As all kids do, Hera dreamed of becoming an explorer. Sadly, when she turned 18, she found that her stats and lack of skills made her fall short of the requirements to become one. She ended up working at a bookstore.

That should have been the end of her story. But when she won a lottery for a level-up, she discovered a hidden and rare skill.

The system reignited her dream, and this time she was determined not to let it slip away.

##############################

This story is set in a world where game-like systems are commonplace. Everyone has a level, status, and skills. If your stats are good enough, you can become an explorer—someone who ventures into the MAZE, a dungeon filled with monsters, creatures, and magical elements absent from the regular world.

The narrative follows Hera, a woman who always wanted to be an explorer but whose low status prevented her from achieving this dream. One day, she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time, giving her a second chance to fulfill her childhood aspiration.

The story focuses more on the possibilities and how things work rather than power or revenge.

The pace might be a bit slow for some, but that's intentional. I aim to give the story a slice-of-life feel.

    This is an adventure that leaves you in the edge of your seat, takes you high, and will drop the bottom of your world. An amazing book full of life like we can only dream of. Guaranteed an incredible read that will have you enjoying re-reading it from the beginning, aham, over a half dozen times.

    This is an absolute amazing book that can be enjoyed more than once. Even with it still being a work in progress I've already reread it 6 times while waiting for new chapters. Sometimes you forget some details or they seem like background noise, but later they are really fundamental to details later and thus makes rereads still very enjoyable as you find such nuggets.
    Descriptions are delightful, bringing you along with Hera in her journey experiencing and seeing so many things. A fantastic book by a fantastic author.

    One of the most enjoyable dungeon novels I have read and I am hoping this story will go for a long time. Dungeon and class breakdowns have really been entertaining and make sense. Even the thought process of how mc gets to her chosen dungeon weapon was cool.

    For now, some of the side characters could use a little more character development but that is a small nitpick on my end. Really like how most of side characters and even party members have goals. The party members are not just blindly following the mc like loyal dogs like most novels.  Some of them even have obligations that force them to step away from party.  It makes the world seem more fleshed out and makes me feel main character is going through many people to get to her own goals.  Which I really like.

    The beginning is a little slow and I was kinda put off by the low-esteem mc and her family interactions. Felt like I had to push through it. After all, I'm not going into dungeon novels to learn about domestic issues involving self-esteem.

    However, once the story moves towards the training & dungeon life (which is the majority of this novel so far), it is really good.

    A very interesting story, while slow, it’s extremely believable and interesting. The characters Feel alive and just how someone would react to getting Skills or Spells. Or fighting. So far a good read, and my favorite on the site!

    Firstly, I should say that I love the story!!!!
    I rarely read a story with less than 200 chapters, but this story just seemed so much fun.
    It’s a light story of a girl with a faithful to her dream. It’s upbeat and so far it has avoided the intense drama, angst, and generalized killing of Dungeon stories. It reminds me a little of the mood of japanese adventurer light novels.

    I have one complaint: 3 chapters a week is too few!!!! But no pressure, I keep counting the hours for the next chapter.
    And I have a few doubts: why haven’t the army of the different countries of the world moved to take control of the resources of the maze? Who is in charge of the guild and how is it able to mantain itself independent from the government?
    If I think of more questIons, I write later.

    Love this series! Just saw the new cover art, I really like it! You do a great job developing the word around Hera, It’s nice seeing the culture per say of the dungeon world. It’s a bit slow going in the actual plot, but that is picking up and I’m excited for them to get into the maze!

    The maze is one of the best stories I've ever read in my life! It is very perfect, brilliant and of an immeasurable creativity.
    Nothing in my life will make more sense after this story. (sorry for my grammar, my english sucks) I love you <3

    Shameless self-review.

    I do hope everyone can enjoy this novel. Our MC will spend a lot of time on her own exploring and discovering things inside the MAZE.

    The idea is to mix some regular fantasy troupes with some slice of life, showing how is to actually live as someone who fights monsters and explore different places for a living.
