The Heart Grows - Update! · 1:50am Apr 18th, 2022

More? But of course! Thanks to my patrons for voting for bonus work to go toward this!


Coverart from the amazing Dilarus!

Dungeon games? Yeah, they're a good way to waste a few hours. The trick is to know the map and plan appropriately. Of course, it doesn't matter if you get beaten. You revise your plan for that map and do a bit better next time. Man, it'd really suck to wake up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about, barely able to even work out how to control your dungeon. Lucky that wouldn't happen to anybody, huh? What with only having one chance at getting things right, you'd have to plan extra-defensive.

Contains: Transformation, Kobolds, Isekai, Dungeon, LitRPG

Remember kids, so long as you got the fly effect and it doesnt run out while you're in a deep water or lava tile, you'll never meet &!
(Question for le author, which ascii character would represent the kobolds in this story :P)

5651575 🙃

Yes, I prefer unicode.

5651585 Ascii is the old format that used 1 byte per character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII

Unicode is the replacement that uses between 1 and a lot of bytes per displayed character. It includes all emoji, character sets, and many other symbols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode

Oh dear, I let this one sit for longer than I thought. Glad I'm caught up now. Especially given the very impressive pyromancer. Man, Travis is going to be terrifying if word ever gets out about him. A fully sapient dungeon that can assimilate captives? At least he has more time to build up before the next incursion.

... Hopefully.

Actually, it looks like he lucked out getting Pen as one of his first visitors, since it seems to be specifically her blood that allows him to assimilate adventurers into kobolds.

5651689 At least for now. MWahahahahaha!

5651691
lets hope he dont meet &

5651695
I'm assuming it's a NetHack reference, where & represents a major demon. (Kobolds are k.)

5651762 Ah. Never really got into that.
