Saga of the Soul Dungeon

Mind the psychological tag. We spend a lot of time in the main character's thoughts. When Caden dies, in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. He's not particularly happy to be dead, so resurrection in any form isn't too bad. The real problem? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has to share mind-space with it. And that doesn't take into account mastering his new abilities well enough to escape from the powerful wizard that is, understandably, leery about allowing a dungeon to escape. And, even when he manages to escape he needs to found and manage a dungeon. Of course, the location he chose might have a few issues of its own: -It's on the border of two human nations, who are not particularly pleased to share. -A sentient plant race claims the dungeon as sacred ground. -And, amidst the chaos, teams of adventurers just want to make a living and figure out how to deal with the latest challenge. And, as its own challenge, Caden doesn't want to lose his humanity, to merely become another murder-hobo dungeon. Additional tags for gore, language, and sexual content added just in case. Note that the slavery tag applies, sort-of. Not really traditional slavery, just some aspects of the system can override free will. This is a reworking, and continuation, of my original novel into first person. And it is going great! The writing is well past where my original novel got to. This work will never be dropped. Hiatuses may happen due to life, but I will never abandon this fiction. Currently 25+ additional chapters on Patreon, with book one finished, and book two started.
