With a new friend to help their cause, those on Haven Station are ready to take on the enemy….
Milton and his crew miraculously managed to destroy yet another Stabilizing Anchor in a different dimension, freeing the people there from the threat of the Heliothropes that sought to invade. Their success wasn’t just in the form of stopping the enemy, however, as they also gained a new ally.
Now, Fredwynklemossering – a hybrid Human and Dungeon Core – has joined Milton, Sandra, and the Proctans in their fight against the Heliothropes back in his original home dimension. Unfortunately, returning home presents new challenges as the enemy fights back, cutting off help and assistance to a sector of star systems, leaving them to die of starvation. To prevent that from happening, those on Haven station elect to take on the responsibility for keeping them alive, despite the danger to their overall cause.
Will Milton be able to protect the billions of people indirectly affected by the simple presence of Haven Station?
Regardless of their potential success, he mustn’t forget that the atrocities that the enemy has visited upon the people of the galaxy need a response; the time for action, the time for vengeance, and the time for retribution… is now.

What if there was a system of rules they had to follow?Clive Logan is a serial killer; or, to be more accurate, Clive Logan was a serial killer. Caught after a record-breaking streak of murders, he was executed by lethal injection by the state, while thousands of his victims’ grieving family members watched.That should’ve been the end of his emotionless and unfeeling existence – but it wasn’t.Sent to Hell – where he enjoyed himself entirely too much – he was singled out to become a Spirit Core, an invisible spiritual entity that eventually ended up back on Earth. At first unfamiliar to him, his new incarnation slowly revealed itself to have its own set of rules, following something not unlike the video games he used to program back when he was alive. At its root, he was tasked with invoking fear upon his new victims – but there was just one problem.Having never felt any emotions before, he had no idea what that meant. Now, in order to kill his assigned victims, he will have to explore his new abilities as a Spirit Core and learn what it will take to literally scare them to death.Warning: This is a story about a serial killer, and he does what serial killers do, so if the "bad guy" winning isn't for you, you may want to steer clear...Contains LitRPG/GameLit aspects such as statistics and leveling, as well as Dungeon Core elements.

Audible sale for Dungeon of Chance: Even Odds
There is an Audible sale for premium plus members through December 15th in the US store, and Dungeon of Chance: Even Odds is included! You can pick up the first book in my Serious Probabilities series for only $5.99, which includes over 12 hours of Dungeon Core, LitRPG, and probabilities today!
Audible US: https://www.audible.com/pd/B08SVRJRJ2
In a world dictated by probabilities, Clay was an anomaly…
Thousands of Heroes protect the land, defending against the periodic incursions by gigantic monsters known as World Threats. This was the way it had always been and Clay Shuntwise was perfectly fine with that. Running deliveries for his family’s shop in the sleepy town of Renton, the young teenager barely even thought about Heroes and their role in keeping the world safe.
That was, at least, until the world came crashing down on him.
Reborn into the brand-new and unfamiliar form of a Dungeon Core, Clay struggles through learning more about Heroes and the dungeons they delve through to get stronger. According to the guide that was trying to help him understand his new life, however, because he was a former Hero, Clay should already know most of what he needed to succeed; all of the finer parts regarding the relationship between Heroes and dungeons, including information about probabilities and drop rates, should be common knowledge.
The problem? Despite wishing that he had been that lucky in his past life, Clay had never been a Hero…but now he might be forced to become one, though not quite in the way he ever expected.
This book contains Dungeon Core, LitRPG, and GameLit elements including dungeon construction and defense, monster summoning, character progression, and a game-like interface. In addition, many of the probabilities the world is based upon are similar to Gacha-type mechanics. Contains no profanity, harems, or explicit sexual content.

A love of Christmas is translated into a unique dungeon experience…
Elmer Robbins loved decorating for every holiday with his wife, Mary, by going all-out with décor at their cozy little house as well as filling his office with holiday cheer. But when his beloved Mary passed away unexpectedly the year before, it was difficult for Elmer to summon the same sort of enthusiasm in decorating for all of the holidays without her beside him.
However, due to an accident at work, Elmer’s soul is transported to a strange world, where it inhabits an even stranger object called a Dungeon Core. Soon after his arrival, the new Dungeon Core discovers something he didn’t think was possible: a way to reconnect with the soul of his wife, Mary.
In order to do that, though, Elmer will need to survive and increase the Level of his newly acquired form. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know much about fantasy worlds, magic, and monsters; what he does know a lot about, however, is Christmas.

______________________________
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.

All that Tacca GloomLily ever wanted to be since she was very little was a Fairy Assistant to a Dungeon Core. After her negatively portentous birth, however, she was never fully accepted by her superstitious peers and instructors at the Dungeon Assistant Preparatory School; nevertheless, she persisted in her studies and graduated at the top of her class.
Unfortunately for her, the “hands-on” training she was supposed to receive from a Mentor and his Bonded Dungeon Core didn’t go the way she would’ve hoped. In fact, the stigma attached to her origins finally made itself known in the form of horrendously “bad luck”; the rotten part of her newly discovered luck was that it adversely affected Cores that she happened to be near, and not just herself.
What can a Dungeon Assistant Fairy do when every Dungeon Core she gets near ends up being destroyed? Tacca had no idea, but a solution eventually presents itself – though it’s one that she never saw coming…
