The eighth book in the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series launches Carl and Princess Donut into a high-speed new challenge—complete with exclusive bonus content only available in this print edition.
In the aftermath of the Faction Wars, chaos spills beyond the dungeon as panic spreads across the world above. Inside, Carl and Donut arrive on the tenth floor, where the system introduces a deceptively simple set of trials: races.
The rules are straightforward—go from point A to point B and avoid finishing last. After each race, participants earn vehicle upgrades, but with every round, the tracks become more complex, more dangerous, and far less predictable. What begins as “normal” quickly starts to feel wrong.
Meanwhile, strange glitches begin appearing more frequently, and unsettling whispers circulate about the mysterious eleventh floor—an ominous stage the system AI refers to as A Parade of Horribles, described as a “coming-out party for the ages.” Even the showrunners don’t fully understand what’s coming.
Yet the system insists: everything is fine.
Carl, however, refuses to accept a reality where control is taken from him. With his agency restricted, he begins planning something of his own—something so risky and unpredictable that even his closest allies can’t be told.
Because if it fails, the consequences won’t just be limited to Carl and Donut.
The stakes have never been higher.
