Dungeon of Assassins [LitRPG Through the Eyes of the NPCs]

In a virtual MMORPG world controlled by the AI "Nemesis," players revel in endless adventures while NPCs struggle to survive amid immortal "heroes" who seek only their own amusement. When the game's timeline unexpectedly jumps forward two hundred years,  NPCs gain access to their own status screens, finally giving them a chance to choose their class, feats and skills... and thus shape their own destinies. Follow Malvorik, a mage turned dungeon core, and Weylan, a shepherd's son turned assassin, as they navigate this perilous world. An RPG adventure, told from the viewpoint of the NPCs. A world where players can be the heroes you need… or worse enemies than the monsters the game throws at you. What to expect:  Immersive Worldbuilding: Experience an intricate world from the perspective of sentient AI NPCs within a VR environment. The game generates quests and monsters for players, but no one ever thinks about the struggles of the NPCs whose village is attacked by wolves or caught in a warzone between desert tribes and a northern kingdom. What happens if a quest is too inconvenient for the players to care about it? Innovative Dungeon Core: Follow a Dungeon Core that uses knowledge from its former life to bend the world's rules. Multiple POVs: Enjoy various perspectives throughout the story, with later chapters primarily focusing on Weylan's viewpoint. Narrative: Although the story began centered on a Dungeon Core and its dungeon, it has evolved. The dungeon now primarily serves as a sanctuary, headquarters, and wise mentor for a group of NPC adventurers. The more traditional dungeon delves into Malvorik's dungeon will start in chapter 67.
