AI Description (Public)

Book. The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook by Anonymous.

This is a unique item.

Chicken and Goblin recipes galore! But it’s more than that, too. Each recipe is accompanied by a hilarious tale by the anonymous author, recounting some of the zany and madcap misadventures they experienced gathering these mouth-watering recipes. Fun for the whole family! This book is a real hoot.[2][3]

Description

The cookbook is a thick book, approximately the size of a large dictionary, with a nondescript cover bearing an anarchy symbol in lieu of a title. One of two single books presented to Carl as options on Prize Carousel on the Fourth Floor, the cookbook glints as the carousel turns; he "couldn’t tell if that was the glow of magic or the glint of light off the gold-leafed pages."[3][4]

After selecting the item, Carl receives the same public AI description that everyone else sees. It is not until he cracks open the book that his Escape Plan Skill triggers, and he sees the true welcome message:

Hello, Crawler. As you’re about to find, this is a very special book. If you’re reading these words, it means this book has found its way into your hands for one purpose and one purpose only.

Together, we will burn it all to the ground.

Created by the System AI during the 15th season of Dungeon Crawler World, the cookbook has passed to Crawlers who meet specific criteria and conditions. When a crawler inherits the cookbook, a second page is added to their scratchpads that allows them to record their discoveries, experiences, recipes, secret societies, thoughts, and more, for future cookbook holders to use.

The cookbook takes a new form each time it enters the Dungeon, typically tailored for the crawler. Neither the audience nor the show producers can see its contents, but the System AI is aware of its existence. The book does not break dungeon rules but, should anyone at all suspect that it is more than it appears to be, the crawler will lose access to the book. The book disappears from the crawler's inventory upon death or retirement.[5]
