dungeon-hotel
Tóm tắt
Dungeon-fantasy with cozy-fantasy undertones that curdle into body horror. The tone splits cleanly along the story's two modes: hotel management scenes are warm, witty, grounded in the rhythms of hospitality — checking guests in, fixing plumbing, negotiating breakfast menus.

Chairman Yoon
antagonist60s, head of the Dungeon Hunter Association. Publicly a heroic protector of humanity who has dedicated his life to dungeon safety. Privately collects Dungeon Cores for an immortality ritual, having already consumed three. His son died in a dungeon twenty years ago — the grief calcified into obsession. He doesn't see himself as a villain. He sees himself as the only adult in the room.
The Abyssal Innkeeper
antagonist and mirror figureLurks on Floor 100 of the Meridian Grand — the original hotel owner, a Dungeon Lord from 200 years ago who completely merged with the dungeon. He is what Ethan could become if he stops fighting the merge. Once human, now something preserved in amber: a consciousness stretched across an entire building, remembering what it felt like to have hands, to taste food, to sleep.
The Living Dungeon
deuteragonist and entityThe dungeon's alien consciousness — not evil, not good, but fundamentally other. It thinks in terms of prey, territory, and growth. It chose Ethan because his grandfather was its previous host, and it has been waiting dormant for thirty years. It speaks to Ethan in dreams, offering power in exchange for letting it feed on the energy of those who die within its floors. Over time it becomes more human-like, and Ethan becomes more dungeon-like — two minds meeting somewhere in the middle.
Rina
first ally and double agent20-year-old dungeon safety appraiser assigned to evaluate the Meridian Grand for regulatory compliance. Bubbly, resourceful, and sharper than her clipboard suggests. She's actually embedded by the Dungeon Hunter Association to monitor the property. But she genuinely comes to love the hotel — and the man running it.
Ethan Cross
protagonist25-year-old former barista and night-shift worker who inherits a 100-floor dungeon disguised as the Meridian Grand Hotel. Pragmatic, dry-humored, surprisingly ruthless when protecting his guests. The Living Dungeon slowly merges with his personality, making him more calculating and alien over time.
Sera
rival and reluctant ally23-year-old S-rank adventurer with a haunted past. Her previous team was killed in a dungeon — this dungeon, years ago, by a former Dungeon Lord. She returns to the Meridian Grand sensing something familiar. Cold, precise, distrustful, but drawn to Ethan's strange warmth. She carries a scar on her left forearm from the night she barely escaped.
