The Wraith's Haunt
Hugo Huesca
Edward Wright is swept into the world of Ivalis as a Dungeon Lord, the Dark's most powerful servant - and he has no servitude in mind. Opposing the evil plans of the Dark god Murmur, he must rise to power through wits and guts, commanding minion armies against the Militant Church's Heroes in the eternal battle between Dark and Light, where both sides are cruel, uncaring monsters.
Progression: Dungeon-Lord LitRPG ladder verified from Goodreads synopses: Edward rises in power as Dungeon Lord (the Dark's most powerful servant tier) through weakened arrival to army command; explicit levels/experience economy (Heroes chase after power and experience); minion-army scaling, kingdom-scale warfare (Starevos), nightmare-factory power sources across five numbered volumes.
