A few minutes ago, Meghan Moretti’s biggest concern was getting the kids’ athletic clothes washed in time for practice this evening. Now, Earth has been forced into participating in some high-stakes intergalactic reality television. All electrical wiring has been slagged, and most combustibles neutralized. Some kind of evil space rodents are appearing on the front lawn, too.

Like any parent, Meghan’s first instinct is to keep her young children safely away from the monsters. When she learns that’s not possible, she has to find ways to help them thrive anyway.

What’s a mom to do?

Mark Castle loves horror movies. But when he died in the hands of a cult, he is reincarnated and forced to become a dungeon core…

And makes his domain as a lonely cabin in the woods. With newfound powers, he starts his revenge on the people who murdered him.

Utilizing all the tropes and monster manuals of his favorite horror books and movies, Mark sets up a simple rule: lure unwitting victims into the cabin, kill them off one by one, and feed his core with their souls. If anyone is lucky enough to survive until dawn, he rewards them with treasure...and their lives.

But as Mark feeds and grows, the people who hunger for his unique power begin to take notice, and Mark is in even more danger than he imagined.
