What happens when a promising magic student loses everything? Gabriel was destined for greatness in the magical arts until a classmate's betrayal shattered his future, forcing him into the brutal world of the Adventurer's Guild just to survive.
His first delve into the unknown uncovers secrets about monsters, dungeons, and souls that no magic academy ever taught him. This knowledge becomes both his weapon and his burden, granting him powers he never imagined but also making him a target for those who would exploit his discoveries.
As Gabriel gains strength and influence, he attracts a diverse cast of exotic companions who enrich his life in unexpected ways. But these relationships bring something new to fear—the risk of losing everything he's come to care about. The bonds he forges become both his greatest strength and his potential downfall.
When Gabriel learns that forces beyond his control are converging, he must master the role of Dungeon Master before it's too late. Greedy adventurers seek his secrets, while ravenous monsters threaten to overwhelm everything he's built. In this world where magic flows like water and danger lurks around every corner, survival means embracing darkness while fighting to protect what remains of his humanity.
Dungeon Bound takes readers on a journey through a fantasy realm where ancient magic collides with human ambition, where dungeon cores hold untold power, and where the line between monster and human grows increasingly thin.
