Dungeon Man Sam

Samuel Tolliver holds a deep and abiding hatred for Dungeons. For years he's been working and scheming to rid them from existence, and now he's got a plan to do it. But there's a problem: dungeons form the backbone of national economies and their construction is big business in this world. It doesn't help that Sam's father runs one of the world's premier dungeon construction companies, or that Sam works for the family business. And when a series of disastrous events culminate in the death of Sam and everyone he knows, it seemed that all was lost. Until a voice came to him, offering a deal he could not refuse. Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core. To save himself and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll see his family once more. If he fails, oblivion awaits. And somewhere, beyond his awareness, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice. Dungeon Man Sam is a slow-burn character-focused dungeon-building LitRPG novel with a unique leveling system and elements of crafting and real time strategy.

Dungeon Man Sam has built his dungeon. Now he must defend it. It will not be easy. Far away in his palace at Phyrexes, a lich king returns to life with murder on his mind. His target? Samuel James Tolliver and anyone close to him. His method? Power to rival the gods, legions of undead warriors, and half a century's worth of wicked cunning and skill. Elsewhere the keepers of the System have taken notice of him and watch patiently with knives sharpened. Beyond them, an unknown power awakens and takes deadly offense at Sam's very existence. Atop a hillside, a specter from the past watches and waits, preparing to shatter an old friend's heart into a thousand pieces. Again. Now Sam must fight for his survival and for those he loves against gods and devils alike. And, if he has time, he might just solve the mysteries of the universe and discover the meaning of life itself. Yes, really. For Dungeon Man Sam, the only easy day was yesterday. Tomorrow comes the storm. Dungeon Man Sam is a character-focused base-building-and-defending litRPG featuring a heavy emphasis on character and story, fast-paced action, and a hearty dollop of humor thrown in for good measure.
