The Breach Below

For fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman, you'll love this survival LitRPG adventure where leveling up is hard, getting paid is harder, and the dungeon keeps receipts.

The dungeon has rules. None of them require you to survive.

Niko Venn has nine days to pay a debt that will swallow his mother's workshop and his guide's license. A salvage job in Carrow Deep looks like the answer: take a five-person crew underground, recover an Assay Core, collect the money.

The contract says the Vault is empty.

The contract is lying.

Below the quarry, a battered shield specialist, a mouthy trap expert, a healer with five precious charges, and a rookie with an expensive maul are about to become Niko's entire margin for error. Their skills can level up. Their equipment can break. And the Ledger—the civic system keeping score—has very definite opinions about people who aren't on the manifest.

Niko's job is to bring back the Core. Bringing back everyone else could cost him the job, the exit, and the only chance he has to get out of debt.

He has always been bad at leaving people behind.

The Breach Below begins The Wayfinder Compact, a survival LitRPG adventure of hard-earned progression, desperate teamwork, dangerous machinery, and a system whose paperwork can be as lethal as its traps.
