Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells, pushing the boundaries of mana's infinite possibilities. Like most Fae, her destiny seemed clear until that fateful day of her Class Trial, when the Blind Lich unleashed an undead apocalypse on her home, the fabled underground city of Dal’mohra, and triggered The Breaking – a cataclysm that forever reshaped the world.
Saved by her mother’s legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew and loved is gone, buried under a mountain, transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich.
Now, Ali must confront her deepest fears, mastering the arts of battling monsters and braving a town riddled with corruption. As the Lich's grand design shadows her every move, she scrambles to forge new friendships and unearth ancient knowledge in her fight for survival.
Why must she struggle? All she had ever wanted was to curl up in a comfy chair with a few thousand good books. But the immortal Lich is drawn to her unique magic, ever hungry for more power to fuel his cold-hearted ambitions.
How will she survive the giant target painted on her back as her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to save herself? Will she falter, forced into the eternal servitude of undeath, or will she rise against all odds and cast him down, ridding the world of his evil?

For those of you who like fantasy worlds and exploration that is just a little different than the normal LitRPG, characters worth investing in their growth and change, and an overall easy to read and descriptive style, Dungeon of Knowledge is well worth your time! This is such a beautifully crafted, edited, and polished story you have begun, and I cannot wait to watch the rest of this journey unfold. The numerous edit passes you did have really paid off; your work has become so much more descriptive and clean. The magic and colors and fantasy is exciting, but I love how right off the bat you have put magic in the mundane. Things we would experience here and now but just a little bit more special. You’ve done a really lovely job with that, and it really has helped to make this expanding fantasy world of yours to shine. Adding to that, you have immediately given us multiple characters to begin to invest in, both positively and negatively! Their struggles and perspectives are realistic enough to relate to and fantastical enough to be excited how they will navigate their journeys in a way we couldn’t in the real here and now. I truly cannot wait to see where you go from here, and will keep my notifications on. &Nbsp;Well done on a smashing start!
