Dungeon Hunter
Start ReadingIs it aliens? Demons? Alternate dimensions?
Black holes are rippling into existence around the globe, and Lee Castillo’s panic attacks are back.
Just this morning, he’d been practicing how to tell his ex-best friend and flatmate Axel that he was potentially thinking about maybe moving out sometime soon or something.
And then the world as everyone knew it ended.
~System Loaded. Dungeons Active~
Now, Axel's personality has flipped on its head, all comms are down, and there's a foreign desire compelling Lee to enter the Dungeons despite his overwhelmingly lacklustre system stats.
As he delves into the secrets of the Dungeons alongside his growing party, Lee must confront both his past and future to divine what he truly wants.

[Act I has been published and is purchasable on multiple platforms. I am not stubbing this because it goes against my personal beliefs. The edited version has been polished up, and it just reads far better; 4-stars on Goodreads.]

Inspired by ORV, The S-Classes I Raised, SSS-Class Suicide Hunter, Survival of a Sword King, Doom Breaker, and Dungeon Reset, Dungeon Hunter is basically my response to other MCs and their ride-or-die besties never canonically falling for each other (as well as realising I can make all my character queer as hell).
