Dungeon Dive

Mars System Reboot

Late 21st century Earth is overcrowded, her natural resources dwindling rapidly. World governments and greedy mega corporations are forced to work together toward a solution.

A crew of ten humans are sent to Mars aboard Hyperion I to locate a suitable site and establish the first colony. After a months-long flight to the red planet, just as they are about to descend to the surface, problems arise. A careless accident kills a crew member, damages the ship, forcing the others to launch early. And that's just the beginning of their troubles.

On day one they learn that magic is real, and that the planet, in fact the entire galaxy, is governed by a complicated and merciless System. Their assimilation into the System makes them enemies of the paranoid powers that be on Earth, and they find themselves cut off. No communications with family, no resupply, they're on their own on a mostly dead world.

And nearly every form of life they do encounter is out to kill them.

Join Commander Fletcher and her crew as they struggle to survive a new world with new but familiar rules.

Regressor Instruction Manual (Webcomic)

One day, I was summoned to this world.


Beasts poured out, and an incredible crisis came.


My talents couldn’t have been worse.


[The player’s talent level is at rock bottom.] [Almost all the numbers are hopeless.]

Whether you have to become a warrior or a wizard.

Whether you’ve gone back in time.


You have to take advantage of everything in order to survive.


“What about it?”


“I’ll use everything I have to survive!”


Dungeon Walkers 2

Alistern “Stern” Masterson never expected to have the sort of life he found himself living. He was an irregular— a person who looked like the undead and had unusual perks— and his life hadn’t been very pleasant, so he’d written off the idea of ever finding anyone who understood him. Then, an old lady had asked for help, and he’d given it…

Stern was able to rescue Cyra Walot’s shards from the Bloodstone dungeon, after which he was brought before the city magistrate on false charges. Cyra helped him clear his name, and he was set free with the newly reborn Cyra beside him.

Although the rabbit lykian had lived a rough life and died horribly inside the dungeon, she wasn’t about to let that stop her from following her own dream. Seeing her determination, Stern offered to help her. Together, they ran the starting dungeons so that Cyra could develop the skills she would need to survive as a Walker.

Stern and Cyra found a friend in Trish Moxy, an accomplished leatherworker. That friendship blossomed and grew, becoming something that none of them had expected.

The new triad relationship and fledgling crew trained together in Darkstone, preparing to take on the next set of dungeons. These would be much harder, but they felt like they had a chance if they worked together.

After Darkstone, they set out for Waterrock. They were intent on finding people to fill out their crew, knowing they would need more allies for what the future held.

My Opinion: 141 chapters, Official English Publisher - Tappytoon


The official english manga version has a bit over a 100 chapters and more fan translated ones exist up to 141. This is a regressor story, where someone is sent back to an earlier point in their life, where he uses his vast knowledge of magic and what’s going to happen in the future to try save humanity from the coming calamities. Ultimately, it’s a slice of life adventure where the main character (MC) recruits undervalued students at a special academy and goes on these mini-adventures using the school’s trial/pocket dimension system. It’s fun to see the MC beat the naysayers and bullies and the pocket dimension system allows for interesting side-stories where the students are given quests and unearth truths about the past, doing some world building while adventuring.
