Dungeon Inc. [Portal Fantasy • GameLit • Progression]
Synopsis
Dungeon Inc. is the biggest 'fake' reality show on Earth - college kids pretending to be actors, starring as fantasy heroes.
But on the other side of the portal? The monsters don’t follow scripts, the loot is real, and there’s no respawn button.
Step 1: Sign the contract.
Step 2: Walk through the portal.
Step 3: Try not to die on camera.
For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team’s “wizard,” he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home.
But then he discovers that magic is real.
Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, Alex begins to wonder:
Can he become the mage he’s only been pretending to be? And can he show others how to do the same?
** Book 1 Complete! **

*** Important Note: This is a slow burn start. And contains a lot of Slice of Life content. The story moves forward at it's own pace. Progression comes, but slowly!
About this story: This is a traditional Portal Fantasy with GameLit elements smashed into a Cultivator world and framed in a Reality TV show setting. It is a little bit scifi and a little bit fantasy. It's like a great big giant mashup of concepts. It takes place in the near future in a dystopian world and features faux Magitech early on, but later the real magic takes over.
Have fun reading!!
