The Core Trial Book Five of the Core Overlord Series I broke the rules. Bound a soul. Triggered the Bureau. Now they want to delete me. Again.

The dungeon has leveled up. The adventurers have too. Now the real game begins. Nightshard, a newly awakened Dungeon Core, survived his first raid with a golem made of desperation and stone.
