in book 1, Tibs has survived being thrown in a new world of dungeons intent on killing him, getting attached to people, only to watch them be killed by the dungeon. He discovered that magic is something real outside of stories, and because he is still alive after countless runs through the ever-growing dungeon, he can do it in the form of manipulating an element.

Only, there is more than he was told as Tibs gets more than one element, but with barely any ability to use them. Still, he perseveres, makes friends who don't immediately end up dead in the dungeon. And he finds out there is more to the dungeon than anyone knows. even its reason for existing isn't what he was told.

And when someone he thought was becoming a friend tries to kill the dungeon, Tibs sides with it, saving it, at great cost to him.

Stepping up is book two in the Dungeon Runner series. It is around 85 chapters long, 220k words, as of Draft 1, which is finished.

What is being posted here is the second draft, after going through editing via Grammarly, Pro-Writing Aid, and an out-loud reading and correcting (on my twitch, so feel free to drop by: https://www.twitch.tv/thetigerwrites) so while cleaner than the draft one that was posted on my Patreon, it will not be perfect. Plot element will also have shifted from that draft as I discovered what did and didn’t work. (or I simply forgot were there…anyone remembers that rivalry between Tibs and the other rogue? I didn’t)

As with book 1, this will be posted after it has gone through the tiers on my Patron (https://www.patreon.com/kindar) so if you are impatient for the story, you can read it ahead of everyone there.

The story will start on January 18th and will be updated on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

I will remove the updates once it starts.

I hope you enjoy it.
