up, allocate skill points, and use their class abilities to endure a world filled with deadly foes.

Story
When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest. She is granted both, though in the harshest way possible. The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.

Story
Planet Earth's greatest artist, Marcus Korol, crashes on the surface of Grimworld, a planet with a base-building system, which Marcus has to master in order to survive and prosper. Even if he can cope with the monsters there are slavers and cannibals nearby. Staying alive, let alone prospering, is a daunting challenge that even a battle-hardened general would find difficult. Yet perhaps art can succeed where warfare would fail.

Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived. It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive. They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

Kole always wanted to be a wizard, a dream that grew into an obsession when his parents disappeared on an adventure. The son of two powerful magical heritages, Kole was hailed as a prodigy at an early age. But a head start is of little use if you're tied to the starting gate. When his mother's magic manifested after he'd already embarked on the path to wizardry, he found he had only a singular powerful magical ability—to turn invisible.

This fourth wall-breaking, three-book collection showcases Jackson's adventures through fantasy realms, comic book universes, and classic space opera settings. Each fast-paced novel allows Jackson to flex his powers, skills, and wits as he exploits the rules, points out the respective genre's flaws, and undermines godly authority to win the day. All the while laughing at the expense of our beloved tropes. Because that is what villains should do, shouldn’t they?

Our magic crystals are growing. People arrive in the village faster than we can make room for them, but at least they find plenty to do here—from building the village to guarding the border against attacks by bandits and monsters. And not just any monsters, but monsters that haven't been seen in this neighborhood before. Is that a coincidence? Or are rumors of something going on outside the borders of the Empire not just rumors? Whatever's behind them, I'll deal with it!
