Monsters in the Walls

Necrotic Vein
Book Two in the Dungeon Veins Saga

I leveled up my dungeon. Unlocked new rooms. Doubled my death traps. Life was good—until the ground cracked open and death started leaking in.

I’m Nightshard. Dungeon Core, part-time overlord, full-time killer of adventurers. After months of fending off loot-hungry idiots, I was finally expanding into fresh territory. More mana. More monsters. More mayhem.

Then a vein of necrotic mana surfaced.

It wasn’t mine. It wasn’t natural. And it’s whispering things I really shouldn’t be hearing.

Skeletons twitch in the dark. Corruption pulses in the walls. And when one kobold scout gets too close, something ancient stirs. Now I’m faced with a choice: drain the death-aspected energy and evolve... or seal it away and hope it doesn’t consume everything.

Raise the dead.
Upgrade your dungeon.
Embrace the rot…
Or be devoured by it.

Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Bones to the Wall, and The Slime Dungeon Chronicles, Necrotic Vein takes a darker turn where death isn’t the end—it’s just another tool.
