Please note: This story is a work in progress. This is my first time writing so it might be a little off sometimes. Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions! In a world ravaged by disaster, humanity has been driven underground into sprawling dungeons teeming with magic and monsters. Within this new society, those who awaken mana cores gain extraordinary powers, which they use to hunt, craft, and survive the perils of the dungeons. Redd, a determined young adventurer, dreams of strength and answers. Haunted by the mysteries surrounding his family’s past, he and his friends embark on a perilous journey that takes them through treacherous dungeons and the mysterious underground hub city of Central. Along the way, they confront the monsters lurking in both the shadows and society itself, challenging the status quo and uncovering dark secrets that could change their world forever. What to expect - - Lots of fighting and combat with in-depth descriptions and dungeon diving - Weak to Strong MC progression arcs - Level like progression system  - Strong side characters who don't get in the way - Light touches of love interest and romance (No Haram) - Magic and monsters at every turn What not to expect -- Instantly overpowered MC - Rapid progression (This is a slow burn, power creep over time type story)
