Dungeon Crawler Carl: A LitRPG/Gamelit Adventure

Product Information

Katia later gets another bolt that can gain the same benefit, with extra damage and armour-piercing. His mother, in an attempt to free Carl from their shared misery attempted to kill both herself and his father and only succeeded in committing suicide, all on Carl’s birthday.

If you are injured, or poisoned, or if you get a hangnail, you will suffer the ill effects and pain of that injury until the moment your prey is killed. The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: After Carl kills Hunter Vrah's sister, she sends him a helpful warning — because she wants him to survive until she can kill him slowly and painfully herself. The Hunters don't turn on each other, but Carl notes that their tendency to work alone and scatter in the face of a threat makes them easy meat when the tables are turned and the Crawlers unitedly come for them. Before he could decide to sell it, Donut bit it out of his hand and underwent a transformation which gave her sapience and the ability to talk via the Enhanced Growth buff.Carl's "Surprise Three" is for her to make a hole, drag something through it, and cancel the spell so that the mob is cut in half. Falling into the dungeon and somehow entering into the Tutorial Room before Carl, she was cleaning herself when Carl pulled out the Enhanced Pet Biscuit. Mix-and-Match Weapon: It's a bit cobbled together, but Carl's rocket-powered buzz-saw proves to be effective against Lusca the Octo-Shark. Carl is offered a legendary box that would let him cruise through to level 8, in exchange for giving up the source of information that helped him kill Loita, but he rejects the deal.

The reason Donut keeps getting common torches in her minor boxes is because she hisses in annoyance every time she gets one, and the AI finds it funny. Not Quite Dead: Donut's "Cockroach" skill lets her occasionally survive an attack that ought to have killed her.But NPCs can, and they can even bring Carl's flying house through, making it available on the next floor. Crippling Overspecialization: Hekla's party is built completely around her, and her overpowered crossbow that becomes more powerful the more women who are in the party. He in turn picks up a hunter who swears a vendetta to eat his organs and take his head as a trophy, after he kills her sister. A Syndicate liaison informs Carl that it set off all sorts of system flags and balance check subroutines when it was generated. Glass Cannon: Donut is actually stronger than Carl, but with miniscule Constitution, so she can't properly fight in melee.

Unfortunately this later results in the system getting upset about him not stepping on one, and it sends an endless wave of gerbils after him until he gives in and squashes fifty. Ridiculously Potent Explosive: Carl picks up a soul crystal enclosed in a magical cage Just in Time before it goes off. Donut and Propotente became intelligent crawlers in their own right, both with a spot in the top ten. On the trains, he discovers that dropping the shell at the front of the train results in all the mobs getting violently dragged through all the walls, inevitably killing all of them.

She eventually gets a chance to see Carl and Donut, but can't do much more than stare at them and give minimal answers to questions she's asked. The sixth floor ends with an unprecedented 100% mortality rate among the Hunters, and the eighth floor ends with a surprise twist that, instead of 30,000 Crawlers dying to betrayal and despair, 30,000 Crawlers survive thanks to a Hail Mary from Carl. Mordecai gets concerned about how fast this one is going downhill, though; it normally takes until around the twelfth floor for them to be completely cuckoo, but there are serious warning signs by the fifth. The first clue to her status is when Mordecai, at first terrified, visibly relaxes on closer examination of her, which she explains to Carl and Donut is because she's not a Party member. He gets kept in storage most of the time just so that he doesn't get himself killed fighting threats outside his weight class.

Nearly everyone on Earth dies in the initial collapse and a little more than fourteen million people make it into the dungeon and the numbers drop shockingly fast, with several million dead by the end of the first day.Exploited Immunity: Carl ensures that all the Crawlers attending the Butcher's Masquerade are supplied with dinosaur repellent and feather-fall potions.
