Fresh off her victory in the Verdant Forest, the Greater Temporal Fox-turned-Dungeon Core discovers that the next stop in her journey to free her family (and save the world, at the same time) is the Charwell Desert located south of the Kingdom. This barren region is a far cry from the lush forest she had just left, as there is nothing living amongst the endless sand dunes that sweep across the landscape.
After adapting to the strange new dungeons and the odd fire- and heat-based monsters that are found in the Desert, Tempara finds that – with help from the souls of a few former Defenders and her rescued family – she’s grown quite adept at defending her dungeon from whatever comes her way.
But like the mirage-like heat haze that perpetually lies over the scorching desert, a familiar – and dangerous – figure will emerge to challenge the time-looping Dungeon Core in their own powerful element.

A young man and his axe, alongwith a magical life he never asked for…
Larek Holsten is different from most people, living in theKingdom of Androthe where his 7-foot-tall frame is looked at with suspicion andanger from its shorter residents; but as long as it helps him become the bestLogger he can be, he doesn’t let it bother him all that much. He and his bestfriend, an axe with a powerful Fusion that causes it to become sharper andstronger than a normal tool, are feared by the trees in the magical forestnorth of his home, as he can fell the quickly growing monoliths faster thananyone else in the community.
Unfortunately, after visiting the local village, adeliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble; as a result, he is takenaway from his family and the only home he has ever known.

Contrary to many who might jump at the chanceof wielding powerful magic to fight the monsters that threaten the towns andcities 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 allowedto return home to his family and to chop down the trees in the Rushwood Forest.

Throughout the Kingdom, Defenders constantly fight against incursions of dungeon monsters rampaging over the border the Kingdom shares with the Wildlands. To keep the danger to their citizens low, they periodically sweep through these untamed areas filled with natural beasts and roaming dungeon monsters, destroying as many Dungeon Cores as they can find.
Tempara was practically a newborn when Defenders from the Kingdom snatched her away, only to be forced to watch in horror as tragedy fell upon the rest of her pack. Then, against her will, the Greater Temporal Fox kit was forced to bond with a Defender and become their familiar; soon after, she and her new master were sent to destroy a Dungeon Core in the Frozen Reaches, an area of the Wildlands located far to the north of the Kingdom. Sadly for them both, an unfortunate accident gained them their untimely deaths… but the young Greater Temporal Fox gained an opportunity, as well.
With her untethered soul somehow sent back in time, Tempara now has the chance to save her pack from the horrendous tragedy that would befall them in just a few short weeks. But first, she has to figure what a Dungeon Core is and why, oh why, did she just become one….
