Book 2 — Carl the Dungeon Crawler: The Dungeon Above
Carl escaped the dungeon.
But the dungeon escaped with him.
After breaking the final seal beneath the original dungeon, Carl returns to the surface with Elias and Mara, hoping the nightmare is finally over.
Then the first black door appears in the middle of the city.
And another.
Then hundreds.
Creatures begin emerging from impossible places. Strange structures spread through the streets. The city itself begins transforming into something that looks less like the world Carl knows and more like another floor of the dungeon.
But the greatest mystery is waiting below.
Carl discovers a hidden floor filled with hundreds of doors—and behind those doors are different versions of himself.
Some are younger.
Some are older.
Some are warriors.
Some remember things Carl has forgotten.
And some know exactly what happened the first time Carl entered the dungeon.
As Carl searches for the truth, he begins uncovering secrets about his parents, Elias, the mysterious Passenger, the dungeon's origins, and the strange mechanism that has been controlling his memories.
Then Carl learns the truth about the surface gate.
It isn't an escape route.
It's a beacon.
And something from beyond the dungeon has answered the call.
Now Carl must confront the most dangerous mystery of all: who—or what—is he really?
Because the dungeon is no longer waiting for Carl to enter.
It is coming for him.
