The Ballad of Shady Greg by Wolfe Locke is a three-book LitRPG series about a merchant who sets up shop inside dungeons. Dungeon Mercantile, Dungeon Market, and Dungeon Emporium, all published in 2022, follow Shady Greg as he buys, sells, and trades his way through dangerous dungeon environments.
The series takes an unusual angle on the dungeon LitRPG genre by making commerce rather than combat the protagonist’s main tool. Greg’s business skills and questionable ethics make him a distinctive character in a genre typically dominated by warriors and mages.
