TW: Spiders, casual and common profanity, mentions of nudity, descriptions of violence and gore, non-glorified but still present outdated/medieval views on subjects such as sl*very. (Words censored here for CW concerns, but will not be in story.) Fia Rush was nothing but a lonely [Bandit] before being ambushed and subsequently dying to a race of spider-monsters called Arachne. Fortunately, in a strange twist of fate, she managed to accidentally touch a Dungeon Core beforehand, and became a [Dungeon Master]. This not only saved her life, but also turned her into one of these spider-women. Now Fia's life is on a course completely different than anything she could have possibly dreamed about. Join Fia in her journey to becoming one of the strongest dungeons in the world as she builds her base, gains loyal followers, and covers filthy humans in tons and tons of spiders. Additional Tags: [High Fantasy] [Dungeon Core] [LitRPG] [Base Building] [Villain] [Demon Lord] This story is going to be a power-fantasy, the main character will be much stronger than is average in this world for her level. However it will not be an instant-god-status type, but rather a gradual climb to that point. This is my first story on Royal Road, and the first story in Niremu, a setting I have been world-building for the last four years. More stories are planned for this setting in the future, but this one is me dipping my feet in the water. The setting is highly influenced by D&D and other stories I've read here on RR and elsewhere, though I try to be different enough from all sources of inspiration that it becomes my own twist. This world has a lot of worldbuilding behind it, more on that can be found in the discord. No set update schedule at the moment, but updates will not be infrequent. Chapters usually around 2k words.
