The Torchbearer Takes A Break After 100 Years Looping In The Dungeon

The Torchbearer Takes A Break After 100 Years Looping In The Dungeon

The story is on a short-term hiatus while I close up another project, should be back around the end of summer (2026)! Miles had spent a hundred years locked in the Dungeon. And he was tired of it. What had begun as a simple delve had ended up with him dying and being selected as a Custodian to a Dungeon that spanned entire worlds. Now that he had finished his initiation and was allowed to leave the Dungeon without losing the amazing Skill it provided, he was going to take a long, relaxing break. And he had plans for it. He wanted to plant some fruits, bake some pastries, and brew some tasty coffee. Maybe share it with a few visitors here and there. And when he'd get bored, he'd swing by the Dungeon. For now, he had earned himself a little break. Hopefully, the rest of the world would let him enjoy it. What to Expect: - Easy-going OP MC with room to grow, - The story begins as a part of his life is concluding and new one is starting. MC is familiar with his own world. We aren't. And aspects and corners of this world will be covered and communicated early, but not all on chapter 1. - Timeloops would only affect the Dungeon and the worlds within. The relationships and events that take place on the Surface will not be lost because of the loops.  - Litrpg elements are mostly on entrance and exit from the Dungeon. No Stats. - Schedule: Once a week on Fridays (or Saturday, if I'm running late). Chapters would average 3-4k words. Early chapters are on the longer side.

Readers arrive, few stick

Traffic is strong, but conversion trails comparable stories. The usual suspects are the blurb, the cover and the opening chapters — fixing the hook multiplies everything the existing traffic brings.

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
