Spark in the Ruins: A Sentient Dungeon Core

Waking up as a dungeon core wasn’t on Splinter’s to-do list.

No body. No memory. Just a sarcastic fairy, a broken interface—and too many skeletons.

Trapped beneath the ruins of a failed Bureau experiment, Splinter’s got no monsters, no traps, and barely enough mana to glow. But when a young mage stumbles in with bandits on her tail, Splinter does something no dungeon’s ever done:

He chooses to fight.

From his first trap to his first minion, Splinter begins to evolve—not as a tool of control, but as a dungeon of free will. One that learns, adapts… and grows.

But the Bureau’s secrets run deep. And something ancient is watching from the dark.

He may be just a spark—but this dungeon won’t go quietly.
