As an Assistant Healer, none of his spellsdid any damage and he couldn’t even pick up a weapon to defend himself if hewanted to!
But all hope isn’t lost, as Thaden quickly learns somethingunique about himself that might just allow him to survive long enough to escapethe dungeon. Sure, all his new magicalspells might be focused on healing and protection, but what does it mean whenhe seemingly won’t ever run out of Mana…?

He and his best friend, an axe with a powerful Fusion that causes it to become sharper and stronger than a normal tool, are feared by the trees in the magical forest north of his home, as he can fell the quickly growing monoliths faster than anyone else in the community.Unfortunately, after visiting the local village, a deliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble; as a result, he is taken away from his family and the only home he has ever known. Along the way, his dormant magical potential is discovered by those more knowledgeable than him, and he is ordered to attend some sort of academy for Mages.The problem? Contrary to many who might jump at the chance of wielding powerful magic to fight the monsters that threaten the towns and cities around the Kingdom, Larek has absolutely no desire to become a Mage, especially when he has no choice in the matter. All he wants is to be allowed to return home to his family and to chop down the trees in the Rushwood Forest.But once he discovers a unique talent that stems from his newly unlocked latent power, he might just have to stick around to see what he can do… 𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘-𝑡𝑜-𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑀𝐶 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠 𝐿𝑖𝑡𝑅𝑃𝐺 𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑠𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠, 𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑠 𝑎 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑦 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑒𝑚𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑠.

The Crafter's Dungeon is FREE from Feb 7-11
_____________Sandra had been a merchant traveling through the human lands of Muriel, though that wouldn’t have been her chosen profession. What she would’ve loved to become was a crafter, producing wondrous creations with her own two hands; however, she didn’t want to become a master in just one craft – she was interested in them all.Unfortunately, Sandra was born with a deformity in her hands that made them appear frozen in a claw-like pose; as a result, she couldn’t grip anything with any sort of strength or dexterity, meaning that she wasn’t able craft anything but the most simple of things that required very little in the way of hand-based manipulation. To top it off, while most people could access and manipulate at least one or two of the basic elemental energies, she could see them all – but was unable to manipulate a single one.Despite these setbacks, Sandra spent the majority of her twenty-six years of life visually learning the processes, techniques, and secret formulas for every aspect of crafting she could discover. And it was that pursuit of knowledge that ultimately led to her untimely death.Reborn in the shape of a tiny Dungeon Core, Sandra learned about the purpose behind dungeons and Cores from an assigned dungeon helper; at the same time, she also discovered that she had much more freedom than most other Dungeon Cores. The repercussions of her mere existence could end up being far-reaching, but the most important thing she learned had nothing to do with the other Cores, the different races, or even the real purpose behind her being brought back to life as a strange glowing gem.Sandra didn’t care about any of that, though – all she cared about was that she could finally do some crafting.This Dungeon Core story contains LitRPG/GameLit elements such as statistics and leveling and a heavy crafting emphasis. No profanity and no harems.
