The Center for Dungeon Management, Book 1: Gate Crashers [LitRPG, 5x Chapter Releases Weekly!]

The Center for Dungeon Management regulates America’s gates—issuing crawler licenses, enforcing safety codes, and stopping illegal dungeon runners. Dorion dreams of joining a professional crawl team, but without money for fees or permits, he settles for a day job at the CDM’s Pittsburgh office, pushing paperwork by daylight and volunteering to clear unclaimed gates by night. When his estranged little sister arrives, desperate for shelter, Dorion’s ambition shifts from aspiration to obligation. To secure her future, he must navigate the cutthroat crawler industry, balancing bureaucratic red tape with the lethal risks of unlicensed dungeon dives. In a world where stats dictate survival and every skill choice carries permanent consequences, Dorion faces a brutal question: how far will he go to protect his sister in a system designed to keep people like him at the bottom?
