    Man turned gremlin builds a magical dungeon, home to underdogs

    “Hey. Wanna buy a dungeon?”

    Kai looked up at the human salesman. He looked down at himself. At the salesman. At himself. At the salesman. In a tone that clearly asked, ‘Are you stupid?, he stated, “I’m a gremlin.”

    “Don’t you worry, sir. This here is a contract for purchase with payments deferred, with annual sums owing as a percentage of revenue. A starter plan for the discerning gentleman dungeon master.”

    Torn from a boring and unfulfilling human life on Earth, Kai was mysteriously sent to a new world and transformed into a gremlin for…reasons. He hasn’t figured that part out yet, but he sure as heck is going to punch whoever’s responsible in the frickin’ face one day. He’s also going to do just about whatever it takes to become human again.

    When a super shady salesman appears out of nowhere, offering to sell him a magical dungeon core with no down payment and no money upfront, a deal seemingly too good to be true, he’s starving at the time and more interested in the edible signing bonus. But when he finally gets around to planting the core, he truly is the proud new owner of a dungeon. Well, the start of one. He’s gonna have to level the puck out of it. If he gets it to 100 floors, the gods will grant any wish.

    Follow Kai as he builds the coolest, deadliest, most fun dungeon ever, with traps and treasures, monsters and mayhem. Even more importantly, filling it with a ragtag community of misfits and outsiders who come together to support each other and thrive. Maybe even teach them how to play hockey.

    Along the way, he might just learn a few things about life and how to make the most of it.

    What to expect:

    - Gamelit (levelling unlocks more dungeon and abilities, but no personal stats)

    - Non-OP protagonist who starts weak but occasionally kicks ass

    - Some dark humour

    - Bad guys getting what’s coming to them

    - The power of friendship!
