The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter

Legends speak of a hidden dungeon where rare treasures lie beyond ordinary reach. Noir, the third son of a poor noble family, has just lost the one job offer that could lift his kin out of poverty. His luck changes when a rumor leads him to an ancient doorway protected by secrets. Inside, he discovers a peculiar talent: the ability to create, grant, and adjust skills for himself and others. The power isn’t free and needs points earned by completing tasks of varying difficulty, from tasting exquisite meals to engaging others in social quests and daring experiments. With each successful assignment, new tools and abilities unlock, shifting how he steers his fate, maneuvers rivals, and contends with the dungeon’s strange rules. The balance of ambition and ethics drives the character through strange corridors and comic misadventures.
