Dungeon Man Sam is a character-focused slow burn gamelit novel with elements of LitRPG, base-building, and just a smattering of Real Time Strategy in there. It updates 6 days a week, with a break on Saturdays.

DMS 1 is finished! The book is currently in editing in preparation for a KU release. DMS 2 is forthcoming. Check out Ben's Patreon page for updates!

---------------

In a world where dungeons function as the backbone of national economies, dungeon construction is big business. Wealthy nations spend millions to have the best dungeon builders construct labyrinthine edifices full of the most dangerous traps and planted with the strongest dungeon cores in the hope of luring powerful adventurers in to retrieve the treasures generated deep within.

Samuel Tolliver works for his father, who runs the finest construction crew on the continent. It is a good life, one that keeps him close to family and that earns him enough money to pursue his inventions when he has a free moment. He even has something of a talent for fixing things and keeping the various bits of equipment running. It should have been the best job in the world. There's just one problem.

Sam hates dungeons and wants to destroy them all some day. And he's got the plan to do it, too.

But life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. When a series of disastrous events that he himself set in motion culminates in Sam winding up dead, he thought that was the end of it. Until a voice came to him and offered him a deal, one he simply couldn't refuse.

Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core, one that will turn everything he knows about the world upside down and force him to set aside his hatred of dungeons. For the sake of himself, his friends, and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen before and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll get to see his family again. If he fails, everyone he knows will fall into the grave.

And somewhere beyond the range of his knowledge, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice.

Dungeon Man Sam: When all you have is a hammer, you build.

This Is A Work In Progress:

This isn't the final form of Dungeon Man Sam, there's gonna be some typos, and things may change between chapters as I realize "crap, I didn't set that up nearly as well as I thought I did". I'll let you know if anything like that happens, and if you notice anything that you think is worth pointing out, feel free to let me know!

Hope you enjoy the story!
