__________________Contains all 5 books in the Dimensional Dungeon Cores series:Core EstablishmentCore ConstructionCore ConvergenceCore RetributionCore Domination2,993,517 words… 25 books… 5 different series… 4 amazing Dungeon Cores… and 1 epic crossover series…Milton Frederick never had the chance to live out his life as a professional gamer on Earth, mainly because he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately, he wasn’t returned home after the typical probing associated with such things to tell an unbelievable story to his friends. Instead, he was summarily killed and his consciousness was inserted into a Station Core, a giant metal egg-shaped object that could use technology to create traps, Combat Units, and other defenses to protect not just himself but those he cared about.Through many difficult scenarios and by adapting to his new form, Milton was eventually able to escape the planet he crash-landed upon with the help of some new friends. Now, traveling back to Collective space using the ships he had built with the help of his versatile drones, the Station Core’s goal is to fulfill a promise to his personal AI guide, ALANNA, to free the races that had built his Core from the grips of the Heliothropes, a war-like race that had been threatening to overtake them when he was abducted so long ago.What they find waiting for them when they arrive is not what any of them were expecting.Dimensional Dungeon Cores is a continuation of the Station Cores, Dungeon Crafting, Dungeon World, and Dungeon Fairy series, though it can be enjoyed without having read the previous books. This story contains LitRPG and GameLit mechanics, Dungeon Core elements including dungeon construction and defense, and optional stat tables in the form of footnotes. Contains scarce foul language, no harems, and no sexual content.

The spooky conclusion to theHoliday Dungeon Core series!
Elmer Robbins has survived thousands of Adventurers delvingthrough his dungeon, but the holiday-obsessed Dungeon Core is in danger. The threat doesn’t stem from some powerfulAdventurer or world-ending crisis set to destroy his Core, but from his own success. With a limitation set upon him from the Godsand Goddesses of his new world, he soon hits a wall in his development thatcould end up destroying him because of an overabundance of Life Force he isforced to absorb from slain Adventurers in his dungeon.
With a choice between slowly succumbing to his destructionby doing nothing, which would prolong his life, or going out in a blaze ofglory by creating another holiday-themed section to his dungeon and inviting thepermanent death of his soul all that much faster, the decision was easy. With new Halloween-based rooms, he canfinally decorate for one of his favorite holidays, and this new section iswell-suited the environs of a dungeon.
Will the Adventurers appreciate his new fear-filled dungeonareas filled with pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, vampires, and eventrick-or-treating before the inevitable destruction meets his Core? Or will there be a light at the end of thetunnel, saving both Elmer and his trapped wife’s soul from utter annihilation?

This is it. This is the end.
The Station Core and his allies managed to survive a disastrous meeting with Emperor Helios and are coming back stronger than ever. Picking up yet another ally in the form of Tacca GloomLily, a Dungeon Fairy-turned-Dungeon Core, their newest addition has knowledge of something that will dramatically change the war against the Heliothropes once and for all.
Unfortunately, despite this powerful new knowledge, after the circumstances surrounding the confrontation with the Heliothrope leader, Haven Station was left vastly depleted with very few able to fight the battles to come. Just as the swift resolution to their problems seemed to be going down the drain from lack of manpower, an old friend reached out and presented them a potential solution.
But will this solution be the answer they’re looking for or just another problem? Either way, the Dungeon Cores aboard Haven Station are intent on not only in defeating Emperor Helios and freeing the enslaved people of the galaxy, but to also demonstrate why it was a mistake for the Heliothropes to mess with a certain Station Core in a showing of complete…
