The Torchbearer Takes A Break After 100 Years Looping In The Dungeon

After a century trapped as the Dungeon’s unwilling Custodian, Miles has finally earned his freedom. The endless cycles of death and rebirth within the labyrinth’s world-spanning depths are over—at least for now. Armed with hard-won Skills and a soul-deep exhaustion, he steps into the sunlight with one goal: rest. His plans are simple. Plant an orchard. Bake pastries. Brew coffee strong enough to erase the taste of dungeon rations. Maybe even share them with the odd traveler who wanders by. But when monotony sets in, the Dungeon’s call remains—a familiar itch beneath his skin. The surface world is vast, unknown, and utterly unprepared for a man who’s survived a hundred years of hell. Miles just wants peace, but the world may not let him keep it.
