Core Establishment

2021

A journey that was a lifetime in the making…. Milton Frederick never had the chance to live out his life as a professional gamer on Earth, mainly because he was abducted by aliens. Unfortunately, he wasn’t returned home after the typical probing associated with such things to tell an unbelievable story to his friends. Instead, he was summarily killed and his consciousness was inserted into a Station Core, a giant metal egg-shaped object that could use technology to create traps, Combat Units, and other defenses to protect not just himself but those he cared about. Despite killing him and sticking his mind in what was essentially a giant computer, the aliens that went by the name “The Collective” weren’t actually a bad group of people. Ultimately, what they had done to Milton had been to save themselves from the incessant attacks of a different group of aliens called Heliothropes; sadly, he never made it to where he was supposed to end up. Rather, his Station Core ended up crash-landing on a foreign planet named Proctus, as far from The Collective as it was possible to get. However, through many difficult scenarios and by adapting to his new form, Milton was eventually able to leave Proctus with some new friends and new ships he had built with the help of his versatile drones. Now bound for Collective space to fulfill a promise to his personal AI guide, ALANNA, Milton and his crew use their trans-dimensional drive to journey there through a strange dimension that cuts down on their travel time. What they find waiting for them when they emerge is not what any of them were expecting. Dimensional Dungeon Cores is a continuation of the Station Cores series, though it can be enjoyed without having read the previous books. This story contains LitRPG and GameLit mechanics, Dungeon Core elements including dungeon construction and defense, and optional stat tables in the form of footnotes. Contains no foul language and no harems or sexual content.

Core Construction

2022

Two Cores are better than one…. Coming back to their own dimension, Milton Frederick and his AI guide, ALANNA, discovered that things were not quite how they left it. After the Station Core and his crew of Proctans acquired a derelict space station, fixed it up to include a makeshift dungeon, and then stopped the Heliothropes from invading and conquering an entirely new dimension, they managed to survive and return to Milton’s home dimension victorious. But they didn’t return alone. Connecting to what is being dubbed the “Creator” dimension, the beautiful Dungeon Core named Sandra is now able to visit Milton’s space station through a fixed dimensional portal. Because of this, she is able to treat the entire structure as an extension of her own Area of Influence. Now, working together – Station Core and Dungeon Core – the two of them work to construct a dungeon inside of the station that utilizes their combined strengths, an unprecedented amalgamation of two completely different styles of defense. While at the same time, they also strive to determine what is their ultimate goal against the Heliothropes, which will determine the future of their endeavors. Even with their combined might, will it be enough to stop the tyrannical reign of the Heliothropes? Only time will tell, of course, but after constructing a lasting relationship with a brand-new ally, Milton can only hope for the best. Dimensional Dungeon Cores is a continuation of the Station Cores and Dungeon Crafting series, though it can be enjoyed without having read the previous books. This story contains LitRPG and GameLit mechanics, Dungeon Core elements including dungeon construction and defense, and optional stat tables in the form of footnotes.

Core Convergence

2022

In an effort to stop their enemy, the Station Core needs to investigate a strange dungeon world… The Heliothropes have opened up another dimensional wound, and now it’s up to Milton and his crew to locate the Stabilizing Anchor holding the wound open and destroy it before the connection between two dimensions stabilizes completely. It should be fairly easy, as they had done the same thing on Sandra’s planet, but there’s a problem. They can’t seem to find a single trace of the enemy. Due to the unusual energy permeating the world Haven Station is orbiting around, their sensors cannot penetrate the outer atmosphere. The same sensor issues soon become evident on the planet itself, so Milton resorts to manually searching for the Heliothropes; in the process, he learns more about the world full of millions of dungeons and the strange way everything operates. But will he be able to locate and destroy the Anchor before it’s too late? It’s too soon to tell, but there is a distinct possibility that Milton is going to need some help from those in charge; and who would be better than the one person that brought the Dungeon Cores of the world to their figurative knees? Dimensional Dungeon Cores is a continuation of the Station Cores, Dungeon Crafting, and now Dungeon World series, though it can be enjoyed without having read the previous books. This story contains LitRPG and GameLit mechanics, Dungeon Core elements including dungeon construction and defense, and optional stat tables in the form of footnotes. Contains no foul language, no harems, and no sexual content.

With a new friend to help their cause, those on Haven Station are ready to take on the enemy…. Milton and his crew miraculously managed to destroy yet another Stabilizing Anchor in a different dimension, freeing the people there from the threat of the Heliothropes that sought to invade. Their success wasn’t just in the form of stopping the enemy, however, as they also gained a new ally. Now, Fredwynklemossering – a hybrid Human and Dungeon Core – has joined Milton, Sandra, and the Proctans in their fight against the Heliothropes back in his original home dimension. Unfortunately, returning home presents new challenges as the enemy fights back, cutting off help and assistance to a sector of star systems, leaving them to die of starvation. To prevent that from happening, those on Haven station elect to take on the responsibility for keeping them alive, despite the danger to their overall cause. Will Milton be able to protect the billions of people indirectly affected by the simple presence of Haven Station? Regardless of their potential success, he mustn’t forget that the atrocities that the enemy has visited upon the people of the galaxy need a response; the time for action, the time for vengeance, and the time for retribution… is now.

The Station Core and his allies managed to survive a disastrous meeting with Emperor Helios and are coming back stronger than ever. Picking up yet another ally in the form of Tacca GloomLily, a Dungeon Fairy-turned-Dungeon Core, their newest addition has knowledge of something that will dramatically change the war against the Heliothropes once and for all.

Just as the swift resolution to their problems seemed to be going down the drain from lack of manpower, an old friend reached out and presented them a potential solution. But will this solution be the answer they’re looking for or just another problem? Either way, the Dungeon Cores aboard Haven Station are intent on not only in defeating Emperor Helios and freeing the enslaved people of the galaxy, but to also demonstrate why it was a mistake for the Heliothropes to mess with a certain Station Core in a showing of complete… … domination .
