Dungeon Hunter
MM Allo/Ace LitRPG
Glitched stats. Ultra luck. Regression foreknowledge. A god's blessing. Dual minds.
Lee Castillo has none of these. He does, however, have panic attacks.
When every human around the world is registered as a "player," Lee is sitting across from his ex-best friend and flatmate, Axel, mentally practicing how to break it to him that he wanted to move out.
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 lacklustre system stats.
As he delves into the secrets of the Dungeons alongside his increasingly bizarre party, Lee must confront both his past and future to divine what he truly wants.

Inspired by ORV, The S-Classes I Raised, SSS-Class Suicide Hunter, Survival of a Sword King, and Dungeon Reset, Dungeon Hunter is basically my response to other MCs and their ride-or-die besties never canonically falling for each other. The story also asks the question: Is a main character made or born?

[Act I has been edited, remastered, and published and is purchasable on multiple platforms. It is not available on KU because I disagree with their exclusivity and their practices on a whole. I have not stubbed this because I understand some people don't have the extra cash for leisure items. The published version is just better.]
