Blue Core | comment |
Blue Core is an occasionally-NSFW fantasy Web Serial Novel available on Royal Road, here.The protagonist suddenly awakens in a fantasy world with no memory of how he got there. He quickly realises A Dungeon is him, and he's stuck in an RPG Mechanics 'Verse.Unusually for both the world he finds himself in and for the genre, he eschews monsters and tries to avoid killing, instead using individuals he empowers as his agents in the world. The story itself slowly moves focus from the mechanics of the dungeon to his interactions with the wider world as he navigates the politics of surrounding nations, all the while trying to solve the mystery of "depletion" that is slowly eating away at the very magic of the world. | |

Blue Core / int_16a21271 | comment |
Walking Wasteland: Mage-kings have an aura of depletion around them. They don't have to attack to destroy their enemies. A simple, friendly chat with one can be fatal, as Shayma, Keri, Cheya, and Annit learn the hard way as they try to flee the city of Duenn with Tor Kot hot on their heels, him actively blocking their teleport attempts. | |

Weapon of X-Slaying | |
Blue Core / int_17d5e071 | comment |
Weapon of X-Slaying: Forging "Bane" weapons requires such hatred of the target that you would be willing to dedicate your life to destroying them. Once done, however, those weapons become inimical to everything about the target, even their senses, making Bane weapons hard to see coming. Blue eventually gains the ability to give his mana Bane properties against his current ANATHEMA target. | |

Extreme Libido | |
Blue Core / int_1b40fc16 | comment |
Extreme Libido: Upon building a breeding station for the first time, Blue feels a rush of highly specific carnal appetites. He's a little freaked out by the implication that parts of his personality are sectioned off or enhanced by what he builds. Void magic consumes everything over time, including happiness or contentment. Any practitioner can never be satisfied, and invariably becomes addicted to something. Sex is one of the healthier options, assuming you have a willing partner. | |

Class and Level System: As per LitRPG standard, everyone in the world has a character class that defines their abilities and a level that gauges relative strength. Classes are further divided into specialized tiers of increasing power; a group of fourth-tier classes is roughly equivalent to a modestly sized army. | |

Blessed with Suck: Void-affinity users. Sure, they get a power that can rip through almost any defense like it doesn’t exist, but using it quickly eats through anything the magic touches, such as weapons, armor, and even their own body. Prolonged use of void affinity even eats away at their emotions, which results in all of them invariably ending up addicted to something just to function. | |

Sustained Misunderstanding | |
Blue Core / int_46d7e20a | comment |
Sustained Misunderstanding: Thanks to Blue being completely unable to communicate with anyone except Shayma, for all of book one, just about everyone thinks he's a captured mage-king dungeon owned by either Shayma or Queen Iniri, and act accordingly. This causes numerous problems as idiots of all types go after his core to try and steal, enslave, kill, or otherwise exploit him. In fact, a certain duke's idiot son uses a magical device to get dangerously close to both Blue's core and the resident visiting dragon, getting himself and his party killed in the process. | |

Babies Ever After: Once the Great Dungeon of Air is fixed, Shayma plans to spend a lot of time with all the newly hatched dragons, as the Caldera Aunt to Taelah's Caldera Mom, and tells Blue that she wants twins herself. Iniri ended up with three children, whereas Taelah, Shayma, and Ansae all ended up with at least four apiece. Possibly many more, as Blue, Shayma, and Ansae have all stopped aging by the end of the series. | |

Questionable Consent | |
Blue Core / int_9400b3b5 | comment |
Questionable Consent: There is a lot of heated debate surrounding the chapter labeled "Day 20" in regards to what happens to Shayma, the fox-woman. She is clearly being chased by human hunters and runs into Blue to try and take refuge. Blue opens a secret room with food, table, chair, bed, and breeding device, and opens another corridor full of spike traps. She goes into the room (which Blue immediately conceals) and listens intently as the hunters take the corridor. Once the hunters are dealt with, Shayma asks Blue for a safe place to hide a metal cube she'd been carrying, and after he creates one, she strips naked and sits on the breeding device herself... to predictable results. Rape, Sexual Extortion, and Unproblematic Prostitution get tossed around as the interpretation of what happened, as there's no way Shayma, or anyone else, could testify about Blue's intent, since Blue was physically incapable of communicating with Shayma. | |

Disintegrator Ray: Void affinity mana destroys anything on contact, whether magical or mundane. Sienne uses it, to great effect, but only in short bouts, because she has to stop and heal her skinned and bleeding hands afterward. Also, she goes through a lot of weapons, because once she infuses void into them, they don't last long. | |

Physical God: Blue is a Power, a being who broke away from the rules of the world somehow and gained incredible powers for it. Though how those powers express themselves is usually unique to each Power, one ability that all Powers possess, and which acts as proof they are Powers at all, is the ability to grant wishes and alter reality in exchange for equivalent payment. Up to, and including, the contractor selling their soul to the Power. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
Blue Core / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: ANY clash with a mage-king will result in this, at best, due to their sheer power and the fact that they've weaponized Depletion. Vok Nal was an idiot who didn't know how to fight worth a damn, and it was still a close thing with over 20 dead, one 4th rank adventurer completely depleted, and Shayma grievously wounded, and even then, it was only because she grabbed his dungeon's core that there was any victory at all. Tor Nok nearly depleted one of Shayma's companions just by being present, without any fighting. | |

Weapon of Mass Destruction: The Adamant Fortress is armed only with something called The Light of Eschaton. When activated, it strips everything within a several mile radius of all Fate mana and completely annihilates anything in that area not in the fortress itself. | |

Corrupt the Cutie: Inverted. Blue is able to remove corruption from people and saves the life of Shayma as she was nearly at her limit of depletion. | |

Ungrateful Townsfolk | |
Blue Core / int_b76fe275 | comment |
Ungrateful Townsfolk: Even after being rescued from the deprivations of Vok Nal, Queen Iniri's people aren't as grateful as they should, decrying that the battle wrecked their city, and earlier, despite Blue having rescued them all from a swarm of thousands of goblins launched at them by Vok Nal, an adventuring party uses a magical device to track Blue's core, to steal, destroy, or enslave. They wind up tasting a water cutter and steam explosions, getting killed. | |

Level-Up at Intimacy 5: Those who Blue designates as his companions can indeed level up their relationship status, though admittedly it's mostly by things other than intimacy. | |

Beyond the Impossible | |
Blue Core / int_cc6f4612 | comment |
Beyond the Impossible: Blue’s ability to cure Depletion counteracts a basic element of the fantasy world, and people who learn of it react accordingly (e.g. Ansae losing her temper and disintegrating a room with a shout). Depletion drains away abilities so there shouldn’t be anything there to cure, but Blue is capable of completely restoring all the skills and abilities that were stolen. | |

Screw Destiny | |
Blue Core / int_ce75a983 | comment |
Screw Destiny: Fate is one of the many flavours of mana that can be manipulated. It is literally the future, or potential of something, and if you should lose it you lose everything you could or would have been. On the other hand, if you're sufficiently powerful and knowledgeable you can generate and restore Fate mana, literally creating your own destiny. | |

The Magocracy | |
Blue Core / int_cec7dac0 | comment |
The Magocracy: The Mage-Kings have a council that distributes dungeon cores and designates their territories. Blue first has contact with them when they send a testy letter via shadow demon concerning his "encroachment" on the Mage-King who's seized the nearby kingdom and fed it to his dungeon. | |

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: It's not a very long rampage, but after Shayma is killed, Blue gives up all attempts at cowing or punishing House Anell, and just vaporizes their entire city with a fusion lance. | |

Sexually Transmitted Superpowers | |
Blue Core / int_d6dfb832 | comment |
Sexually Transmitted Superpowers: Becoming a Companion brings a number of potent benefits, including the ability to draw on Blue's mana pool (which is orders of magnitude larger than a human's), and being recalled to his core in an emergency. The process of becoming a Companion, though, is rather... intimate, shall we say, and only available to women. | |

No-Flow Portal: All dungeons doors work like this, being partly magical. A lava pit next to a glacier won't affect the temperature of either. Blue eventually learns how to create this effect without anything physical at all by just manipulating mana. | |

Ludicrous Gibs | |
Blue Core / int_db33bc7e | comment |
Ludicrous Gibs: Mage-kings can draw on their linked dungeon cores to massively amplify their strength and resilience, but when one runs out of mana, he reverts to normal — while still facing attacks calibrated for his enhanced state. Which means he basically explodes. | |

Battle Couple | |
Blue Core / int_db39ccfd | comment |
Battle Couple: Shayma's parents are shopkeepers, but they've also adventured together a lot. Sienne's Void Affinity makes her exceptionally dangerous, both to others and herself; Giorn helps take the edge off. Montagne, Ansae's child by Blue, isn't allowed to leave the Caldera until he's at least third tier, because if he were to be hurt, his parents would probably break the world. | |

The Assimilator: Dungeons, and by default Mage-Kings, are capable of this. It doesn't seem to be a very pretty process, essentially described as Meat Moss growing on objects until they’re consumed. Blue has this ability, but doesn’t use it to the horrifying extent of other dungeons. | |

Removed Achilles' Heel | |

Removed Achilles' Heel: Ansae is immensely powerful, both physically and magically, but has no defence against Depletion except to retreat, and has almost been destroyed by it. Then she learns that Blue can purge it and render people immune... Once he gains enough mana capacity to actually pull it off, restoring her full power, it's time for the endgame, going after the Depletion rift to fix the world. | |
