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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Which means he basically explodes.

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.

It doesn't seem to be a very pretty process, essentially described as Meat Moss growing on objects until theyâ€™re consumed. Blue has this ability, but doesnâ€™t use it to the horrifying extent of other dungeons.
