Dungeon Crackers is here!

Okay, you are probably asking what Dungeon Crackers is? Or should I say what Dungeon Crackers are?

Well, you know how in most fantasy stories the band of adventurers goes into these dungeons (for lack of a better word) and encounter traps, monsters, and what not?

Wouldn’t it just be easier to just break in, Ocean’s 11 or Mission Impossible style?

That is essentially what this story is about. This is probably the first story that I wrote wherein I had no idea how it would end when it was finished.

Enjoy this one. Just click on a chapter below.

Chapter 1: Entering the Dungeon

Chapter 2: Facing the Minotaur

Chapter 3: To slay a dragon, unconventionally

Chapter 4: Assembly of the Elders

Chapter 5: Meeting with the Client

Chapter 6: Madelyn

Chapter 7: The Weeping Valley

Chapter 8: Attack at Bitane’s School

Chapter 9: Just Who is Madelyn?

Chapter 10: Phoebe Reveals Her True Face

Chapter 11: The Stolen Talisman

Chapter 12: Making a Stand

Chapter 13: Showdown with Grayon

Chapter 14: To Destroy the Magic

Chapter 15: Epilogue
