I Bought a Trash Dungeon, Now Earth's Gamers Grind for Me

Sharlock wanted to be a great Dungeon Lord. He just didn't expect his "great dungeon" to be the cheapest piece of garbage in the entire Underworld.

Broken core? Check. Terrible location a day's walk from the surface—meaning every crusading holy boy and his mom can show up to murder you in 24 hours? Check. Literally one thousand magic stones to his name? Double check.

But then his garbage dungeon core—Bru, a sarcastic floating crystal who definitely knows more than he lets on—drops a bombshell: he can summon players from another world. Earth players. The kind who will grind for 12 hours straight just for a slightly shinier pickaxe.

Sharlock thinks he's getting free goblin labor. The players think they've just scored a beta spot in the most hyper-realistic VR MMO ever made. Nobody told them the pain feedback is 100% real. Nobody told Sharlock that Earth gamers will form guilds, flame each other on forums, and build an entire underground economy based on copper coins.

What follows is a chaotic comedy of errors: a broke demon who just wants to build his dream dungeon accidentally running the most popular game on Earth, a horde of sweaty gamers who think they're beta-testing the next big thing, and a dungeon core who's definitely trolling everyone.

No chosen one. No epic prophecy. No world-ending dark lord to defeat. Just a broke demon, a sassy crystal, a dwarf who can both forge swords and bake pies, and way too many goblins with pickaxes.

What could possibly go wrong?
