Millions of dungeons inhabit the planet, utilizing the various human kingdoms as a source of much-needed mana to facilitate their own growth; in turn, the humans delve into the dungeons and acquire their own power in the form of Essence, which allows them to develop and enhance themselves in a multitude of different ways.

Will he learn to control the new powers he has gained, or will his newly awakened dungeon core abilities consume him?Contains LitRPG elements such as statistics and leveling. No harems and no profanity.
