Sarah died because of her cat. Not in a blaze of glory. Not saving a busload of children. Just one badly timed trip, one expensive gaming rig, and one furry little sociopath. Then things get worse. Sarah wakes up as a sentient dungeon core. She is a magic crystal buried in a cave, trapped in a world run by a snarky System, buried under soul-crushing debt, and expected to do the one thing she absolutely does not want to do. Become a monster.

Timothy Rolls never wanted to be a hero. He wanted a cup of tea, a quiet evening, and to get home safely. Instead, he got evidence. The kind that gets people killed. In a provincial town where a murderer walks free and reputation is everything, one small man stands between justice and a very convenient suicide. What saves him has nothing to do with courage, police, or luck — and everything to do with an orange he nearly didn't pick up.
