''The Dungeon Calls for a Sage'' is a [[RPGMechanicsVerse litRPG]] WebSerialNovel available [[https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/16679/the-dungeon-calls-for-a-sage here]].

An ancient Dungeon is dying, its FinalBoss defeated, its Dungeon Core chamber about to be breached by adventurers.
In spite, it [[CollapsingLair self-destructs the Dungeon]].
And as it dies, it wonders:
''What was the point of it all?''

Then it gets the option to reincarnate - a chance it eagerly grasps. To be a living creature, able to see the surface world, to have a meaningful impact on the world, to -

Nope. [[ADungeonIsYou Reincarnated as a Dungeon.]] Again.

In another fantasy world, with new fantasy races, a first-level Dungeon gains awareness...
A Dungeon with serious [[UsefulNotes/{{Existentialism}} existential issues]].

Who can answer the Dungeons questions, solve its dilemmas? Adventurers aren't known for their philosophical acumen. And those are the ones who flock to a Dungeon, [[{{Munchkin}} to bash monsters with swords, to get better swords, to bash bigger monsters.]]

At least... unless the Dungeon is full of fiendish puzzles only Sages and wise men could solve...

* ADungeonIsYou - the protagonist. Again.
* NewGamePlus - Archimedes still has the Dungeon know-how of a millennia-old Dungeon, and knows all the tricks for growing a Dungeon as fast as possible. This also makes it easy to "invent" new Dungeon features.
* AnalProbing - turns out, the Survey spell that maps out a Dungeon's passages - a ''literal cavity search'' - is basically this for a sensitive Dungeon. Archimedes has an entire arc dealing with the trauma and its repercussions.
