Story so far

Carl, Princess Donut, and their allies have survived nine floors of Dungeon Crawler World, most recently turning the ninth floor's Faction Wars against its sponsors and transferring Larracos and its NPC army into the Ascendency's distant cotton fields. Samantha delivers that history to the memory-damaged former crawler Tipid with her usual chaotic priorities. She recalls the War Mage Rebellion arriving under Akuma, killing Stalwart, attacking Elle, and stealing the Gate of the Feral Gods before disappearing alongside Agatha. She also remembers Eris joining the divine battle, Donut compressing enemies into a deadly magical mass, Li Na suffering an injury that prevents her from healing, and Li Jun and Yarilo dying in the violence. Lucia Mar's fractured condition remains dangerous, while Rend saved Mongo from her final dog. Katia left the dungeon after becoming pregnant, separating her from Carl and Donut after the Crown of the Sepsis Whore forced both women toward the same lethal conflict. Louis survived possession by the Dream through a grotesque transplant that left him with gills, though Samantha mostly frames the episode as proof of their imagined romance. Justice Light has broken the Nothing, releasing powers connected to Samantha's past, and the dungeon's ultimate boss, Scolopendra, has awakened. Tipid, who remembers events only from the point after his memory was erased, endures the breathless account while Bucket Boy and Bigs listen. The party has won Faction Wars, but its victories have scattered allies, freed gods and enemies, and left several threats unresolved as the tenth floor approaches.
