Book 1 Summary:
The series begins on a day like any other as Wolf Adler comes home from an Algorithms exam at his university. He drives home, meets with his family, and has his usual banter with his sister. But things change when the System arrives, forcing the family of former government hitmen to go into action based off their instincts. As they each grab a weapon they can use before the mysterious System teleports them away to an entirely new world, with a tutorial to introduce them to it.
Things don’t stop there, however, as Wolf learns that this ability is quite a bit stronger than those of his family and friends around him. And that it is incredibly unique.
So he uses his power along with his family and friends to hunt monsters they find in the woods around the Safe Zone they are teleported to and level up.
Until everything changes. Again.
When he is sent inside of the Administrator Dungeon.
A dungeon that appears once every initialization, bringing forth one thousand individuals from the initialization into a one thousand floor dungeon to face off for power. For items.
And for status amongst the System as Executives.
As Administrators.
All while being livestreamed to everyone in the entire universe.
But this isn’t enough to break The Winter Wolf, who merely begins to make his way through the dungeon. Fighting one monster after another, and meeting other Competitors of the Administrator Dungeon, all the way until he reaches the end of the first floor theme and slays the Revenant, becoming the first forerunner of this dungeon in the process.
And marking the start of his journey to power and glory as he gains the attention of the universe as a whole and multiple administrators within it.
Book 2 Summary:
The second book in the series starts off as Wolf Adler makes it to the second floor theme. Where he begins to battle in a jungle filled with dinosaurs and bugs of numerous kinds.
The Winter Wolf doesn’t let the drastic change from the first theme to the second bother him, however, as he continues to fight his way through one floor after another. All with the eyes of the universe on him through the livestreams and the viewing rooms.
But throughout all of this, he finds himself wrapped up in his interactions with the System Administrators, Diane Frost and Leo Decayend.
The Empress of the Grand Werewolf Empire and the Emperor of the Dread Empire.
An empress who wishes to turn him into her heir.
To turn him into a werewolf.
But when The Winter Wolf reaches the third floor theme and finds an event boss that has spawned there, her plans turn out entirely unnecessary.
As the event boss he finds ends up being a Primal Werewolf.
One who manages to bite him before The Winter Wolf and Deadshot manage to slay it.
Yet after a grueling transformation period, one filled with pain and agony, Wolf comes out of it stronger. Faster. And a new species entirely.
As a the first Harbinger Lycanthrope in existence.
But power comes at a price, and without understanding how to control his own strength and speed, Wolf quickly becomes a comedy routine for the viewers to watch as he tries to adjust to his new body. During which point he loses his status as the Forerunner.
And since he already lost the status, he decides to go ahead and level up his Soul Bound Companion, Sapphire, a small little spider who takes after him in its element, to match his level.
Leaving him and Sapphire finally matching in level by the end of the book.
Book 3 Summary:
After Wolf and Sapphire’s syncing, they quickly begin to tear through the floors of the Administrator Dungeon. Rapidly bridging the gap between them and the other Competitors.
They tear through the remainder of the dark forest floor theme filled. Skate across the first hazardous floor theme in the form of an icy wasteland. Literally. And enter the first Sponsorship Floor Theme of the dungeon.
The desert arena theme. One filled with arenas for Wolf to challenge monster opponents within, along with an open desert outside of the arenas filled with enormous and powerful monsters that are too strong to be defeated at his level.
Wolf tears through one arena after another, earning himself the levels and stars he needs to defeat the mini boss of each floor and move on to the next floor over and over again.
And when he reaches the final floor of the floor theme, the fiftieth floor of the Administrator Dungeon, he finally receives his first set of sponsorships.
The Tier 8 Coat of The Winter Wolf created for The Winter Wolf’s personal use, from the Werewolf Empress and Wolf’s main sponsor.
The skill High Fire Immunity, from the water harbinger and creator of the popular viewing room Arcadian Online.
A cursed letter from The Ruler.
A set of boots known as the Boots of the Fallen Drake from Deadshot’s sponsor, Cyrene Hunter.
And the Band of the Phoenix from the Emperor of the Dread Empire, Leo Decayend.
After which he challenges the fiftieth floor, and eventually defeats the boss.
But things don’t end there as he soon finds himself in peril far worse than the boss, after he clears multiple other floor themes including a high tech floor theme. When another Event Boss shows itself within the ocean floor theme.
A Deepsea Kraken.

One that he only barely manages to defeat with the aid of his new equipment, skills, and Sapphire.
Book 4 Summary:
After defeating the Deepsea Kraken, The Winter Wolf continues clearing floor theme after floor theme of the Administrator Dungeon. One after another.
All while wars begin to break out within the universe as a whole, completely unrelated to the Administrator Dungeon itself.
But Wolf has more important things to worry about.
Like the infinitely lucky Techral who seems to run entirely on luck, or the strange little immortal animals that he manages to find in Pandora’s Boxes.
Like the chicken who enjoys sitting on his head, to Sapphire’s utter rage at the thing trying to claim her spot. Despite her gaining a humanoid form.
But those small worries don’t occupy his thoughts for much longer before he reaches level 1000 and things begin to change.
When he receives a message from The Reaper himself. The creator of the System. And is told a great number of things by the man.
That Wolf is a descendant of The Reaper.
What powers he may receive from his Reaper blood, such as the ability to turn into his own element through elemental shifting.
And that there are numerous descendants of The Reaper across the universe, the majority of whom The Reaper himself has no interest in.
So Wolf begins to try learning how to elemental shift. All while slaying more monsters and continuing his trek through the floors of the dungeon.
And while the dungeon itself continues to change. Straying further and further away from the standard Administrator Dungeon Run with each change.
He learns of Special Floors that don’t follow regular Floor Themes. Of Special Bosses chosen by the viewers themselves. And of new restrictions on the dungeon such as those on the Stores.
Wolf continues traveling through the dungeon, growing stronger, and eventually defeating the new Special Bosses. And learning about Sapphire’s habit of eating other Soul Bound Companions.
Eventually Wolf makes it to the second Sponsorship Floor.
The Tenth Floor Theme.
Where he finds a Centurion Boss, is formally acknowledged as the Heir to the Grand Werewolf Empire, and receives numerous new items and skills as a sponsorship that he uses to survive his battle with the Centurion Boss. Such as the Tier 9 skill to directly manipulate the elements usable by the user.
But that is not all, as the System itself begins to break for him.
When it begins to start expelling him from the System for being a Reaper.
Following which more new rules are added to the Administrator Dungeon Run, turning it into an entirely different run than any ever seen before as the Conjunctions begin and bring the Competitors temporarily together for meetings.
But more important to Wolf than anything else right then is the Centurion Boss. Of which he finally takes on and very nearly dies.
Until he begins to awaken as a Reaper, granting him incredible power that he uses to turn it around. Even if the System revokes most of it after the battle.
Turning him into the Unique Species, Reaper of the Blue Moon, and granting him an upgraded element.
Winter of the Eternal Void.
And after defeating the Centurion Boss, The Winter Wolf continues his trek through the dungeon. Slaying one monster after another and clearing floor after floor. Going through traumatic memories of his past in some of the floors, while sweeping through others with ease.
Eventually learning of his other heritage.
The heritage of the Queen of the Fae, Titania.
And after saying goodbye to his family, who are all being brought to the fae realm where his mother’s memories of the past will be restored, Wolf continues fighting. All the way until he reaches the next sponsorship floor and receives a special weapon from Titania herself.
The Sword of the Blue Moon.
A sword he uses to slay the boss of the floor, therefore bringing himself new restrictions from the System due to the radiance element within the item. An element that is the complete opposite of the element used by the System.
And therefore finally catching the attention of The Reaper himself, who begins to make changes to Wolf’s run of the Administrator Dungeon simply to test him. Brining him to the void to fight a boss instead of the usual boss. Altering his System permissions.
And eventually?
Taking him to the Beta Dungeon that was used as a test for the Administrator Dungeon after saving Wolf from the rule breaker known as The Ruler, who attempted to break into the Administrator Dungeon to slay Wolf personally.
Book 5 Summary:
During the fifth book of the series, things begin to change even more drastically as the Progenitors finally make their appearance within the universe as a whole. The beings who are their element. Who were born alongside the birth of their element itself and are a part of it.
And that they are the source of the Harbingers, who were given their variant elements thanks to a blessing given to them by the Progenitor of their element.
Meanwhile The Reaper, confirmed Progenitor of the Void, and Titania, confirmed Progenitor of Radiance, begin their war at last.
But within the dungeon itself, Wolf finds himself more preoccupied with the vast differences between the Beta Dungeon and the Administrator Dungeon. Differences including the level of the monsters, the floors themselves, the Void Store, the items and skills, the addition of knowledge crystals, and the lack of any other Competitors within the Beta Dungeon.
Until The Reaper begins to force the people of his universe into participating in his war with Titania through Voided Karma. Karma that has no effect on Wolf himself.
But he also has no way to aid his friends and family outside of the dungeon, leaving him stuck doing nothing but continuing his progress through the Beta Dungeon.
And that’s what he does. He continues clearing one floor after another, slaying one boss after another.
Eventually finding himself with a cult of his own worshiping him that he decides to act like doesn’t exist.
However, unlike what many people expect, many of the other progenitors gather together and force The Reaper to stop interfering with the Beta Dungeon. Banning him from making any other changes to it in the process.
All while Wolf himself finally adopts Sapphire as his daughter.
Wolf obtains one strange item after another, including items that allow him to send items of even other people outside of the dungeon to set locations he has been before that he uses to send Sapphire outside of the dungeon. And he clears unique floors one after another in addition to that, including floors such as ones that simply teleport him to a locked-down location outside of the dungeon to fight monsters or bosses. Locations other users outside of the dungeon can even watch him battle.
But Wolf’s smooth sailing comes to a firm halt when he reaches the 25th floor theme.
Where he finds special monsters immune to elemental energy that use the void element waiting for him.
Monsters capable of absorbing energy from the space around them.
The only way he manages to make it past these monsters is through the use of a ring that allows him to do the very same thing they do.
The Ring of Frost Devouring, which lets him devour ice element and use it to strengthen his own body.
But right when things are beginning to look up for him again, an Event Boss spawns on the 250th floor.
Replacing the boss of the floor entirely.
An Event Boss everyone soon finds out to be a devourer.
One of the most powerful species in the universe, and a creature Wolf barely manages to slay through the use of many gifts given to him by both progenitors and mortals alike.
Some of which change Wolf again.
Turning him into a pseudo progenitor himself thanks to a bite from a miniature clone of Fenrir.
A pseudo progenitor of his own element.
Lunar Ice.
Turning him into The Winter Wolf.
Both in title, and in species.
