Core Construction
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.

Jonathan Brooks
In the fast-evolving realm of LitRPG and Dungeon Core fiction, few names have carved out territory as boldly—or as prolifically—as Jonathan Brooks. Known for weaving complex magic systems with the logic of game mechanics, Brooks has become a touchstone for readers who crave fantasy grounded in strategy, growth, and immersive world-building.
It all began with Dungeon Player in 2017, a debut that hinted at the intricate worlds and evolving systems that would become his signature. But Brooks didn’t stop there. He’s since written more than 70 novels, building expansive series like Dungeon Crafting, Magical Fusion, and Earthen Contenders, each exploring what it means to level up—whether as a character, a dungeon, or a sentient core learning how to survive in hostile worlds. His latest venture, The Labyrinth World series, continues this evolution with a fresh spin on multiverse mechanics and layered storytelling.
