Synopsis

Update: New episodes release every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday each week. 

It was the worst trap in the history of dungeons.

It was my finest work.

Iris Vale ran the best inn on the mountain for eleven years.

Then the roof came down in a hard winter, and she woke up dead.

Now she is a glowing crystal at the heart of a dungeon, with a cheerful System box congratulating her on her new and only purpose:

Kill anyone who walks in.

Iris has other plans.

No hands. No kitchen. Four mana she does not trust. One starving boy at the bottom of her only working death-trap. And a System that has absolutely no schedule of rates for feeding the people it sent her to harvest.

So she opens an inn anyway.

Under protest.

The protest is the System’s.

What grows from there is the warmest house at the top of the world: a tearoom where a spike pit used to be, a bone barista who pours a perfect cup, one extremely unimpressed cat who appoints himself Head Concierge, and a slow, stubborn rebellion built entirely out of refusing to do what you are told.

The Bureau gives Iris thirty days to prove a dungeon that will not kill is even legal.

The mountain has other ideas.

The No-Kill Dungeon is a cozy dungeon-core LitRPG about hospitality, stubbornness, found family, and keeping the fire lit against the dark.

Cozy, not toothless.

Warm, but the rent comes due.

What you are getting:

- A reluctant dungeon core who would rather run an inn

- Found family of the undead, the small, and the judgmental

- Cozy slice-of-life with a light progression system

- No stat-grinding, no grimdark, no gore, no spice

- A bureaucracy that cannot file kindness

- One cat with Opinions

Bring a mug.
