About

NOTE: Will be Stubbing Book 1 on December 10, 2026  An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity that had once been sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter, though in a much reduced state.  A temple monk on her way home for a vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus due to the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, leading to an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death caused a goddess to pity her fate and revive her as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential but whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded. Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being. The primary romantic relationship is poly and mutual. Mild content warning:  Occasional swearing, "fade to black", Public Displays of Affection, typical fantasy violence (no unnecessary gore), rare instances of "disturbing content", and never in detail. The release schedule is currently every Sunday Only authorized on Royal Road, Scribble Hub, and r/RedditSerials ARC 1 COMPLETE (ends in volume/book 7), Arc 2 begins with book 8.  Book 1 will be published by Podium, starting December 15th, 2026.  Amazon: ( https://www.amazon.com/Down-Rabbit-Hole-Dungeon-Core-Adventure/dp/B0GFDCX2CN ) Barnes and Noble: (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/down-the-rabbit-hole-a-b-zagaroth/1149137751) Bookshop.org (https://bookshop.org/a/123333/9798347033119) Cover Art done by Tsuu and Navae
