Mirabelle works late into the night. This is a project unlike any other which she has undertaken, but she has no choice. In a sense, she feels like she’s ready to get started with her business, somehow. Though, she still hasn’t ever spoken to a single person, let alone tried to sell anyone an...

The painting is a little sad, honestly.
Mirabelle hovers by the front window of the shoemaker’s shop, staring at the old man who is sitting there, gazing at the portrait of a woman which is hung up next to himself.
The old man never speaks, apart from whe...

Hello, making a FINAL CORE poll for all tiers today!
Some feedback has left me wondering if I should make some larger adjustments, particularly on the topics of pacing (Are we currently too fast?) and the subject of Isaiah’s desire to get stronger. (Are we currently too bloodth...

“Using a bathroom in the dungeon?
Well… it’s kind of awkward.
I mean, as an adventurer, you kind of just do what you have to do, you know?
But it’s also a real problem in a way that’s hard to explain. I’m not a shy person or anything, m...

The most terrifying dungeon in the world is undoubtedly the Bleakwater-Abyss.
Situated roughly one kilometer outside of the coast off of Ruby Bay, on the western shore of the far-eastern continent, the Bleakwater-Abyss is the world’s only current existing ocean dungeon. Sitti...

Hineni leisurely strolls down the street, his eyes rising up towards the night sky.
The air is warm and fresh, carrying with it a light dew that feels nice on the skin of his face. Many lights glow with an orange hue, shining out of the many windows that he walks by.

From the perspective of the creatures which live inside of a dungeon, one might assume that they simply view this as a very mundane existe...

Pressure.
What you need to always consider as an adventurer is the concept of pressure.
The deeper you move down into the world, down many floors of a dungeon, one might notice a popping of the ears eventually. This is pressure.
When one moves to a...

What is a dungeon-core, exactly?
Here is what we know, based on the results of examinations conducted during several dungeon demolition events.
A dungeon-core is to be considered as a living entity, in that it is ‘alive’ in the same sense as any other monster...

Dungeons, as far as we know, have little use for such an abstract thing as money. Yet, they are brim full of it.
Monsters carry coins. Chests are filled with heaps of precious stones and jewels. Mountains of Obols can be found laying around in seemingly random corners and place...

Every dungeon has more than just tricks and traps and silly, little goblins.
As is customary for their sort, each dungeon has an established pattern of floor design. Typically, there are normal floors, challenge floors and boss floors. However, not all dungeons hold themselves ...
