History Webcomic / DungeonReset

* DragonsAreDivine / DragonsAreDemonic: [[spoiler:When Dawoon defeats the [[BigBad Dragon of Apocalypse]] possessing the Doppelganger King, he is surprised and dismayed to find everyone is still trapped in the dungeon, and not being sent home. Retrieving the Book of Apocalypse, the tome suddenly comes alive, revealing its the SoulJar of the evil dragon, and curses him for interfering with his resurrection. Dawoon is confused how the monster's alive if he supposedly fought to the death with Erthea. The book angrily replies dragons ''are immortal'', and never truly die, merely "sleep". The Rabbit scoffs that they should burn the book, to where the annoyed beast rebukes him saying such a feat [[MadeOfIndestructium is impossible]].

* DivineConflict: [[spoiler: After Dawoon uncovers the existence of the shrines, its revealed that eons ago, there was a GreatOffscreenWar between the [[GodIsEvil dragon of death]], and the [[GodIsGood dragon of life, Erthea]]. The latter lost, reduced to an [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen unconscious skeletal form]] that is trying to revive itself. The dragon of death however, also suffered heavy losses. Both are trying to resurrect themselves. Erthea placed altars across the world to those worthy of bringing her back to life. The Dragon of the Apocalypse has taken over the game world - so much that the ''whole dungeon is his altar'', and via his animals guides, is now using it to harvest human life energy. Dawoon was merely one of countless sacrifices brought to Erthea's hijacked game by the Rabbit, as an offering to the evil BeastOfTheApocalypse]].

* DivineConflict: [[spoiler: Heavily implied after Dawoon uncovers the existence of the shrines, that eons ago, there was a GreatOffscreenWar between the [[GodIsEvil dragon of death]], and the [[GodIsGood dragon of life, Erthea]]. The latter lost, reduced to an [[HowTheMightyHaveFallen unconscious skeletal form]] that is trying to revive itself. The dragon of death has taken over the game world, using it to harvest human life energy for its own selfish purpose. Revealing Dawoon was brought to Erthea's hijacked game by the Rabbit, as an offering to the dragon of death]].

* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: The Doppelganger King is [[GrandTheftMe later possessed]] by the very [[GodOfEvil Dragon of Apocalypse]] trying to resurrect itself after its battle with Erthea. Whereas Erthea has altars, to the evil dragon, ''the whole dungeon is his altar'' and anyone human participants who die playing his cruel game are sacrifices to bring his body back. Alpha warns Dawoon not to allow the possessed-Doppelganger King to come into contact with the [[LivingMacGuffin Book of Apocalypse]], otherwise the evil dragon will return and they (and the world) are all screwed.]]

* GoodColorsEvilColors: When the apostle of life, Alpha, that serves Erthea speaks to Dawoon via the dungeon system, it's in a golden textbox. When the BigBad Dragon of the Apocalypse speaks, it's in a sinister purple message prompt.

A webcomic illustrated by Studio [=ANT=] based on the LightNovel of the same name, ''Dungeon Reset'' follows the adventures of a Korean teenager who finds himself trapped in the first level a deadly video-game-esque dungeon filled with monsters, traps, magic, and a malevolent game master intent on killing him off.

* MakeAnExampleOfThem: The rabbit game guide swiftly decapitates the first human who stands up to him, as a way of showing the kidnapped players they've got no recourse to fight against him. This winds up [[NiceJobFixingItVillain biting him in the ass]] big-time later on. The Rabbit is allowed to do this only ''once'' per group, as a part of the rules designed to maximise the life force that can be gained from the sacrifices of every player. When Dawoon accidentally survived his near-fatal plunge into the spike pit, he still [[LoopholeAbuse technically counted]] as a member of the group the Rabbit had used his authority on, meaning that even when he's aware of his survival and shenanigans in manipulating the dungeon to his advantage, the Rabbit [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim cannot directly attack Dawoon]] and correct the 'glitch'. He's instead forced to pretend that Dawoon is NotWorthKilling given he's trapped in the spike pit at first, and when Dawwon deduces the truth, he's forced to hope that the various animals in stage one will kill him instead.

* TheAce: Ryu Seung-woo becomes the leader of the survivors because he's good at ''everything''. His swordsmanship is top-notch; his Skill is a flashy lightning-summoning ability; his planning and tactics keep the group alive; and his interpersonal abilities make him someone his fellow survivors look up to and are glad to follow. Dawoon in particular idolizes Ryu Seung-woo, hoping to become "a man like him" some day.

* AGlitchInTheMatrix: As Dawoon was supposed to die in one of the game's cruel traps, but survived thanks to Seung-Woo moving onto the next stage, his stats are ''all messed up''. The GameMaster Rabbit is confused, then horrified to find this glitch not only affects the dungeon, making certain changes permanent after every reset, but also means Dawoon [[LevelGrinding can level grind]] for monster kill tallies more easily.

** Oh Changseok, the Elder/ founder of Gap Village, has a Skill called "Insight." At first the Skill was disappointing because it granted no benefits to combat or defense, but as Changseok leveled up his "Insight" he discovered it could show him the strengths and weaknesses of monsters, dungeons, and other players. Though the Skill became impressive, Changseok was ultimately too weak to face the final dungeon of Stage 4. His "Insight" revealed just how dangerous the dungeon truly was, and he fled as he companions took on the challenge.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway:
** Dawoon's "Skill" acquired at the start of the game is "Purification," the ability to clean dirty things. He can't use it to defend the group from monsters or detect traps, which puts him at the bottom of the pecking order. [[spoiler: Subverted in that Dawoon's Skill ''was'' valuable in keeping players alive outside of combat, they just didn't appreciate his contributions until he was gone. "Purification" can make poisonous monster meat and dangerous mushrooms perfectly edible, clean wounds, and make any source of water safe to drink. Later on in the story, Dawoon uses his Skill to destroy the fields of poison gas that separate the game's levels and create rudimentary gas masks by imbuing the Skill into a simple face covering.]]
** Dawoon's dirt digging ability was also seen this way by both him and the Rabbit at first. With it turning out to be a MagikarpPower like most of the other proficiency-based skills (that he exploits like no tomorrow once he realizes this), it soon becomes his bread-and-butter in handling combat situations once it evolves into [[DishingOutDirt full-on earth manipulation]].

* DivineRanks: Among the animal god-like guides, their status is determined by the number of dungeons they each manage, the top hat rabbit of the first stage has just one, whereas the fedora-wearing baboon has two, ''and a name''. [[spoiler: At the [[TopGod very principle]] of this celestial order, is the [[GodIsEvil dragon of death]].]]

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler:The first time when bitter enemies, Dawoon and the GameMaster Rabbit, feel any comradery towards each other is when both lament they have [[TalkingToThemself no one else to talk to]]. Dawoon, because he's trapped in the spiked pit he was meant to die in. The Rabbit, because he's a [[AboveGoodAndEvil god-like being]] whose games aren't designed to make friends. The other guides don't treat the Rabbit as an equal as he's on [[DivineRanks the bottom of their totem pole]]]].
