Author Biography

Lazarus James is a BIPOC, nonbinary, and ace-spec creative with a love for everything fantasy, most recently manhwa with those blue screens and dungeons. (You might’ve guessed that based on their first series.)

One day, they asked themself, “Why are the main characters always straight men? And why do the two who are obviously in love never end up together?”

The story Laz has written is their own self-indulgent answer to these questions.

They also want you to know that they have two lovely cats affectionately called Lady and Young Man, though their government names are Darjeeling and Earl Grey, respectively.

Dungeon Hunter

Last updated Mar 4, 2025
31 chapters

Is 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).
